A striking tribute to one of NASCAR’s most legendary muscle cars is set to roll across the block on May 3 at the Henderson Collector Motor Series Auction, held at the iconic Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum.
The car in question? A Plymouth Satellite Superbird Clone, built to emulate the unmistakable aerodynamic icon that once ruled the high banks of Daytona. While not a factory-produced Superbird, this faithful recreation captures the spirit of the original in full force — complete with the signature pointed nose cone, towering rear wing, and unmistakable Mopar presence.
Wearing VIN RH23G0G141405, this Superbird clone began life as a 1970 Plymouth Satellite. It has since been transformed with careful attention to the visual and aerodynamic details that made the original Superbird a race-ready legend. Painted in a period-correct high-impact color and adorned with “Plymouth” script on the rear quarter panels, the car exudes vintage muscle from every angle.
Although specifics about the drivetrain and restoration process have not been disclosed, examples of this type often feature period-style V8 powertrains — sometimes 440 or 426 HEMI clones — mated to automatic or four-speed manual transmissions. Enthusiasts will be eager to inspect the car in person during the live auction preview.
The Henderson Collector Motor Series Auction is known for assembling a curated selection of collectible, classic, and enthusiast-grade vehicles. Set within the backdrop of one of the world’s premier motorsports museums, the May 3 event promises to offer both spectacle and serious bidding potential.
