i found this handle in my loft during cleanup- i must have marked the tag saying 'white-bird' - the only white bird that i had was a 70 superbird... does anyone know whether or not its for a superbird... thanks

Got excited there, thought you had a scissor jack handle, not the post jack handle/lug nut wrench.

Birds have both jacks...

Why is that?

No bumper at the front to hook the bumper jack to I guess.
To get the front wheel off you needed the scissor jack under the chassis?

Looks the same as the '70 Road Runner and GTX and Satellite.....and New York Taxi......

"Nut" straight section looks long, but it could be camera angle. As Kiwigtx states, the Superbird post jack is the jack that came in every '70 Satelitte and Road Runner

Not sure if the exact size was ever decided on a sbird, Mopar John did some research a while back maybe contact him. Pic of what I have that are the lengths others with original cars had, black one was in mine. I think yours is a c-body size.

It really does point to just how special these cars really were and realising that the factory engineers actually envisioned people driving these cars on the roads and possibly getting a flat tyre.
Realising this they decide to sell the car with two jacking systems - this would be absurd today - the accountants would all be jumping off the roof of the building.

It is probably more commonly known as a 'Lug Wrench'
