YES, IIRC the headlight door/buckets are the only "special" parts used by both cars.
Yeap,,, Wind deflectors will position themselves over the same location, but the Superbird has the two holes to attach points whereas the 500/Daytona doesn't......

The wingcar program being on as much a shoestring budget as possible had the assembly of the vehicles using as much as possible from the initial tooling from 69 into 70 vehicles, the headlite doors/buckets as mentioned where basically the same, the front spoilers are the same, Superbird Z bars are just stripped down Daytona Z bars (nose supports), the Superbird latchtray is just the Daytona latchtray turned 180 degrees, the end tabs cut off, a new latch hole punched, and the old latch hole plated over/spot welded, and a few new mounting holes added, basically just reworked for a new application, the rear wing uprights are different, but the center section being an extrusion piece was merely a cut to length/drill/tap operation for the vendor, Tona centers are 57 1/2" in width, Super birds are 55 1/2" widths, wings braces are the same, just different lower trunk floor attachment brackets, and the addition of a flat washer added/welded to the tops of the Birds braces, the A pillar Stainless moldings on the Bird, are just Daytona, but modified with 2 screw holes to facilitate an easier mounting system,everything else is vehicle/year specific
