One of just 502 built by Dodge and one of only 9 factory-finished in F8 Dark Green Metallic paint, this 1969 Dodge Daytona is well equipped and virtually as new, with a freshly rebuilt and correctly detailed 440/375 HP Magnum V-8 backed by a rebuilt TorqueFlite automatic and Dana 60 rear end. The Black bucket seat interior features a center console, gauges, AM radio, factory wood-rimmed steering wheel, rear window defogger and all new seat covers, headliner and carpets. The front disc brake calipers have been rebuilt and the car is further freshened with new gas tank and lines, brake lines, exhaust system and chrome tips and a rechromed rear bumper. A Janek nose cone, White wing and Daytona stripe, date-code-correct steel wheels with dog dish caps and Redline Coker tires complete this rare Winged Warrior.

I know of ten F8 cars myself (counting this one, which is not for certain - see below), and only have +/- 300 fender tags logged.  There were almost certainly more than that made, but to state any kind of a figure is little more than a guess.

I'm pretty certain this is 414650, as it fits the description maxwellwedge gave a while back - glass nose and all.  No tag and no broadcast sheet, buyer beware.  Still being peddled around despite all that.

note to self:  if we ever get around to restoring ours, do NOT run dog dish hubcaps.

You meant to say that you should sell it to Danny before you do any work on it right?
