I'm sure it is just a case that he or some previous owner added them......... Unless it is an A47 SE car, but I doubt that since it doesn't have the SE medallion nor woodgrain dash...

my first thought was the seller might be too young to remember vinyl seats, and since they aren't cloth...

the asking price is a lot of money, but it is the real deal. it will be interesting to see the outcome.

He said his reserve was less than the BIN price.

So what are you guys thinking of as far as as a price?  $100K?
If it is indeed number's matching and the body is in good shape,and is a nice driver,   I can't see it going for much less.  4 speed and disc brakes are a big plus, (not to mention those painted to match vector rims  :D )

That Y2 automatic a while back needed more work and I believe that one got bid in the 80s.

Based on the "marketability" of mine, the fact it is apparently an original 4-speed and what appears to be a solid original panel car (who knows, the pictures can't really tell and ad doesn't mention it), then I would say 100K easy.. But, I'm jaded......

Troy if you are jaded, I am tainted... :smilielol: :smilielol:  IMO if the buyer is a typical fully restore the car, there is nicer cars out there done and although I like Y2 it is not the typical "have to have colors".  So say at 100k plus 70-100+ resto =200k in it, it will/should not sell at 100k IMO, other cars this past yr have prooven that 65-80k range it seems as FMV to me.  If a fella, bought it and groomed with a repaint to a nice driver, I could see doing that... it would likely NOT be anywhere as nice as Troys and more money.....  not that I am shopping, that car would have to be at 60 before I would start getting bothered, others likely would flinch before me some amount higher, just my thoughts on this car, like it, just not that much :Twocents:

If I got a set of 15x8 steelies and painted them either the same yellow with doggies or black with chrome lug nuts, replace the antenna and then replace the missing door panel, she'd look pretty good without a repaint.....  At least getcha up and going...... Those rims really don't do anything for me.....

The car is caught in an 80's time warp  (color, wheels, seat covers, #3 decal on the glass) and could be "improved" pretty easily.   Someone knows what they have, but is apparently not the typical Daytona collector.   This is one of those cars totally off the radar screen for decades.   They are still out there.    Cool car.

cool car, worth the 68k thats it bid now, but I wouldnt even think to pay the "buy it now", looks to me like it has problems under the paint. of course could be just the pics but I like better both the other daytonas I saw on the market today.

The part I like about it, from the pictures, is the rear valance seams.... They aren't filled in like what a lot of people did back in the day when there was damage or rust repair... Looks nice.....

$68 seems awfully low to me.  I know we're in a bit of a slump car-value wise but doesn't this seem unusual?  I would have thought eBay would bring some serious bidders for a car like this.

Troy, You have a very nice car. I think that you should convert your car to a 4 speed and just save all of the auto stuff to go with the car if you ever sell it. In the long run it will be much cheaper than selling your nice car and taking the risk of buying a 4 speed car that may have issues. I don't think that it would affect the value of the car that much since it can be easily reversed.
If your car is the one that has the GV, you can buy the GV tail housing for a 4 speed.

Or just put the 5 or 6 speed tremec in it , less convertion . Dont need a tranny hump and just one hole for  the shifter ,  Still uses your automatic console just get the 4 speed shifter plate .   :yesnod: :icon_smile_big:

As Silly or anal as it might be, if I was ever to convert the Daytona to a 4-speed (which I doubt I would ever do), I would want the true console and hump...  I would get an overdrive.. but, that 4-speed fix will, more than likely, come from my 500......

Ok, well time to let "THE CAT" out of the bag ( just reading the Steve Roper comic post, thought it was appropriate)  :icon_smile_big:

I am now the very proud owner of this Daytona.
Sorry to disappoint those that were also vying for it.
I didn't think in a million years I would end up with a Daytona, always thought it would be a Superbird.
But it's been a looong time looking, that's for sure.
And let me tell you it was no easy task to get.
I am genuinely surprised the deal went through- there were lots of obstacles.

And be sure I'll have questions and querys along the way.
Hoping to learn more, make new acquaintances, and share anything new I can with the group.

Speaking of which I will be starting a new post in the next few days with  some very cool docs found in the car.
No telling for those who were privvy - you know who you are .. :D

Will give everyone the low-down in the new post  :2thumbs:

Makes sense . Looks like it was an Oregon car it's whole life ( until about a week ago  :icon_smile_big:  )
Will have to see if that dealership still exists.

Thanks.
Just searched that address, I see that it is a Salvation Army now...
Not a long-lived dealership if earliest verified date was 69- and closed is 70 .
Must have had a fleet of Daytonas and Superbirds on the lot...    :smilielol:

AHHH!  I guess I can stop waiting by the phone now.  I guess it isn't my time to join the aerozone.  I thought it was fate when an all original yellow 4 speed Daytona not more than 200 miles from my place cropped up.

I was $5k off their bottom line.  I just couldn't do it!  I shoulda done it!!

Congrats to you Winginit.  I think you got yourself a real gem there.

He said his reserve was less than the BIN price.

So what are you guys thinking of as far as as a price?  $100K?
If it is indeed number's matching and the body is in good shape,and is a nice driver,   I can't see it going for much less.  4 speed and disc brakes are a big plus, (not to mention those painted to match vector rims  :D )

That Y2 automatic a while back needed more work and I believe that one got bid in the 80s.


This is an awesome car, see it most every day, lol.......

How's the body? Couldn't tell much from the bad photos. My Buddy tried to get them to send more pictures, but it was like pulling teeth (don't think he ever did get more pictures). From my eye, it looked rather straight. I noticed the rear valance seam to quarter appeared to be original and not "filled" in, usually an indication of body work being done back there...

Congrat's on the car, a 4-speed car is awesome.........

The newest AB !!!  :nana:

Seems like that is always the case. Even though a few hundred/thousand dollars more now seems like the end of the world. Then in 5 years we say dammnn should have bought it cause its tripple the price now.

I'll find out more about the body when it gets stripped for new paint ( going back to Y2 from the  current taxi-cab yellow).
But it is a very solid car. Had some PS quarter work done, and shall we say liberties taken in the nose to let in more fresh air. Floors are real nice, factory undercoated car .  Obviously had some hot roddin' done throughout the years given the paint job, rims, chrome in the engine compartment etc.
Going to try to keep the resto to a minimum. I want a nice driver not a trailer queen.
I haven't downloaded the pics and video yet , but I do have a very interesting document to share and will post shortly.

Sounds like a plan, and a good one from a stress and get-her-back-on-the-road point of view.. When the day ever comes to repaint mine, it'll be exterior only. I'm not messing with the undercoating. I'm extremely lucky in that no panels will ever need to be replaced or repaired, so the repaint will be a pretty straight forward process.....

no its not outside  ;)....Thats the last time I drove the car, Thats when the bearings crapped out and the car sat until 4/09. Then I had it hauled to the first body shop where after 15 months and about 8 invoiced hours I pulled it and handed it to a local upstart restoration shop. Right now I wont accuse them of being speedy thats for sure!!!!!! but the work in amazing and top shelf. there are some issues with holding onto a timeline because they cant leave the quick turn small jobs alone while they work on whats already on the plate.  :flame:
The RR that sits in the priority line before my Bird is a turn key restoration and that seems to be gumming up the works.  :pullinghair:

Showed the pics to my 9 year old daughter, she really like it.

I dont know the location of many members yet so forgive me.

did the Daytona go from previous owner to the Larry's shop? Arent you planning on ripping around it for awhile before starting in on your snowball?

Whats a snowball you ask?
thats where it all started with a wounded motor. This was eight years ago two years after I hurt it
(http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL419/1016826/9187982/128272712.jpg)

closer to paint than this but not in final primer yet.
(http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL419/1016826/21692381/394708695.jpg) maybe a little further along closer to paint.

Haven't decided yet. Thinking of repainting the yellow sections in a black , and see how that looks.
I will likely go with redline radials and chrome magnum 500s. Always wanted a car with those, and here is my opportunity.  The car originally came with 14" Road wheels ( with trim ring)  and red sidewalls .
So it will be fairly close to the factory look.
You interested in them?

Oh I know what you mean by snowball.
Yes the the car went from prev. owner  to Larry's .
It just made sense for a number of reasons:
Season's ending here soon, ( northeast), need to make room, so I have time ,  I wanted Larry to do the car, so why go east then back west , ( waste of dollars that can be spent improving the car). I could go on but you get the idea.

Cool car Too much yellow for my taste.  To me, yellow should be an accent color, not the primry.  Unfortunately, mines yellow. No, its not a wing car, unfortunately. Orange  is the way to go.

I always called them turbine wheels, but no one knew what I was talkin' about, so I just say Vectors now.

Thanks for the pic Stu, gives me a  good idea what it would look like for sure.

I have some 14" Road Wheels I  can redo for the factory look, if I wanted to down the road.

Only way to avoid those pesky rock chips and such is to keep them on the trailor, and that is simply no FUN :cheers:

No truer words spoken, but at some time, I'd like to have a "fresh" start.......

Hi Dave,
The car's at Larry's shop being restored currently.
I'll be posting progress pics and be asking questions I'm sure, along the way.
Thanks for asking.

FYI that link didn't bring me to the ad but the main page. But when I tried to search , I found no Dodge ( or Plymouth or Chrysler for that matter) , in the dropdown box for Makes.   Odd... :shruggy:

Same old ad seen before just said guy inherited car from his dad who bought it in 1971  Description


A beautiful '69 Dodge Charger Daytona! I am putting this listing in for my friend Andrew who owns the car. He has owned it since 1987 and inherited it from his Dad who purchased it in 1971.

It's a moo point now.   :lol:

Other than small tears in part of the covers which were covered with black tape, they are actually in pretty good shape.
Probably put the seat covers on to protect them from further deterioration.

I created a separate post below about the Special order sheet found in the car, when we were looking for the buildsheet.  We found the special order sheet under the back seat, and the original buildsheet under the front. 

http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,94853.0.html


It also seems to appear, after Larry's shop was taking down the car for paint, that the  car had a vinyl top on it at one point.   After a call from the son of the long time owner ( since 71), he thought he recalled the car having a vinyl top on it when he was a kid.  He is trying to get some old pics to go along with the history of the car.
Title: Re: Daytona 4 sale XX29L9B400569 - *UPDATE*
Post by: WINGIN IT on February 05, 2013, 03:39:59 PM
Ok an update is a long time coming and it seemed fitting to have a couple of Daytona Resto posts going with the Graveyard Carz .

For those who don't know , the deal was sealed at Larry's Shop - Maniac Muscle Cars - back around Labor Day Weekend.
Since then Larry and crew took little time to get the car stripped down to see what was needed body-wise, overall it has needed little.  The bodywork in the PS quarter was minor, Larry found a dent in the trunk lid, the nose had some filler but overall not bad at all.   Larry had concerns about the hood, but as usual he did a great job on it .
Below are some pics of progress, because it's worthless without pics, right?  :lol:
This may take me a while...

Pic of the aftermarket alarm that was in the car .
Quick story, when I asked the owner if the alarm was still active, he said he had no idea, as it never went off. Sure enough when I had the car inspected the inspector pulls up and the alarm is screaming !   The owner didn't know how to disable it so the inspector tells the owner... see that wire... CUT IT..  :lol:

Granted I didn't post every pic of what Larry's done so far , but I'm very pleased to say the least.
I can post more eye candy now as things progress ( provided Larry keeps sending me pictures ,  :D  )

The car will not be a trailer queen, it will restored to be a great lookin' reliable driver, that's the goal.
With that don't expect a concourse resto.  The idea was to keep what we could original if possible.
Regardless, ALL the parts will be saved.  
With any luck she'll be drivin' come warm weather up in here in the Northeast. :2thumbs:

Here's quick video of pulling the Special Order Sheet and Traveler's Sheet from the back seat floor.
We though it was the buildsheet at first, but it was too long. That's because the Special Order Sheet was taped to the Traveler's sheet.
We found the buildsheet ( actually TWO buildsheets) under the front PS carpet tucked next to the console.  The other sheet was for a 4 door Valiant I think - stuck to the Daytona sheet  :icon_smile_big:

On a Daytona hood when they use a 70 Charger hood how do they make the front edge straight ?
Do you cut the point off or add a piece to square it up  ?

The hood is left with its original profile at the front edge and on its exterior skin/surface.  The only difference between an original Daytona hood and a '70 Charger hood is the absence of stiffening ribs near the hood latch location on a Daytona version.

Don't have the parts ay Stu?  Excuses, excuses...  :D

Actually Larry has been making great progress, I think whacky weather, and some "procrastination" by the owner have delayed things a little  :D, but I'll just blame it on a lack of parts like Stu does  :lol:

parts are being fabbed and its kind of been a guessing game on my throw out bearing and how far out it need to throw
I should have just gone with the proven thing and gone the 5 speed where you just order the kit , the 6 speed is unknown territory . Oh and i'm in poor heath and doing it on my home garage floor

Joe's car is now on the lift. Engine's going back in and then we will place the car on skates. We plan to wet sand and buff on Monday and start reassembly after that. We still have to paint the nose, scoops, valance and wing. Won't be long now. This color is really growing on all of us here at the shop. It really looks great out in the sunlight. I was never a big fan of Y2 but I've decided that it really is a beautiful color.

The absolute hardest part about doing this car is the fact that it's not a full resto. The car was so solid and rust free that it didn't need to go on the rotisserie. This makes repainting a nightmare since you still have to protect the interior, etc. Underneath, all it needed was a little detailing. Joe decided that since we had the engine and k member out to paint the engine bay, we might as well clean up the engine and correct a few things. I'll post a pic of it later.
Other than the time to reinstall the interior had we gone full tilt resto, I think it actually took longer doing a partial resto. Maybe it just seems that way since we're so anxious to see the finished product.

It's going to be ultra smooth and ultra deep once it's been wet sanded and buffed.
My guys installed the engine today. Looks good with the new rims. The P275's were definitely a good choice for the rear tires. Really fills up the wheel wells.

I believe the crank pulley should be black.

It was black at one point. Couldn't remember for sure but I thought the crank pulley was already on when they painted the engines. I have a couple of reference pics that show it orange. The problem is, you never know 100% if the pics are correct.
We keep over a thousand reference pics in the shop computer and as luck would have it, it crashed a couple of weeks ago. I bought a new computer but haven't been able to transfer the pics yet. It's driving us crazy having to look this stuff up as we go along.
