The Superbird was sold in 1970 only. Plymouth had to build 1,920 to meet NASCAR's rule of one car for every two dealers in the United States, and the rival Ford Torino Talladega and Mercury Cyclone were its main opponents. It was intended partly to lure Richard Petty back to Plymouth for the season, and the Hemi version could reach 60 miles per hour in about 5.5 seconds. Its styling proved too extreme for the tastes of the time, and many customers preferred the regular Road Runner.
