ABOVE AND BELOW:
I just recently came across 2
Superbirds they were originally bought in 1978 as a pair. They both came out of a barn in up state New York in 1978. The cars were bought by two brothers. The cars were driven for a while then it seems the brothers lost interest in them. The red car is a 440-6pack, auto, nose is bondo and there is a lot of rust. Car was originally a petty blue car. The car at one time had A/C installed as it came from Florida. That brother said his car was not for sale as he was someday was going to restore it. In a couple more years there will be nothing to restore. These people are unbelievable. The other car was black, 440-4, auto, originally a lime light car, This car seemed fairly straight with far less rust. I felt it would need far less sheet metal. The six pack was nicer as far as the drive train went. About a couple of weeks later, I heard from a friend that the one brother was thinking about selling. About a month went by and I finally closed the deal and got the lime light car. Attached is a picture of the red bird and my black one. I presently trying to find out about the lime light cars history. I am back to 1974 presently but would like to go further. Story goes the limelight car was a promo car. I am trying to track down some 1970 magazines. Thanks to John for those
ones. |
