Produktbeschreibung
The amazing and now-rare 1970 Plymouth Superbird has come to represent the pinnacle of American performance excess of the muscle car era. With a towering rear spoiler and streamlined front end, the appearance of these cars was unmistakable, and they matched that look with power: 440 Super Commando, 440 Six Pack, and 426 Hemi. Created solely because of rules requirements for racing, just 1,935 street examples were built for only three short months in late 1969. These cars competed on the Grand National circuit for a single season before being ruled out of NASCAR. In this book, the author discusses the background and reasons for the Superbird's arrival, provides a detailed analysis of their construction, recounts their glory days in all forms of racing, shows the options that were and were not available, and tells how they fare in today's intense collector market. Whether you are an owner, potential buyer, restorer, or enthusiast of this era, you will find startling new insight in a never-before-compiled format. Join us for a dish of hot wings, served up just right! Each volume in the In Detail Series provides an introduction and historical overview, an explanation of the design and concepts involved in creating the car, a look at marketing and promotion, an in-depth study of all hardware and available options, and an examination of where the car is on the market today. Also included are paint and option codes, VIN and build-tag decoders, as well as production numbers.
