Must be a Plymouth Duster or Roadrunner. I 'm not a specialist of those cars. |

Superbird or Daytona w/ the top cut off. |

Should it be listed as 'Custom'? |
|

If a Custom, it's not because of the windshield. It's not a cut-off roof I believe. I have a factory pic of the 1969 Plymouth Road Runner Duster I show car with that low windshield (but not the special nose that appeared later). I've also seen others pics of Dodge-Plymouth models with it. Let's wait for a muscle-car specialist. -- Last edit: 2007-10-24 18:45:32 |

I agree completely, its been modified into a low profile roadster by cutting the "A" pillars and windsheild and adding a toneau cover, I cant tell if its a Plymouth or a Dodge though,  No badging or insignias, comments? |

There IS a one off showcar Chrysler Corp built like this one about 1969-70,and it still existed in a collection a few years ago....probably the same car,just can't recall the name of it?? (This one,and several others,were written up in a magazine article)I recall it was Charger based,though? |

I believe you're thinking of the Fireball 500, it was based on a 67/68 Plymouth Barracuda. It was built by George Barris. |

It's obviously a 1970 Plymouth Superbird, but with the wing and roof removed. Notice the lack of Charger door vents, and the Superbird (not Daytona) nosecone. It's also running 1970-up chrysler Rally wheels, correct for a Superbird; while the Daytona could be had with steelies and dogdish hubcaps, or Magnum 500 wheels. |

Looks like it has Charger tailights in the small pic. comments? |

It's deffo a mutilated Charger Daytona, not a Superbird. Note quarter panel 'coke-bottle', the Superbird would also have a fake air intake. The Superbird nose rises more than the Charger nose too. |

1968-70 Dodge Super Charger: American Muscle is right. Here's it what a website called Moparmax say about the car and the movie. They should know: "And speaking of trucks, has anybody seen the 1974 action film Truck Turner? Isaac Hayes – who played Shaft in the same-named 1971 film – is a cop fighting against the crooked world of Los Angeles pimps. The movie itself is jam packed with the usual clichés, but I refer to it here because one of the pimps drives the Dodge Super Charger. If you don’t remember, the Super Charger is an orange Gen-II Charger roadster (it’s based on a 1968 coupe) with a Daytona nose cone. It was first shown in 1968 as the Charger IV EL minus the nose cone. Back then, it was white with a light blue bumble bee stripe. But it was soon restyled with a Nascar influence and painted orange. In this movie, viewers are treated to two scenes where the Super Charger is shown driving on the street and later parked in front of a pimp’s mansion. This isn’t a great film. But if you’re a Mopar dream car enthusiast, check out Truck Turner for a rare glimpse of the Super Charger in action." |

Here is some more info, with period pictures of the car before and after the adding of its nose cone. In the movie, it should definitely be called a 1970 Dodge Super Charger, the former version being the 1968 Dodge Topless Charger. Link to "board.moparts.org" -- Last edit: 2007-11-17 23:12:59 |

Unlike many concepts of that time period, this car is still around. Until not too long ago, it was part of the well-known Steve Juliano musclecar collection. -- Last edit: 2009-04-05 18:55:02 |

I guess I'll set this straight. It started life as a 1968 Charger that Chrysler built as a factory show car and kept updating it until the new body style for 1971 came out and retired it from the show circuit. Originally it was White/Blue then the final colors are as seen in Orange/Black. It was built this way in 1969 to show case the new Daytona package. |
