Pair of daytona's

[chargerman69]

Here are the two Daytonas that once rested alongside the bronze Hemi Charger 500 in the KC area. Both were rescued in the early 80's. The B5 blue car has been restored. These cars were not salvage vehicles. They were part of a group of cars being lot stored
The person who bought the two Daytonas only really wanted the red one and was not crazy about the blue car. But he had to buy both Daytonas to do the deal. I don't think he regrets it today. At the time, he did not realize the blue on blue combination was more rare. both are column shift cars

yup the cars are well known on this site

Amazing how the window molding on the wing cars went missing even back then...

I posted that on Facebook a week ago.   I am amazed it took this long to make it here.

not wanting to  Hijack  away from the aero / Daytona thread  that picture you posted ,  looks like a sunroof  in the bronze 69 charger  in the foreground

[Aero426]

Kyle Drake or MoparJohn may remember the other Charger.    There was a lot of conversation about these cars back in the day.  I don't remember any talk about a sunroof.   But anything is possible.   It has been a long time.

kyle had a  charger parts car for years with a sunroof  but i was thinking it was a Dark green car
I think wayne still has the complete roof off it . If i remember correctly 

[dads_69]

here is the hemi 500

That's identical to the 500 that was here over 20 years ago that I bought the roof/rear window off of. Almost same color, weird..It was a 440 car here though and sadly, long gone.

I spied that too!      I agree - a rarer car than a Daytona!   I know that now - parted one out in the 80s....

chargerman69,
Thanks for the original post and picture of our Daytonas sitting in the junkyard! I would like for you to send me a copy of that picture to my e-mail address at moparjohn@frontier.com . I would have replied to this post sooner but my wife Linda and I just returned from a trip to buy more parts for BOTH of those Daytonas!!
 Someone mentioned Kyle Drake and he is the guy that informed me of the Daytonas when they went up for sale. I had met Kyle at a DSAC meet in the late 70's when I owned 3 Superbirds and found out that they had made the Daytonas! I told a lot of people back then that I would like to but a Daytona and sell a Superbird! When the cars in this group went up for sale Kyle bought the HEMI 500 in the pictures. Unfortunately Kyle had a bad fire and lost several cars including the 500! Yes, I didn't want that blue Daytona with the bent up back end from someone trying to pry the trunk. We think they were after the wing because they came back and got the one off the Blue Daytona! The red Daytona also had pry damage! The salvage yard owner removed the wing off the red Daytona and I was supposed to get it. It was never found at the yard! The other Charger was a 1969 bronze sunroof car as I remember! Another rare car in it's own right!
In fact all the cars in this group were rare or limited production vehicles! Some of the others include a Studebaker Hawk, A Lincoln Continental hardtop like president Kennedy had and some 2 seat T birds! These cars were there for so long they got moved around the yard and all received payloader damage on the corners and undersides! Also more and more parts came up missing even though no parts were to be sold off these cars!
Thanks! MOPAR JOHN

Kyle replied and agrees that it was a sunroof car.   He says, "Yes it did. I bought the car and gave the sunroof to Wayne Perkins. It was an A/C 383 auto console shift car."

John, I have the original of that photo.  I can get you a hard copy if you like.   There are several different shots of the cars.
