Did you know . . .

The 1969 Charger Daytona was faster than the 1970 Superbird by 3 MPH. That doesn't sound like much but in 1970 it was enough to have you qualify 6th instead of 1st. The reason - Plymouth wanted the Superbird to be more pleasing in design (they were going to have to sell 1900 of them) so they changed the nosecone a bit and angled the wing back a bit. Both changes decreased the top speed of the car. The Superbird won a lot of races in 1970. The stylists at Plymouth, however, were not doing them any favors when they slowed the car down to make it look "better."

1971 Boss 351 Promotional Photos










I wonder why they used the K-H Magstar wheels which were never available from Ford on the Boss 351 instead of the standard Chrome Magnum 500s.
