Superbirds came std with the vinyl roof (to hide the 'chop work' they did to the base RoadRunner roof line). The vinyl was cheaper than smoothing/leading it in so that it would look good painted. Race versions were painted for obvious reasons & some ppl have painted them during resto's.

Daytona's all had painted roofs.

One of my favorites, don't have room for another car. If, the opportunity would come to pass, I would make room...

Yeah, I still remember riding my bike up to the local Plymouth dealer on Woodward & 9 mile and mooning over the ones they had on the lot.
Most were there for a long time, dealers were begging ppl to buy them - now prices are insane & unless you are Jay Leno forget about getting a Hemi one !

Great museum. We were there last year. Nice people. Definitely worth the trip if you're near Charlotte.

Funny you mention that...did the same thing every day on my paper route....the Plymouth dealer was on my route...they took 5 papers every day...I sat in every one of them....

You couldn't give them away in 1976.

I've read that some dealers got so desperate they actually yanked the rear spoilers, fender humps & the nose cone and sold them as RoadRunners
Gotta wonder if there are any of those still out in the wild ? I know there are lots of 'tribute cars' around were someone did the opposite !
