Bonhams MPH December Auction
A rare 1970 Plymouth Superbird Roadrunner, believed to be one of only four in the UK, will star at Bonhams MPH December Sale on 16 December at Bicester Heritage, which rounds off Bonhams' 2021 motoring calendar. It has an estimate of £90,000 -- 110,000.
Developed specifically for NASCAR racing, the Superbird was a highly modified, short-lived version of Plymouth's Road Runner 'muscle car', named after the cartoon character. Features include its distinctive protruding nosecone, a high-mounted rear wing as well as its 'Road Runner' cartoon character graphics and 'beep beep' sounding horn.
Fewer than 2000 Superbirds were produced to meet homologation requirements for racing and of these, only 300 were powered by the 426cu/7.0-litre Hemi engine of this example and were capable of top speeds of more than 200mph. Production was limited to one year due to the increasing emissions regulations, combined with higher insurance premiums for high performance cars.
