If you want to restore them, check everything about them really well.

The SUperbird should only have 1 of 3 engine configurations. the 426, a 440 with a 4bbl or a 440 6 pack.

As for the Chevelle, check it really well. Chevy didn't release a 454 Chevelle in '69. There were the COPO 427s but the 454 didn't hit until '70. The '70 had 2 454s. The LS5 rated at 360 hp (270 kW) and the LS6 at 450 hp (340 kW). So it isn't in a Stock configuration.

Personally, not a fan of the Torino or most 70's stock.
1974 Torino
Also, are you saying it has a 2009 6.2L V8?

Do the Charger, the engine and badging match up. Check the #s
Wiki - A famous Charger was the four-speed, triple-black 1968 Charger R/T used in the movie Bullitt. The chase scene between Steve McQueen's fastback Mustang GT and the hitmen's Charger R/T is popularly regarded as one of the greatest car chase scenes ever filmed. During filming of the scene, the Charger proved to be extremely durable. When performing the various jumps over the hills in San Francisco, the Mustang GT encountered several suspension problems, while the suspension of the Chargers used never failed once.
