Superbird + Daytona – Everything You Need to Know

By Dave Ashton

If you want a short and concise history of a certain muscle car, sometimes there’s nothing like a video to sum things up. This video from Donut Media does exactly this with the wonderful Plymouth Superbird and Dodge Daytona winged warriors.

The two cars were built specifically to win at NASCAR and that’s exactly what they did. Strange looking beasts, they did not sell well at the time as they were just too strange looking for most, they are now super rare and expensive, especially with the Hemi engine. This video gives you a great overview of both winged warrior’s history which were doing 200 mph back in 1970. in the days of analogue, a huge nose cone and just a rear wing.

The video also gives you a few little snippets of information, you may not find elsewhere. For example, did you know that Chrysler ordered the car is not to be tested over 190mph. This was due to Ford flying spy planes over the Chrysler test track at the time. I didn’t know Ford built spy planes or cars…joke, ahem!

If you want a quick knowledge blast on these two cars, this video is a great start point.
