A meticulously maintained 1970 Plymouth Superbird with a numbers-matching 440 V8 is a rare gem for collectors at auction
A true piece of American automotive history is set to cross the auction block: a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird, VIN RM23U0A155780, equipped with a numbers-matching 440 cubic-inch, 4-barrel V8 engine. This rare and iconic muscle car has been meticulously maintained by its single owner and has clocked just 59,716 miles since new. With its unmistakable design and performance pedigree, this Superbird is a prime example of an era when performance cars dominated the streets and racetracks alike.
Finished in a crisp white, this Superbird was built as a NASCAR homologation special, and it carries with it a rich racing heritage. The car was the 9th Superbird ever built and is notable for being the first one fitted with a 440-4 barrel engine. This engine is mated to an automatic transmission, making it not just a rare collector’s item, but also a vehicle that can be driven and enjoyed on the road.
Adding to the car’s authenticity and value, it comes with the original bill of sale and build sheet, verifying its provenance. This example also includes NASCAR-specific features, such as the screen under the front nose, further connecting it to the racing heritage that made the Superbird legendary. Its 440 V8 engine and performance-oriented design made it a formidable force on the racetrack, and today it remains a highly sought-after collector's car.
This Plymouth Superbird stands as a testament to the bold designs and engineering innovation of the muscle car era. With its iconic high rear wing, pointed nose cone, and aerodynamic design, it is guaranteed to turn heads wherever it goes. The combination of rarity, original documentation, and careful ownership makes this Superbird a must-see at the auction.
