I found this internet data base of wingcars etc mopar or any make car your search that might have been in a movie old and new.Found the background story on the Joe Dirt movie car.Which I know was built by Pat Mc Kinney after he aquired the car with winged parts from Jim Radke.Also the blue superbird seen briefly in the warehouse of Gone in 60 Seconds was Pat Mc Kinneys aswell

They were movies called and picture clips showing the mexican 2001 and clockstoppers which had wingcars in them.And the movie called unknown from 1974 seems to be the supercharger with a funeral decal

If I'm not mistaken the Superbird is shown 2 times in the movie, with both shots at the same dinner, but its in the background another time I think. Maybe not the whole car, but maybe just the wing?

Good and sad movie story.  In 1995 here in Seattle they (Big Break Films) used my Superbird in a movie named "Expert Witness"  It was to star Charles Naiper (Judge in Philadelphia with Tom Hanks).  They used the car for about 6 weeks on call.  A friend Ray got the car in the movie and was shown the edited product without sound and that is the last anyone has seen or heard of it.  Here are some pictures taken during the shooting.  If anyone hears or knows of the please let me know as it has not been released so far to my knowledge.  It is sitting somewhere in a can as I saw the amount of MONEY that was spent making it.  Enjoy the pictures.

The Superbird In Dazed & Confused is an original B5 440 6BBL Automatic car owned by a friend from the Austin, Texas area.  BTW SBBob, Ken has mentioned having met and spoken with you about the similarities of your car and his (other than the Hemi/wedge difference  :icon_smile_wink:)... I believe that it was in Las Vegas.

Here are a few pictures of Ken's Superbird in Dazed & Confused, and at a San Antonio Mopar Meet after being repainted B5 Blue...

BTW, Ken has joined the forum and generally lurks without posting... maybe this would be a good time for an intro... hope that's not throwing you under the bus my friend...  :icon_smile_big:

:ahum:  :confused: :confused: :confused:  Dave, you knew about Ken and his Superbird long before your visit to Austin... mentioning it several times on Moparts postings.  You "found" Ken's car while wandering around the secluded neighborhood where his parents live?... In that small garage with a tiny window...  :shruggy:  If so, you are a darn good scout...

Yes, I remember running into Ken in Vegas.  It has been several years since my Superbird has been there.  Lately have been taking the 70 Fury Ragtop to Vegas as don't get the top down here in Seattle much.  Looking forward to saying hi to him again - will be on the look out for him.  Also if anyone has info on where BIG BREAK FILMS went to or on the car wrangler Shawn Conway give me a shout.  I know the film is just sitting in a can somewhere on a shelf.  Thanks, SBBob
