Superbirds/Daytona Chargers is statement true?

If you spot a 70 Road Runner with a "U" engine code (I.E. RM23U0), it's a 'Bird.

For the uninitiated, that's because the Roadrunner came with the 383 (N code) or the 440-6 barrel (V code) or the Hemi (R code). Only the GTX and the Superbird came with the 440 4bbl (U code) in 1970.

Yes, all of the above is true but may confuse some here. The "U" code engine is the standard engine for a S-Bird but it was available optionally with both the six barrel and the Hemi as well.

Quite correct, Superbirds were either U, V, or R-coded.

That's correct, but I was just making the point that RM23+U engine code=Superbird, everytime.

Wow. That brings back memories of my first 70 RR. Sans the funny looking back window, of course.
