And it's probably been posted five times on EVERY Mopar message board. 

We already have a long thread for non-factory based wing cars.      Maybe it should get stickied.

first time I have seen this. I kind of like it. Would have liked it better in either red or orange or black. I do not like the tail lights or those turn signals in the front.

The thing is, that could never happen, because the Barracuda was too small to race.   Thus it would never be a candidate to be altered.  In general, I think that people who are fans of the fantasy cars may not understand the original intent of the Daytona and Superbird,  which was purely to be a fast race car.    

I can accept the convertibles because it is at least a B-body, AND they built the Supercharger.   I can accept the '71's because they were proposed.   Some of the other stuff I just don't relate to.

No there wouldn't be more available.   There were only enough of the money losers made to satisfy the rules to go racing,and that's it.    Sales or lack thereof was a secondary problem that the marketing people were told to deal with.   This is another example of not truly understanding the original program.    Although we might think they are cool, these cars were not made to look cool.   There were not made with the intent of selling them to make money.  They knew the cars would sell only to a fringe element of the car enthusiast base.

I understand completely it's a racing rules thing, that they needed to produce a specific number of units for sale to the public to be legal for use on the track Ford & Chrysler both, my point is just there aren't enough "real 1's to go around" so people make Clones & bastard versions of them to sooth themselves & pay homage to them...

Post by: Aero426 on November 25, 2011, 05:30:37 PM
It's hard to say how many more cars they would have to have built to erode the price of the factory cars today.   I am sure it is far more than the number of clones built or being built.   It's probably safe to say they could have doubled Daytona production and it wouldn't have any effect on the car values now.

If it means I am a hater to say that I think that thing is ugly then so be it.  I remember when liking or NOT LIKING was just a simple matter of persoanl taste.  But since I think that thing is hideous then go ahead and call me hater.  (wait a minute, wouldn't labelling me a hater also be the act of a hater????? what? wait that cant be)

Seriously though,  I dont find it attractive in any way and I sure as hell dont have a silver wing or anything else like that.  Good taste maybe but hardly a silver wing.

 hey ghoste,i said afew hater that alway put down and hate,clones and customs.because they dont have the holy grail vin#s.i think there is less than 2dozon custom off yr and model wings ever built.  most for a personal dream and lack of funds to buy the real # cars. or high cost of correct b body and all the clone parts and body work.
   
say500 daytonas and near 2000 superbirds is,,,was 2500 cars 40 years ago.how many real one still survive???????
 take over 10,000 members on this site alone plus all other site and people that want one.plus the cost today and the people that have 2,3 or more already,there is not enough even for the guy with the funds to jump and get one when they do come on the market.

Post by: Aero426 on November 27, 2011, 07:29:03 PM
I had a long reply typed yesterday, but I gave up.  So I will try again and keep it simple:

Minimum wheelbase for NASCAR Grand National was 115"   The Chrysler A-body is 111" wheelbase.  So your fantasy car could not race.

Making money on the cars was not an objective.  They just had to get the minimum built as the special program was a large PITA for everyone on the production side.

Even if NASCAR turned the rules upside down,  why would Chrysler spend millions of dollars on a performance package for the lowest car in the line?    

I've never heard of a B-body referred to as a fat boat, being a mid-size car for the time.

Post by: djcarguy on November 27, 2011, 07:42:50 PM
    i said mid to late 70 they were trying to race those fat 75 and up bodies,.  what was wheelbase rule for lumina's and that crap in the 80es..now front drive,4door ,camarys and others like it.. yes hard to even compare the real cars of yester year with the front drive junk they make so called  race cars of today.

   just day dreaming ,40 years after the fact bout a body race cars .did not take in rules and facts 40 yrs to late anyway.       take care ,hope we can all build and enjoy our toys.

Nascar didn't change the wheelbase on the "Winston Cup" cars until 1981.

YES it is all DAYCLONA's fault,for putting wings and noses on other year cars??///   TOTALLY KIDDING ,,,, wings and putting them on other years and models has been going on sence the 1st wing car was sold and parts from dealer or crashed cars became available.
     Personally i lov the 71es and glad mike and friends could see out side the tiny box .take a chance and ran with it to build the 71es from pictures and info 30 plus years old and forgotten.thanks the 71es and all winged cars are great to get the imagination flowing. to me one off and customs just add to the picture ,not harm or devalue real # match winged ,areo cars in anyway.  thanks just my :Twocents: :Twocents: :Twocents: :Twocents: :Twocents:

Which isn't to take away from him at all.

Is that the original or a well done copy?

It's one of the originals, If I remember correctly three were built with one being destroyed for the movie.
(Of interest is the George Barris markings on the car.........he didn't build it...Korky's Customs did)

Actually, that is true as he did reproduced a third "Monkeemobile" while doing a restoration/resto-mod on one of the two originals.  I guess the point is the original designer/builder never seems to be mentioned, it's always a "Barris" Custom.  Case in point is the Monkeemobile, when it was released in Die-Cast it had Barris's name on the box....didn't see Dean Jeffries name, the original designer/builder anywhere on the box.  I guess it's a case of using The Barris name because he is promoting the cars, and his name is more popular to the general public.....as in the Batman Car, Monster Coach,  etc......
Just sad that those who actually built the orginals are not named................

It's been mentioned several times before but Barris is also very well known for taking credit for cars he had nothing to do with.  His brother did nearly all of the barris customizing.  George has always been much more of a (self) promoter than a doer.

Thanks Troy for stating what several of us relative new guys think. We haven't been members for years and don't always do a search of old topics to see if they were posted, so lighten up on us-I know it has kept me from posting almost anything. On the other hand-this is a pretty ugly 68 charger/70 superbird piece of crap!

Seriously?  you never saw this?  You're on here every day, and someone bumped one of the previous threads which, before you posting this, had 58 replies between November 24th and February 15th?  I mean, good for you that you were spared three months of retina searing, but it seems weird, you know?


and for the rest of you 'helpers,' nine days' worth of threads put this car all the way back to page two.

Maybe a kindly mod could merge these trainwrecks onto a single track?  At least reduce the collateral damage.
Then again, someone will just make a new one about it in a few weeks.  It really is this horrid isn't it?

Unfortunately a very true statement.  Some of the regulars go to great lengths to purge certain images from our minds - and apparently a few of those attempts are more successful than others.

Yes. If that was real money, it would be a more than fair bid.
