I almost bought a bright yellow Plymouth Superbee 383 in the summer of ‘69...but decided to join the Army instead (with encouragement from my draft board).

Came home from overseas and my brother took me to a race in Rockingham. Richard Petty won driving a 67 Plymouth Roadrunner, color, Petty blue. Had to have one, so I bought the car. A couple years later, wife told me she was tired of being the first one off at the stoplight and made me trade it. I did so love that car.

A friend of mine went for a ride in one when he was in high school. He confirmed the $10 bill on the dash rumor. His wife heard the story for the first time when he told me they topped out at 190 mph.

The two small scoops or nacelles on the front fenders are non-functional, the only purpose they served was to increase wheel clearance for NASCAR. Despite being very similar in appearance, the Plymouth Superbird and the Dodge Charger Daytona 500 required very different execution. Neither the nose cone nor the wing is interchangeable. The Dodge is the rarer of the two, only 500 or so produced vs. around 1,900 for the Plymouth, and there was much more leeway in ordering the Dodge new, as far as engine, interior and wheels. All the Superbirds have a vinyl top. Very few Daytonas did, it was available as a dealer installed option. They sprayed them on.
