It has that look. Steel wheels with small center caps, minimal trim.

Did it have a 4 speed?

I can't recall, and I don't have another shot of the car to check

But it does have 'that look'.

Went shopping to the local supermarket and this was in the carpark opposite. Interesting choice for an everyday ride. Interesting to see the size - longer than a Corolla and much lower than a mini clubman but quite small overall. Car was out from the rear kerb a bit so as to protect the rear air-dam plastic from being scratched - no reversing camera perhaps??? (Phone Camera)

A quarter-million-dollar car next to a Corolla. Interesting social commentary.

I am leaving for Cars And Coffee in a few minutes, but there is also a group for "Car Loving Pentaxians" for anyone who is interested.

The main thing when you take your expensive supercar out is getting out of it without appearing to be old and creaky.

Speaking of cars that are super . . . . .

A "Superbird".

{Full disclosure: The Plymouth Superbird was never available as a convertible. This car was created by the owner, at considerable expense. The parts don't come cheap.}

And then we have an authentic Dodge Charger Daytona.

Certainly more "super" to than the Superbird, eh?

426 Hemis or 440 Wedges?

Hemis I believe.

In both.

If she winks at you, wink back.

I have seen those eyelashes on headlights. Around here they seem to often be associated with lipstick kisses on the rear window.

Speaking of headlights, is anyone familiar with the term spididdle or padiddle, and the game(s) associated with it?

I've seen few cars that are as attention grabbing as that Plymouth Superbird 'convertible'. It does turn heads I bet, wherever it shows up. I'm not sure if the colour was a Mopar colour back then. Looks like a nice paint job,

I would think that it took a fair chunk of change to modify that car.

I recall back when Superbirds and Charger Daytonas were new, we had a few of them up here...ranging from a 426 Hemi to a 2 barrel carb, 318 V8 with a 3 on the tree. The 318 when I think about it, was a basic Charger.

Yep, it was. Panther pink.

One of many bright colours available then.
