Superbird found, sat in storage and last registered in 1981

[GOTWING]

Hi, Im new to the sight, and new to operating on a forum. I joined because i would like to know if any of you educated winged fellows have any information on a Superbird that i found and purchased in April of 2004 that was sitting in a outbuilding in Rising Sun MD.near the college, Long story short the car was last registered in 1981 with PA. stickers. It has been in my hands now for 8 years this April and I have never tried to find out any history on it and after reading posts on this sight you guys have me pumped to find out more about it's past! The VIN # is RM23U0A167142 it is a numbers matching 440 4bbl. with a column shifted auto. with white bench seat.original fender tag is there,The car is EK2 vit. C orange, the vinyl top and all of the interior is original and clean. The car was repainted around 1977 according to the man i bought it from. The actual mileage when i got it was just 40k orig. miles. I have put about 3,500 on it since then. ( i had a lot of mechanical things to replace to get it road worthy from sitting ) I found the broadcast sheet under the back seat, it is near mint. the one i found under the drivers side of the front seat is trashed. I may or may have joined a club when i first got it in 04 but never followed through. I post pictures when i figure out how to on here. My car is the one that DRIVES to Ocean City MD. to the huge car show/cruise in. I always go down to the event in the evenings, however this year i will be in the actual car show at the inlet parking lot. Thanks.

NASCARXX29 ,Yep that is mine alright !!  that's funny you have a picture of her, that was from last year because the past years she has always had the stock rallyes with polyglass Goodyears that i picked up from Coker Tire. It is amazing how many people do take pictures of it. i put those mag wheels and tires on it this past summer. After about 7 years of the rallye wheels i needed a change .I have the originals in my garage of course. you would not beleive what i went through to get lug nuts for the one side! left hand threads! what's that all about?? i wonder how many studs got busted off at garages back then with a impact gun! Thats the 1981 PA. sticker on the front windshield corner. ( i just left it there ) Thanks for posting the picture!

Awaiting the superbird story name dates and places.Maybe we can fill in some pieces of the puzzle
If you trying to learn more on cars prior history .Id try both wingcar clubs first.Or try to find out what part of PA it came from .Maybe glovebox paperwork dealer name.Oil change decals on door jambs may have dealer or service station location to pin point the area car was in

[GOTWING]

Digging through papers in the glovebox here is what i found so far..A old business card from "car village" Timothy N. Toms ( T.N.T. ) hi-performance dealership. The address on the business card is 2300 W. Cumberland ST. Lebanon, PA. 17042.The mans name that  i bought it from is Bryan Dugger, who lives in MD. I do not think he ever tagged the car in MD. There is paperwork in the glovebox stating it has to go through MD. inspection first, mileage on that form is 39k miles.

[FJ5WING]

That dealership was big in the early eighties for selling used muscle.

I was there around 82 but dont really remember much about what was there.

That could be the same car.

[GOTWING]

  @ NASCARXX29, that is definitley my car for sure! When i got it she had the fender scoops and center cross bar of the wing painted black, and the picture is the same. the tires look the same too. large white letter good years. How did you get this picture? did you take it?

[nascarxx29]

There was a post on moparts I recall and car villlage was the topic and I posted some of my pictures I could find from my 80-s visit.And many other pictures came out and I saved them all to the computer.
