Dad's favorite car was the Superbird...
He used to tell us all about them when we were kids... How they dominated NASCAR and couldn't be beat... He called them "Wing Things"....
When we lived in Omaha for a couple years, there was an orange Superbird that we used to see on the way to the health club... We would pass it and look at it sitting in the driveway of the house from the street... Then one day it disappeared...
Then we moved back to Chicago and started our Mopar hobby... We first got a 71 challenger convertible for a family project that has yet to be finished...
Then we found the Superbird and dad bought it... He refused to sell it and whenever anybody asked if it was for sale, he told them that it's in his will and not for sale... Ironically ours is the same orange as the one we used to admire on the way to the health club in Omaha...
We took it to the first Mopar Nats and got to take it around the NASCAR oval track at the Chrysler Proving Grounds in Chelsea, MI and got it to 150 MPH on the back stretch... My brother was 15 years old at the time driving on his permit... LOL!!!
Even at 150 MPH, there was still more pedal to go before it was fully floored... It has an 8 3/4" 3.23 axle...
