Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

440/390hp Six Barrel now with a 426/425hp Hemi, automatic converted to a 4-speed, Hurst pistol grip shifter, underdash engine gauges, power brakes, Rally wheels, trim rings, Wide Oval tires, pushbutton radio.

Condition

Sound older paint applied to a partially assembled body with several masking holidays. Prep flaws and fisheyes here and there, chips on the painted hood hinges. Crazing black paint on the nose. Sound, aged interior. Aged engine compartment.

Market commentary

Converting a perfectly good 440/390 Six Barrel Superbird to a Hemi was a total waste of time, effort, money and a period Hemi that could have been productively employed to replace one blown to smithereens on some drag strip. On top of that the condition is tacky, about as tacky as the Hemi substitution. It was offered here in 1998 in essentially the same condition when it was a $31,000 no-sale. It should have been on its way to a new home today well below the reported high bid.
