Facel Vega Le Mans 1960 Prototype
Although Jean Daninos believed that it was not necessary to compete to prove the quality of his cars, he recommended the study of a mid-engined Facel Vega to participate in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1964 and 1965 following the problems that arose during the launch of the Facellia.
He asked the design office to see how to build a vehicle equipped with a Chrysler V8 and specially developed for the 24 Hours. Chrysler agreed to provide five 6.4L engines with a power of 425 hp at 6200 rpm. A transaxle was designed by Valério Colloti in Italy and the prototype was delivered to Facel.
This car was equipped with wheels and disc brakes specially designed by Dunlop for Facel. These assemblies were delivered to Facel. The speed of the car was estimated at 330 km/h.
The prototype, which was 80% complete, was dismantled after production ceased. The engines, gearboxes and other components were returned to the suppliers.
Paulo Antunes, a famous Facel Vega French specialist, have decided to (re)built this mythic car and it should be done in 2025.

I don't know what the weird, AI-ass-looking thing at the top is, but the Superbird and Daytona were referred to as the "winged warriors".
It would really help if @Altoona 1987 would provide the barest minimum actual information on the car they want so much that they're posting about it.

I think GT7 would benefit from having more cool low volume production sports cars in GT7, such as this awesome M500, I always like to advocate these Noble cars and I like their british cars with euro and V8/V6 power the company ethos plus the tame racing driver: Ben "Ex-Stig" Collins love them too!
2025 NOBLE M500
Would defo love the old nobles of Top gear fame like the M12 & M400 & M600
Great cars!

The only superbird was made in ‘71 was the testing model
Look it up 1971 winged warriors which was banned in 1971 but Plymouth won 1971 championships
1971 winged warrior that Richard petty tested and changed into regular road runner when they outlawed superbird and Daytona. In 1971 because too fast and way aerodynamic ahead of time
NASCAR was pitted against aerodynamic body until 1971

From what I can work out, the cars you're actually talking about here are prototypes of the Plymouth Superbird and Dodge Daytona for the 1971 season - and I can't work out why it's so hard to say that instead of just repeatedly saying "1971 winged warriors" and demanding other people find out what it is you're suggesting.
In checking, it appears neither car was ever real and Chrysler only built 3/8th scale models for wind tunnel testing. That weird, AI-ass-looking car from your original post looks to be one of two cars - a Superbird and a Daytona - made by a pair of enthusiasts based on photos and drawings of those scale models... in 2002, and never driven by Petty (as he'd not have fitted in the original).

Stop. Double. Posting. Use the Edit button to add more to your previous post; this isn't Facebook.
Umm... what?
A whole bunch of professional motoring journalists appear to disagree with you on this point. Do you have countering evidence?

And you've just straight-up ignored this again and made SIX posts in a row...
Providing evidence would be a good start, not "trust me I know".

Again, a whole load of professional motoring journalists say that these cars were never built. Chrysler tested 3/8th (not 1/8th) scale models and produced a 400-page report, from which the replicas you posted were built.
You say different. Post the evidence of a real, 1971 Plymouth Superbird (please call it by its name) ever being built.

You are arguing with a car book reader and I have read a lot car books years and years and years that how I’m expert In rare cars and popularity cars like Very hard to find and my mom car is 2006 Pontiac G6 GTP convertible it was very rare built

No, you're arguing with a professional motoring journalist about other professional motoring journalists.
Provide more evidence than "trust me" and "I know" and "I read a lot" and "I like NASCAR" of this thing. You clearly have it in order to assert it so firmly, so it can't be hard to share it. We provide facilities to upload images, and you can link videos with ease.
And you're still double-posting. You've had 14 reminders this morning. Why do you think you can ignore this?
As a clue: you can't. You're one more offence away from being removed. We do not tolerate people who ignore direct instructions from the site staff.
I wouldn't normally post this sort of thing in public, but you've ignored ten Alerts, two Warnings, and two prior public comments in two and a half hours...

One Of Zero! 1971 Plymouth Superbird
NASCAR threw Chrysler a curve ball when it outlawed those wing cars from racing for the 1971 season, a decision stemming from the Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird causing such chaos on the tracks during the previous two years. But the Mopar powers that be were already moving forward...
You are a guy on the internet saying "I know NASCAR" and "trust me I know". You're making the claim, you provide evidence of the claim. This is how the world works.
