I used to see this particular car sit in the dealership showroom in my town when it was brand new, St. Augustine, FL, as kid growing up. The story went it was sold, and the buyer didn't like it, and traded it in on something else. The owner of the dealership kept it in the showroom for over 20 years. When he sold the dealership, he kept the Superbird and put it in a warehouse right next to my shop. I used to go over and look at it from time to time. He would not sell it. He eventually passed away, and his family held an estate sale auction. If memory serves it sold for $85,000 to a childhood friend of my brother. He got it running, and sold it sometime later for somewhere around $145,000. I can't remember exactly what year that was, somewhere around 2005 I think.

I got the privilege of seeing one of these cars up close back about 40 years ago. Car was only 13 years old back then. At night, the bright yellow paint and rich black vinyl top shined beautifully under the street lights. The car looked like it was brand new. It was a 440 with automatic transmission floor shifter. Someone sat up on top of the wing. IT did NOT bend. Made out of steel. MADE IN USA! That's American muscle for ya. Go Mopar.

[@rickbailey189]

I got to see a 70 S.B. in 1983 up close. It was Lemon Twist(deep yellow) with a strikingly rich black vinyl top. Gorgeous car with a 440 and auto on the floor shifter. Someone that night decided to plop their ass on top of the center of the wing. It did NOT bend much less break. It was gorgeous black vinyl or leather interior. As a kid in those days you were impressed to see something like that. It was a rare sighting for me. Total unit production of 1970 Plymouth Super birds was 1935. You're seeing just 1 of 77 with 426 HEMI option.

[@The.Rooster]

@@rickbailey189 Plymouth themselves never cared about actually selling these cars, the only reason they were sold at all to the public was because NASCAR regulations had a rule that stated a car can only be raced in NASCAR if it sells a certain amount of that variant to the general public, which I think by 1970 the regulations were 2 for every 1 Plymouth dealership. I could be wrong though, but prior to the Bird you had the Dodge Daytona which had to sell 500 production models in 1969

[@rickbailey189]

@@The.Rooster Correct. 1935 Super Birds were produced and 503 Dodge Daytona's. Both were "1 year wonders." FORD and CHRYSLER Motors were duking it out like two heavyweight boxers out on the racing circuit. These 2 variations of the WING CAR were produced so that they could attain that "magic 200 MPH". I believe it was BIll France(NASCAR God father) was the one who imposed those rules. I believe it was 1 Super BIrd for every 2 Plymouth dealerships, hence 3870...give or take. The wing cars were laughable at the time an nobody really wanted them so many just sat a dealerships for several years. Today, they're worth a mint(fortune). Most especially the HEMI versions.

[@michaeldavidfigures9842]

The little cowls on either side of the hood were meant to conceal a ventilation system which created vacuum pressure which created a downdraft pulling the car closer to the track making it even more aerodynamic. Interestingly the Superbirds never received the venting. The cowls were really just for show. Daytonas have the vent system and if you look under the cowls, you can se a pattern of holes drilled through the body to facillitate the air to flow. Seems kinda low tech, but it works. If you've ever been in a Daytona when you get up to around 80 mph you can actually feel the car being pulled down closer to the road deck.

205+ mph.

I see Steve M. doing his junkyard crawl at the Barrett Jackson auction.

[@skatedd2451]

Wow that's expensive

[@richardgentry6996]

Maybe I can afford the Die cast version. Damn

[@rickbailey189]

Now you're thinking.

[@williameichner7177]

It may be all that but it's still an automatic.

[@iveyx001]

downright shame it's an automatic!!!

[@johnsheetz6639]

Column shifter too. I guess that's what makes it rare not my cup of tea though.

[@hugopulido9446]

Something is wrong. He said "million five" ($1,005,000)which is not one million and a half ($1,500,000).

[@rossbrumby1957]

A million five should be $1,000,005 if you wanna be nitpicky.

[@rickbailey189]

At that level of pricing Hugo the bids go 50 grand on up.

[@rberry1964]

love the cars but the prices are stupid.

[@jimdenning5301]

500k jump on 1 bid. He wanted that

[@scatpack68]

The buyer must have invested in oil right after the 2020 election results.

[@kcbroncohater]

He wouldn't have much to spend then. In 2020 they lost billions because of poor sales durning the lockdown.

You should have said the CEO of Moderna, he got a 300 miilion dollar bonus for the massive sales for one year.

Lol. This guy up his bid by 400K and I'm trying to buy a house for 260K in payment for 30 years! Wonder how long it took him to get to that level.

I will say my uncle has watched or will watch this video!! He will die with his!! Just protecting it!!

[@graeme8800]

The price of some of these cars is way out of wack. The rich have driven the price of some mopars out of reach for most people. These numbers are unrealistic and the reason many people stay away them. No car is always better than mopar.

[@elmerfudd1086]

I get that they are rare and historically significant but they didn't sell because they were ugly. 50 plus years haven't changed that . Most superbirds sell for under 250 thousand. This was just some rich guy who wanted that particular car, it doesn't affect the selling prices for the average sb's

[@tsnaha]

For a dodge....lol

[@intuitive7274]

NOTHING LIKE CHRYSLER POWER HEMI NOTHING. no car ever has been then nor now

[@GNXperimental]

Not sure why he would overbid unless he's or works for a billionaire

[@charlie6629]

I knew as a young child they would be worth some big cash on down the road. Problem being they would fit in a normal garage so where the heck are you going to keep it. I certainly wouldn't drive it for the future rising of value. They are pretty darn ugly. My neighbor had one and he parked in the back yard and covered his up. He never drove his either.

[@rickbailey189]

Could be worth more than his house now. If it has less than 10k miles on it it could be worth over a million.

My brother and I pushed one of these off a cliff cause we couldn't give it away 😂 so he smashed it with the backhoe and push it off a cliff into the pile below . lol

Well weren't you clever! And here you are admitting you did that. That's why you don't waste things.

[@dowen1511]

Could not give it away for free back in 1980 gas just hit a dollar for first time .lol. Delarships were giving pepole 300 bucks for these trade in on a new pinto 😂 and it had to be like new cond if it was well used 50 bucks at the scrap yard for a car then. Can't even count the amount of ss396 chevelle we scraped back then.lots challengers cudas roadrunners a few gtx converts with hemi in them I remember. We pulled the engine and race car builders would buy them for 100-200 bucks . lol and that is all they were worth too.

Gas is so expensive that it’s cheaper to buy cocaine and run everywhere and people are paying a million and a half for silliest looking muscle car ever 🤣

[@michaelhood1291]

These are rare and cool but I’d never want to own one. Everyone just puts them on trailers and shows them off. No one seems to drive them anymore. And there’s no way on Gods green earth I’m ever spending over $100,000 to let a car just sit. Let alone $1.5 milly.

[@kcbroncohater]

automatic ? Boooooooo.

Most Americans can't drive manuals anyway, just the proper gearheads- which you don't need to be to afford that car.
