LOT #1330 – 1970 PLYMOUTH SUPERBIRD – NO RESERVE
The Excalibur Collection is comprised of nine vehicles, all selling with No Reserve January 21-29 at WestWorld during the 2023 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction. The collection is primarily composed of SUVs and American muscle cars – the latter easily identifiable by their classic two-door coupe design and potent engines. This segment of vehicles represents the last decade in which manufacturers were free to design cars without federal safety, fuel economy and emission-control regulations. Meanwhile, the SUVs offered in this collection highlight the versatility of Sport Utility Vehicles, which are experiencing a rise in popularity and have endless possibilities when it comes to customization and modification for any terrain.
