Anybody know what happened to that 69 white Daytona with no plug /red stripe and an R/T emblem in the back? Anybody have the picture? I was wondering if anybody ownes that car. :2thumbs:

If you are talking about the Charger that was cobbled up as a photo shoot car that Chrysler used, it likely no longer exists.     I personally doubt it ever made it outside captivity.

xx29440charger

I remember seeing a picture of that car on this website...but I can't find it....does anybody know what thread it was in?

There is 1 on a track with a girl posing with it that shows the non plug and R/T emblem. :icon_smile_wink:

nascarxx29

I got a few magazine article on that mystery white car and prototype daytona
And in another 69 vintage magazine road test they show the mold and the glass nose prototype car in the studio.With model Sandra Quinn posing in front of the mold.Which lead some early magazine editors. And probably when it was in its earliest development stages to believe fiberglass was to be used on the front end. I recall reading in the supercars book where the automotive press was invited to view a prototype daytona with a glass nose and wing.April  69.And that they used a ((500)).But I only recall seeing in the magazines .

That white mule car with 3 hood pins pasted on reflectors taped out headlights etc etc .And it didnt have a flush rear window as a 500

 

There was a post that guy s mom worked at Bill Strange dodge and drove and owned that white mule car he claimed .But was just rumored never showed any proof

If you look very carefully at the three cars at the bottom of the page, you'll see that the car on the right and the car on the left both say "Daroo II" on the license plate.  Same car, front and rear view.

The white Daytona had an aluminum wing but the nose was glass with black pin striping for head lights.

yes looks the same !! good detective work  :2thumbs: 
that joggd my memory
just dug out  & had a look in my copy of the supercar book !   where i'm thinking there is a higher angle shot of the sales ad mock up car with  the water tower ,   !!  was thinking it was like  the daytona picture  on the oppsite page  :scratchchin: looking like i got confused with the two pictures  :-\
sure there is another picture floating about  with the sales ad mock up car on  the high banking ?? remember seeing a front driver side & top shot  :scratchchin:
