It's a russian spam site, just stealing articles from other pages and putting them up.  Beware.

You can't delete a post but you can go back and  "modify" and delete any of the contents you don't want.

Whenever you see a photo from a site you don't recognize and a screaming headline that begs you to "click me" , 99 percent of the time it will turn out to be a junk page.     Don't fall for it.

If you look closely at the first picture back of the car no Superbird ever came with bumperettes

Here is the original web article. These guys are out of California and found the F6 sunroof Charger that came out of Michigan several years back, along with a few other project Chargers. Supposedly the F6 car was going to get restored, but the guy just gutted some of the better parts and left it to rot further. These guys are planning a Daytona clone with modern drive train and suspension. With it being severely rotted, a 383 2bbl car, and no fender tag, they are on the right track with that car. They have a YouTube channel - Mopars 5150 - and have got some other Charger projects in the works.

Not sure where you're getting your info but Autoevolution is based out of Houston, Tx.  It's a legit site.  Sure they may repost others info as many others do.

And if you scroll down a little there's other Superbird finds

Ah yes, the noted automotive journalist, Andrei Tutu.    Seems legit, no?      :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes, there are a bunch of these copy and paste sites that parrot information.   Translation:  junk web site.    Don't click 'em.

I know exactly where this white Superbird is sitting.  It is a legit car.

These spam click-bait sites just scrape through Instagram and repost the content.  There's a bunch of them, they all get shut down eventually.

Bumperetts were optional on all the 70 Sat/Bev based models, besides nothing saying the owner/dealer may have added them?, or the bumper was changed out?, etc, etc.... not a reason to dismiss the car, but it is real, I have plenty of color photos of this bird, been sitting for years, never for sale, will probably rot to the ground...

Remember "Rappin' with Galen"? He wrote up an article on how to read your Superbird Broadcast sheet.  In the article he lists "M83" rear bumper guards as an option.  Never say never with a Mopar. There is a documented Superbird with blue interior and several with power windows. WINGNUT

Agreed, I'd also love to see more of the B5 blue bucket seat Bird, kinda fell off the radar?

I know the Mopars5150 guy. Super dude and a regular guy with about 150 Mopars  :rofl: but seriously, he's a genuine guy. He has been buying anything he can and dragging all these "not for sale" cars and doing the sheet metal work on them so that they won't be considered junk anymore.
