I don't see any wiring to the ballast resistor.
I know the engine compartment is by no means correct, but is it missing wiring ??

Not sure I like the welded up nose look...

[65post]

It looks like a real solid car.Though a little naked with no wheel well chromes.

A little electrical tape can fix that.

Good question, I'm sure someone out there knows the history on this car...

Pardon my ignorance but what are those screens in the second to last pic in the auction?
From the fender scoops?

I would say those are the fender pod screens. They look like them to me. What is laying under them though? Parts of the original fenders or something else??

[Charger-Bodie]

Looks like someone bolted a stel plate to the screens to stop (slow down) the slop from spraying out onto the fender top. Maybe those flopped and the weld came loose holding the screens in place?

Same owner for many years.     Check out how old Galen's business card is with the Rapid Pack designation.   

[maxwellwedge]

Yes and EN2 on the decode is "Only A Guess" !!

I looked up its vin and dealer I got the dealer ad for this.The Charger ads read Mr Idlertons personal car is a 69 daytona.
Car has a 70 dual snorkel air cleaner and Direct connection valve covers with part number on top.And straight head screws holding on fender tag

[Magnumcharger]

In this day and age, I can't fathom a person leaving a Daytona Charger with 70's -era modifications like a molded-in nosecone. It defies logic.
The paintjob is terrible too. Look at the overspray on the cowl, and that trunk is unforgivable.

The worst part: even with all of the above (which would cost copious $$$ to correct) the car is still bloody rare and desireable!!

Which means we're all suckers for a big nose!!

[held1823]

it's easier to fathom, when you remember that not everyone is in to them, for the money. a long-time owner wouldn't have to worry about it hurting the return on his purchase price.

Y2 cars seem to like photo shoot by barns

How do those screens install? I don't see any holes for screws or bolts on them.

Also is that a fuel pump just below them?

[WINGIN IT]

Auction description notes this is a "second chance offer" auction. I don't recall seeing this one before.
So what's the opinion on WIW in it's current condition?

[nascarxx29]

WIW $125K-$140K  Didnt find the car on the guys website .
