Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

440/375hp Magnum, automatic, power steering, power brakes, bench seat, pushbutton radio, heater, Rallye wheels with center caps and trim rings, Polyglas tires.

Condition

Represented as retained by the original dealer until 1985 and 14,365 miles from new. Good original paint, chrome and interior. A benchmark unrestored Superbird for a restorer or for further preservation. Documented with the original broadcast sheet, window sticker, invoice and bill of sale.

Market commentary

A Hemi or V-code Six Barrel 440 under the hood and a 4-speed behind it would make for a better Superbird, but nothing can detract from this one's originality and that makes up for much of the difference, yet there is little or nothing in this transaction's price that reflects a premium for originality. It is a very good value for a preservation oriented buyer, and has enough miles on it that a few more won't detract from its value.
