The iconic 70s muscle car proves that Superbirds can still make reliable partners on epic road trips across thousands of miles.
For those lucky enough to own one or more examples of classic cars, the idea of taking them out for more than your casual Sunday drive can quickly leave owners filled with the anxiety of new noises, smells, and leaks.
After all, there’s a reason most cars 25 years or older get promoted to garage queen duties, no longer having to bear the brunt of an everyday workhorse. But within that group of gearheads lay a small percentage of wild men and women that refuse to subject their cars to a life inside a temperature-controlled garage. Gearheads like automotive YouTuber, Bob Jennings of Jennings Wing Cars.
Because although Bob isn’t widely known around the social media sphere — yet — he certainly is gaining a following for his dedication to two things: Plymouth Superbirds, and cross-country road trips in said Superbirds.
Today, we join Bob as he completes the final leg of his journey from Indiana to Alaska and back — for the second time in six years.
From Indiana To Alaska And Back Again In A Superbird
Originally traversing the multi-thousand-mile trip in 2015, Bob felt it was only right to push the Plymouth Superbird outside its comfort zone again and travel across North America in an epic road trip to show his couple of Superbirds at different car shows in Canada and Alaska.
Joining Bob in soggy Alaska, he soon finds his white Superbird water-logged from the rain — which wreaked havoc on the Superbird’s electrical wiring. Forcing Bob to blast his heat on full tilt for the majority of this trip in order to keep the car dry and driveable.
A Mopar Enthusiast’s Dream: The Plymouth Superbird
Adding insult to injury, Bob soon discovers the muscle car shaking more and more as he traverses on — later discovering the absence of a front, right shock absorber that managed to fall out amidst the bumpy journey along the rough, Alaska highways.
Thankfully, after thousands of miles, Bob reunited with his Dodge Ram tow truck, and his other massively winged Superbird — allowing his tired, white Superbird to rest its wings for the remainder of the trip.
After arriving back in Indiana relatively issue-free, Bob reveals it was his “misplaced” confidence that allowed him to take part in this fantastic journey. Seemingly in hopes of inspiring his viewers to take their classic cars and drive right past their usual car shows and take their cars on a journey to a destination where they’ve never been before.
Just don’t forget to pack enough oil, coolant, and a roadside tool set.
