"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."

Tim,
Thanks for saving this Daytona! It had to go half way around the world to be saved!
I looked at it for a long time at the Mopar Nationals in the swap meet one year and was
trying to decide what would need to be done in order to save it? Glad you did it!

HI Tim, It was nice to meet you and your father at Chryslers on The Murray, very impressive car. Its been a long time since I have seen a car restored to that standard, well done. :cheers: Makes my 70 RT look ordinary :icon_smile_big: Hopefully see you there next year.
Max.

Thanks everyone for the comments  :cheers:, I believe the car ended up coming to the right home...

This weekend gone, the Daytona made the first trip under it's own power in a looong time. We traveled from central Victoria to Chryslers on the Murray and did over 1000kms (600 miles) without any issues. The GV overdrive made a big difference to the highway driving. People were good with the car and it turned a lot of heads even in the town. Was nice to meet and talk with all the people, I don't think I've ever talked so much in my life :o

Good weekend, thanks to the boys that convoyed back to Melbourne with me in the rain!

Tim.

I assume your talking about the photo next to the stairs. I had someone watching with both those parks, remember, the wall won't open its doors into me!

Glass is all the original glass from that car except the windshield, which was never with the car.
