In 1970 Plymouth produced a "Winged Warrior" of it's own. The Plymouth Super Bird was created as a high speed race machine designed for the NASCAR races, but yet available to the public. The Superbird was based on the Plymouth Road Runner with a special nose that added 19 inches to the overall length and the trunk spoiler was angled and raised higer with a two foot high spoiler. In 1970 NASCAR required a manufacturer to build one unit per dealer, instead of the previous year which was 500 units total. Plymouth built a total of about 1,920 - 1,970 SuperBirds. Pete Hamilton won the Daytona 500, with a Plymouth Superbird. The base price was almost $4300.00. The SuperBirds were available with three different engines, including;

  • Basic Super Commando 440 V8 with a single four barrel carb rated at 375 hp.
  • 440 Six Pack rated at 390 hp.
  • 426 Hemi, rated at 425 hp. (Ordered in Only 93 cars)

Despite the success of the SuperBird on the tracks, 1970 would be the only year it was made.
