Does anyone know of this Superbird found in Belleville Michigan?? Barn find

[mybluebird]

You got one of those cars off the radar screen .A friend of mine bought a superbird in 1971-1972 owned by a guy who had a race team the Knight brothers from Albany GA that raced superbirds.He got his car off them .It was a unknown to the clubs low mileage car.

Im al little lost.. Are you saying there is a slight possibility that that car could be our car?

No this a different vin and a known car that lived near me.Your is probably long off the radar screen to the clubs as the vin 641 is showing a Mi car nothing on 642 .And something on 643 is recorded.But 642 doesnt show up as far back as club 79 records

So I cut these off the Bird not long ago. These are exactally like I cut the off. This was hands down the loudest back fire I have ever heard. I wasnt even sure a car could make this much noise. And to make things worse I was under a loft indoors! When they went bang it looked like a coal mine shaft fell in it was soo black with dust haha. This happened at 7 in the morning and my ears rang until I went to bed that night. Everyone that heard it was in a daze for about 5 minutes haha. So just so yall know this is what can happen if your balist resistor goes bad and you keep cranken haha. The sign is you can crank and crank and crank but no fire and when you stop cranken it wants to fire or fires... STOP THEN haha!! Just thought ud get a kick out of my hearing loss..

I guess try calling you area MI DMV and see what records are availabe.Thru their historical title search resource.If they offer this service for 70s cars

[elacruze]

Larry,  If you are cranking on the car and it does not start, it's not the ballast resistor.  The ballest resistor is bypassed when you are cranking on it.  (hint, the side that has 2 wires is the one from the ignition switch start mode and the other wire is going to the coil.  The other side of the ballast is energized when the key is in the run position.) If you let the key go and it starts the resistor is good.  Check your ignition switch.  The (Start) wire.  If you go to start the car and it starts and then you let the key go and it dyes,  well than that is  the ballast.   Also some more mopar auto 101,  , stop pumping fuel in the exhaust system next time..  If you continue to try to blow up the bird you will find it missing.....   :-)~

 The white 'Bird is my Hemibird.  A friend from Maine finished his yellow 'bird and brought it to Carlise a couple years ago.  He stopped in Ct. and picked my car up on the way.  The yellow 'Bird has a Hemi in it, but it was dealer installed in 1970.

The guy that owns the yellow Hemi bird is a good friend of mine. I would have to see proof of the Hemi being dealer installed...

[mybluebird]

Ok, a little piece dies inside of me every day that goes by because I know Im one day closer to the impossibility of finding these past owners or photos of the car Hard to untic a clock

[WINGIN IT]

Heck,  I would just enjoy the car, and keep searching, but don't drive yourself crazy.
A blue bird with a hemi in it , is an awesome thing !
