Three pics of the Superbird and a pic of the headlight assemblies which will be installed later...

Hey Allen !!!  There's a bunch of spiders on your T/A !!!

Yikes... The worst kind, giant stainless steel ones!  :eek2:  :lol:

Clean-up on the T/A will start soon too... I hope to be driving it again in late Spring.

Thanks Tim!... Stay tuned, the original owner and I continue to talk every week or two.  He remains confident that he has some old pictures, paperwork, and even parts of the Superbird... It may take a long time to find the material though, and his current work schedule limits his free time to search.

In the mean-time I will continue to clean and prep the car as my time permits.  Also, I will continue to post old pics and documents related to the Superbird.  The 'Bird is looking a lot different with the nose cone, fender scoops, and A-Pillar moldings reinstalled!  :2thumbs:

Thanks Dave & Dave!  It is starting to look pretty good... finally.   Yes, the FJ5 Challenger convertible is next to Bullitt.

I have a fair amount of documentation for the Superbird, most of it from the ownership history request that I made before the records were destroyed in the mid 80s.

Below:
1) Broadcast Sheet
2) Manufacturer's Statement of Origin
3) Original Title (Originally titled in his mother's name due to his age & financing needed)
4) Original License Plate Receipt
Wow thats amazing. The crazy thing is I just noticed that my 70 charger came from the same dealership in San Antonio.  O.R mitchell Chrysler I also have the original invoice. I also live in San Antonio which makes it pretty cool.

Trying out a new camera... downsized & highly compressed pics taken without flash with a Nikon S6200 "point-and-shoot" camera.   Pretty amazing for a $130 (on sale) 16 Mpx camera IMO.  Previous pics this week were taken with an IPhone... excellent considering you can have it available all the time.
