Just came across it today.

What a sweet ride :drool5:
Seems to be undergoing a resto here:
http://www.spi-performance.com/
Look under restorations and click on the Daytona to see the progress!
Dave
They make it awful hard to view those pictures don't they? Or at least I couldn't get the bottom half of the page to enlarge to view the entire photo without scrolling down and up.
It'll be nice to see that beauty of a Daytona come together...
Call me odd, but I wish it was still the same as when it left Dave's. I know it wasn't the prettiest, but there was plenty to take in and enjoy the details.
I agree. Personally I would have got all the mechanicals done, cleaned up the best I could and then drive.
I bet it would get more atttention unrestored than restored.
Dave
Thanks Beep Beep Dave it was for along time untouched as I bought it and I started it up.And left things as they were.Its not untouched now it looks .looking forward to see how it looks when completed.Thanks for the update
Thanks Dave for the pics. I would of got it running and then drove it as-is....unless the frame rails were rusty then I would restore it. :Twocents:
And just think for $350k one of us can own it. They have been advertising the car in the Autotrader up here since they got it. I emailed to see what they were asking for it when completed and $350K was the answer.
No strucural rust just the usual in the trunk and around the backwindow.Most of the rust was from being in less than a carport type garage on the east coast.But it was a untouched 22K mile car.Still retained all factory equipment down to the hoses belts exhaust system spark plug wires etc etc .I changed out the champion J11Ys.And changed the maintence items oil and antifreeze and bypassed the original fuel pump that leaked.With a mini electric one .And nothing much anything else.Thats what the pink fuel pump wire going to fusebox is showing on the interior shot at the resto shop.And the day the buyer came he started it up and drove it up on the trailer

$350k WoW
I am glad Dave got good money for the car, it best be the best restored Daytona ever if they hope to get close to that :yesnod: :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:
Thanks for the update Matt!
Hey Dave your welcome!!!
Dave
As soft as the market is now, I doubt they'll get that kind of money for the car. I think it might be a while before the market turns back around. I've seen some pretty good deals on cars lately.
QuoteI agree. Personally I would have got all the mechanicals done, cleaned up the best I could and then drive.
:yesnod: me too
I offered him 125 k for it
i would totally rock those scat pack decals on my wing...
Doug those scat pack decals are available from WW member/PCG Dave P who traced those to reproduce when he examined the car in detail he recorded by tracing and photographing many parts of the car and showed me many factory correct details.My original owner told me he got talked into joining the scat pack club.For a newsletter called scat news.You recieve a patch and etc goodies some I still have.He seen a daytona at Kardon motors NJ.And waited for Quaker City dodge to get theirs in. Which all documents show arrived 4-25-70. He stopped using the car as insurance caught up with it not being a regular charger as he led them to believe.He told me intersting tales that he drove that car to Trenton NJ to go see and film races. And was asked you here to race.And got caught speeding with it in some small town.And the cop escorted him directly to the judges house for the fine.His prior mopar car includes a 48-49? town and country conv 60 300 G 77 Imperial 80? Mirada and turbo K car town and country station wagon.He drove the daytona all over NJ De and Cinn Ohio visiting family. Parked since 1977.Where it was discovered by my longtime car buddy friend Carl who accompanied me there.As we were both hunted down many area cars.And we were led to believe the rumor there was a superbird in a bad part of Camden NJ.Which his job in law enforcement gave him safe access to look out for while on patrol..A area I rarely ventured into.The other superbird that lived one block away was the Don Horrow motors B5 blue 4 speed 6 pack car another guy I later met ended up with.Thats my old cars life story .It will start a new life and history when restoration is complete

nice story wish they would have left it alone also
$350K once done? Your kidding right? It had better be the nicest restored Daytona anywhere for that kind of a figure. I doubt it will be though.
No joke. That's what they told me. And just think, that's Canadian bucks too. You can now add roughly 8% to that figure to get you USD amount. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What happened to the good old days when $100K Canadian was like $85K US. :icon_smile_wink:
Thankfully they are gone for the time being. :2thumbs:
I'm guessing this was cut out to fit a '70 front lens and housing?
I think the orig owner wanted side markers because the car is a land Yacht!!! I converted my orig makers to LED lighting !!!!but they look stock , not a hack job !!!!!
My original owner had someone install 70 marker lights.To replace reflectors.When a daytona is making a turn.The only lights are behind the nose grill
I dont see a wingcar as a land yacht Heres a yacht I found in my town with creative industries origins.

You have a sensitive side? :icon_smile_big:
That car wasnt worth 350 k when the market was to the moon ! What do you guys Think ? Keep in mind the blue Daytona sold for I think less than that , and that was an super low mile unrestored car
Which blue Daytona are you talking about? The one with the vinyl top?
I think they were asking a bit more than that figure for Elmer's car, but I don't think he got it either, and it was by far a lower mileage car. Less than 400 miles I think total.
Vinyl top Daytona ??????????? B-5 , white tail
This one?
Or were you talking about the Bill Card Daytona? Because it was restored.
No cupcake , it was just for sale , I think never registered or some crap like that
:icon_smile_wink:
The one and the same car as mentioned above then. Not the one in the photo, but the other one. I do believe that neither one of them was registered though, the one pictured, and Bill's car.
As odd as it was for my old car come to the surface.Today I get a email from the buyer its been over a 1 year and havent heard a thing from.And is looking for additional parts
Yes I said I seen the car on the website Beep Beep Dave showed.And asked to see completed finished pictures for my collection
What pieces was your car missing Dave? Or what are the intending on replacing, that isn't in a repairable state of being?
I shipped a bunch of parts for that car last month

Do you guy's really think that car will bring 375k ???? 150 k tops !!!!!!
Thanks for updated pictures SPI.Keep them coming Im saving them.Nice to see my old daytona getting its makeover.But I know alot of cars going around after 20+ years are not factory correct untouched all #s matching with owner history and extensive documentation.Its a original R4 Red with white interior/stripe whiteline tires and deluxe hubcap car.Parked in 77 with 22K miles.Cant say what it will command .Looking forward to seeing its completed pictures.And any factory reference pictures taken during disassembly
I woild like to see the pictures of the smashed nosecone
The original nose cone installed by creative and never removed or replaced. If they fix it put a section in etc? .Or replace it with a NOS one a quality metal repo one its their choice .You can still document it had its original.I know of alot of actual wingcars wearing fiberglass ones.Due to the originals were unprotected and very vulernable to damage never rust proofed it recieved thin overspray primer .Usually arent still around after 20+ years in any condition

Too bad you never restored it in the 20 years you owned it !!

Larry, what's worse is that you or I didn't end up with it. :icon_smile_big:
You mean whats worse is that I didn't wind up with it.
The car was 5 min from house ! I would have never paid that much for it ! OK car , all orig , needed a total redo ! Couldn't see doing a 40 k resto when car is maybe worth 150 in this market !!
Thats the difference between you and me though. i would have paid that much for the car, and I don't care what it would be worth after restored. I honestly don't care if I can't sell my 500 for $50 in 20 years. I didn't buy it for an investment. I bought it because I LOVE THESE CARS. Not that I just like them for now, and in a few years will find something new to like, but that I'll still like the same cars in 50 years. I would have bought it, and let it be for many more years.
It sold for a small fortune !!!!!
The nose was repaired, NOT replaced. It took a lot of time but it turned out beautifully. I have taken over 1500 pics of this car during the resto. When I have a bit more time I will post a little story of the resto with detailed pics. Every effort is being made to keep the car as original as possible. This car was an awesome example of an original untouched wing car and Dave was great to deal with on the purchase.

But yet is the same ball park figure that your thinking you can get for a clone? HMMMMM which one seems WRONG.
You cant deny its originality.It had the original fanbelts on it. I lendt out to be duplicated.It had a chrysler issue oil filter white and blue .Not the goldline from assembly.I did have a turn key 4 speed daytona as a loaner.To distract me from messing with mine.Mine was all intact and ran under its own power with original plug wires etc etc.I didnt start life like this Al junkyard daytona and get reborn.And hope to see my cars completed pictures .As seen in the back in the day picture

The market has changed dramatically in the last year ! On that note I have yet to see a right Daytona clone with operating headlights and just done right
You will also find many original wingcars where the headlights cant stay down for any period of time.And the headlight doors warp and the headlight door gaps are inconsistent.
That because DOT mandated that all cars with hidden headlights must have their headlight doors spring loaded to pull them open at all times with vacuum pulling them shut ! You'll see Daytona -Superbird with open doors at a car show because their is a vacuum leak , bad canister or vacuum pod is leaking . Bottom line most owners are clueless about why this happens !As far as headlight doors out of alignment , that is why I redesigned the pivots , orig type most likely was designed by third grader !!! :icon_smile_big:

Man I would just like to see the estimate for the money if you were ever to build a bridge to get over yourself. Can you imagine the engineering involved? You sir are a piece of work....and then some :hah:
Dave
My thoughts exactly. Those third graders did more with a pencil and a slide rule than most people could hope to accomplish in a lifetime. As for the owners, I haven't met one yet that hadn't forgotten more about wing cars than some loudmouths will ever know. Ok, there's that ONE guy but he's the exception. :P I'm just hoping that Larry gets his car done sometime before I'm eligible for Social Security so I can see how things should have been done. If Chrysler took this long to engineer a product they'd have never won a race.
Troy
Too many big words for you ????
Words aren't a problem for me as much as coming across an uncontrolled ego. Like I said you are too much :hah:
BTW just for the record, Dave's old Daytona wasn't worth the asking price but sold,and your well done but unfinished clone is still on the market?
How can that be?
Dave
I don't think Dave's car was overpriced on the market it was placed for sale in. It wasn't as high as other Daytona's at the same time, and yes they were restored pieces, but a car can be restored 100 times but only be origional 1 time.
As far as the third grade engineer comments go. Hmmmm, I think that I've met a few of those engineers and i don't think they would take too kindly to those words. Then again I'm not one of them, but I don't even think its approriate. Then again who am I to comment, I don't have a wing car and I'm not building a clone so my opinion doesn't matter.
As for the comment of wing car owners being clueless as to why their headlight doors don't stay shut, is way off base. There are plenty of wing car owners who know exactly what happens, and why, but choose that its not that big of a deal. Heck you can get the headlight doors back down by simply turning the key and starting the car up, and then shutting it off again.
I guess I missed this but what did it sell for? It's great that it's being restored but a little sad because now it's forever out of reach of 99% of the wing car enthusiasts. The selling price will probably be in the $200k's not the $300k's. To have that much play money wouldn't the buyer need to be a millionaire or close to it? Likely it'll be sold again and again, each buyer a milionaire of course. And you just know it'll be locked away and disappear from the roads(but not if I owned it!)
Oh believe me, even on a yearly salary in the $45K range, I will own one of the wing cars. Even if they have a $200K price tag.
Wingnut , I kept my Daytona ! I sold the small 472 hemi and built a 528 ! Where is you car ????????

You really don't "get it" if you think I'm trying to bother you. However, I am wondering if I'm the one who really doesn't "get it". I've been hoping that you'd choose to act like a civil human being while participating in this forum. If my optimism is unfounded, we can straighten that out in a heartbeat. I wouldn't begin to think or expect a comment from anyone (myself included) would cause any drastic personality change. You don't have to change who you are to be a part of the group, but I refuse to let you continue berating and/or browbeating others. Check the abrasive, condescending attitude at the door - it'll be there waiting for you when you leave, since no one else wants it either.
All ya gotta do is admit or continue showing us that you fully intend to keep acting like a :moon: and Troy can make sure that you'll have ample time to show other people elsewhere what wonderful insight you have in everything. It just won't be around here.
Got that?
I can't tell if in Gene post if the smiley is hitting his own head or the ground? Looks like its hitting both. :coolgleamA:
Its a big world, and there is plenty of room for everyones opinions, and thoughts. Plenty of room for everyone to voice their own thoughts as well. It is America, and it does come with the tag of "freedom of speech." However with that statement comes a responsiblity as well. Your free to say what you want, free to do what you want, as long as it doesn't infringe on anyone else's right to enjoy the same freedoms. Which is why there are many things that people like, and dislike. People like things for their own reasons, and don't like things for their own reasons. Which is why they are called opinions.
I didn't think this board was intended to be a place where people said things that bothered other people. Its supposed to be a place where people can share in a common enjoyment, and a common liking.
That was well said 69 500 :2thumbs:
I thought I'd have some fun with the young fella :hah: I think he figures he comes off funny, but to me he is a jerk :icon_smile_blackeye:
And no I don't have a Daytona clone or otherwise, maybe one day ;)
I will have to make due with this:

Anyone wanna trade? :shruggy:
Dave
I've got some hotwheels if your interested. Not much of a fan of the 70's honestly, heck who am I kidding I don't even like the majority of the 69's. I still don't know why you couldn't get a luggage rack on a 69 500 though. I think that you could have modified one and made it work. I mean they went ahead and put a huge clothes line on the back of a Daytona. :smilielol:
That is a very nice looking 70 though I must say. I do like the stripe package and call me odd but I like Chargers with a luggage rack. The rocker moldings always look good on Chargers too.

\Me to would like to see the finished product daytona of Daytonalo in this lifetime.He had head start opportunitys most car builders dont get. And have unlimited access to my real daytona to study dimensions details firsthand .Before a build up.I also introduced him to this site.I guess I should apologize for that
Is the green car up for trades ??
Maybe :shruggy:

Sorry if I'm not going as fast as the your ability , I have made the tooling for a few parts to help my friends out with their cars as well as trying to pay my Mortgage on my Home ! I just couldn't use hardware store items on my nose , so Now I make Pivots, Headlight adjusters, A-pillar trim , Hinges and other items to make some of our lives easier
Hey Dave is the 70 a 4 speed car or an AT? And is it a 4 bbl car or a 6 pac? Just curious, as there is a gentleman here in Indy who does like the 70's, so I'll pass the word on to him. But I know he will ask questions about it, so figured I'd ask them.
I think my hardware store storm cylinder found bracket hollow up the center and alum to cut to length and drill a hole.For a fiberglass headlight pivot bracket to actuator.Was just better then waiting for the fiberglass tab to fail .A retro fit as your introcduction of vacuum GTO parts into the nose.The bracket worked out well inplace of what was there .And the end result was a completed functioning system on a turn key driveable wing car thats on the road

Thats their call I recorded as I found it .car was a 606 Built on a Fri.It had those kind of odd quirks
Here are a few quick pics of our progress so far. I will update as much as I can until the car is finished.

Very nice work !!! I'm glad to see the car finally has future !!
Just curious but what was the problem with the origional washer bottle? I would suggest switching it back to the origional, or getting one that had the lid that opens in the right direction. Just an observation.

$300k = Notgonnahappen.com
It will be a very nice car, but a rare color and/or 4-speed is needed to get to the upper end of the price scale. White interior is certainly a plus. R4 is pretty common as Daytonas go.
Colin Comer recently had the R6 Mr. Norm car for $265k or thereabouts and it has sold.
I was always warned about crack !! :icon_smile_big:
Its pretty basic as daytonas go body color and transmission.Except for the white interior whiteline tires and full hubcaps.And 1 owner registered since new parked in 1977.With extensive documentation circa pictures timeline etc.Reminds me of that pretty basic superbird that sold on BJ Auction recently for $200K that had the extra crunched nose and bill board of documentation including the ticket
This one also had a crunched nose , so maybe it is worth 1 million !!

That must be some of the "new math" I've heard about. :rotz:
Don't worry about Larry, he's our resident (choosing my word very carefully) skeptic. There's one in every crowd :insertsarcasm:

he must think restorations are free
Ok 50 k on resto , 25 k profit .That car was all there , not hunting down parts , after it still wears 39 year old plug wires ! I should have bought the thing if I knew I could have made 175 K profit in it after tear down , rust repair , fix crunched nose and paint , oh well I missed out !

Daytonalo, you make it sound so easy. Just curious, what shop does complete nut and bolt resto's on Daytona's for 50k. Is it your shop? Sounds like I should have got you to do it for me, you seem to know a lot more about how much work was involved in this car than I do.
I would have done it for 50 k plus parts
Where is your shop located?
does anyone know what the Q5 turquoise daytona ended at today on EBay? Last I saw today, it was over $275k... just using that one for a gauge...
BZ
I think that car was never titled and virtually no miles
Here is the daytona in Nov 11 23 2005.Daytonalo on the left had full access to this car for measurements detail study templates to copy parts etc to aid in his build up daytona clone

Hey, I had one of those Hurst 300's once. Cool car. Loved that TNT 440! :2thumbs: MsMopar
Thanks Vicki that ones just sitts minutes from my house and I like them. They do have a wingcar pedigree the hood and trunk lid provided by creative industries .The guy had it since the 80s it sat so long the rings siezed and has no compression. I ve been there more than once left my number And wants to much for it in that state.So Im leaving my number on a 71 AG RR I found in the area.Nice to see your Hemi 500 getting back together.I know live in same town as AV MR Hemi
Thank you. As far as that 300 goes, that's nothing that a little tranny fluid down the spark plug holes wouldn't fix. How much does the guy want? MsMopar
They tried that on that 300 Hurst to no avail.Here is the other car I found nearby with all the parts to go with it

Did you buy it? MsMopar
Left my number and asked to shoot me a number
Good luck! MsMopar
Parts car complete air grabber hood not much else to get excited over
Hey, if the price is right.......My problem is I see every car as a diamond in the rough. I need to be reminded that it takes at least $50,000 to restore on of these Diamonds nowadays. ::) I need to move on to my RT/SE after the finishing touches on the 500. I really don't want to do another rotisserie restoration but that's what it is going to need to do it right. :P MsMopar
How close are you to finishing up your 500 then MsMopar? Is it going to be ready to go by show season this year? Or at Talladega in '09?
It's together now, just needs detailing. I don't know how far from home I am going to take it. Maybe start out with a few cruz-ins and local shows for now. MsMopar
