I’m glad somebody with the ability and desire to preserve these cars has them

My dad was a travelling salesman in the 60's and 70's and drove strictly Mopar. He put so many miles on that he got a new car every year. One year he drove up in a Superbird. My jaw dropped and I asked (incredulously) if he really got this. Sadly, he didn't. The dealer just let him bring it home for the weekend. But our house was the coolest one on the block for that weekend.

The proper music would have been the sound of that hemi talking...

I'm so happy to see that there is somebody on earth that possesses these two cars and wasn't stupid enough to modify the engines or do anything weird to them and has preserved them as they are
-
This is the video I've always wanted someone to make. Nicely done, can't wait to see more!
-
Differences: all exterior body panels.

When it comes to explaining differences on collector cars, THIS is how all the videos should be done! no BS just facts

I'm 70 years old, I remember back in the day we all laugh at those loads, even Dodge & Plymouth guys did I had a 69Mach1 428cj back then

No doubt Mopar went bonkers with winning and this was the pinnacle of hp style and performance. 1970 best year for American muscle. Mopar ruled. Great video

I remember riding the school bus in 70/71 and they had three of these in the front row of the local dealership. Not sure whether they were Plymouth or Dodge but it seemed like they sat there for a few years before being sold. My dad would always say who the *%ll would buy that when we drove by in our station wagon. 😁😁

The vents over the wheel of the Daytona are functional. It bleeds off wind turbulence out of the wheel well reducing drag at high speeds. Alot of modern super cars actually have this design on their track focused cars. You can tell the Daytona was built by engineers and the Super bird was built by designers. The Daytona is by far the model I'd rather have if I could pick 1.

Folk legend: Richard petty said he wouldn’t drive a super bird unless the wing was 4 inches further forward.

I looked at those and decided they were too long and flashy, insurance was high, bought a 1970 Barracuda AAR 340 for $6800 in 1970. Was tempted to buy a hemi road runner. Wish I had kept it. Those were the days.

Well if I had to choose I'm going with the Daytona. When I was a kid my grandmother lived in Covington Ky and the was a orange Daytona parked down the street from her home I don't think there was a corner on that car that wasn't dented. I always wondered what happened to it I hope someone saved it.

As an old hard case Chevy guy I really appreciate this video. I bought a 1970 super bee in 1971 drove it for 10 years then let it go for a family car. Sure miss it now, most likely never have another one because of the cost. Old Mopars buddy of mine told me one time that Chrysler didn't make cars to slice through the air they just beat it into submission. He was pretty much right. I love the old Mopars.

I was born in '97 and I saw a Plymouth superbird rolling down the interstate a couple months ago in Austin, TX. I've seen plenty of nice cars, Porsche 911's , Lamborghini's, Rolls Royce's, and even Bugatti's; but this car was the one and only Plymouth I've ever seen in my life and I was late to work because I watched it ten miles past my exit and had to loop back. Beautiful car for sure!

Nice vid! The rear end of the Daytona does it for me. Next time, maybe give us a shot of those wing supports in the trunk and you never did show us the rear window "plug".

Having driven my buddy’s Super Bird with a 440 six pack and 4 speed, at high speed, it was practically glued to the road. Hit a bump and the down force slammed you back down. Absolute joy to drive when we would go Porsche hunting on the freeways of San Jose.

Two of my biggest dream cars side by side. Thanks for both the knowledge and giving us such an in-depth and close-up look at such iconic cars!
