1970 Plymouth Superbird 4-speed with broadcast sheet and registry listing
A documented 440 Superbird priced near the middle of recent sales; rare, not cheap.
1970 Plymouth Superbird
Ended Rare The Superbird was a one-year 1970 aero homologation car built in fewer than 2,000 examples, and this one comes with its broadcast sheet and a Superbird Registry listing per the seller.
Why we picked it
Why we picked it: this is a U-code 440 Superbird that the seller says has its broadcast sheet, a Superbird Registry listing and VIN stamps on the core support and trunk drip rail. The seller describes a car bought new in Alabama, used as a pace car at Birmingham International Raceway, with no rust and no accidents, and a recently built and dyno-tuned engine. Classic.com's insights describe it as a factory 4-speed car, which the seller says is noted in the reports.
At $209,500 it sits near the middle of 2026 sales, which ran from $187,000 to $240,000 for comparable cars. It is not a bargain, but Superbirds rarely come up with this much paperwork at this price. The paint is a Petty Blue repaint, and the Richard Petty signature on the nose is not verified, so price it as a driver-quality documented car rather than a concours car.
The value check
When we found it, the seller was asking $209,500. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $187,000–$240,000, so the middle of the market is about $213,500. That put this car 2% under.
Superbirds without top-tier concours restorations sold between $187,000 and $240,000 in 2026 at Mecum and BaT. At $209,500 this one sits a little under the middle of that range, so it is listed for rarity rather than discount.

What to check
- Ask whether the freshly built 440 is the original block; the listing does not say it is numbers-matching.
- The car was repainted Petty Blue; confirm the original paint code on the fender tag.
- Mileage history is unclear (4,086 shown as TMU, with higher earlier figures in the story); get the paperwork.
- Check the nose cone, wing mounts and rear window plug for fit and repairs, and inspect the quarters, trunk floor and rear rails on the B-body.
- Have a Superbird specialist verify the broadcast sheet and registry entry before purchase.
Making it drive like new
Most owners keep Superbirds stock. If you drive it, keep the changes reversible: a bolt-on front disc brake kit, radial tires that look period-correct, an electronic ignition and a better radiator, all saving the original parts.
