Check out this Superbird, which was painted like this in 1976 for the Bicentennial. Sadly, it was heavily damaged in a storage fire in 1999, along with about 60 other collector cars, through the remains of this Bird still exist. It's a 440-4 bbl, 4-speed, white with white buckets.
I've got a bunch more patriotic Mopars after the jump, including more Superbirds, wheel standing Sox & Martin cars and a Richard Petty car.
The Bicentennial Bird below was owned by Rome Benedict, a DJ from Chattanooga, Tennessee. At the 1976 Wing Car Meet at Talladega, he showed up in this costume to do the parade lap before the race.
The Bird below was owned by George Tamasi from the Bronx, New York. The photo was taken at the 2nd National Daytona and Superbird Meet at Talladega in 1976.
Bruce, who owns the Challenger below, writes, "Here's my T/A in 1979. Don't ask me why I thought pictures on the back lawn would look cool."
And here are a few more red, white and blue Mopars for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to all my buddies at Moparts for the great pics. Special thanks to Doug for the great old Superbird photos and details on these cars.
Happy 4th of July from everyone at CarDomain!
