1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird Coupe

This Plymouth Superbird was purchased by the current owner at Altman Kramer Chrysler-Plymouth Dodge in Huntington, Indiana during late March 1970. It is mainly original, barring the one repaint that was executed many years ago. The car was repainted because of basic nicks and scratches from being stored in the family garage. It is finished in the correct color for this car, Alpine White and has an all original Black interior. The mileage is original and totals less than 29,000 miles.

The engine is an original from the factory V-Code that is 440-cid with 390 horsepower with three two-barrel carburetors ('Six-Pack') and is connected to a column-mounted automatic transmission. The seat is uncommonly the bench type, of which few were built in this power / transmission / seat combination. Production numbers vary somewhat, depending on the source. According to the Plymouth Superbird NASCAR Race Program Serial Number List, 1,162 cars were produced with the 440 four-barrel. Another 665 carried the 440 with three-two-barrels (like this car), and the remaining 93 were powered by the 426 Hemi. These figures add to a total of 1,920 cars produced. Of the 665 examples built with this engine, 408 had the automatic transmission.

The Superbird was undercoated from new, has a dealer-installed hood tachometer, Rallye wheels, AM radio and optional chrome exhaust tips. The car's one owner states that the vehicle has only been in the rain 'a few times' in its 43 years and has never been exposed to winter conditions.
