Plymouth Superbird

The Plymouth Superbird has been created for the sole reason of winning the NASCAR US stock car racing series. Plymouth Superbird was a modified Plymouth Road Runner which exemplified the aerodynamics of a brick and higher racing speeds. The Superbird sported an additional nineteen inches to its length, retractable headlights, slightly smoothed body, high speed, and a rear wing mounted high on the tall tailfins. Basically been made for racing, Plymouth Superbird is fitted with the 426 Hemi engine to be able to outskirt all of its contenders.

Behind the production of the Superbird is the story to get back Richard Petty to come back and drive for Plymouth. As one of the greatest race car drivers of Plymouth, Richard Petty asked for something comparable to Dodge Daytona but Dodge and Plymouth were separate divisions and the latter did not have a wing car at that time. This angered him and quitted driving a Plymouth for the entire year but instead drove a Ford. Due to Plymouth's willingness to bag an award at the NASCAR race, Chrysler wove things together and was able to create the Superbird.

The Plymouth Superbird literally did well on the race tracks against its strong opposition, the Ford. Thus, Plymouth garnered awards in eight races and of course Richard Petty was behind a Superbird that year. Unfortunately, NASCAR banned all aerodynamic speedsters in the year 1971 and one of which was the Superbird. For the NASCAR officials, these cars were all dangerously playing at high speeds and did not look like "stock cars" and therefore the production of Plymouth Superbird halted.
