Looks like they painted yellow over the Limelight green too...and painted around the Superbird decal on the wing.

"Spirit of St Louee" would be more like it.

I'm trying to figure out what kind of car the photo was taken from. Looks familiar but I can't place that hood?

I don't think this is it, but one this color used to show up on a regular basis at a local cruise. It actually translates pretty well into a convertible.

The Daytona and Superbird wings have multi purposes for the wings. They create downforce at speed, and if your dryer breaks down you can dry your clothes on them.............................................. ....

That was the local joke when they were seen on the street in the early 70s, the owners somehow never thought it was funny though.............

Wasn't just a local joke, the media thought the same thing at the time.

...trivia

...the Daytona with the laundry hanging on the wing was my car from 1980 until 1988..I purchased it from the original owner in 1980 w/10k actual miles...it was F6 Bright Green w/white interior, 440 4-spd...I sold it to Mason Dixon, a disc jockey in Tampa, in 1988 and it was photographed for Muscle Car Review by Greg Rager in 1989...my wife actually did hang blankets etc on the wing to air dry....

...the Daytona with the people sitting on the wing was originally the same F6 Bright Green w/black interior and later painted like the Hot Wheels toy Daytona, white w/red and blue stars and stripes...it was owned by my friend and neighbor ( not the people in the pix ) just a few houses down the street from me...the cars were neighbors so to speak

the one with the clothing is now in Cleveland Oh and has 26K actual miles, 200 more than when I sold it 25 years ago...the other one is still wearing the custom paint and is somewhere in Iowa, Nebraska or some state nearby
