Make a nice matching "bookend" in your collection? :icon_smile_big:
Love that car.. Great color combo, stance, hemi with 4-gear... But, it is extremely rare... A U-code Daytona, not an "L".. :icon_smile_big:

Original black interior car too, but very well done!

Ahhh, I thought this car was familiar, I supplied some repro parts for it many years ago, "Michel" was/is quite the character
Looks like a Dave Patik front spoiler?, either that or it got flattened rolling off a trailer?
Gorgeous car, indeed! But yeah, what is up with that front spoiler? Wouldn't be hard to make something that at least LOOKS more original... Maybe a previous owner didn't like the way the originals looked?

I'll lean towards it being a Patik/Year One repro, they tend to exhibit the same fit... here's a few cars known wearing them

Ah, I see... doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to produce a piece that looks a lot closer to the original. If my car didn't have an original one, I would rather just make something myself that would turn out looking closer to correct (and I am no master fabricator). Kind of an eyesore to anybody who is familiar with Daytonas.
So originally red tail with black interior?
It was Fred mc nallys Daytona then jim bodanis car
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?topic=19236.0
the Daytona just sold for $225,000 i think way to low for a Hemi car !
Original 440 car
stunning car, no doubt. 225k for non matching numbers 440 daytona is a nice, healthy sum, helped out by it being a three pedal version
the superbird, a real hemi car, is the one that sold too low

Is there a link to the Superbird results? We have a thread on this someplace? I'm curious on condition and hammer price. Thx.
I went through the Mecum site for Indy auction and found only a 440 'Bird (and Hemi 500). No Hemi 'Bird: different auction or did I miss it? Thx.

The Superbird made no sense, even as a column auto bench car.

100k off from where it should have been
In terms of the "freshening" that was done to the Hemi Superbird at MCR in Wisconsin, I suspect from the photos it has had enough cosmetics done to turn off the survivor crowd ("Don't touch a thing!"). On the other hand if the paint truly is 95% original, it may not be good enough for auction buyers expecting for show perfect paint as the norm.
Look at the underhood. To me, it looks too nice for a 47 year old car, even with 9000 miles. The paint on the engine, the horn, the plated fasteners on the firewall. All these things mellow with time on a survivor car.
All the above said, with EZ access spark plugs, if the seller didn't buy it back it was amazingly well bought!
OK the Bird went for $230,000. Ad in a 10% buyer fee and you are at $253,000, a bit low but not way out of line IMO
The Daytona at $225,000, plus 10% buyers fee means $247,500 which is very strong for a non-numbers matching, Daytona IMO
