Here is a well done diecast replica of the unmistakable 1970 Plymouth Superbird done by Ertl in 1/18 scale. Back in the day I saw a real one on the street near the University of Illinois - Chicago Circle campus. Impressive car or model !

...in high school, I knew a girl whose father owned two of these (yellow & orange ).
Worth about $40K each back then, she'd occasionally drive one to school. We kind of knew the history but weren't too terribly impressed. Years later I learned, of course, that many others weren't either as several dealers found it difficult to sell off inventory; some even replaced all that aero stuff with "regular" sheet metal. 🙄 🙄
Nice pics!

How do you not love the shape of the Dodge Daytona and Plymouth Superbird, the two cars did have some subtle differences from each other, they were not identical twins.

I know I was very impressed to see a real one ! It featured (as does the Ertl model) a 440 c.i.d. V-8 engine.

That Dodge Daytona looks fantastic, Gavin ! It is an astonishing automobile and model and makes a sensational car to either see for real or display as a diecast replica.
