LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1970 Plymouth Superbird
Among the most legendary muscle cars of the golden era, the 1970 Plymouth Superbird stands at the pinnacle of collectibility. Created to dominate NASCAR, its iconic aerodynamic nose cone and towering rear wing gave it instant recognition and a place in automotive history. Today, it remains one of the most sought-after Mopars ever built.
This particular Superbird is a remarkable survivor, showing just 21,000 miles from new. Unlike most examples that have undergone restoration, this car remains highly original, preserving its factory finishes, trim, and patina. Such authenticity makes it a true time capsule from the peak of Detroit performance. With complete ownership history dating back to its original owner, this beautiful Superbird has been cared for by some very astute collectors and even written about in various Mopar publications. The underside of this survivor example could be used by restorers as a guide showing the original painted floors with factory undercoating in the wheel wells and various overspray showing the assembly line methods. There's even original tags and markings still visible which shows the level of preservation achieved on this special Mopar
Under the hood, it retains its numbers-matching 440 cubic inch Six Pack, a highly desirable powerplant with three two-barrel carburetors that delivered both brute force and flexibility. Even more rare, this car was factory-equipped with the Hurst-shifted four-speed manual transmission, offering a visceral connection between driver and machine. Of the 1,935 Superbirds produced in 1970, just 716 were ordered with the 440 Six Pack engine, and only 308 of those were fitted with the four-speed manual, placing this car among the rarest combinations ever offered.
The interior remains beautifully preserved, with its original black vinyl bucket seats, factory gauge cluster, Am radio and pistol-grip shifter all intact. Outside, the car still wears its factory bodywork and finishes, retaining the authenticity and presence that restorations simply cannot duplicate. To further enhance its desirability, this Superbird comes documented with its Broadcast Sheet and owner’s manual and has been featured in numerous articles as a reference example, underlining its importance and status among enthusiasts and historians alike.
With its low mileage, unrestored condition, rare drivetrain combination, and strong documentation, this Superbird represents an exceptionally scarce opportunity for collectors. Survivor cars of this caliber rarely surface, making this example one of the most desirable and historically significant 1970 Plymouth Superbirds in existence.
