70 Charger 500 need any help with this car

[SWRacerX]

I have just acquired this car. I know it started as an XP29NO car but some time ago someone had turned it into a tribute car. It has a period correct Hemi but the Data Tag listing its options is not there and another tag that looks to be factory is there that say "Special Handling Car" with another metal tag from Don Garlits Drag Racing Museum. Any help would be nice. Thanks

might be the same one      , that one did have black plexi glass over the rear tail panel , to give it a more nascar look

Wow, that's a cool car.

Very nice looking car.

I believe a "Special Handling Car" fender tag is usually a tag that was taken off something like an old police car at a junkyard to replace something like a missing tag on another car. It is supposed to look kind of cool, like this is special-well it was, but in a more pedestrian way.

Here is your 70 Charger way way back

[C5X DAYTONA]

Here it is at Riverside Raceway

[C5X DAYTONA]

It was here getting some work done a while back.

[C5X DAYTONA]

Forget the hemi in that car.  It was a mess.  Windowed etc.    But it does have an original nose, fenders, valance and wing on it.

[SWRacerX]

CSX DAYTONA how do you know so much about this car? The pictures in front of the garage where was that at? And the picture in Riverside when was that? What do you mean forget the HEMI it was a mess? Window?
Thanks

[C5X DAYTONA]

The garage is at my house.  Palm Desert.     

The picture of it at Riverside was when the owner at the time came out to the NASCAR race with us.  Around 1976   

The motor kicked out a rod out of the side.  It was in a drag car years ago.   Don't drive the car in the rain.  No seals on those calipers.  There pretty much a race only item.

Like I told the last owner.. DON'T DRIVE IT..  It has a welded spindle.  I think it was the left one. 

Here is a front end shot of the car at Riverside.  That is my silver Daytona in the back ground

Your car has a colorful history in the last few years. 

[C5X DAYTONA]

I dropped a car on that hemi.   lol

[SWRacerX]

So what is up with the fender tags??? And who built the car into a Daytona clone??

[nascarxx29]

This same car.     http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,86676.0.html

[SWRacerX]

So NASCARXX29 was this associated with Jack McCoy??? If this car was out of the Modesto area??
And what was the time frame that you had worked on the car??? And what did you do to the car?

[nascarxx29]

Can't help you there. .Think aa family member post. his car that have info.      Search. jack mc.

So what is up with the fender tags??? And who built the car into a Daytona clone??

The fender tag and the decal next to it mean nothing to the car.  Just novelty stuff.   The engine was one of my blown blocks and it was rebuilt in Palm Springs.     Ed Westwood was the guys name who put the Daytona stuff on it way way back.

The car was not associated with Jack McCoy.  XXCARGUY used to own the car and he knew Bill and Ernie Conn.  Father and son who owned the McCoy Daytona.     Your car was parked in a backyard in Modesto for so time in the 80s.
