I wonder if there's a wing car that hasn't been photographed yet, at some point in it's lifetime.

The dust-trail 'Bird.....I remember it well. It was the first Superbird poster I owned. Won it at an auto show drag racing game that had real pistol-grip shifters.

I later met the guy at Mopars @ Englishtown. Real nice guy!

Here's the pics I took of the "dust trail" 'Bird in 1987 (Englishtown, NJ).

On the second pic, the owner is standing behind the car.

And I took this one from the stands. The poster can be seen leaning against the front spoiler.

You're very welcome.  I remember kicking back and talking Winged Cars with the owner that weekend. Like I stated above, he was super nice.

I just found another one of the dust trail 'Bird.

And here's a couple more from that weekend. One is mine, and you can see the dust-trail 'Bird in the background. The other is on our way back to the hotel, following Randy Colegrove's 'Bird.

If I remember it right, Randy had just finished the V-code, Tor-Red 'Bird restoration just prior to the 1987 Englishtown show. We were staying at the same hotel, and parked them next to each other every night. He was looking mine over, and said that it was missing the Pentastar on the driver's side front fender. I explained that Chrysler only put them on the right side. He said, "OH....that's why mine was missing the hole. I drilled it and put them on both sides." So whoever owns that car today, that's how it got there.

Somewhere around '89 - '90 Randy swapped it (and I believe cash) for a U-code, Petty Blue 'Bird. This was around the time that I moved onto drag racing, and no longer kept up with the Mopar community.

I called Randy a couple of years ago. He filled me in on the accident with his 'Bird during the Chryslers @ Carlisle event. And that he no longer had a winged car.

Back in the day, Randy and I would swap VHS tapes. I have since converted them all to digital format and have a stash of Mopar shows from mid-80's to the early 90's.
