A gorgeously kept 1970 Plymouth Superbird—owned by the same person for decades, barely clocking 60,000 miles—is about to hit the auction scene, giving gearheads a shot at one of the wildest, most eye-catching muscle cars ever made. Drenched in blinding Lemon Twist paint with a slick Black interior and matching vinyl roof, this beast hasn’t strayed far from how it rolled off the assembly line.
Under that long, aggressive hood? Pure vintage thunder: the OG 440 Six-Pack V-8, cranking out 390 horsepower like it’s still 1970. Mated to a four-speed manual and that legendary Hurst pistol-grip shifter, this thing screams “race-bred.” Toss in a 3.54 Dana Sure Grip rear end, and you’ve got a ride that claws pavement like it was born to—classic Chrysler muscle at its meanest.
Slide inside, and you’re greeted by bucket seats, a center console, and a woodgrain wheel that just feels right. Power steering and brakes? Yep, they’re here too, blending raw speed with the kind of road manners that made the Superbird more than just a track monster.
What sets this one apart? One owner. California kept. A mere 58,169 miles on the clock. When a car’s history is this clean, every detail correct, collectors lose their minds.
Aerodynamic, outrageous, and dripping with factory-issued attitude, the Superbird has always been king to Mopar fanatics. But this Lemon Twist stunner? With its untouched drivetrain and decades of love? That’s next-level. As the gavel looms, bet on bidders tripping over themselves for a piece of winged history that hasn’t lost its edge.
