Really nice. but isn't 90 grand steep for a bench seat car?  I guess we'll have to wait for the Cupcakes response

want some  rene?

[BigBlockSam]

for 90 grand i could buy a real one

I'll agree for 90K you could pick up a real 440 4bbl Superbird. Of course it wouldn't be a 4 speed, or a 6 pac car, but it would be a real Bird. Would have to decide which you want more, a rear wing car, or a clone with a 6 pac and a 4 speed.

[BigBlockSam]

real birdie.

I'll agree it's a nice car, but for $90K the car should be even better. Just a few things I spotted that "annoyed" me, were the wrinkled headliner, the air bubbles under the black-out on the head light door, & the crusty old gauges. Ask a price like that for a car & it better be perfect.

[BigBlockSam]

crusty old gauges 

yea i saw that too

[69bronzeT5]

I think thats a pretty well done clone. My computer is only showing one body picture but from that one pic, its look pretty damn good. Wouldnt pay 90k for it though, thats too much for that.

I normally try not to bash cars I see on ebag, etc..and it's a very nice looking car, but in this case, the price tag compels me to give a bit of criticism.

-Try to make some effort at correctness, even if it's a clone.  why bother using original looking factory manifolds, air cleaner, etc if you are not going all the way (agian, for this kind of money)
wrong exhaust,wrong coil, aftermarket intake,wrong clamps (paper label from parts store on lower rad hose) ,modern battery,probably an endless sea of incorrect finishes and plating judging by the rest. 

-I find it hard to believe that car has not hit the road yet after a nut and bolt resto.  look at the tranny crossmember and Kmember, bottom of radiator.   looks like a lotta road rash to me.

-I don't know roadrunners or superbirds well at all, but that whole tail panel looks entirely blacked out to me, is that right?  maybe it's the pics. 

A nice car, but not in "clean" enough condition for that price.  Especially the gauges.  If you are asking 90grand for a car, spend the extra 1200 and get the cluster redone.  If this car were priced in reality, I would not have one problem with it.  and I actually like the bench/column on a wing car.  sort of says granny on the inside and charles manson on the outside.

Gauges and headliner both look like crap!  (I'm channelling Larry)  All the stuff mentioned before isn't that noticeable, unless you're a numbers guy, but for that kinda dough things like fit and finish count for a lot.

[daytonalo]

Looks like a 3rd grader hung nose !!! Nice fender to nose seals and garbage GM master cyl and china booster !!!!!!! I need to go into production of Hemi Daytona's for around 100 k!!

[moparstuart]

   you would sell alot larry.    That cars is nice  but not 90k nice i was thinking the 35 k it was at in this market today was doing good
maybe not what he spent but the market is soft  on birds right now , let alone clones.

My boss's Superbird looks better than that - and is an original 440+6 4-speed bird...  it was recently appraised at $103,000.00    really nice driver quality car...    and a real one...      for 90K just get a 440 4bbl bird

Where?   That clone isn't worth anything close to that, but I haven't seen any driver grade Birds at that price either.

[pettybird]

and have him up his insurance!  you'll never get a six pack car that nice for that money!




i picked the car apart due to his asking price and his ad.  there's a list at least half as long of wrong stuff on my own cars...  but then i'm not representing the car as immaculately kept and no expenses spared.  redetailing the engine compartment on the B5 car will happen before next spring--i'm tired of looking at all the stuff i painted the wrong colors in '99.

Insurance was set at $103,000 while he was married by his now ex-wife....          and will stay there until the divorce is final   

[Slade_Stone50]

It's a REALLY nice Superbird clone....for about $27K!!!

[moparstuart]

wow it's up to 50 k  now way more then i thought it might be worth  ( but then again it aint made it's reserve) so his buddy's must be bidding it up for him

DUH!!!

[superbirdtom]

lotsa people say mine is a clone cause i made an airgrabber hood for it and put on centerlines and basically did it for me. check it out on youtube ,just write BLACK SUPERIRD into the search.  I am going to build a clone it will be black i am going to build a fiberglass functional airgrabber hood for it. my current one is steel . I am going to put a six speed in it along with top of the line recaro leather seats with every gizmo they make. i will go the 440 sixpack route or a fuel injected 440. i would go hemi but i want to drive it across country to meets and have found my real bird right now has factory 4-speed with 8 3/4 323 gears gets 17 mpg on highway. that little two barrel really is great on gas. I think the hemi would just eat too much gas from alaska to back east. the problem i have with the superbird clone on ebay is it is a satellite. and if you have ever tried to swap rallye gauges over to a satellite dash it is a mess. I am starting with a sixpack 4 speed R R i have laying around. yeah if your going to ask the same price as a real bird for a satellite it better be a national show winner.

[chargerman68]

looks great wish i had some cash.....

[pettybird]

didn't meet reserve.  imagine that.

[moparstuart]

 well the 50 k it made it too was high   he should have taken that price
