I figured so I couldn't make out the vin on the fender tag.

But still a good looking car

Rear window, no vinyl top, post car, 383, etc.

Ok I'm gonna ask a dumb question, did all superbirds come with a vinyl top? I never studied them much as they are not within reach for me.

 

[SgtSuperbird]

All had a black vinyl top to cover the crude installation and "finish" of the rear window plug.

One (of a few) good ways to see if it's possibly a real Superbird is to look at the 2nd row from the bottom on the fender tag; this one shows a "113" (if I can read it) build date. All Birds are supposed to have a build date of "B30" (November 30th). And there's other easier ways to tell, as well. All Birds' VINs began with RM23x0A, the x signifying the only 3 engines available: 440 (U), 440-6 (V) and the 426 (R). In other words, the 5th character cannot be an "N" (383).

Yes, all Superbirds came with a vinyl top. The base engine was a 440, and all had PS and power disc brakes. There is also a unique piece of trim for the vinyl top to extend around the window plug. All Superbirds were RM23 cars. I agree it's a nice clone, but needs more work to play the part.

Good info thanks gentlemen

All Superbirds came off of Lynch Road, the fender tags a give away before even looking at the car.

No nose gasket/gap?

Nice looking car. I like the the rake. And looks clean without the vinyl top. But looks like a built car right away to some. Most probably don’t know the difference. I wonder what Hoovie’s is going to do with the RM23R0A he bought. It would be interesting to see what it really is.

Yes, but that's not a sign of a fake/clone. More than one real one got that treatment, generally after a smack up and repair job. Cheryl and Pat's car is real shown here..

They just had it restored and it's now back to factory correct.

I have also them filled or leaded in. The same thing with the hood extension.

Did any of the wing cars come as a coupe? Another thing I don't know about with those....
