"A 1970 Plymouth Superbird is Yet Another Four-Wheeled Victim of Hurricane Ian" - autoevolution

I saw one of the earliest models ever built. Back in the late 60's/up to maybe 1980 there was a multi-type race track in Lewisville on I-35. They had an oval, a LeMans-type course and a drag strip. Well, the Chrysler racing team was there in the late summer of 1969 but they were staying at the Holiday Inn by what is now the High Five. They had their race cars of course, which were on enclosed trailers (never saw those cars) but the support team has a street legal car to get around town and one was a super bird. I remember driving in to work to work the morning shift at the restaurant and seeing that giant tail wing on the car. I never saw under the hood but saw it a couple mornings in the parking lot and asked around who was driving it and found out about the corporate race team for Chrysler. Don't remember if I ever saw the guys eating breakfast or not.
