Pinging this to see if anyone has information on the Lowe's giveaway Superbird. Thx

You have at least 4 ways to say which number your car is. You can "sort" the cars in order of: 1) VON 2) VIN 3) Arrival for nose/wing modifications 4) Completion of modifications. The VON or J number is probably the best way even though the Petty Blue cars make that a little inaccurate. Your...

In January 2019, this photo surfaced. Richard Petty presenting the winner of the Lowe's 1970 Superbird Giveaway contest the keys to the car. I am still searching for information on this car. Please contact me if you have anything. It was in Virginia in 1970 and for several years before...

Got pix of White Top Superbirds? I have started logging the white top superbirds that I have seen or have seen photos of. Not saying they are factory installed white tops. Just tracking them. Like the Beeler bird that was restored back to stock. Post or PM me with these cars please. Thx.

LOL (video of "bird"). Wait a minute... He kinda looks like a David Bowie. Nothing wrong with a 440 car. You can play around with those more than a 426 car!

I think estimates were 50 factory Petty Blue Superbirds (based on the J-code)*. But, under 50 have been accounted for*. One person suggested 43 cars being made. *=disclaimer: I have been out of the Bird world for a while, so another user or source of documentation can (and should) over ride my...

In the barn getting ready to be pulled out. 2005 or 2007.

Just an update. This is same car Sept 2016 Still looking for history on it. Was in central Virginia 1970's. In barn 1978 to 2005. Only a few white top Petty blue birds (not factory) running around back then, so any one remember? Thx!

Just an update. This is same car in 2005 or 2007 when pulled out of barn.

I have some lessons learned with GIII in 1970 B-Body. But I put new K frame and coil overs in, so a bit more than an engine/trans swap. Sounds like the "New Hemi forum" is the better place to research this.

Any details on the Superbird giveaway by Lowe's in 1970? I did a little searching on web and found only newspaper ads. Wondering if the car is recognized today or who won it. Thx

-Ski. I have since found that the Cotton Owens rumor was because a previous owner of my Bird had a Cotton Owens Charger same time as my Bird. So no reason to think my car was a Cotton Owens car at any time. Thx.

Jaws: That B5 white top bird may be the one Ken Langford had at the 1975 winged car meet. Thx.

Anyone get the VIN? PM me with it if you like. Thanks!
