Hello All.
I'm throwing my hat in the ring for a Superbird. I've done the research and I know they're crazy money but it's an itch I just have to scratch. I don't want the car to be a garage queen. I want to actually use it. I wouldn't use it to get groceries or run it through the local car wash but I don't want to be afraid of taking the car to a cruise night and be embarrassed. I guess to boil it down, I'm looking for a nice driver.
All of this got me to thinking. A Superbird is not just a Superbird. There are engine options, transmission options, carburetor options, shifters on the column, the floor, consoles, non consoles, colors... where does it end?
Dammit xlr8, get to the point. Ok, so on to my question. Is there a pecking order for Superbirds? I imagine the top dog would be a Hemi 4 speed car. What would the "entry level" SB be? I'm thinking a column shift, bench seat 440-4 auto. What would be the next step up? And the next? And the next? I'd like to see a list from entry level (if there is such a thing) up to the top dog. Is there such a list? If there isn't, can we make one? What would it look like?
Thanks in advance for any help, opinions or advice!!
