I have a friend trying to make a deal on a nice original Superbird but the nose is missing. Apparently it was in a deer accident and the nose was removed and I guess its gone so if he buys the car he will be either trying to find a use nose or get a new one. Any idea how much he will have to spend for a nice one.
i have to agree with dads_69 . thats the nose i would get if i was restoring an original car. i believe that it cost $7000 empty, without light assemblies. Rene
Sounds right. There is a documented sale of an NOS nose shell recently in the $10,000 range.
Or..he could buy BK's 500 and use the original steel nose assy off of it and convert the car back to a 500. ;D

Probably wouldn't work since Daytona nosecone's wouldn't work with a 'Bird...
Apart from that, good idea!
I still can't get used to people talking about Superbirds on this forum. People keep confusing me all of the time. :icon_smile_big:
In that case, wingcarfab would be the best choice.
i wonder what he would sell that car for without the wing and nose?
Probably not, but if a guy had the cash I think it would be a heck of an investment in the long term. Last I heard, he was going to put it on ebay and set the reserve at 85 or 86k.
Sandra and I talked about buying it and started to drive over to look at it a few months ago, but after thinking it over, we decided that we would rather have the two clones. We have a blast driving both of the cudas to shows together now and I think driving two wing cars would be even more fun. Talk about the wow factor when you pull into some of these small town car shows.
