The Plymouth Superbird was a single-season (1970) homologation special built to lure NASCAR champion Richard Petty back to Plymouth, featuring aerodynamic bodywork developed with wind-tunnel testing and NASA engineering input. This example carries its original numbers-matching 440 cubic-inch Six-Pack V-8 with triple Holley carburetors, a four-speed manual with pistol-grip shifter, and Dana 9¾-inch Sure Grip rear axle. Finished in factory Tor Red over a white bucket-seat interior, the car has undergone a full restoration and presents in period-correct specification.
