If you’re currently in the market for purchasing a Plymouth Superbird, then prices can vary enormously. Lots of factors are at play, such as engine type(440ci. or hemi), color and other rare options. A quick flick through the eBay listings show prices ranging from $159k to $350k.
The 440ci. versions are the easiest to get hold of and this nice example from Smoky Mountain Traders seems to hit a nice happy medium between quality and rarity. It apparently has a numbers matching drivetrain(440ci. and 727 transmission) and is the 128th Superbird produced.
The car comes in a brighter than the sun Lemon Twist and the factory V19 black vinyl top option. The decals round the body look in great condition, as per the rest of the bodywork, but no mention to past restoration work or its back history. The factory undercoating is still in place, with no signs of any rust spots, at least from the provided images.(you will have to enquire for included paperwork and proof of back history.)
Inside the car features the bench seat option, with factory steering wheel and working Beep Beep horn. Everything in here looking as clean as the day it was born.
As for the drivetrain, it has the numbers matching 440ci. V8, 2951736 Intake and a Holley 750 carburettor, linking to a 727 automatic transmission, flowing through to a Sure Grip 8 inch Rear end and 3.55 gears. Exhaust wise there are 2899879 and 2951865 manifolds, linking to dual pipes and Turbo Mufflers. Power steering and power brakes are also included.
This Superbird is a fine example of the breed and we know from past experience that Smoky Mountain Traders sell quality muscle cars, so there shouldn’t be any disputes over quality and authenticity.
This example may not be the rarest of Superbird’s out there, lacking some of the rarer options. But, in all other respects, it ticks all the boxes you would expect from a quality Plymouth Superbird. Definitely worth looking into if you want to be seen from a million miles away.
