I think with a little PB Blaster, and some good elbow grease it will clean up just fine.  :smilielol:


Okay so I'll admit it I am also that desperate if it is a real Daytona. But not $50K desperate for that one. I'd take it though, just to go out to the garage and stare at and say "I own a Daytona"

Peter's Car. 414630 is alive and well.  It is not the burnt car pictured.  I'd be interested to know what the VIN of this car is.  I know of one that was supposedly stolen from here in Ontario around 1981-1982.  But that cars VIN is not on any of the shipment lists.

I'll try to get some more info on the car today.  The guy is difficult to deal with because not only does he not know much about these cars, he isn't even the owner - the owner doesn't speak english so he is acting more like a translator than anything.  I had asked him numerous times for a pic of the car before it was burnt and he says they have none.  I find this hard to believe because the story is that it was in the new owner's family since it was new.  I can't believe in 38 years nobody would have taken at least one pic of the car.  Also when I asked him for a pic of the fender tag that he had said survived the fire, he faxed me a handwritten breakdown of a what a Daytona tag would read, and that is all he wanted to send.  I'll see what I can find out.

So what is the VIN or VON to the car that he faxed over? If it was a handwritten list of the fender tag, it would include those.

He also told me that the VIN and fender tag had survived and that the car was green w/white stripe, .......     He also couldn't tell me what the deal with the hood or the missing fender scoops(or the holes below them)




Could it be this car? Green/White, no fender scoops  :shruggy:

The chances of it being that green car are 1 in 150,000,000,000. The green car is alive and well, and definately not that one.

Almost looks like what I would have imagined a Daytona would look like if it was at the bottom of a lake for 30 yrs. So 69 500, I take it that the hemi Daytona your father looked at was not as bad as the pics that SPi posted?

That's the Playboy Daytona--Aug '69?  I don't remember which month.

No when he first looked at it, it was a complete and running car. I'd say that it was a high #2 car back in the early 80's that is before the fire though. Afterwords, not so nice. Still looking for the photo's the guy sent my dad after the fire.

SPi

So the guy that was trying to sell me this burnt Daytona finally got to me this morning.  He says that he has someone interested in buying the car and it should be gone by next week.  He still did not want to forward me anymore info on it.  He says he will contact me if the deal falls through and will offer me the car again for 40K.  I guess we will just have to wait to see where this car surfaces.

69_500

$40K? Hmmm, can someone please post a photo comparison of the Burnt Daytona from Texas that sold this spring, next to this one? Any chance its the same car?

I was wondering because both seem to be in the same price range, of $40K. Just wondering which would have been a better buy for that price.

The one that was as rusty as hell? The one that was on the trailer?? If thats the one you're talking about, I doubt they are the same car. :Twocents:

Read it again, I wasn't thinking they were the same cars. I was just wondering which would have been a better buy for $40K. Same price but to me I'd prefer the one in Texas.

I think with either car , you'd just be buying paperwork and a couple of body tags   :P

69_500

Everything can be fixed in todays world. Its just a matter of if you have that much time or money. Sure the easy way to fix both of those cars is a rebody, but the one from Texas was to me fixable without a rebody.

I don't know , to me neather one looked like they had much usable metal left on them . if  you replace 90 - 95 %  of the car, one panel at a time , I would fill like it is still a re body . That being said I think i would take the Canadian car , it has more frame and floorboard metal and i think the Texas car didn't have a fender tag or build sheet.
