guitarkid Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 super birds are cool cars, even down to how they came to be around is pretty neat. Good luck finding one that is run down as most are either too far gone or stored up in a collection it seems. -gk Quote
Super User tomustang Posted January 26, 2014 Super User Posted January 26, 2014 I don't think there is a cooler car on the planet. 427 s\c Daytona Coupe Ferrari 250 GTO 1 Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted January 26, 2014 Author Super User Posted January 26, 2014 427 s\c Daytona Coupe Ferrari 250 GTO Cool cars indeed. However... 427 s/c ~ $5,000,000 Daytona couple ~ $1,000,000 Ferrari 250 GTO ~ $30,000,000 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted January 26, 2014 Super User Posted January 26, 2014 Never said anything about price Some of dodge's went for 3 mil, 71 hemi cuda comes to mind Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted January 26, 2014 Super User Posted January 26, 2014 One of my dad's friends has a 70 Road Runner. I personally like them better even though they aren't worth 1/2 as much Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted January 26, 2014 Author Super User Posted January 26, 2014 Roadrunner's are fantastic cars as well. 1970 was the pinnacle year for American muscle in my opinion. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T was a fantastic car. You're right, I never said anything about price. Those cars are indeed pretty awesome. I can't imagine driving around in a car worth 7+ figures. Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted January 26, 2014 Super User Posted January 26, 2014 I agree, a beautiful car that is instantly recognizable. I don't see myself ever owning anything close to that but i do see a well restored Jeep wagoneer in my future at some point....like one of these only about 10 years older http://www.wagonmaster.com/1659/1659gw.htm 3 Quote

Super User retiredbosn Posted January 27, 2014 Super User Posted January 27, 2014 I actually know where one is, nobody has ever been able to buy it; the guy is content to watch it rust away. Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted January 27, 2014 Super User Posted January 27, 2014 There is a guy down the street from my parents, and where i grew up, that had a bad a$$ nova, fully restored etc....unfortunately it has jsut sat and sat and has pretty much rotted away. When i was there over Christmas i took a look at it and offered to buy it for cheap but he had an unrealistic value in his head....so i guess it rots.....sad Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I don't think there is a cooler car on the planet. Would love to find an unrestored model and bring it back to life. probably my all time favorite car. i actually never seen one going down the road until about 2-3 years ago. it was awesome to see. gave the guy a big thumbs up and he nodded back...

Super User J Francho Posted January 27, 2014 Super User Posted January 27, 2014 If we're talking Mopar, the Super Bird is hard to beat. It simply has a cool factor that always grabs attention. My personal favorite Plymouth from this era is the '69 GTX, the "gentleman's muscle car" 1 Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted January 27, 2014 Author Super User Posted January 27, 2014 There is a guy down the street from my parents, and where i grew up, that had a bad **** nova, fully restored etc....unfortunately it has jsut sat and sat and has pretty much rotted away. When i was there over Christmas i took a look at it and offered to buy it for cheap but he had an unrealistic value in his head....so i guess it rots.....sad That's the biggest problem with buying a car of this nature. The seller usually has an unrealistic price for it that negates the possibility for a deal. If we're talking Mopar, the Super Bird is hard to beat. It simply has a cool factor that always grabs attention. My personal favorite Plymouth from this era is the '69 GTX, the "gentleman's muscle car" There's currently a '67 GTX for sale on Ebay. A true barn find. Unrestored, all original, looks like it just rolled out of the factory. I love stories like this! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plymouth-GTX-BELVEDERE-I-POST-CAR-1967-plymouth-belvedere-i-hemi-post-car-4-speed-/271380772141?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3f2f8df52d&item=271380772141&pt=US_Cars_Trucks Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 27, 2014 Super User Posted January 27, 2014 Too "Belvedere-ie" for me. Cool piece of history, though. There was a true numbers matching 69 hemi rotting in a lot next to work that tortured me for years. I believe it was eventually snapped up by a restorer. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted January 27, 2014 Author Super User Posted January 27, 2014 Well. Someday I hope to find a barn find Superbird. A guy can dream, right? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 27, 2014 Super User Posted January 27, 2014 I actually know where one is sitting in a barn, in very good condition....it's not for sale, though. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted January 27, 2014 Author Super User Posted January 27, 2014 you're killing me Francho... Quote

Super User slonezp Posted January 27, 2014 Super User Posted January 27, 2014 This, or should I say these were the barn find of the century http://www.underthehoodshow.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=results/category_id=208/home_id=208/mode=cat/cat208.htm Quote
