Few muscle cars generate as much excitement as a genuine Plymouth Superbird, and this 1970 example listed on eBay has a story that’s anything but ordinary. Rather than presenting it as a finished showpiece, the seller is upfront about what it is: a running and driving project with matching-numbers 440 Six Pack power, a clean title, and a documented salvage history. It’s the kind of listing that invites buyers to read every word before deciding whether this legendary Mopar is the right fit.
According to the seller, the Superbird retains its matching-numbers 440 Six Pack engine along with its original rear differential, and they believe the transmission is original as well. The car is equipped with an automatic transmission, and the seller says the engine runs well while the transmission shifts and pulls as it should. They also note that they’ve driven the car on several short trips without issues but add that it still needs to be finished before being used regularly.
Rather than restoring the car to factory appearance, the seller says they intentionally gave it a patina-inspired NASCAR look. Under the skin, a few updates have been made to improve drivability, including a FiTech EFI 3×2 fuel injection system and four-wheel disc brakes. For someone who likes driving their classics, those upgrades may be appealing, while others may choose to return the car to a more original configuration.
One of the more interesting parts of the listing is how transparent the seller is about the car’s history. They explain that the Superbird was purchased years ago with fire damage and paperwork that amounted to a bill of sale or non-repairable documentation. After owning it for more than five years, they were able to obtain a clean Kentucky title. The seller also explains that much of the original body was in rough condition, so they sourced a 1970 Plymouth donor car from Texas and used much of that body during the build. Both titles will accompany the sale.
The listing also mentions that numerous original Superbird components are included. According to the seller, the original steel nose is included but is rough, while the car currently wears a fiberglass nose. It also has fiberglass hood and wing components, while the original steel fenders are included but described as rough. The steel rear window plug is present but has not been installed, and the seller notes they do not have a rear window. Boxes and pallets of additional parts—including the rear seat frame, trim, door glass, quarter glass, and other components—are also part of the package.
The original fender tag has been preserved separately, and the seller says it is stored in oil inside a zip-top bag. A reproduction tag is currently installed on the car, and a replacement VIN door decal is included as well. This isn’t a turnkey Superbird, and the seller doesn’t pretend that it is. Instead, it appears to be aimed at someone who appreciates honesty, understands the car’s history, and wants a genuine Superbird with plenty of included parts to continue the project. Whether the next owner continues the patina look or heads toward a full restoration is a decision left entirely up to them.
