Bank heist
Have you guys ever heard of the story of when thieves made one of the notorious, cunning heists ever and used a Superbird for the get away car? I think they either robbed a casino or bank I dont remember. Their car was a Vitamin C orange Plymouth Superbird with a 440+6 under the hood. It was an amazing car. The FBI confescated it then sold it off in an auction it sits in Auburn IN right now. thats all I remember from the Magazine article I read, but once I get the magazine back from my grandpa I'll be sure to fill you in on the rest of the story.

Complete ownership history including FBI information about the robbery comes with the car. 28,605 miles, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and bucket seats.

After that, as they say, the rest is history! I have quite a bit in my Mopar collection. Some NOS dealer promotion items from the 60s and 70s, plus a few tons of factory service manuals from when I was with the Dodge dealership.....then, I have those nice Mopar blueprints that I collected for building some American Muscle....and there is an engine stand in the kitchen for my next project this winter! Yeah, I guess that I do know a bit about Mopars...Heck, I even have a Mopar tattoo! MW |
