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

[XS29L9B2]

very nice 

[tan top]

 hello & welcome  !         your car reminds me of this  one ! see link below 

http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,121588.0.html

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

[440]

Wow, that's a cool car.

[Redbird]

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.

[nascarxx29]

Nice build

[nascarxx29]

On this old post there was a hemi daytona replica from florida.         http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,1955.275.html

[Aero426]

Good looking car.

[SWRacerX]

Thanks everyone. I have found some info on this site, and if anyone knows Dfan (user name on here) please let him know.

[Mopar Nut]

Welcome aboard!

[SWRacerX]

Thanks MoparNut

SWEET-!!!!!!  Are you sleeping in it? I would.

[C5X DAYTONA]

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.

[C5X DAYTONA]

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.

[C5X DAYTONA]

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?

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. 
.

[SWRacerX]

Ok C5X Daytona I am trying to get this all straight in my head.
The car came out of Modesto in the 80's or 90's then XXCarguy had it, then I guess it went to Navada and then to Indio? And this was originally the number 97 car that raced in Riverside in the 70's the became the #73 Miller car, and then became the #71 K&K Ins. Car. Am I on the right track?

[b5blue]

Interesting stuff! We'd love to hear how you found and acquired this car? 

[SWRacerX]

In due time I will release that information. Just trying to wrap my head around this whole life span on this car.

I know the car was still in the Modesto area till the late 90s.  Maybe even into the next century.      I don't know when it went to Wyoming,   Indio around 2009

Nothing new.   Was up on Craigslist the day after it sold at a local public auction. 

[Charger_Fan]

I love the turn signal lights in this pic, they look like porch lights from a camp trailer.

[SWRacerX]

Ok is everyone ready for the story on this car?

[Aero426]

Ok is everyone ready for the story on this car?

We can hardly wait.

[C5X DAYTONA]

Ok is everyone ready for the story on this car?

It's a duesy.

[Dodge Don]

I think the people that got the car in the Challenger swap ended up in bankruptcy or something and the car got seized and auctioned off?

[Dave Kanofsky]

Ok is everyone ready for the story on this car?

[moparstuart]

[djcarguy]

Ok is everyone ready for the story on this car?

well   we are all here an waiting        Well some of us?   Think we all understand the story started with a 70 Charger in Modesto an a nose off a west coast daytona race car.   then   color an number changes and    

[held1823]

i say just put it back to stock, and sell me the dog house off of it.

i even have the correct 1970 parts to toss in on a deal.

that's a win/win if i ever saw one.....

or buy me the car and i'll give you all my front end parts    

[Dodge Don]

And still no story. The thread equivalent of being blue balled.

so you'd finally have the car you collected the parts for, but no parts afterwards?

that's some wonky sounding logic.

[C500]

Ok is everyone ready for the story on this car?

This is really getting drawn out  

[b5blue]

  Guys it's a pump and dump. He got the info he needed (Possibly more than he wanted.) and is off to flip the car.    You can stop sitting next to the phone waiting for your new friend to call....he's moved on and gone. Lets all just hope the car ends up in a good home and he does okay.

Good with details, those attorneys are  

[SWRacerX]

Sorry for the delay guys. So yes this car was purchased out of a bankruptcy auction. I have been in touch with the gentleman out of Oklahoma that pulled the car out of the back yard in Modesto and did the build on it into the Mr. Norms Grand Spalding Dodge DAYTONA. This car has been from Modesto to North Carolina to Wyoming and then to Indio, CA. Now it has the Bobby Isaacs campaign colors on it and we are going through the car and redoing it back to the Mr. Norms campain colors as it was originally built. There are some issues that we are taking car of.
That's the plans we have and then putting it up for sale once we complete the restorative work on it.
Any question please ask. I have trace the history of this car all the way back to the folks that owned/raced it out of Modesto.

Don, are you moonlighting as a private investigator?  

[Dodge Don]

Always being on the hunt for 70 Chargers does turn you into a bit of an investigator.

Poor Bobby Isaacs.  He has one of the most mispronounced names in racing history.

It was never a real race car.   Just paint.

Correct.   In the 70's it was a rolling billboard

[Charger_Fan]

That's my kind of yard art!

[Dodge Don]

Seems like some of you guys know more about the car but spit out out in dribs and drabs....like pulling teeth. It is an interesting topic, can you share what you know?
