69 DAYTONA, great trivia info!!
Another bit of trivia was the fact that Superbirds were illegal in the state of Maryland due to the fact they did not have a front bumper. Chrysler purchased all the Superbirds back from dealers and owners and resold them in Florida. More trivia : Daytonas and Superbirds came with two different jacks in the trunk; a scissor style for the front and a bumper jack for the rear.
