C500

The two Daytona's look sweet together Troy, would love to see them with the wheels swapped over.  :drool5:
"An aggressive exterior with power to match was enough to pull in the performance boys-especially when abetted by a pair of pipes blaring out the back, and brawny red-sidewall rubber hitting the pavement."  

"........the four speed box changes cogs with the precision of a sharp axe striking soft pine."

Charger-Bodie

68 Charger R/t white with black v/t and red tailstripe. 440 4 speed ,black interior
68 383 auto with a/c and power windows. Now 440 4 speed jj1 gold black interior .
My Charger is a hybrid car, it burns gas and rubber............

Highbanked Hauler


  (FAKE winged cars are very similar to the old kit-cars back in the day. It's only something that's trying to look like something that it's not.)

   I'd be willing to bet there were very few "real" factory bodied 500 & Daytona cars on the track. The rest were parts attached to 68 Charger sheet metal. :Twocents:

68 Charger former parts car in process of rebuilding

Pretty cool Troy! I think the trade sounds pretty fair for both involved. Those pics you took remind me of the ones i shot last summer lol. NOT to hijack, but here are a couple other "double daytona" shots..

Could not go the first day without messing with the black Daytona.... Replaced the dual snorkel with the proper unsilenced air cleaner : unless its a California car which I need to check on the fender tag now that I am thinking about it. Also replacing the throttle linkage with the 69 version. I still have half a can of organisol, so guess what is happening with that....

Kiddos seemed to enjoy the car...

The Daytona in its new nest for its first night.

Special thanks to Hoss Leger for the use of his trailer.,

I think I have a proper Midland-Ross booster and then I'll address other things in the engine bay detail-wise; upper rad hose, routing of plug wires, etc.....

Operation "4 speed swap"

:cheers:




minimum 5 spd, but a .050 6spd is the way to go if you want that ride to see the other side of the 150 mph speedo

where? No place Ive ever driven, and if youre talking about a track or a closed course high speed run how often will that get done? Once or twice?

Dave I have a 440/6 w/a TKO 5spd .64 OD in my Daytona, and whether I'm on the track/course or public highway, I wring out the speedo any chance I get

If I do indeed keep the red wing, then it'll eventually get a manual tranny of some sort......

The red wing totally makes the black car.   

Ghoste

Doug is spot on, you gotta keep the red wing on there.
