Plymouth Superbird

cool cars.

But what else have you got? Dodge Daytona, fucking Plymouth, fucking Superbird, whatever the fuck it's called.

Yep.

They were for racing.

I mean, that's what they did back in the old days.

You had the Dodge Charger Daytona with the winged Superbird to complete with, uh, Plymouth Superbird.

So I don't know.

But whatever, whatever makes Ford more competitive, I guess.

Yeah.

Well, I love the Superbirds.

It's my Valley of Song.

[laughs] It's got the nose.

Not a bad move.

But after one season, Plymouth lured Petty back by building the iconic Plymouth Superbird, the car Petty had wanted all along.

Then, after the 1970 championship, Bill France [laughs] stepped in once again, and NASCAR banned the aero cars, ending the Torino's dominance.

I don't know, man.

Right.

Yeah.

I mean, it's cool to get the Superbird with its funny nose cone and big old wing.

Mm-hmm.

The irony of this, you guys, is this morning I woke up, and of course, like all normal people nowadays, the first thing I did was check my Instagram, right? Because we all do that.

First thing I look at is it's Kyle jumping in the 70 Superbird doing a cold start.

Oh, awesome.

So

But it's a lot different from the days when, you know, Dodge would put a car on the track and then homologate it and we'd come out with a Daytona.

Or Plymouth would put a car on the track and homologate it and we had the Superbird.

By the way, I remember seeing the Superbird when I was in, like, fourth grade and thinking, like, this is the coolest thing ever.

But now they all... pretty much look the same obviously they're you know that um the same formula with the frame and and just the panels make it look different if i'm a real fan i can't go out and buy like even though the ford is supposed to be a mustang dark horse sc obviously it's not supercharged like how do you get back to a time when they can win on uh sunday and sell on monday

Yeah, I think it's a balance.

That, that looks like a cool show, uh, that I've seen a number of videos.

I saw Richard Petty's, uh, Superbird run, run that course.

Mm-hmm.

Dom, as far as y- you're a small shop, you're looking to hire somebody, what would your advice be to younger people that wanna have careers in the industry? What, what are-- You know, you went to college for industrial design.
