Brief description of how you came to own this car and little history on it :

          A couple of years after our son, Kyle, purchased a Superbird, Bev became interested in owning a Superbird.  We answered an ad in the KC Star on Oct. 31, 1981, and drove down to the Missouri lake area to see the car.  We purchased it, and had it towed home.
            When researching it's history, we found that it had been raced in New York state in the 70's.  Much work was done to restore the car.  After about 4+ years of getting the body restored, it was ready for the engine, which our son had rebuilt.  After Kyle got it running again, it was ready for shows!  We have driven it on the following tracks: Indy 500, Milwaukee and Talladega.

If low production, give the number produced :
  
Only 1920 Superbirds were built.
