A rare 1970 Plymouth Superbird equipped with its original 426-cubic-inch HEMI engine will cross the auction block this November, representing one of the most iconic and sought-after muscle cars ever produced. Finished in Alpine White with a black interior, this Superbird is one of only 135 HEMI-equipped examples built for 1970 and among just 36 known to exist with an automatic transmission.
This car’s provenance is well documented, including its original Chrysler Corporation production broadcast sheet and factory window sticker. The numbers-matching HEMI engine remains intact, paired with a rebuilt Torqueflite transmission upgraded to HEMI specifications. The drivetrain also features a Sure Grip 8¾-inch rear differential with 3.55 gears, providing the balance of performance and drivability that made the Superbird a standout both on the street and in NASCAR history.
The vehicle received a professional repaint in its correct Alpine White finish in 2000, retaining a clean and authentic appearance. Period details include Rallye wheels wrapped in Goodyear Polyglas GT tires, power front disc brakes, and power steering. Inside, the black bench seat interior with silver piping complements Rallye instrumentation, including the classic Tic-Toc-Tach and Music Master radio.
Certified by the Chrysler Registry and supported by a GTS report and owner service records, this Superbird offers collectors a documented and well-preserved piece of Mopar history. Mileage is exempt on the current North Carolina title, though a previous Florida title recorded just 25,000 miles, underscoring its limited use over five decades.
Crossing the block on Saturday during the November 2025 auction, this 1970 Plymouth Superbird represents one of the rarest factory-built muscle cars of its era—a symbol of performance, aerodynamics, and exclusivity that continues to captivate collectors worldwide.
