Based on Plymouth’s mid-size Road Runner model, the 1970-only Superbird was redesigned for NASCAR competition, which required Chrysler to produce approximately 2,000 examples for homologation. This example is finished in white and the front clip is said to have been repainted during current ownership. Features include an aerodynamic nose cone, fender vents, chrome exhaust outlets that exit below the rear bumper, a black vinyl roof, a tall rear wing, hood pins, and model-specific decals. The seller notes that various paint chips have been touched up and that paint is bubbling around the left rocker panel and left rear wheel opening.
The 15″ Rallye wheels wear chrome beauty rings and are mounted with F60-15 Goodyear Polyglas GT white-letter tires, and a spare tire is mounted in the trunk. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The tie rods, ball joints, rubber bushings, wheel bearings, shock absorbers, and rear leaf springs are said to have been replaced during current ownership.
The cabin features high-back bucket seats with black vinyl upholstery and contrasting piping joined by a color-coordinated dashboard, console, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes a center console with faux woodgrain trim, a pistol-grip shifter, a heater and defroster, a push-button AM radio, polished door sills, and crank windows. The carpet and front seat covers were reportedly replaced during current ownership.
The three-spoke steering wheel with a Road Runner horn button frames a tic-toc-tach tachometer with an inset analog clock, a 150-mph speedometer, an ammeter, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 43k miles, 3k of which were added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The seller notes that the clock does not work when the car is running.
The 440ci V8 is said to have been rebuilt in 2019 and features a four-barrel carburetor, a dual snorkel air cleaner assembly, electronic ignition, and an orange engine block, intake manifold, and valve covers. The distributor cap, ignition wires, resistors, voltage regulators, hoses, and vacuum lines to the headlights were reportedly replaced during current ownership and a fluid service was performed in 2020.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, and U-joints are said to have been replaced during current ownership.
A broadcast sheet, an operator’s manual, a warranty card, and a fitted car cover are included in the sale.
