My suggestion is to get a hemi engine preferably the mopar heliphant 1000 HP power plant ! So much adaptability with the mopar out of the box kit and potential drivetrain selections will make an amazing Mopar resto mod vehicle. Amazing barn find! 15:04

[@LeeQuesada-CoTGaming]

YES, THIS NEEDS THE HELEPHANT! UPVOTE THIS COMMENT AND MY COMMENT stating the same thing!

[@kristoffermangila]

Oh yeah, a Hellcat Superbird sounds POWERFUL!

[@gungadinn]

Unless you have connections, ALL of the Heliphants are long gone. Last one I looked at was over $60k. The Superbird has a few features that none of the other MOPAR cars of the era had. The rear window is bubbled out not in like the Satilite, Belvadere, of Road Runner had. The lower control arms are off a D100 truck for more length. The wing has braces that go into the trunk and connects to the rear subframe unibody. The front clip on this car alone is worth $15-20K. The rest of the car, whatever the going rate for mild steel at the scrap yard brings. By the time you invest in a unibody restoration, purchasing a rust free Arizona car would be a better fit IMO.

[@gseric4721]

Can't go wrong with a Hemi when it comes to the Superbird.

[@r4raced4doom2]

Why spend the cash on a heliphant for only 1k hp when I hellcat w/ bolt ons can make the same?

[@fotogmike9695]

Definitely a basic 1969 B-body with the Superbird nose and wing added. All Superbirds were hardtops but this car has the B-pillar and pop-out quarter windows. The taillights and rear panel are 1969 items. The VIN will give more details on what this vehicle was on day one, but what really matters is what you want it to be. No matter what you do with it, no purists will criticize you. It will be a great tribute car.

We all know you're going to restomod it. Since it is not a real Superbird I say go for it. Hellephant with a six speed manual. Just needs the little bumps on top of the front fenders and the quarter panel scoops on the sides. The tail lights and rear window are going to be dead give aways that it isn't real but it will still be a fun car.

[@MichaelKelly-eg6jo]

What gives it away is the rear window. As much as I love that compound curve, it's just out of place on a Superbird (or Daytona). They had a more traditional backlight and a plug. I think you're better off just making it a nice Satellite resto-mod and selling off the nose and wing. Keep up the good work.

[@superstockamx9064]

1st clue was no chrome plates on the A pillars. 2nd clue was no scoops on the fenders. VIN would have either a U / V / R as the Super Bird only came with 440, 440-6 or Hemi. You could have bought a decent Satellite with floors, etc., and bought repo front cone and spoiler. You’ll have a fortune in this.

[@auteurfiddler8706]

The fact is is a 69 sedan and not a 70 hard top is evident a mile away. But she said it wasn't real. I think buying it for basically the wing and the nose was worth it. Well, and the fenders. The whole back clip is different from a 69 and a 70. I have had both. Also, a Superbird has a small convex rear window. There is enough stuff out there to convert a 70 Satellite to a 70 Superbird, but starting with a 69 sedan puts you two steps back.

Its not a real Superbird though and is WAY rusted out. I'm a Mopar fan boy and would love to find a cheap Superbee or Superbird, but this one I gotta say, Good luck Emelia. After you replace 75% of the steel, a Helliphant crate motor is my vote for powerplant. It's such a blank canvass, you can make it into anything you want. I'm interested in this build and can't wait to see how it finishes out.

[@a.t1313]

To professionally restore the body alone on that would probably cost close to 100k, I bet she's just going to let it sit around a while then sell it.

[@raybod1775]

It’s not that bad with rust, replacing the floorboards of old cars is standard operating procedure with old cars from the Midwest. The trunk isn’t gone and body panels seem solid except for usual rusted spots. It would probably make more sense to get an old Plymouth in good shape and convert it to a Superbird.

[@2873lonewolf]

@raybod1775 Thats how I feel, get a car in better shape and convert, which is exactly what someone was doing since it's not a Superbee/Superbird originally. It would be a different story if it was a rare Superbee/Superbird.

We got a 1959 GMC pickup and we fixed that thing and spent good quality time together on it. We fixed all the rust, repainted it, replaced the chrome, gave it a flame paint job, took out the old straight six and put in a healthy 327 with Edelbrock intake and carburator, got rid of the 3 on the tree manual shifter and put in a turbo 400 automatic trans with a narrowed Ford 9" rear.

Emilia, as a teenager, when I was 16, I bought a new, Dodge Coronet Super-Bee. It came standard with a 383 cubic inch engine, rated at 335 horsepower. One day, while driving my Super-Bee, I saw a brand new Superbird on a dealer's lot. I stopped into the dealer to ask him what the price of it was, and he said that it costed $10,000. I thought that the price was insane, so I walked out of the dealership, I mean, my Dodge Coronet Super-Bee only cost me $3000, so I couldn't understand why the Superbird would cost that much. As for your recently purchased Superbird, you need to restore it to it''s original form. That mean's installing a 440 cubic inch, magnum engine, or the powerhouse, the 426 cubic inch, Hemi engine.

@mosconi0359. How could she possibly make an exact replica out of it, when it's a different car? The Superbird was a one year only 1970 car. Her car is a 1969 Plymouth Satellite and looks completely different.

[@foxlake6750]

I worked at a Chrysler dealership as a kid and someone ordered the Superbird conversion kit, with the nose and wing. For whatever reason, the guy didn’t pick it up and it sat around for years. We received one Superbird and it sat in the showroom for 2 years, no one wanted it. It sold for $4,500, a $1,000 off MSRP.

[@robertwalker9963]

What a find Amelia! I love the front end of that car! Super cool looking! Can't wait 2C this baby running!😂❤

[@happygarage6310]

That's an awesome find. And being a replica any idea is a good one. You should do an old school build on that, keep a little of the patina, 440 six pack with a shaker hood, old-school 4 speed. Hemi's are cool and all, but you just can't beat a good old big block, IMO.

[@trumbley22]

Not even a replica/clone/re-creation. It's a 69 Satellite with a wing and nose. The tail is all wrong for starters.

[@speedyg2577]

440 six pack was Dodge, 440 six barrel is Plymouth. Superbirds were 1970 only like @trumbley22 says it's a 69 Satellite. She got taken again with so called Superturd, Hope she didn't overpay for this one like the shitboxes Dean sold her.

[@trumbley22]

@@speedyg2577 Oh man, it should be called the superturd. You nailed it. People see a big wing and a pointy nose and think it's something incredible and ignore the rest of the car. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought those values for the kit cars were ridiculous. Everyone in the comments thought Dean was some kind of a hero, he didn't impress me any.

My neighbor Frank worked at a Dealership. He would drive home some incredible cars. One was an orange Roadrunner about 1970. I remember seeing the car up close, but so long ago, got brain fog. I was into Stock Cars at a younger age, but moved interest into Dragsters, Funny Cars, then Trans Am series, and Can Am. Only competed at SCCA auto-cross.

Instead of worrying with all your registrations, have you ever thought about getting your dealers license and just get a couple of dealer tags? And as far as the car goes, please keep it all original all Mopar!

Do a Hellcat build for sure!!! What a cool restomod that would be. SRT Suspension with an old school interior. On the surface it looks like it came from the 70's and underneath it has all the modern drive train of the Hellcat beast!!! What a cool project!!!

[@capicolaspicy]

Even though it's a cobbled Bird lol, would love to see a MOPAR powerplant in it! Worked with faraday cages for many years, they are used to shield sensitive electronics like radio receivers from the ambient signals floating around everywhere so we can measure the sensitivity and noise rejection capabilities. Same thing with transmitters we can broadcast signals measure for proper quality and not be blasting stuff out into the universe or having circuits within the transmitter be affected by higher ambient noise signals. It's not where you would typically build anything. Spent 10 years as a technician and technical services manager at a seven city 911 emergency dispatch center down in Hawthorne California. Then growing up back in Connecticut the rich boy son of the supervisor of a complex I lived in got the first or one of the very first Super Birds delivered in our town. I would die to have one of those LOL! I am so freaking jealous right now lol! Huge Congrats Emelia!

[@gj4093]

To me this is a classic pile of rust. I would pick the couple parts and get rid of the rest. It went from super bird to super terd (Satellite).

[@funny0000000]

Besides me, you are the only sane person here. She will be upside down missing with that and it will tarnish the name "superbird" because it will be a fake clone with all the wrong parts, wrong year, and wrong model. There are WAY better clones she could have bought. This one is junk.

[@auteurfiddler8706]

I agree that this car makes for a terrible Superbird. But I think it would make for an interesting 69 Road Runner or better yet a 69 GTX (change to a hard top). The body is way better than most in terms of rust other than the floors and there is no sign of it being bent. I don't think it is junk at all. She really needs another parts car or two to make two good cars.

[@gj4093]

I would be in search of another car to put the wing and nose on and ditch the rest. We will be watching to see what happens.

Can’t wait to see what you do with the bird!

[@rmmccoy51]

Well, just because it didn't come from the factory as a Superbird doesn't mean that it can't go forward as one! I suggest that you make it a period piece. Put a MOPAR 440 or 426 hemi in her. Maybe you could make her a show car?

[@Vetteman372]

I think you need to turn around and run from this still It's going to cost you about the same as one that's not rusted up by the time you finish it.

[@jesters08joker]

I enjoy her content and all she does, as long as she can afford it all more power to her. But for once I'd like to see an automotive KZbinr finish projects fully before getting another one. Plus she's still looking for a new shop isn't she?

[@auteurfiddler8706]

She took it to the body shop to have floors put in. She seems to have an unlimited budget.

[@MrNota500]

I agree, that's what the guy that sold it to her did. He punted it once he realized its going to cost way more than it will ever be worth. Who even knows what a 69 Satebird is worth. It's one of one but in no way desirable or valuable.

[@RileyRod.548]

[@ericschaffer4558]

Oh man since its not a real one its good for a resto mod project. Paint it plum crazy purple. Black wing with daytona logo. Lower it a bit. Hellcat motor. Clean interior with bucket seats. Digial dash and a roll cage. Period correct wheels or some chromes to go with the purple. 🔥

[@trackstarflash]

Emelia this is amazing! My two cents..... Definitely have the Outside look like race replica, hands down, best idea!! But Resto-mod.. fully updated interior, with creature comforts.. Either a compound turbo Hellcat engine or an updated Tech Hemi with twin screw Supercharger... And obviously that exhaust needs a roar.

[@donaldgavigan9376]

With it being a clone. You don't have to worry about anything you doing anything to it's value. It's technically a blank slate. Get ready to have fun.

I grew up around Plymouth fury's and dodge aspens. But our best and my favorite was a 1965 dodge pickup with a slant 6 not fast but it was reliable we flipped the odometer 3 times before it was falling apart body wise.

Just the replacement floor pans, assuming the VIN's right to tell you what it is, will cost a fortune. But, if you have a dumpster full of money it can be brought back but, it will always ever be a clone and never worth what a super bird is. Looks like a Joe Dirt mobile. I've got a real Super bird I've owned since '72 I bought out of a junk yard. It had been run into something and the front clip was roached. I was told the frame was bent but hanger gauges told me it wasn't, so I replaced the front clip new from mopar. It has 54,000 miles on the clock, 440 6 pack, 4 speed and my daughter will get it when I'm gone because she is absolutely in love with it and has been since I got it when she was 4 years old. It's sublime green.

[@matthewlangowski6398]

Mopars 101. 69' Daytona is based off the 2nd gen Charger. 70' Superbird based off Road Runner. You can make whatever you want ...but the front clip is worth more than the car. Pretty cool! Good luck...

[@Archer369]

In my psychic mopar mind i see the SuperBird as follows: 440 6 pack with a hot 509 mopar purple shaft cam with B1 heads, old school 4 speed pistol grip with Kevlar clutch. Congratulations Emelia !! Mopar hot rodding is fun as long as you go big block old school...😅❤ ✌

[@anthonymayes1340]

Definitely a Plymouth Satellite the angled tail lights and the line on the quarter panel gives that away does Super Bee and the Daytona both have flat tail light panels. But still a cool find and going to be a badass build

[@marcothehammer]

You must at least consider a vinyl top. IDK if it was even available on the Superbird, optional or not, but this is why vinyl tops became popular in that era. It was a big deal back in the day and it did in fact let the cars go through the air easier. Anything aerospace, or even close to it was always an attention getter.

[@jonathanchristian1697]

That car looks really rough I think you should find a 70 road runner and put the nose and wing on that

[@eddiethedodgeman6758]

Put a 426 Hellaphant engine in it with a Dana 60. The 2 front fender vents are missing. Don't even contaminate that MOPAR with a found on road dead engine. The 426 Hellaphant is literally a plug and drive engine. Coronet front fenders. The 426 Hemi is a way better engine than any other engine built. Sublime and black is awesome. Mark Worman of Graveyard Cars did a beautiful Hellbird. Hes done a few restorations on SuperBirds and Dodge Daytona. I would call him for info

[@rajahkossuth]

Hey new to the channel, saw the Superbird icon pop up in my feed. Watched it. I think, since the buddy you bought it off of, told the story about Richard Petty, you should paint the Superbird as a Richard Petty racecar with his number 43 on the doors!

As a Mopar nut, I'm also a realist. This poor car is going to need EVERYTHING. While I know you aren't afraid of the work, its going to be allot of it.
