    Got another wing car,,, this time a Plymouth Superbird
    « on: July 01, 2015 - 09:36:09 AM »
    Well gang.... As some may have guessed, deducted or whatever I was going to do after the sale of the Top Banana Challenger T/A, here's the answer... I have taken the duty to take on Allen's San Antonio Express, be the caregiver of his '70 Lemon Twist Superbird; 440 4bbl console pistol-grip 4speed.. It is a project, but one I'm looking forward in tackling. Initially, I was going to replace all the lines, install a tank, service the front end and brake system along.. Allen was kind enough to send me off with a 70 HP short block and misc engine components along with a small tote full of NOS parts for it.. I just got home.. Here are some pictures of the car during my trip to Ft. Worth. So, the T/A turned into a FY1 Superbird...

    Quite a different bird, but still a runner!!
    Good luck on your build  :cheers:
