your '300' number would have to include hardware...I got bored and added up the major stuff and got to like 77 bird-specific pieces. 

Don't forget the headlight switch!

Maybe not Superbird specific but two things they have different than the Daytona would be the Six Pack and hydraulic lifters for the Hemi.

It was more dumb luck than cooperation between divisions.   The 1970 designs were locked down well in advance of starting on the Superbird project.    Things really did not get rolling until mid-1969.

i like how the park lamp assemblys were borrowed from a 69 valiant for the daytona and the 70 fury for the superbird, i always thought that was nifty

I forgot both the top and the headliner.  I did count the horizontal trim since it's black and not silver...
