    Yeah Petty dominated in that car. The MOPAR WING CARS (Superbird & Daytona) were the 1st NASCAR cars to break the 200mph barrier... raced a total of 1 1/2 seasons and were then banned due to 'competitive advantage'. They beat the brakes off of Chevys and Fords in the 69/70 season usually coming in 1-2-3 in most races

    Got a ? So if you buy a clone will the resale value be higher? Or is it just something personally you want for yourself with no intent to resale?

    Reason I asked I seen a car look clean as a whistle but it said clone and was a 1968. Asking price was 18,500 it's not a mopar though

    People make clones for varies reasons: cant afford the real car, can find the real car etc. Clones are worth significantly less than a matching numbers original (a car with original parts from when it was manufactured) car they are cloning. So if you buy a clone make sure you are getting a great deal because their may not be much resale value unless it is extremely rare or desirable. I saw a 1970 Plymouth Superbird Clone which is a rare car for 90,000 while the genuine Superbird is going for 120,000 and upwards to 300,000 numbers matching, hemi etc...

    Here are some examples of other clones that are worth a fraction of what original is worth.

    Interesting read if you want to educate yourself a little more.
