For those of you interested in the current state of the market, Mecum is reporting they sold the Jay Cox Daytona at 195k at their Florida auction. It's a 440, 4-speed, V2, black interior with a white stripe. It was a Roger Gibson restored car and still very nice.
Good to see prices are at least decent! I think Roger restored only around half of that car (left or right side? LOL). I think he did either the body and paint or just the mechanical aspect. Either way a nice car indeed.
I recall seeing that car at the nats XX29L9B386561 it was set up like a automatic but had the 4 speed light and D21 telling me different

Did it have an automatic in it at the time?
I will look thru my pictures .I saw it a the the nats it was Jay Cox from Elyria Ohio I photographed tag and interior.Maybe they always had the 4 speed trans and ran it as a automatic .I be curious to know if it sold as a matching number trans car

None of those cars in the other the thread quoted are in the same class as the car that just sold. For that matter, none of them are Daytonas either. Yes, prices are down. The point is that there are still buyers who will pay for quality. The auction house marketing the car can make a difference too.
i haven't seen any Daytona's sell lately. i heard that the y2 one, with the black tail went for about 110k
i saw a yellow superbird at the RM auction go for mid 70k . i don't know the specs , cause i caught the auction late but it shure was purdy .
yes, there are those exceptional cars that command more money . it's a bad time to sell a car right now .
the big ticket mopars did what the house market did . sank . Rene
Wasn't this Daytona the one being sold by Best of Show Automotive? If so I'm sure Doug C. will chime in because he was very fond of that car.

i liked that car too. i didn't like that color until i saw it on a daytona. man , that looked good :drive:
:smilielol: I added additional value to that best of show orange hemi daytona.Its the only hemi daytona on a tv series .As seen on Adam 12
I thought the best of show one was different with a molded nose or maybe I'm thinking of the one Happy Days had

The Happy Days car has had the nose seam fixed... But it is not the car that just sold at Mecum.

:iagree:
I have said for years there is always someone willing to pay for a good quality car with good paperwork, color and no issues. An ass for every seat as Scott Martin always used to tell me.
There is still money out there to be spent on quality cars. Then there are people who used to have money, that spent it on less than top notch cars that are now wishing they hadn't spent that kind of money on them.
As my dad always said, "There is a sucker born every minute." Which is why most of the cars in the past few years went for stupid money.
One last point..that car was not a Gibson resto....he did work to it etc but it wasn't a full job by him

Did anyone read the Mopar Muscle article?
"Dave proceeded to go over the car for the TV show, pointing out the details, such as the blacked out front grille, that made it such an authentic restoration,"
It sure as heck looks body color to me!...as it is suppose to be!
He must of meant the rad cradle - On a bad day Patik knows better than that ;D

this was the car we didn't buy at the auction we bought the V2 car at, when this 195k car brought 147. oops.
Hey Doug, my mistake. :slap: I do remember this one as well, it would sure look good in my garage. Talk about your dreamers, right?

meh...I wouldn't worry about it with that 500 of yours...
Thanks Doug, I am quite fond of my 500 as well. Despite the fact that they were superceded by the Daytona, I truly think they are awesome and for sure command respect.

he doesn't want to sell it yet, coupled with no one strapping on a pair and making a serious offer. I don't know if we've ever had any traffic on the car by anyone with the means to purchase it. it's all right, though--it doesn't bother me to look at it 5 days a week ;)

Guess not when in this day in age he raises the price of the car... If it were me, I wouldn't want to sell either.... This is a car with a case of the "if you wanna buy, I want this"...... Lookin' pretty crowded in there.. Doesn't look like he'd have room for my '68 even if he wanted it.... ;D
Doug, is that you in the distance tuning up that Hemi? :cheers:

we have two of those stupid dummies in the showroom and when I'm here late at night they scare the willies out of me when I catch a glimpse of them...
we're moving approx. Apr 1 to a new building with nearly 4 times the floor space so everything can come together. we'll have more than 100 cars laid out. it'll be awesome.

That'll make for a great venue for the company Christmas party............
Not to turn this thread away from Dougy and Best of Show, and I usually don't like nit-pickers on cars that don't belong to them, but here goes anyway.
This is a beautiful Daytona, that looks to hava a decent professional lookin restoration on it, wats up with the yellow power steering cap? it looks like the one on a 2002 jeep I just checked last week!
:eek2:
