    I love when people resurrect and rebuild cars that were left for dead. the Mustang I have today was for sure left for dead, on its last leg, and literally on its way to the wrecking yard to die, but I bought it right then, put a lot of work into it and now its back on the road again.

    This video kind of shook me up a bit.
    You see, I used to own an Alpine White Superbird way back in the day, rusted a bit and covered in brown primer....but I had to sell it because of a divorce.....it went to a police officer in Utah, if I remember correctly. So for a few minutes there, I thought, 'Oh man, is that my old car?' But no...mine was a Six Pack.
    I wonder what ever happened to it....

    Probably one of the best episodes I"ve seen. I give this a 99 out of 100. The thing for me that lost that 1% is they didn't ring the horn. Only the Superbird/Daytona people know what I"m talkin' bout.

  • @pennywise8182
    @pennywise8182 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    For as long as they had it,working on it and restoring it,you would think that the right side upper trunk lid would fit better than it does to the top of the upper top quarter panel.That gap is HUGE!......And don't say that's how they built them back then....The fit and finish was much better than they would like you to believe back in the day.....But I'm not knocking it at all....As this car was resurrected from the dead and is beautiful....But still for all the time and effort and money that goes into restoring a car,it still isn't like a factory untouched original no matter how hard they may try.👍

    OK, the front grille and the rear end of the 1970 B
    body Plymouth cars, are just about the best looking
    ever!. Glad the SuperBird has that rear body taillight
    style. But, you've covered up the front grille, Plymouth.
    I think the Belvedere, Satellite, and roadrunner have the
    best looking grille. The GTX, not so much. I do like the
    side scoops on the Satellite, more than the roadrunner
    and GTX, though.
    Yes, I wish I had my $800 roadrunner A833, 383 back.

      the nose gap and the hood fitment is horrible but thankful that at least it is on the road! I have seen when back in the day someone try to bond the nose cone to the finders which never should be done, they always should be have a factory seal around and riveted in place. Maybe Mike will take it to someone and have a properly fixed later on.

I had nothing but compliments and fun in that car... even had the cops come to my house and tell me that if I went street racing on a weekend they would ticket me to death...
    So they did... I got $1,800 in tickets in a weekend... I sold the car for personal reasons ( my mom had breast cancer ) it help pay for medical bills.... I wish I could see one one day but they are very rare now days.... it be nice to own one someday but at my age I don't have the resources for it at this time....
