There are very, very, few original rare muscle cars that I would care about owning. A COPO 9561 or 9560 1969 Camaro would be awesome, but I’m still totally good with a clone. I’m not likely to want something totally stock anyway, so why not just build something that feels like it but that I don’t have to worry about and couldn’t afford anyway? But there are obviously lots of folks out there that care about how rare or special their car is/was originally. Steve Magnante is an expert on original, and is like the Rain Man of car facts. I love him for it, and he’s been this way for decades, so when he throws up a video about a Plymouth Superbird and is going to tell us whether this thing is the real deal or a clone, I’m listening.
I’m a Chevrolet guy, but anyone that doesn’t like a winged Mopar is a weirdo in my book. I like a Road Runner anyway, but a Superbird is something special. These cars are cool as hell, have amazing history, and I’ve had the privilege of being around quite a few of them.
Check out the video and let us know what you think.
Put me down in the weirdo book I guess. I am old enough to remember when the wing cars were in dealer showrooms. Dealers couldn’t sell the cars back then and in my book nothing has changed. They were fugly pos’s then and are still fugly pos’s.
