Yes. The late Steven Juliano owned one of them.

So the story on this one is that my dad always wanted a Superbird or Daytona race car.     He heard about a car that might have been a racing Superbird near Appleton Wis.    So on a very cold winter day in early 1977, we piled into our '69 Olds and made the two hour trip to Appleton.    When we got there, this was the "Superbird" that we had been told about.   Needless to say, it was a pretty short visit.      We got out of the car,  took a quick look and decided it was a home built B-body short tracker with a wing added.   Pretty disappointing.    It would take another 40 years before we'd get the real thing in the garage.    My dad would never believe it.

This was taken at a show at Wisconsin State Fair Park in late 1969.    The Milwaukee Sentinel newspaper sponsored a show called Young America on Wheels.    It was a car show, with exhibition racing on the famed Milwaukee Mile oval track.     This car was provided by Dodge City, a performance oriented dealer which is still in business under the same family ownership today.

This one was taken at the Iola Wisconsin car show, probably 1977.     The car had the bumper added by Harold Masche, who also owned the red white and blue Superbird that burned badly in a warehouse fire in the late 1990's.    It's a real early Bird,  V0A149xxx.    Still around and has been restored.

This was one of the Les Bowman family Superbirds.   The nose damage occurred at the Chrysler Proving Grounds at the National Meet in 1977.    We got an unexpected invitation and driving tour of the PG.     The Bowman car rear ended another Superbird.    It didn't do much damage to the other car.

This was a mini-meet we held at my dad's business in New Berlin Wis in 1977.   The F5 Daytona is Richard Tiffany's 11,000 mile car, now owned by his son Mark.

Why do they call it 'times'? Isn't it MPH?

[nascarxx29]

Steve had the former Jeff Turner Hemi Superbird.It was later a pizza delivery car.I knew Steve for 14 years and seen all the cars and memorabilia

Why do they call it 'times'? Isn't it MPH?

I guess they could have printed the seconds per lap and let the reader figure out how each then converted to mph.  

Calling it "Qualifying Miles Per Hour" sounds funny.  

"Time" column should have said "MPH".
