The Superbird was based off the Road Runner and was built to qualify the car for Nascar. Overall, 1,920 total Superbirds were built in 1970 with a choice of three different engine packages. The first is the 440 V8 with the four barrel carb rated at 375 hp. The next step up was the 440 V8 Six Pack (pictured) which put out 390 hp. The rarest and most powerful Superbird had the 426 Hemi V8. Only 93 of these cars were ever produced. Despite its success on and off the track, 1970 was the only year for the Superbird.
