Other than new paint, the Superbird is unrestored and all original.

This rear wing spoiler and a longer, conelike nose on the front end were some of the aerodynamic features of this "aero warrior."

About this Article

It's only fitting that Doug Schellinger and his dad, Monroe, would come to love and appreciate the Plymouth Superbird by watching it in its natural environment — in action on the racetrack. Four decades ago, the father and son would watch the Superbird race aroud the Milwaukee Mile.
