Woman refuses to sell her Plymouth Superbird

So the story shared on YouTube by Mopars5150 reveal that the car was a cherished gift from her father when she was twelve years old.

Her father brought the car in 1987, when muscle cars like these used to rule the roads.

He paid a sum of $9,000 at that time, which would be roughly $23,500 today.

Although, a car like the Plymouth Superbird is in itself a rare piece of history in today’s time, this car in picture was also claimed to have connections to the famous racing driver Richard Petty.

The car is allegedly linked to Richard Petty

Richard Petty – sometimes known as ‘The King of NASCAR’ – raced a Superbird during the 1970 season, but it’s not for certain whether this particular car was used by him.

However, despite the uncertainity, the alleged connections to the famous driver makes the muscle car all the more precious.

The Plymouth Superbird was not just known for its beautiful looks; it was a powerful beast and was known as a key player in NASCAR during the early 1970s.

With a powerful 440 cubic-inch V8 engine, the car had a top speed of around 150mph, which is definitely impressive for a muscle car.

Owning such a proud piece of history means the world to the woman, and her hope is that she will never have to sell the car to meet her financial needs.
