1970 Plymouth Superbird – 425 Horsepower

Highly remembered for its massive rear wing, the 1970 Superbird had much in common with the Dodge Charger Daytona. Both featured huge nose cones and rear spoilers and were the first stock cars modified aerodynamically using computer analysis and a wind tunnel.

Created to dominate NASCAR stock car racing, homologation regulations required Dodge to produce road-going versions of the Superbird for the public. This saw the American automaker produce a total of 1,920 Superbirds. While the race versions got Hemi engines, most street-legal Superbirds came with the 375-hp 440 Super Commando or the 390-hp 440 Six Pack. Only 135 examples got the full-blown 425-hp 426 Hemi V8, making it the rarest of the bunch. The Superbird took 5.5 seconds from 0-60 mph, which is impressive even by today's standards for such an old muscle car.
