Didn't Dodge have the Super Bee & Plymouth the Super Bird? Regardless, rare to see, cool

 

[rabyers1]

The Super Bird was the Plymouth Super Bee in Nascar racing form with the nose cone and wing, the base form of this car was the Satellite. Dodge had the Daytona, which was the Coronet dressed up with the nose cone and wing.

Closer, but still not right. There was no Plymouth Super Bee. The '70 Superbird was a '70 Plymouth Road Runner with a nose cone and wing. There was a Dodge Super Bee from '68 through '70 based on a Dodge Coronet and was comparable to the Plymouth Road Runner. In '71, the Coronet was a 4-door only model, so Dodge moved the Super Bee to the Charger body. The '69 Dodge Daytona was a Charger with nose cone and wing, not a Coronet.

That fits with my recollection from the day. The Super Bee was the coolest 4 door out back then. And that is from a guy that was no Mopar fan. MM

very close but still a hair off
the Daytona was based on the Charger 500....the base Charger and the R/T had a recessed rear window and the Daytona and the 500 had an "aero dynamic" window.

and for trivia...
there was never a Superbird made without a vinyl top....or a Daytona WITH one :wink:

Dang! You are exactly correct, it was a '69 Charger 500 that was used to make a '69 Daytona. I forgot about the flush rear window. Being the owner of a '68 Charger, I should have remembered that!

That's a nice sleeper of '64 Sport Fury! I gather that's a 440 6-barrel under the hood?

Closer, but still not right. The Charger 500 was the first attempt at an "aero" car, this included the flush back window and the flush mounted 68 Coronet grill and was a very limited production, specially built car just like the Daytona. The Charger Daytona was just the next iteration of the "aero" package. The Super Bird was as stated, a winged and nose coned Roadrunner with other aero enhancements just like the previous two cars. Anywho, nice Pontiacs there too, carry on:smt001
Travis..

EDIT; I just noticed that the 71 burnt orangeish convertible has no emblems, but a GTO Endura front end where the black one has GTO emblems and a standard LeMans front. Just an observation.

Here is some old and new muscle pics I took while driving through the Fort Lauderdale area earlier this year...

Now here's a Tire Burner!!

well the land muscle I sold or should I say sacrificed for my boat was an extremely rare and extremely unknown top contender in muscle and pony cars.... I had a 1970 Pontiac Formula 400 Ram Air III Drag Packed optioned hybrid Pony/muscle car. If you know muscle cars, then you would remember the full chassis 421 SD Poncho Drag Packs in the mid to late 60's, well this is how my car was specially optioned. The car has a true Ram Air III 400, a Muncie M-21 close-ratio 4-speed, and a factory limited-slip 12 bolt rear with 3:73 gears. It also came equipped with all heavy duty performance suspension, 15" Rallye package, all beauty trim, deluxe interior and no luxury and even delete luxury options. For example there wasn't even rear defrost yet since 1968 it was mandatory that all cars came with some sought of rear defrost in most states.. However the car did come with front disc brakes. These cars were underrated by Pontiac on purpose to help sales but were actually an all day 12 second 1/4 mile car on radials while still being able to handle and perform on the highway that would easily pin it's 160 speedo. Just an awesome and very versatile machine that could run up against any machine back in the day. They were modestly advertised to help sales in an already hurt industry from a strike but yet not to hurt the slower and heavier GTO sales I would think. Supposedly there were around 30 of these vehicles only mixed in with the first 400 Formulas to boost sales (most Formulas if even lucky enough to be an already a rare Ram Air III were mostly Turbo 400's, M-20 wide ratio trans and 10 bolt 3:55 rears and usually have some sought of bought options). These cars being manufactured in an already extremely rare fashion were mostly all destroyed by kids cutting them up, blowing them up or simply destroying them drag racing, because most of your Trans Ams back then were bought by the more caring middle age drivers who could afford the sticker price of one. Also these were only a 6 month production model in 1970. Anyway I met people that had a car like mine back in the 70's but in all the time knowing these cars I am yet to meet another identically ordered like mine still in existance. I do miss her.... She was a true Lucy blue too with the bright blue interior and had an original 44k in miles on her but that was because she sat in a garage since 1982, hence why I was restoring her. She was still on her original Good year F60-15 Polyglass tires when I bought her... lol.

Awesome Pontiac

 

[Lujo68]

Thanks Steven, yeah I was sad to sell her but had no choice. I also like to play with a car and with a car like her anything other then 100% factory stock due to rarity would be blasphemy and would seem like a loss of automotive history. I am just not a collector. I sold her to a cool guy that appreciated her and the originality so I know she is in good hands.

My 1971 Olds 442 W-30.....455 with a close ratio Hurst 4 speed. It will launch at 4500rpms and hooks up nice with ladder bars and air bags in the springs. It turns 3000rpms at 60mph and ends the quarter at 113mph pushing 5300rpms with a tuned 650 Holley Doublepumper with custom heads to W-30 plus a bit spec, Mike.
