Looks like a 500 was at the nats over the weekend
A friend of mine was there and sent me pics of it, the VIN is XX29L9B210745. Yellow with a green interior. Really rough
Thanks

Here are some better pics, the glass was fogged over, so they couldn't get a shot of the vin, but they wrote it down. In an old MCG, Govier said he has the buildsheet for it.

Was the car for sale or just at the show to look at ??
I added basic info and URL link to the registry sheet. The VIN was listed, but there was no known info on the car.
Thanks for posting this :cheers:

I hope their tetanus shots were up to date.
I saw it in person, that thing is shot. I'm not sure if there's one salvageable panel on it...I didn't look underneath but I think I can guess what it looks like...
OMG...
Y2 yellow and and green guts, and I was worried about F8 green with black guts...DOH :scratchchin: :scratchchin: :scratchchin:
Thanx for coming in.
If this wonderful Charger 500 is 'actually for sale', my UK Moparmate would love to 'take her on'... :pity: :pity: :pity:
Any leads greatly appreciated and accepted... :popcrn: :popcrn: :popcrn:
Kind of reminds me of, Bob Brown's UK Daytona. (yes its a REAL Daytona)... :eek2:
Back when Charger's (1980's), were either YELLOW or RED!
At least the rusty C-500 has matching wheels, but less paint though... :2thumbs:
This picture was taken when you could 'drag race' whilst folks ate 'Donuts and beer' without a BARRIER in between... :shruggy: :slap: :rotz:
(The two 'black-top' lanes are in the foreground) at an old WW2 airfield, we had loads of 'em???
Bob Brown is doing a return run back to the starting line for another ELEVEN second run. (aerodynamics at work methinks)?
Just think how much faster it would be with a nose-cone??? :coolgleamA:
Found this pic of the ONLY UK Daytona, with a nose!
Must be at the world famous Brooklands meet.
The world's first banked 'closed circuit' track...
But the Germans ruined it for us and started another stupid WAR!!! :slap: :rotz: :brickwall:
Wingcars at Brooklands UK
This is the only piece of the 'banked track' left after the WW2 debacle... :RantExplode:

If I'm not mistaken, the yellow Daytona in the UK belongs to a member here on dc.com- "chubby53"

Hi Guys,
I got tired of asking Bob ''how much'' for the yellow Daytona, all through the 80's and 90's.
He never really understood about 'Mopar Lovers' like me and others in the UK!
So in the early 2000's I gave up and went looking for a C-500... :pity:
Then about 5 years ago, I go to see a Chevy/biker/hotrod guy in Horsham to buy some 426 hemi parts and he had bought her... :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall:
So I asked him how he managed to buy the infamous UK Daytona from Bob Brown???
Chubby said '' it was easy, I just waved pound notes in front of him''...(who would have thought/)
Money talks, Mopar lovers walk...
Yep, he sold 'her' after about a month or two... :shruggy: :scratchchin: :slap:
Another wing picture at Brooklands UK.
You can really see the steepness of the concrete track here!
Plus you can also clearly see the weight of the HEMI in Pete's Daytona (Troy's), pressing on the side-wall of the front tyre... :coolgleamA:
Rusty 500 sold 15 500

Love the black wheels I have now, but there's something about those color-matched steelies as well........ That UK license plate still remains with the car, I have it hanging in my garage.....
Tyres need some letters though, especially on a NASCAR!
Which C500 sold for $15,500, xx29?
Rusty green or very-rusty yellow?
Fancy leaving a 'water-bottle' on the rear quarter!
Could have dented it... :2thumbs: :smilielol: :slap:
The Green one actually sold for 16k.
Update: the car was at the Holley Moparty in Bowling Green KY, here are pics
OMG a Charger 500 Drag car, how coolio... :drool5: :drool5: :drool5:
How did it get SO rusty?
My long time Moparmate realises that he has ''missed the boat'' for a Charger 500!
Rusty wreck Charger 500's are dearer than running and driving R/T's now... :horse:
