Does it have to look stock on the outside?

A Superbird nose and a plexiglass cover over that back window tunnel would gain a few mpg, whatever else you do. Forget the coat-hanger spoiler.

1970 Plymouth Superbird
  • 1970 Mopar technology
  • drag coefficient better than many 1990s cars (.28)
  • capable of speeds over 150 mph, stock! (max. 180 or so)
  • considered ugly at the time and a poor seller
  • standard 440 and optional 426 Hemi.
A bellypan, wheel spats and a diverter would help and they're all underneath.
