About
This homologation model was released by Plymouth, under the Chrysler umbrella, with the clear intention of dominating stock car racing. Based on the standard Road Runner, it received an extended nose and an enormous rear wing, creating an unmistakable silhouette. Standard power came from the 440 Super Commando engine, delivering 369.8 HP, while performance-minded buyers could opt for the 426 Hemi with more than 419.1 HP or a 384.6 HP Six Barrel setup. It was produced for a single year to meet homologation requirements.

If you've any interest in motor racing, you've surely heard of the American NASCAR racing series. It's a high-speed series featuring race cars that have deep connections with production models. Established in 1948, it is a motorsport series with a lot of history behind it. This Plymouth Superbird is a legendary muscle car developed specifically for NASCAR racing. Towards the end of the 1960s, NASCAR races were starting to regularly exceed speeds of more than 186.4 mph. The Superbird was based on the Plymouth Road Runner. Its long nose and large rear wing helped to increase stability at high speeds. These aerodynamic advantages meant that it recorded some truly spectacular lap times in races. However, NASCAR did not take kindly to the introduction of such a specialised car. They feared that it would raise race car production costs making the sport more inaccessible. As a result, the Superbird was only produced for two years.
