Coefficient of drag is multiplied by total cross section to get total drag, and a big mopar punches a pretty good sized hole in the air. Throw in some lift on the back end .......

Still, back then anything under a .3 was pretty darned good.

I saw an original superbird for sale waaaaaay back when we used to go to the Long Beach Veteran's stadium Sunday automobile swap meet... it was is so-so condition (but better than the one in Sammy's pic) and probably for sale cheap... as with so much in life I had no time or money for a project.
