The 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird complemented the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona as muscle car copies of aerodynamic NASCAR racers. See more muscle car pictures. NASCAR rules that required automakers to put on the street facsimiles of the racers they put on the track resulted in some extravagant muscle cars, and none was more outrageous than the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird. The superspeedway aero wars were in full flower in 1969 and 1970.
Production numbers vary somewhat, depending on the source. According to the Plymouth SuperBird NASCAR Race Program Serial Number List, 1,162 cars were produced with the 440 4-bbl. Another 665 carried the 440 6-bbl, and the remaining 93 were powered by the 426 Hemi. These figures add to a total of 1,920 cars produced.
