This ultra-rare Plymouth Superbird just surfaced on Facebook Marketplace for a price that will make your jaw drop.
It holds two records, and it apparently still uses the original 426 Hemi V8.
It’s in mint condition, and it’s a truly historic piece of Americana.
Although some people made an interesting point about it.

A museum piece
This is a 1970 Plymouth Superbird that apparently holds two world records.
It was the fastest production car in the world at one point, with a top speed of 220mph, and it raced at both Bonneville – on the iconic Salt Flats – and also at El Mirage in Arizona.
Some people are saying this might be the same car that Bonneville legends Jim and Larry Lindsley used to race, hitting a world land speed record while they were doing it.
And to be honest, they probably have a point since it literally reads ‘Lindsley’s’ on the flank.
It probably explains the price tag, too: one million dollars.
That’s a lot of cash, but interestingly, some people think this car shouldn’t even have a price tag in the first place.
The guy behind the launch.mode Instagram channel, for example, believes this car ‘should be in a museum’, and most of his followers seem to agree with him.

The Plymouth Superbird might be the craziest muscle car ever made
Some people believe the Superbird might be the craziest muscle car ever made.
And that’s for a long list of reasons.
For starters, the name was indeed a reference to the popular Looney Tunes cartoon character Road Runner.
It also stands out for other amusing easter eggs.
The Superbird also came with a Road Runner decal on the massive wing, and it was fitted with a horn mimicking the Road Runner’s signature ‘beep, beep.’
Also, it’s kind of wild to think that production lasted just a year.
Plymouth only built between 1,900 and 2,700 – no one knows for sure – in 1970.
