That Superbird is owned by the gent who I got my Daytona from. I looked the car over briefly when I inspected the Daytona before we traded. It seemed pretty solid and nice. Needs some detailing here and there. I remember he didn't have the proper dual-snorkel for it, but obviously found one.....

Part???  Which part??

Bryan: The part above my shoulders.

Troy: Is the car as impressive in person as it is in the pictures? It looks very clean and straight. Did you here it run?

I remember he didn't have the proper dual-snorkel for it

and still doesn't...

obvious quarter panel/trunk floor/extensions replaced.

that car's equipment looks MIGHTY familiar, though...we have a remote mirror on our car.

just looked again...who the hell would swap out a white interior on a B5 bird???

Would you mind teaching me what numbers on the fender tag depict a white interior?

The inquiring mindless would like to know.

[moparstuart]

You're correct, it's a '72........    Good eye... Too bad, I offered him a correct '70, he didn't want it at the time.. Maybe he doesn't know the difference???.............

For the amount of money he's asking versus what the "market" is going at for other 'Birds, it's nice.. Super-clean, naaa. I didn't inspect it too much for I was looking at my Daytona, his other Daytona and cars.........   I didn't hear it run........

the color and interior codes are on the second line from the bottom. 

EB5-- E=new for 1969 (the "E" series), B5=Blue Fire Metallic
6XW-- P="premium" grade, 6X=bucket seats in vinyl, W=color of material
EW1-- E (new for 1969 color again) W1=white.  This is the color code for the upper door frames (UDF.)  It told the workers to paint the insides of the doors and tops of the inner quarter trim white. 

If it were a black interior, you'd see P6X9 and TX9, where 9 is the code for black.  The "T" dates back to 1962.  For some reason the calendar rolled around before the end of the alphabet and started over at A again in 1965. 

You'll see these codes again for stripes and vinyl tops, too.  if you've got a w in the stripe or top code (say, V8W and V1W, respectively) they're white.

Thank you.

If you're interested in a B5 bird, I know where there is one for sale. It's a six pack, 4-speed, non matching numbers, very solid car and very original, other than the block of course. I think it has all of it's original sheet metal. It was offered to me last year for 120K. They repainted it but I think they screwed the paint up when they buffed it. He's mentioned bringing it to me to straighten out but he just hasn't had the time I guess. It's a good looking car.
Located near Hot Springs, Arkansas.

  blue around the headlights..!

blue around the headlights..!

so, what does an ORIGINAL bird nose look like with the masks removed?  by that I mean, what was the correct process for the body color/black paint?  were the doors and surrounding areas black ahead of time and then taped off at clairpointe?  i'm not ready to tear into my petty car juuust yet...

[maxwellwedge]

They were painted with Organasol.

It's a beautiful car, but (and notations of "ALL THE SAME DETAILS LIKE A NEW CAR INSIDE JUST LIKE IT DID 40 YEARS AGO" always brings this out in me) isn't the rear seat missing an emblem in the middle of it?

Funny, I don't remember the speedometer and other gauge lettering being so "brown" on new cars either!

Well,,, When he advertised Dana (my former '69 Charger 500), there was a description of it being 100% rust free..... (far from the truth and I call him out on it). So, it's apparent "liberties and embellishments" are taken......

[Topher]

I saw that in the pic too. Along with the painted wiper motor, and auto store battery. I'm going to be in Carlisle, so I'll be doing some shopping for my friend

but in what order?  noses all in body color, masks applied later, or black applied first, body color masked off to decal edge?  were the buckets/doors sprayed ahead of time, before assembly?
