Just saw a for sale add posted in the world of Facebook.  Seller claims the wing was installed at the dealership when new...  Was wondering if this was ever an actual offer?  Or is this just another outlandish claim in the world of Mopar?

"Factory Daytona Wing (installed)"

That does not say factory installed, or even dealer installed.

That was exactly what I was thinking.

Deduct $5,000 for the black engine compartment on a white car. :eek2:

Seller is saying it is an OEM wing.   He does not claim the factory installed it.

There was a flame war in the comments from the old add where he stated it was a dealer installed option from new.  :shruggy:

Didn't get a chance to copy it before the pissing contest resulted in that's group admins deleting the convo.

**Guess I should have stated that in the first place.  Have posted on the add asking for clarification.  Will share what the seller says.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

A dealer could have installed it, but without paperwork there's no sense in arguing, that's for sure.

Pretty cool car though. I like it

 true  dealer could of   ..but un less there is documentation saying  X dealer fitted Y wing to Z charger vin , it will always be a tall story !!   just out of curiosity , does the ad , list a vin ?  only from the pictures  , it looks like / got a couple of things that make it look like ,  its a early build 69 ... some time late 68 . I do not think Daytona parts would of  been available then  , from the dealer parts department  , in late 68 ...... :scratchchin:  :popcrn:


love  the centre line wheels on a second generation  :coolgleamA: :2thumbs:

I wouldn't trust that add at all. Especially if there's no documentation to validate the story. I've never heard of a standard 69 charger with a Daytona wing sold installed from the dealer.

I'd say to take it to pawn stars and see what they would say  :lol:

ht4spd307

i heard the opposite that dealers were removing the wing because they couldn't sell the Daytona cars  :shruggy:

It looks like after the flame war from his first original post he decided to change the description just to say factory wing. Dropping the dealership installed comment. He probably thought the mopar crowd would be stupid enough to fall for it but it backfired. I got a Question. Wouldn't a big motor like 440 dropped into a 68 GSS Dart by Mr Norms Grand Spaulding dealership be the same as just a dealership option & not factory?  LEON.

I like the armrest pad on the console lid. :2thumbs:
It's a first generation Charger console top.
Ah yes, that makes sense. I wonder if that was a dealer installed item on this car too, along with the wing. :icon_smile_big:

I was not able to find it on Facebook as it is a closed group, could someone tell me what the seller is asking.  I am guessing it is a bit overpriced.

Even if the wing was "dealer installed", with so called "paperwork", how does this make the car anymore special?....who cares, really?

Yeah just a dealership doing their stuff with the cars. Not factory....but desirable because of cool and the history factor.

Exactly correct.    Why do folks make claims without the proper documentation to back it up?   
All you have is hearsay.    :Twocents:
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

Thank you very much. Yea, I feel shes a bit high. . . . .  :scratchchin:

Dump the wing and fix the engine compartment she would not be a bad car.
