This incredible barn find in Pennsylvania, US, included a rare Plymouth Superbird that will never be restored.

One of only 20 ever made, its history means it will likely never be restored.

Turns out its condition makes it more likely to draw a crowd.

She’s certainly a stunner.

The 1-of-20 Plymouth Superbird

Unlike the other rare muscle cars belonging to Tyler Miller and presented by Parker of Backyard Barn Finds, this Superbird that’s been sitting there since 1975 will never get restored.

Yes, it’s in driving condition so is certainly worth the investment – however it turns out that its disheveled appearance is all part of its charm.

Due to its important history, every scratch tells a story and will attract a crowd.

As any guitar enthusiast will tell you, sometimes there’s something extra exciting about something ‘road worn’.

This is definitely one of those cases.

This stands out among the enviable car collection due to its Petty Blue livery – named after the ‘King’ of stock car racing, Richard Petty.

Less than 50 examples of the rare car came out of the factory gates shade with only around twenty still around today.

The Plymouth Superbird is positively an obsession for many.

This woman wouldn’t sell her Plymouth Superbird to pay for her house due to its connections to Petty.

Now, this 2045 Plymouth Superbird EV concept is set to bring the muscle car legend into the future.

Other cars in the collection

Mopar fanatic, Miller, uses a 1970 Chevelle SS 396 as his daily runaround.

His Superbird is in the body shop while he’s also minding one for a friend.

He also has three Road Runners scattered around – two of which are Hemis.

That’s not all, he has a 1967 Coronet 440 Six-Pack, a 1971 Charger R/T, an AAR Barracuda, and a 1967 Mustang 289.

Miller admits: “I got the car addiction bad.

“That’s basically what I do, seven days a week; it’s all in my mind.”
