Plymouth Superbird - Ramo Stott...

The model:






Looks like a very accurate version of the 1:1...

The Car:




Stott in 1972 with the Superbird

Stott in 2010 with the Superbird


The Story - from Winged Warriors...

Ramo Stott drove the #7 SuperBird that he campaigned in ARCA, NASCAR and USAC. In addition to winning with the car three times in its seventeen race appearances from 1970 to 1972, Ramo also earned ARCA championships in 1970 and 1971. Other notable achievements in the Keokuk, Iowa native's almost 40-year career were a USAC championship in 1975 and a pole in the 1976 Daytona 500.

They used to, A couple of early series had real rubber tire variations, between 5%, and 10% of the run. One series I know was the Mopar or No-car had a couple of tire variations, The other was the Coka-Cola Festoon Series that was only available at Target! The real rubber tire variation was all with raised white lettering I believe? I'll confirm if you like, when I get back home to Long Island. Nice looking cars with raised white lettered rubber tires!

I have a few JL cars that have white letters on their tires. Not super common, but they exist.

10 of the 12 cars from the first Gold Series release have white letter, rubber tires and some of the Gold Series Direct cars have white letter rubber. Some, not all, of the first 3 releases of Mopar or No Car rubber tire variations have white letters; many of the Holiday cars have white letter rubber.

While I collect all of the JL Superbirds, I also collect red, white & blue JLs. Originally, I only bought one of these for my Superbird collection. But a fellow collector "strong-armed" me into adding one to my RWB collection by giving me an extra (I know it's RWB and gold).

Ramo Stots Superbird is now owned by a fella in New Berlin ( Milwaukee) WI . He has displayed it at many car shows .. Its said to be the only original bodied Nascar Superbird left . All the others were wrecked or re-bodied into later versions of '71 - up Chargers ..

The older JL Nascars had Firestone tires and sponsor decals. Makes a big difference
