Plymouth Superbird

Ha! Hey he said he wrestled at 140 back in the day...

This story was from back in the covid era so I didn't put myself in it wearing a stupid mask and couldn't ride along for this one.

This guy has the best vintage MOPAR collection in New Mexico though, 2 Hemi Cudas, I think about 20 super nice cars and several that are all original!

Knew that name sounded familiar, just couldn't place it !

Chubby...is the NEW Mopar cool..

Finally, I'm part of the cool guys click .......................................

My unicorn car - couldn't afford one then, still can't today

Believe it !! Prices are still nuts on these. A survivor like the one on that vid with the 6 pk, 4sp & buckets would go for $350+ right now.
A solid #2 condition example with 6pk & buckets is bringing $250 - $325 (most are ~$300). Add another $100 for a condition #1 car & another $350+ for a 426 version.

Of course there are outliers - Joe Dirt cars, resto-mods, clones (on the low end) and stuff like the white one banging around that was a 'Petty Garage' resto that's been bid up to $400 but the dude wants $700 (insane in obviously everyone's opinion given it's a Magnum 440 with the auto trans + the hood & nose do not line up properly ).

Then there is the storage issue as I'm already 1 garage slot short, so something else would either need to go or get trashed in the FL climate outside

I've thought about doing that, but not sure I want to stay in this house & I'd have to move the well which is not cheap.
Then the wife would be on me like stink on shit to remodel the kitchen & master bath - making it one hella expensive garage (plus the cost of the 'bird).

Never the less, I'll be watching this one:

Would make a nice birthday present if you're not sure what to get for me
