the 70's were quite a roll, the cars that were customized were far out, the ones that were produced were lousy. Here's a cheer to the customizers, the "Street Freaks" , and the street racers. Winged warrior variety




Daytonas above, Superbirds below



How about that hood scoop arrangement? A pair of Super Bee / Demon scoops, and arranged in a unique way I've never seen before. Plus, the fender scoops for tire clearance that are normally found on Superbirds aren't on this car





all found on http://70sstreetmachines.tumblr.com and http://gassers.tumblr.com

Proof that Ebay sellers are lunatics and over-estimate the value of their garage sale finds


the only other Petty Sueprbird license plate you're going to see is http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/09/rare-license-plate-richard-petty-had.html but that doesn't mean anyone wants one bad enough to blow a paycheck or so for one that will then be a dust collector

the EPA bought a Superbird, and it sold at govt auction years later for only $500


the short story is that the EPA wanted to test the exhaust of aircraft, and the brake dust from them too, so they needed a car with a high speed ability that could keep up. A 200 mph car that was affordable? Superbird of course. They added measuring equipment in the trunk, and a aircraft to car radio above the ashtray, and only used it for 10,000 miles and less than 9 years before it went to auction.

thanks Jay!
