Been watching the Mecum auction, has the Daytona set a bench mark? appeared to be a low price.

It's a shame, the cars that were made in the 100's of thousands or millions like Camaro's, Chevelle's, Tri 5's & Mustang's bring big bucks (I have had a few myself, I'm not a hater) when the more rare Mopars that had much lower production numbers are almost all ways less desirable to the general public & collectors. You would think the lower production numbers would make them more desirable to avid car collectors. That's probably why I like Mopars as my 1st choice, I don't like to be like everyone else. Go to any show or race look at all the other makes & usually very few Mopars in comparison. :Twocents:

My Daytona looked grea from 5' away, but if you looked closely, you could see a bunch of flaws on the 20+ year old paint. The car ran great, but there were leaks, plus a lot of little stuff under the hood wasn't correct. My car has 61,000 miles & is numbers matching with ps, pdb, auto, console. From what I see in the pictures, I think that the auction car would be in the same condition as mine was. I paid less than 110K that for mine last August, but since that car is a a 4-speed, it is worth more. So, I think that the car sold for just about the right price given the climate today.

That was a great deal for the fact that it was a 4spd. Much more rare and it also looked to be in great shape. I would have bought that.

I believe the Daytona is now at Fastlane Classic Cars in St. Louis for Sale.....so far it is listed as a call for price.

Not to take away from the car, but when you see things like a painted fuel fuller tube & the funky PCV hose, it makes you wonder what else you'll find. I can imagine that the whole car needs to be gone through or that a full resto is needed. I know, I'm there myself.   :yesnod:

Looks to me more like the pcv is plumbed into some sort of tee before going off to the carb and the other end of the tee just has a bolt screwed into it to block it off.

And why would you need such a tee?  Seems to me it would be easier to run a straight line... :shruggy:

when you are working on something, and you dont have what you need, you head to the junk drawer, or parts box.  cobbling together vacuum lines, is nothing new. you do what you gotta do, to get by. not replacing something so easy, before a high visibility auction, is just being lazy.

I thought it might be something someone done to get it to pass tough Ca emissions back in the day. :Twocents:
