Super bird

[1BAD68]

I'm not a big fan of super birds but this thing is cool.
Saw it at a show today in Saukville WI. Looks all original and well used.

   Wow, nice. And still going.

Gotta love the ones that get driven.

This is a low miles car, maybe 14,000 or 15,000 on the clock.   It came up from Tennessee in the late 70's and has been in the area since.    Same owner for 30 years.   It doesn't get out much.    Headed back from Road America, I saw show cars heading north from Saukville earlier this evening and wondered where they came from.  

Here's another shot with Roy and Diane, the lucky owners.  They are big NASCAR fans.

Call it blasphemy, but the Superbird is for sure the better looking of the wing cars.

Personally I think the Daytona is by far the better looking of the two.

Another nod for the Daytona as the better looking!! 

[41husk]

I would like one of each, just so I could compare

Superbirds are still cool as heck...................

Superbirds are much better , High back buckets , Pistol Grip shifters , Six pac motors  ,High impact colors . Oh and the best body styling mother mopar ever made 70 Road Runner  .

Was the tow rope a 70 option?

if the original motor is long gone and blown up and the cars been sitting in my garage since 1977  yes

To me, the Daytona has very purposeful, functional appearance to it.  Like it was meant to go racing.  Even without the superior styling cues of the 69 Charger, it just looks like it was meant for business.  To me, the Superbird, as much as I like them and I truly truly do, has the appearance of a car that marketing got a hold of and filled with nifty gimmicks.

Maybe that is why the dodge version is named after a racetrack, and the plymouth was named after a cartoon character.
What would you have done different?  Todays' technology doesn't count.  Stick with the era. A different name maybe? I would at least lose the id ads on the side.

i always wanted an orange 70 roadrunner. would probably trade my gtx for it

The cartoon graphics are the thing I wish they had used on the Daytona

It 'd  be my luck to go to the wrong pageant.  I have to go with the Daytona.  It came first for a reason, and it still comes in first at quite a few events show or go.

Dudes! Cerealously?  Daytona 100%

I did a post on a Superbird in my town that still sits on deflated original Goodyears molding away.  I drove by the house last month and peeked in the garage.  It's still there. Original miles and orange paint with under 20k on it, just getting molded.  What a shame.  Pisto grip to boot.  She took the fender tag off and hid it.  My friend said this is the type of car that one day will be bought with the house when it's for sale and she's gone.  The car will get posted online and sold, and no one will ever know where the fender tag is?  It'll get thrown out with paper and boxes during the clean up.     But I know where it is.
