Thought this was cool...
I'd take them all!!
VINs listed. Right on!
How much was the average salary back then?How many months/years of your salary you needed to buy one?
Puts a little perspective on the magazine articles written long after the cars were new that claim Superbirds lingered in dealer inventory because the appearance was so strange. For sure it was but I have to think the price may have been a factor too.
superbird built in E = los angelos,
dont think so
It would be cool if anyone wants to look up those vin's and see if any of those cars are still around.
