Any luck there, Capt. Ahab or is it Aham

 

[bigmanjbmopar]

[Budnicks]

Superbird vert. clone

Yea I have never seen one & would like to see one for sure... there is a clone of a Superbird by one of the moderators here Stuart....

 

[Budnicks]

No lol but I think it would be cool to know who has it and see some pics.......Museum?

Yea maybe at the Chrysler Museum or somewhere like that... I wonder were it is ??.. or if it's still alive ??...

 

[bigmanjbmopar]

first beers on me who ever finds it

 

[Budnicks]

Here are some fun facts I found I'm not sure how correct any of them are, I couldn't get crap from the Chrysler Historical site & it locked up my computer, had to restart & run a scan... there is a site that had the 40 or 50 most rare production factory built cars #1 was a 67 RT Convert. w/426ci Hemi w/only 2 made 1 manual & 1 auto & #2 70 RT Convert. w/426ci Hemi only 2 made & #3 70 RR Convert. w/426ci Hemi only 3 1 manual trans & 2 Auto trans, ever made of the 834 total 1970 RR convertibles sold & #7 was the 71 Hemi 'cuda Convert. w/426ci Hemi option, only 7 ever made in total, w/5 Manual trans & w/2 Auto trans... try this site it seemed to have a good break down... www.classicmusclecars.com/musclecars/general/musclecars-rarest.php

 

[Budnicks]

wikipedia said 3 1970 RR's Convert. w/426ci Hemi also...

 

[Ron 73]

Be cool to own one, i don't think hunting one like Ahab a good idea, we know what happened to him

The lone 70 Hemi Coronet RT convertible with the 4-speed option was still around as of the mid-1990s. That car was made for export to Europe and ended up as a burned out shell in a junkyard in Canada. A collector from the Washington DC area found it, brought it back to the US and restored it.

We saw it on display at a Mid-Atlantic Mopars meet back in the mid-1990s.

 

[Ron 73]

That would be nice to see, thats a true enthusiast bring a burnt out shell back to life and putting it in a museum.. I cant imagine the time or money involved but thumbs up to the guy. Good story.

It may be the most prized. In '98 I stumbled upon a 71 Barracuda when I was trying to find a 71-74 Roadrunner/satellite ( preferably 72). At any rate I bought the 71 thinking wow I have a 71 Barracuda. I have never had the passion for the car. I have a painted car just needing reassembly still sitting in my shop. I found a 73 satellite in Arizona and had it shipped in. It is all original in very nice shape. I find myself thinking about all sorts of upgrades for it while the supposed "desire able" car sits.

The 4spd car burnt to the ground a couple years ago. Here are a couple of pics I have of one of the automatics.

WHAT WHAT!!! how do you know this?

 

[jaws]

It was in the Mopar mags about 5-6 years ago. Guy was fixing some wireing under the hood, shoted something out and it burned down.

 

[bigmanjbmopar]

Which mags I'll look it up, find the guy and have few choice words with him, you just dont burn down a 1 of 1 anything!

 

[snakeoil24]

The Hemi Cuda rag top is the most valuable Mopar. It is more valuable then a Hemi Bird.
