That estate Superbird was a 4 spd Dana car. That may be close or same as 440-6-auto money. I believe that estate car was running driving? Not sure is the OP's 'Bird is right now?

Market changes. There's enough recent sales and people to ask where I don't think and appraisal would be that beneficial. Appraisers are good for insurance claims, estate values, net worth financial evaluations, and people that are clueless. It doesn't seem the OP is either of those. Also...

I believe it's a what's its worth and more than anything a cathartic exhale and a self reality acceptance.

Is it a V-code 440-6 or was the six pack added? do you have the buildsheet and/or window sticker? Does it still have fender tag ? (sometimes lost/removed during repaints)

mine was coded: M = 1966 U = February

Are those pictures of two different tires? The first one looks different. One says 7.75-14 the first says 215/70/R14

I bought BFG blue streaks for 775-14 Purely for the oe look This is the original 775-14 date coded 1966 spare:

Does that car have the engine crossbars that Bob Tarozzi designed ? He said they sent him there but I don’t think he got along with Nichols. Then Bob went to Daytona for testing with George Wallace. And then straight to Crane also in Florida to work on Super Stock AMX’s

I don't follow the sold prices enough to comment. Wing car market is dynamic. They can grab non mopar collectors... just to add to a collection. Ultimate musclecar attention grabbers. But with others, sometimes a U-code 4spd will go for as much at automatic V-code six pack. And a quicker sale...

I think the drums have a slightly narrower front track than disks. Especially than the later 73 up spindle/disk conversions. I know the A-body when they convert from drums to the same 73-up spindle/disk some complain out tire rubbing on the outside.

4 Speed Dana was a big part of the added value.

Was a moonshine connection ever mentioned then? I guess I'm so skeptic since I see so many of these 2nd and 3rd owners making up tales. Anything to make their cars seem cooler. As if the car couldn't stand on it's own. That started with the classic car dealer soap opera sale descriptions...

Obviously this Superbird had a complete restoration at some time. It was not a high quality restoration and the car was not stored very well and/or maintained.

Where did this Moonshine reference come from? I remember the builder/owner was a Moparts years ago. I never heard his family ran moonshine. And really THIS car did not run moonshine so that connecting truly unrelated things.

Do you all with this problem have front drum brakes by chance?
