This is a great story! Love the fact that the original owner was there for the reveal!
That was a lot of money back then. I almost bought one but my pop wouldn’t sign the papers for me. At least I got to test drive one in 1969.
J.c Thompson said u couldn't test drive a Daytona, they were very rare
You test drive a 1970 Superbird in 1969?

i seen that car roll through Eureka California in its trip home, bet they got some nice pics of the car in the redwoods too
X wife and I rode the Harley from Canada ( Calgary Alberta ) to Red Wood California . What a ride ! Love the U.S.A. 👍
Iceman, glad Darin is long gone
I couldn't agree more , that weasel was always sticking his nose in where it didn't belong .
I love when people resurrect and rebuild cars that were left for dead. the Mustang I have today was for sure left for dead, on its last leg, and literally on its way to the wrecking yard to die, but I bought it right then, put a lot of work into it and now its back on the road again.
I cringed when they put the gal up on the wing of that brand new restoration, even though it's been done before, I could never do it!
Agreed! I would never do that!
Seen pictures of a guy and girl standing up there... and surprised it doesn't seem to bend even a little...
@@BuzzLOLOL i've seen old pictures of people using those wings as a springboard for jumping into the water...always been surprised by how it held up
Great story about the previous owner of the two Superbirds. Great approach by a Father and Son and being genuine and upfront paid off. Really like his condition that Father and Son each end up with one. Very cool ......
I remembers years ago...I showed my grandpa a pic of one these birds telling him how cool it would be to have one. I never forget what he said, "I think it could be a nice lookin car if they take all that fiberglass shit off of it." (nose & wing) 🤦🏻♂️
I'm thinking that's exactly what most folks said back in the day, too! Hehe
This video kind of shook me up a bit.
You see, I used to own an Alpine White Superbird way back in the day, rusted a bit and covered in brown primer....but I had to sell it because of a divorce.....it went to a police officer in Utah, if I remember correctly. So for a few minutes there, I thought, 'Oh man, is that my old car?' But no...mine was a Six Pack.
I wonder what ever happened to it....
This is amazing!! At Graveyard the story, history, and future are as important as the car itself. I'm a car guy of course, and I love to see cars create big smiles on the faces of all those it comes in contact with.
Mark, enjoy your channel and show, very informative and entertaining. You have just enough drama and humour to break it up. I’m not even a Mopar guy but love the old Muscle cars cause I grew up with them ( I’m older than you ) . Keep up the great work ! P.S. keep dancing !
Love watching this show, over time I've learned so much about Mopar the cars I love
The Dream-Maker, haha! Great
My first episode, I am now subscribed! Nice Job!
I really appreciate Mark's humor. Reminds me a little of Michael from "The Office". I love the quality of the restorations!
...Thought I saw "PLUM CRAZY" for a moment! You were just teasin', you naughty naughty boys.
I love old muscle cars i wish they did a chevelles and monte carlos tv. and some mustangs and pontiac gtos, these mopars are works of art
Probably one of the best episodes I"ve seen. I give this a 99 out of 100. The thing for me that lost that 1% is they didn't ring the horn. Only the Superbird/Daytona people know what I"m talkin' bout.
What a Great Story and a Bloody Beautiful Job , Kudos Graveyard Carz 👍
Loved watching this show it was great. Thank you
Next time I am out in Oregon I will stop by and check out the shop. I have a Sister that live in Springfield.
*I had an awesome relationship with my Dad; he got me into American music. We become best friends toward the end and I miss him every single day.*
I've watched every episode, and the one thing that I think of is each car they restore, is another victory for Mopar.
I knew a guy that had four of these superbirds and a couple of daytona's outside of Knoxville, TN years ago! He lived off Washington Pike at 640 for anyone who wants a wild goose chase!
For as long as they had it,working on it and restoring it,you would think that the right side upper trunk lid would fit better than it does to the top of the upper top quarter panel.That gap is HUGE!......And don't say that's how they built them back then....The fit and finish was much better than they would like you to believe back in the day.....But I'm not knocking it at all....As this car was resurrected from the dead and is beautiful....But still for all the time and effort and money that goes into restoring a car,it still isn't like a factory untouched original no matter how hard they may try.👍
the work that mark and his guys do is the best knowbody comes close.
Wow now that's awesome.
Done well 🙌 Well done. Great job.
Touching. , good trip to make . , God bless 🙏
0:06 thought it was on bags for a sec lol
OK, the front grille and the rear end of the 1970 B
body Plymouth cars, are just about the best looking
ever!. Glad the SuperBird has that rear body taillight
style. But, you've covered up the front grille, Plymouth.
I think the Belvedere, Satellite, and roadrunner have the
best looking grille. The GTX, not so much. I do like the
side scoops on the Satellite, more than the roadrunner
and GTX, though.
Yes, I wish I had my $800 roadrunner A833, 383 back.

That bird looks nice I been restoring cars for the last 40 years I can appreciate the work you guys do keep up the good work Eloy @ lost Classics inc
Not really a car for me but I do appreciate the NASCAR heritage of a vehicle like this. So cool that a guy off the street could buy one in order for them to meet NASCAR requirements. Very 😎 😎
King Richard petty. L.o.l .. ZOOOM.
World class car!! Bad to the bone!!
Only thing to say father and son project? Great build. Congratulations)
nice Plymouth Satellite
Awesome car and great work but that Edelbrock carb is killing me.
thank you so much. Horribile why not use the original carb??????
Carter Corp. is long since gone. They are all manufactured by Weber Co. Yes, the same as Weber Carburetors as made in Italy.
Beautiful car beautiful story
looking good guys
This is a good show
Should have documented trip back home its rare people actually enjoy these cars .. so many afraid a bird is going to fart on it or God forbid rain drop gets on paint.... I drive my many mopars some rare some average .. Diving the 57 300 today ..... great video
Cars are never too precious to drive.
Nothings more precious than your own life and the lives of your loved ones..if we can accept some risk to ourselves driving around, losing any car is surely a lesser risk.
Mark W. I would love to track down a super bird from Michigan. Old PG from back in the day. Mechanic and Engineers.
That front cone to hood gap looks excessive. I have seen some that fit relatively nice and some that were poor. I don`t know if that`s how they rolled off the line, but in a restoration, I think you could get a better fit.
Sometime you want the factory gaps. When the gaps are prefect then the car looks over restored.
The nose gap flatout looks horrible.
the nose gap and the hood fitment is horrible but thankful that at least it is on the road! I have seen when back in the day someone try to bond the nose cone to the finders which never should be done, they always should be have a factory seal around and riveted in place. Maybe Mike will take it to someone and have a properly fixed later on.
Daren gave himself a few tugs below camera a couple of times😆
...AND the original owner! Just to make him 'eat his heart out a little' LOL I wanna work at this place.
He's a total piece of $hit
trust me,it isnt like you see it on tv........this is scripted bullshit of a 2-3 year restoration
Husband and wife are built 💪💪💪💪
Totally agree a lot of time and effort put into getting this physically fit. The young lady looks great, sometimes a woman can go a bit to far and almost start to look to masculine but for her she complimented the female body form beautifully! Just like a Superbird resto project, great looking "lines". LOL.
Lucky guy he got both of them
Mark is the American David Brent!
I got a dodge 1972 factory. Power sunroof challenger.. 340 mag...four b.. 3 fender tags with 29 options.. Rarest shit on earth
Awesome
13 30 , nice bang up on a re skin
Cool story. Incredible Chrysler only built about 1900 of these...wow
Thanks, “ Crew” , oddly interesting... I bought a new 1970 Dodge Coronet 500/383/4 BBL/ Ralley Red / black Vinyl/ @ some $3000....actually could,not afford the UPSCALE models of GTO judge stage 4/ Torino KING / Trans Am HO 455 (?), & imhad see the Superbird : & IT WAS TO LONG & dramatic...Anyways , drove and worked on my 1970 Coronet many years.....quite a Job you all done, as some of that MOPAR, THOugh LUCKILY, MINE WAS build pretty good ....
1:31 It's either "all original" or "beautifully restored". It can't be both.
Man i always hear about these guys i remember watching the video of when they bought the cars from the old man
I owned a 1976 NOVA SS...I worked 2 jobs and couldn't keep a girlfriend for long because I spent all of my free time working on my nova.... I had nothing but compliments and fun in that car... even had the cops come to my house and tell me that if I went street racing on a weekend they would ticket me to death...
So they did... I got $1,800 in tickets in a weekend... I sold the car for personal reasons ( my mom had breast cancer ) it help pay for medical bills.... I wish I could see one one day but they are very rare now days.... it be nice to own one someday but at my age I don't have the resources for it at this time....
all 165 horsepower of 8 to 1 compression and a peanut cam of fury outta that beast!!! you didnt street race in a 76 nova ss unless you were racing taxicabs who were unaware you were racing them.the 305 in my trans am would really hurt that car very badly and embarrass it,and its a 305 but it has probably 100-150 more horsepower(heads,cam,intake,carb,headers,good tune,ignition etc)funny, as hated as the 73-77 novas are,people are now asking stupid money for them.image the money the 68-72 novas are going for....
I think the Mrs has had some after-market body work done. 35:05.
Dad traded in for a new Mrs. could careless about the car.
It would be nice if there were more than just the same episodes available.
One look at the thumbnail and I'm thinking the doggy car from dumb and dummer 🤣
car good, pop&kid outstanding. the only gyc that made my allergy act up, sorry pass a kleenex
👍👍👍👍
I love to see Family Values!! especially these days with the Division that ANTI-Americans are pushing! I LOVE Old Cars!!! Great JOB!!!
Mark should have bought an Auto metal direct spot welder by now
Great restoration indeed !! B U T ya gotta have the "original" whining starter motor guys !!!
I don't understand the hose panel ... for racing I get the airflow .... but on the street .... ? it's just plain weird .... yes I get that ,that was how it was made ... but great video ..thanks
I think I know where those cars came from, wont say but knew one was partially visible in a barn.
Dance moves.....
I’m sorry I just thought you were an epileptic...
Sorry Mark
Seriously great show guys
i need one
I saw his last race in Pocono PA.
He qualified on the pole.
If I was the one having that bird restored and I had the original owner there with me I would have wanted him to have that first drive as a thank you for holding on to it for all those years and possibly saving it from the crusher and also taking the leap to sell it to me because even though the car was in a bad way you know it probably killed him to see it go because the model of mopar it was and the time he had it it's not a vehicle anymore it's family like one of your children if you will
*I'm not a MOPAR guy but, I knew it was 43; I have a 1976 Camaro.* @2ndGenFrank
i thought i was lucky being a teenager with a 66 mustang but a superbird would be like winning the lottery or flying to the moon
Fastback or coupe
@@joshpittman2939 coupe, fastbacks were a little out of my price range
@@sharkbowers6035 everyone felt that
did u guys make the front grill bigger cause i know one thing because of the front grill being so small that causes the engine to over heat
I thought that the engine would have had more grunt than that?
A lot of guess work about these cars. Isn't there anyone remaining from Creative that can answer questions?
Whatever happened to Mark's cousin that was on the show?
"Nice..." -Mike Hill
Does anyone know if this is the Six Mile, SC Superbirds that heard about years ago?
Should have painted it lemon twist yellow.
The top of the attenna seems clipped and the nose code body lines don't line up and hood body lines at the very front seem to don't line up either
How much did the restoration cost
Still looks better then a mustang
funny how some people think this takes a week,try 2 years and thats a fast resto...all that and an edlebrock carb and it sounded like an rv 440
Looks like the car Homer Simpson designed.
Dancing with the stars?Dude been in orbit without proper oxygen too long
So what's the weight capacity of that wing again?
I got all the answers to the pop quizzes right do i win a prize? ;)
I think this is Middle Gear.
❤❤❤❤👍
They should have let the Original owner drive it that would be cool
I guess Daren finally got out of rehab.
I think it would've been cool if the super bird could've been ordered in moulan rouge
WASNT THIS ONE ALREADY POSTED A MONTH AGO?
5:10 IS THAT F*CKlNG OMNI-MAN?
43 petty=god
I'm way behind, what happened to Will?
Will is still with worman painting cars
@@pissedoff8844 must not be on the show anymore?
@@torreyjones9833 YES WILL IS STILL ON THE SHOW
Was that a man on the wing where was the beauty allysa
so what happened to the other one?
just wish I had the money it cost to redue this car I be happy
@Z yeah I probably could but then rest of me wouldn't be able to survive on disability I'll get it from VA and Social Security
@Z and I think I tried enough
