1970 Plymouth Superbird with numbers-matching 440 and broadcast sheets
Genuine U-code Superbird with paperwork; current bid is under recent sales but expect it to climb.
1970 Plymouth Superbird
Sold Rare One of 1,935 Superbirds built for 1970 to homologate the winged car for NASCAR; this U-code car keeps its matching 440 and has broadcast sheets.
Why we picked it
Winged Mopars rarely show up on open online auctions, and this one has a numbers-matching U-code 440, an automatic, complete and partial broadcast sheets and a clean Delaware title. The seller says the body is largely rust-free, it was repainted in factory Vitamin C in 2005, and the fuel tank, brakes, cooling system and exhaust have been refreshed.
The current bid of $148,000 is below every U-code sale we found in the past year, which ranged from $165,000 to $247,500. Bids usually climb on Hagerty in the last days and the reserve status is not stated, so treat this as a chance to buy a real Superbird near the low end of the market, not a steal.
The value check
When we found it, the bid was $148,000. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $165,000–$248,000, so the middle of the market is about $206,500. That put this car 28% under.
U-code 440 four-barrel Superbirds have sold between $165,000 and $247,500 over the last year (Mecum, BaT, Barrett-Jackson). The $148,000 bid sits about 28% under the midpoint, but it is listed for rarity and bids usually climb before the close.

What to check
- The nose is an NOS replacement installed after car-show damage; ask for photos and details of that repair
- The seller notes rust in the center of the trunk and paint bubbling at the bottom of the driver rear quarter
- Known issues: dash crack, inoperative dash lights, disconnected tach and washer bottle, loose seat stitching
- No fender tag decode or Govier report is mentioned; have the VIN, fender tag and broadcast sheet verified by a Mopar specialist
- Edelbrock carburetor and MSD ignition are not original; keep or source correct parts if originality matters
