Title: 1969 Daytona Registry
Post by: Homerr on March 07, 2016, 04:34:35 PM
Ok, it's here - as a work in progress - this is just as far as I've gotten so far.  I've scoured the net and I'm sure there is some old/erroneous information here.  I'm far from being an expert on them but I have more to add.  The goal here is the same as the C500 list - document the cars, not the owners - as an open document.  

Link to spreadsheet:
1969 Daytona Registry (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eqbINFf9lxR2ofXmsvAvtFtlp-0N9CA7KoPwlKYJMw4/edit?usp=sharing)


If you have pics such as an overall shot, VIN and fender tags, engine, interior, trunk, and possibly 'back in the day' type pics I'd love to link them in the registry.  Send to:

1969chargerdaytonaregistry@gmail.com

(Please include a VIN in the email about the car you are referencing, TY!)


Right now the Google Sheet is open to commenting.  Right click on a cell and add a comment.  Sort any column by right clicking at the top of it.

I'm open to adding moderators who know Daytonas and would like to help with this project, send me a PM.



The Rules:

1.  Do not share owner information - no names, phone numbers, or addresses more specific than a state.  This includes previous owners.  This is about documenting Charger 500's, not the owner.

2.  Information posted should be of the publicly available sort.  It should be info acquired by internet searches, viewing at car shows, car ads, forum postings by owners, etc.  If in doubt get the owner's permission before posting.

3.  Only change information you know to be incorrect.  Only add info you know to be correct.  No hearsay or 'I guy I know told me...' stuff, try to have photo resources, research, or first-hand knowledge of what is being posted.  Post photo links and source links if you can.

Great job on the list Homerr!!  I see that it shows only one car having been sold new in Mississippi (Car 356129).  If this is the car I believe it is, the owner lives about 5 miles from me.  I'll have to check with him to see if it is indeed his car.  Years ago he told me that the car was sold new here in Jackson, which is why he wanted to "bring it back home" from the previous owner in Louisiana.  I'll let you know what I find out.

Terrific, thanks! If anybody out there has any photos of my Q5 turquoise Daytona, I would be very appreciative if you would share them with me! Especially if anybody has any "old" photos of the car, from the 70s or something.

I have seen all of those threads/pictures, but thank you! Believe me, I have searched the forum for all of the q5/turquoise Daytona threads. I was hoping somebody out there had some photos of it back before the restoration, such as when it was painted plum crazy, or supposedly painted white with a brush.

Again, thank you. When I first posted that I bought this car, Ed chimed in, and offered to dig up the photos that he had of the car, and then he never did. Then I messaged him a few times, politely asking him again, and he never responds.  :brickwall:

I think your entry of 408029 may be a typo, and should be 409029 ( you show this one at the end ). 409029 is T5, T5, C6T sold from Utica.
I have the sheet for 409030 and it too was T5, T5, C6T.
Maybe someone can confirm.

I read that info from the WW copy of the ship list published in the newsletter? That version of the list shows no 408029 VIN and the rest of the info you show on that car shows up on that list corresponding to 409029.
I noticed a few of the destinations and dates missing, I take it your copy of the list was rather illegible? The copy I have in the newsletter is not too bad so rather than post here multiple times I can send you a PM with what my copy states in the "blanks".

99% sure 163 381551 is a 440 auto, Q5 on black.  Danny can chide me but I don't have my friends' VINs memorized...

I would love to know if this can be confirmed, because I've never seen or heard of another Q5 car with black interior (although it would make sense that there is one or two out there). I've seen pictures of the one with the white interior, and heard of one with tan interior.

Ok, I changed 408029 to 409029 and updated it to XX29L9B.

FWIW I understand that probably all the cars on the registry that only have the VON and not the whole VIN yet will end up being XX29L9B cars.  I just update as I run across data showing that, yes indeed, they are XX29L9B.

Thanks- yes, that is the one I was referring to. So there is this one, the one with the white interior, the one in the barn in Illinois (? 4-speed car, uncertain which color interior), and mine (black interior with white stripe/wing),  confirmed. Would love to know of confirmation of others.

In blue just means a hyperlink to photos.

XX29L9Bxxxxxx = I've at least run across some sort of info that validates the car and input it.

xxxxxx = I don't have info/haven't yet input info/haven't found any info.


You guys more in the know will see some errors slowly get fixed.  I started with that shipping list and it had a couple of oddities that I learned about and corrected over the weekend.  I'm sure there are more corrections to be made.  I'm sifting through all the info and trying to update it in chronological order so that I don't replace a newer correction with an older error.

Wow, I might actually be able to help!  I know there were attempts for this in the past, but they didn't seem to reach critical mass.  Hopefully this attempt will.

Over the years I've collected mostly fender tag images of some Daytonas.  I know that it is possible to have a fender tag reproduced, so I can't guarantee the accuracy of these images.  And maybe somebody already has these, so if they are duplicates I apologize.

Also, I had previously worked on a little program to search a fender tag database and return percentages.  Such as A11 = 100%, and was working on adding more options, such that you could find out how many A01 cars had a black interior C6X.  I abandoned it a few years ago, but I'll try to find it again and get it working.  I was at the point where I thought it worked but needed to input fender tag information, even just test information, but I got distracted and didn't follow-up with it.

Here is one fender tag, hopefully this will help.  I'm not sure if I can type the information into the registry, but I'll let Homerr do at least the first one since he is in charge of it.  I'll try to post some more if this is helpful.

OK,here is another one, XX29L9B410769.  What is strange is that the Registry has the other pictures I've saved, but doesn't have the Fender Tag, which I'm thinking I must have gotten at the same time.  So I don't know if there is something about the fender tag that is questionable, and definitely not saying I think there is anything questionable because I wouldn't know, but here is what I have:

There is a picture of it next to my Daytona on page 37 of my B5 Daytona story reply dated FEB 14th 2011!
If there are archive MECUM results photos there may be more out there?

I've reached a milestone, I've now been through all 166 pages here in the Aero section hunting down info.  The spreadsheet now represents what I could distill from a reasonable amount of looking.  I purposely did not construct any other material on the side like owner name histories or license plate history.  I've still tried to keep it about the cars and not the owners.  But a few owners seem to have out-shined their cars, Joe Dirt I'm looking at you.

I'd like to think that with publishing all this info the cars will not only recorded for history, but ultimately be better kept so that clones or rebodies don't get passed off as originals.  I've filled in the remaining VIN codes in column A and a google search will land on the spreadsheet.  At this point there is at least some basic info for all but 100 of the cars.  There are photos of 153 of them.

Thanks everyone that has helped and had input, directly on this project or indirectly through the forums.  Thanks to nascarxx29 for being on top of all things Daytona here for years.  Thanks to tan top for saving pics.  Thanks to Aero426, hemigeno, Mopar John, 69_500, C5X DAYTONA, Troy, held1823, and many more of you for keeping the history and stories of these cars alive.

Over the last few weeks I've found myself pleasantly surprised with the more outlandishly painted Daytonas.  Previously they 'weren't my thing'.  I really have ended up liking most all of the 70's paint jobs, though they must have been the 'bling' of the era!  Some iconic cars that have been restored back to stock seem kind of boring in a way.

On the flip side, I had to limit my re-reading of the OE Gold car threads because I absolutely get drawn in to the arcane level of detail, correctly dated parts, and factory/Creative process.  I also really like a 100% factory car.

I'll be checking over the work as best I can in the next few days.  Feel free to set me straight on any errors!

(Anybody good at translating French?)

Here is the youtube video of Jacques Duval test driving the Hemi Daytona:

And does anyone think it would be worthwhile to have somebody attempt to contact people from these old discussions to see if they might still have the actual photos, which would hopefully be in color?

Here is a fender tag photo, but with the VIN blanked out.  However, the order # is 926058, so I think one of the experts can match it:

I think it was from dodgecharger.com from 2007-02-18, but I haven't searched for it now to see if there is more information.  Once again, hopefully somebody here will remember.

my own tag has seen better days.

interesting note about the car- dad worked for Chrysler at the time, and through work got wind of these cars being built. he told the dealership (where his '68 coronet r/t had come from) that he wanted one, and was told no problem, they'd get it for him. with so few being built, there was no discussion about colors, options, etc., as dad assumed it would be a "take what i can get" scenario. i have no idea if the car was ordered prior to allocation, or was simply diverted from one area to another. if the latter, it could as easily have been a hemi four speed car, but perhaps not been the best color combo, at least in my biased opinion.

XX29L9B355126 is duplicated as #132 and #154 on the ship list.

Is there any consensus about a correction to this?  And correct dealer/city for the corrected data?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this or not, but I just happened to stumble across an orange 69 Charger Daytona in the small town of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.  I would assume this car is accounted for in the registry, but in the rare instance it's not, I can ask the owner if he'd mind sharing the car's info with the registry.  The car is located at "Muscle Car Pit Stop", which is owned by Vince Jacob (not sure if he owns the Daytona, or if it's a customer car).  Anyway, just thought I'd share this here in case it's of interest to anybody.

Those discussions are from a Quebec forum that I participate in and is still active. The pictures with Mr. Duval standing next to the car are from a printed annual book, Le Guide de L'Auto, don't think the originals are still available...
As for the car, it was officially scrapped in Quebec after an engine compartment fire and lost some parts while at the scrapyard, the wing is supposedly still here... The shell then resurfaced as the red car with no wing or nose. It is still in Canada, being restored, I hear...

i'm just glad to see some headway on a more complete list. i started trying to build one years ago, but haven't had time to work on it for the last year or two.

the I.T. guy at work drives a scat pack challenger, and loves to talk mopar. We have batted around the idea of him creating a template that allows searching by individual codes, as well as adding color like i had on my old excel list. no idea if it will lead anywhere, so it's nice to help expand the effort here. for those who have never attempted to compile a list like jeff has done here, know that it is a daunting task.

jeff, once i have a chance to sort through 28,000 or so photos all dumped into one folder, i'm certain i have info on several more to send your way.

john, i need to catch up with you regarding our conversation from a year or so ago. should you recall the gist of it, it could be the time.

A couple more photos of a fender tag, this time for XX29J9B409076, aka The Jim Radke Hemi Daytona (as it seems these cars will always belong to their "back in the day" owners  :yesnod:)

There are also a couple more photos available, two showing the car when it was Petty Blue (if that's the right guess for the color) and one when it was either unrestored or getting ready to be restored, but I think they've already been submitted.

Homerr,

Could you add some data to XX29L9B355123? The exterior color is V2 with a black interior and black wing. Mark Worman from GYC is restoring this Daytona and pulled the touch up paint (V2) out of the glove box and went over the car in detail. I'm sure some others from the forum seen the episode and could add some other option codes as well. Tony D'Agostino verified this as original paint (V2) and interior (Black) on the same episode.

A01 A11 A36 B41 B51 C16

Title: Re: 1969 Daytona Registry
Post by: bannedbird on November 29, 2019, 06:23:32 PM
I think a "survivor" term applies to both a Day 1 and Day 2 car.

I like being able to see these Day 2 Survivors I got to know when I first joined the Aero community.  I'd have to call one that is still around from the 1970's a Survivor.  Loosing any to a Day 1 restoration is like loosing that comfortable flannel shirt I've had for decades (even if in no longer fits!).

Surely...by definition...there is no such thing as a day two survivor. If it's not the same as it left the factory...with possible the exception of localised paint repair due to day to day damage...then it's not a survivor...and since it's (the blue Daytona) not original I think it's the prefect candidate for a restoration. But to be fair, although I can't see the interior, it does not lol like it needs much to be a nice driver as it is....wrong colour or not......but it no survivor...imo. :lol:
Title: Re: 1969 Daytona Registry
Post by: bannedbird on November 30, 2019, 06:15:25 PM
We agree to disagree alfaitalia ... LOL.  I'm okay with it (see below).

I have a 400 mile car made in 1975. Still has factory applied window sticker on it, and it is Day 1.  But I would hesitate to call that a "survivor".  It had a pretty sheltered life and I think Museum Piece is more appropriate.  It didn't do much to "survive".

But, on another hand, I do agree with alfaitalia that my 400 mile car did "survive" any Day 2 modifications.  Hence, Day 1 survivor vs Day 2 survivor. But a car painted some "MOD" (i.e. "flower child friendly") paint scheme in 1971 that is still wearing those colors today has to be recognized for surviving this long.  It is a part of MOPAR Aero Car history.  That's all I'm getting at.  Cheers!

I think my opinion falls somewhere between the two.  If it retains nearly all of the original parts and sheet metal, I think of it as a survivor and I think of Day Two as minor changes such as aftermarket wheels.  A complete color change seems a bit much for my definition of survivor.  Perhaps we have come to survivors and "original" survivors?

It's a shame that any Daytona that has a 70s paint job, wheels, tires, etc. be returned to "original".   

WHY??     Hundreds of "original" looking cars already restored!    Like we need another??   

At this point, you have a car that is different, unique, one of a kind.  A time capsule from another decade. 

I'd vote to keep it that way.    Besides, you can save the resto money for retirement.   :scratchchin:

Thinking about this subject the other day when this painting of a vintage guitar surfaced.     In the case of the guitar,  not only would restoration devalue it, it would make it "uncool".   All the stories are gone.   Not only that, it would generate more than a little side eye from your peers.    Yet with muscle cars, if it isn't a bone stock survivor, or a beautiful restoration,  there is little room for preservation of what is, and the path most often seen is restoration to a level it never had when new.

What's a corvette?      :smilielol:     Sounds like Corvette folks should run for office: what a razzmatazz scam!!!     

I like "back in the day" modified cars. Something done a day or year or so from NEW.  Hell, that's 45+ years ago!    To take a time capsule like that and restore it to "original", which a car NEVER can be if it's been restored, is awful!

On a side note I saw a video where a guy was inspecting a Daytona Charger and he mentioned that they all had wood grain dash inlays.  Yet I see most of the guys building clones with a black dash.  Were the originals equipped with wood grain dashes or black or could they be either?

Only ones with wood grain inlays are SE cars.

Caught up through today on posts here.  Added pics for a dozen or so Daytonas.

As you may have noticed I've not had time to maintain the registries.  I have made partner in the business I'm at and am now buying the business, hence the lack of attention here.

I know google has broken links over time and several of you have messaged about cars, but the registry should be considered not maintained after June 2022.  The site will stay up as-is but I am also providing a link below to all the content currently there including the pictures and spreadsheet in hopes that someone else can take it to the next level.
