1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
This is a real Hemi Daytona with 20,000 original miles. Owned by a local Mopar collector for almost 25 years. Originally a light green car, it was painted Petty Blue in the early 70s. Automatic transmission, AM/FM radio, and both jacks. Includes original recall wheels and a large, heavy box containing NOS parts for a future restoration. Drivetrain has never been out of the car. A really great driving car. Broadcast sheet. Runs real well and is fully sorted for driving.
Call Jack or Doug at 303-761-1245.
Listed as sold on their site.

Needs a red wing and stripe and some American 200S wheels to dress it up. Radke's old car was one of the best looking Daytonas of all time.
"Swoopy front end" :smilielol:
IMHO that's too much car to have nothing to break it up; stripes, vinyl top, anything! I'd like a nice pin thin stripe down the body line.
If it is indeed his former car, did Jim Radke switch the dashboard out to a woodgrain SE unit, or someone else?
Don't know if Jim had that done, or if it was that way when he got it. At the time of the Hot Rod article, it had the woodgrain dash. Also different door panels and seats with cloth inserts.
And probably the only 69 daytona that was ever painted by Earl Scheib
I liked the Howard Johnson paint scheme better

Jim confirmed that it is his old car. After he sold it, the cloth seats and door panels were replaced with the original style. He included the stock dash pieces, but they never apparently got swapped back.
Very cool Jim gave it his COA AKA Certificate of Authenticity .I had emailed Jim awhile back and he helped me conclude the Hemi daytona from Adam 12 was for sure the Ed Ryan car :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
Wow, i am here in Denver now, maybe I need to take a road trip.. :2thumbs:
Just called, might be sold. May go try and look at it tomorrow if I get out of my meetings in time.
Yeap, sold..... I am going over there tomorrow.....
Was the same car owned by Pete H? At one time too?

I believe that Pete was the next owner after Jim.
Almost positive that is a car my dad flew out to California to buy but instead came home with the R4 Hemi 500. Which oddly enough he bought from Pete.

Is that the one with the black vinyl top?
Yeah the 500 had the vinyl roof. I called my dad it was not this car but the other one Jim had that he went to get. Asking price was $6,500. My parents flew out to see it and my mom said "not spending $6,500 for a car in primer when we have 2 Daytona's at home in primer. That Hemi 500 is a pretty car and he only wants $6,000." My dad said the petty blue car was there but not for sale at the time, the other one was a red Hemi Daytona.
You know, if y'all went to the national meets you would have seen this car in Colorado Springs...

I kind of like it without the stripe, a nice clean look, maybe on a future build I will try the same. It is different.

Were it my car, I could not get the red stripe and American Daisy wheels back on fast enough. Needs wheel trim bad too.
I'll say it. Those personalized cars are the ones we remember. I think this will still be the case going into the future. Not talking about values one way or the other. Just that people remember certain cars because they were attractive (or not!) and stick out.
Does anybody know how much the car sold for?
