It’s a 1970 Plymouth Superbird that could be would be worth $250,000 or more if it were in great shape, which it very much isn’t.
The rusted-out Nascar special gained attention on BarnFinds.com due to its rarity.
It’s one of about 300 that were equipped with a 440 six-barrel V8 and a four-speed manual transmission.
The seller says that the engine shows 48,000 miles and is original, but had the factory carburetor setup replaced with a dual quad unit at some point.
The ‘Bird’s B-5 blue paint and white interior combination make it even more uncommon, but the fact that its body is sketchy, it needs new floorpans and its signature nosecone is sitting across the yard from the rest of the car isn’t doing it any favors.
Knowing its potential value, the Massachusetts-based seller is asking an optimistic, yet arguably reasonable $70,000 firm to anyone up to the challenge of making it fly again.

Some dealers were removing the nose cones and spoilers and reverting them back to regular Roadrunners because of poor sales.
$40k would do it.
Everytime I see his name I think of ERTL!!!!! Probably due to his automotive posts :)
“if people back then only knew what their muscles cars would be worth in later years- “
Yes, I wasn’t thinking very far out when I purchased my 1963 Silver Blue, Corvette Stingray Coupe from the original owner in 1964. But I still have it today, it’s been garaged all of its life, and has only 70,000 miles showing on the odometer.

Sketchy? Who’s writing this stuff the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom?
My brother had a 1968 Road Runner, blue, 383 engine with 8 track player.
What a beauty- wished he would have kept it.
Ha! I thought so! And you’re the kind of car-guy who’d remember it, too. Wow, those two machines are in fantastic shape by comparison!
Hang on! Is that the same blue car with the Plymouth decal in Post 22?
I seriously doubt it. The large decal was probably an option.
The wing is still there.Its just melted over the rear bumper as they were aluminum.
You can bet its being rebuilt.
Mee-meep! ZIP-BANG!
That lime green Roadrunner is beautiful.
70k would take care of all the pet projects I have in pieces.
I have done a lot of fixing and preservation myself. However I don’t have a shop with a lift and some help. Hence the slow go.
Think I saw that thing on American Pickers. The owner wouldn’t sell it.
My dad professionally restored high-end cars. He always said that you can fix bashed up and beaten panels but rust was always with you.
I can relate, I am restoring my 67 GTO that I have owned for over 30 years. I don’t have the space for a lift unless I raise the shop roof.
