That was COOL! I wonder whatever happened to the Superbird?

Gotta love the "Big Country Dodge" lettering in place of the Plymouth call-outs.

Makes me wonder if the 'bird was already a dealer trade-in.

That is so badass, They were really flogging that bird good!!! 8500 miles!! I thought it was interesting why the guy said the tires would not be good for a police cruiser?? That would have been awesome if they had it painted like a cruiser with a light bar on it!!!! What could have been!
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

Since the narrator was from New Mexico and owned the car, I wonder if that is how the legend of the New Mexico pursuit Superbird got started.

The Superbird now painted Black is owned by a woman in New Mexcio, I have sent her all the information I had left in my possession.
I had installed dual quads on the 440, and she said they are still there.
I hope she will someday restore the car, which she indicated was her intentions
