the EPA bought a Superbird, and it sold at govt auction years later for only $500
the short story is that the EPA wanted to test the exhaust of aircraft, and the brake dust from them too, so they needed a car with a high speed ability that could keep up. A 200 mph car that was affordable? Superbird of course. They added measuring equipment in the trunk, and a aircraft to car radio above the ashtray, and only used it for 10,000 miles and less than 9 years before it went to auction.

The car has been restored,
of course.
It was pretty rough after years of neglect.
What a deal,though!
