It’s believed the sale marks a new Plymouth Hemi Superbird record.

A restored 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Hemi Superbird has broken auction records in the US, fetching US$1,650,000 at Barrett-Jackson’s in Las Vegas.

The December 1969-built NASCAR homologation special was ordered in Tor-Red. It is powered by its matching numbers, a top-spec 426ci Hemi powerplant. Most sources indicate 135 of these 425hp Hemi Superbirds were built, with just over 1900 Superbirds produced in total.

Justin Simpsons HT Monaro is a stunner but also packs massive cubes and plenty of nitrous in the quest for no-prep glory.

Nissan Skylines have come a long way over the past couple of decades. Theyve made an almost seamless transition from performance street cars to incredibly fast race cars. These days a lot of them are single-purpose, dedicated racers. And samples retaining scraps of their street heritage are getting rarer by the day.
