Hi

Would anyone have any history on this Bird?

It looks very similar to a photo I have of my Bird prior to restoration?  :shruggy:
NEW ZEALAND (aka Paradise)
1973 De Tomaso Pantera GTS widebody
1970 Superbird, 6pack, 4 speed, Tor-Red, Buckets, restored by Julius
1970 428 Cobra Jet, 4 speed, calypso Coral, white shaker
1970 Boss 429 KK2457, Concours, Calypso Coral (SOLD)
1957 Chevy truck, big rear window, ocean green, STOCK!.....nice!

I believe that photo is from a junk yard in Benson Arizona.  In the late 70's through the 80's there were two 'birds sitting in a yard in Benson.  Benson is a little two bit town out in the middle of nowhere in Southern Az.
In the late 80's early 90's a guy managed to buy one of the 'birds ( I think it was the one in the picture).  This man lived in Globe Az. and was starting to collect some Mopars.  He was a law enforcement officer who also had an interesting way of making money on the side :D
He ended up disappearing into thin air and the car disappeared as well.
