Originally shipped to Fred Hawkins Chrysler-Plymouth in Cornelia, Georgia, this 1970 Plymouth Superbird was first sold on September 19, 1970. Now finished in Lemon Twist, the color swap happened sometime during its years in dealer storage after being voluntarily surrendered to a bank in 1975. That same dealer held onto the car until 1982, when it was sold again with only 22,832 miles. It still wears its black vinyl top, carries its factory Superbird aero hardware, and rolls on correct 15" wheels wrapped in 235/60R15 Cooper tires. The overall presentation stays loyal to what made this winged warrior a legend.
When the car passed into the hands of a Connecticut owner in 1987, it stayed with him until his passing in 2023. During that time, it was garage-kept and taken out only occasionally for short drives and cleaning. Inside, the black vinyl interior appears stock and correct throughout, from the bench seat and column shifter to the original AM radio, gauges, and steering wheel. Even the dash-mounted ventilation controls and lap/shoulder belts remain intact. Every component inside reflects an honest and consistent lineage from its early years, right down to the factory headliner and carpeting.
The numbers-matching 440 Super Commando V8 still resides under the hood, showing a partial VIN stamp just above the oil pan. Power runs through a 3-speed A727 Torqueflite automatic transmission. The car retains its original exhaust manifolds, dual exhaust system with updated mufflers, and factory suspension layout. Front torsion bars with a sway bar and rear leaf springs keep the stance correct, while power steering and power front disc brakes help manage it all. During the Connecticut ownership, the car saw regular upkeep, including a newer gas tank.
