A rare 1970 Plymouth Superbird, finished in Lemon Twist, is heading to Mecum's Indy 2025 auction and could fetch up to $700,000 [5]. This fully restored Hemi-powered classic is one of only 135 built with the 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8 engine, making it highly desirable among collectors [5, 10]. The Mecum Indy 2025 auction is scheduled to take place from May 9-17 [4, 8].
The Superbird boasts a numbers-matching engine and a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission [5]. This drivetrain combination makes it one of only 77 units produced [5]. Mecum estimates the Mopar will change hands for anywhere between $600,000 and $700,000 [5].
Previously sold for $528,000 in 2023 and $440,000 in 2024, this Superbird has the potential to become the most expensive Lemon Twist example ever auctioned [5]. It will be auctioned on May 17 alongside a TorRed Hemi Superbird, previously sold for $1.65 million in 2022 [2, 5].
