IIRC....they're looking for $300K+ for this car  , the nose is horrible in fit/finish, if it looks that bad in pics, in person must be even worse....can only imagine the rest of the vehicle's finish

I could be wrong, but wasn't this car finished by Hodges Restorations quite a few years ago?

Already bid to $204K (with fees) in just 24 hours.   NOM, automatic trans, no build sheet, questionable tag, and undesirable color.  BUT - it's a Daytona.  Might get to $300K.  Mecum just sold one for $418k.        

[Q5XX29]

I don't know about the undesirable color comment... I like it, personally.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all.

Air shocks? Incorrect exhaust?

I can't get past the 68 valve cover and the heater hoses banded together. The wiper transmission looks to be painted black? Easy enough fixes but it's going to be a big dollar sale!

Heater hoses should cross over and not just be side by side the whole way but an easy fix

Maybe you should buy it and correct all those things that are not perfect.

The headlight bucket bolts seem to be painted and large headed not thin throwing off headlight opening adjustment

The "point" is, it should be near correct/flawless for that kind of asking coin....

trans kickdown linkage pull back spring wrong and connected at the wrong place

is that a 12v power wire from the ignition coil going to the electric coil choke thermostat on the carb?

I would have liked to seen before or during resto pics if possible back history .In 1977 Arizona it was in a abandoned cars for sale

The scissors jack and handle are a joke. WINGNUT

[Dave Kanofsky]

Curious about the woodgrain dash when not an SE?
Also the shift knob on most Daytona's is the earlier chrome version for some reason.

broken steering wheel also

Typical "repro" jacksold by Rick's Parts/Mopartsllc, just a converted $50 jack from O'Riely's or like parts stores... great for a clone, but not  acceptable for a seller asking/looking for $300K+

[nascarxx29]

I think my old sears jack with mods  look better

Hi DAY CLONA, Wingnut426,               24 September 2022

We had one similar to the one in the photo, folding handle and all. Don't remember where we got it but did throw it out. Our Daytona that Bob bought had it's original jacks.

Hi FJ5WING ,                  02 October 2022

Think Tuco hit the nail on the head. Maybe you should follow his suggestion and show us how it should be done.

To be fair, he has already shown us how it should be done with the Superbird he owned

Hi Ernie,              02 October 2022

Thanks for the comeuppance, I appreciate it since I had it coming.

Your Daytona is looking really great. When do you think it will be completed? Hope it's done before we head to Ohio in September 2023 for my HS reunion. We would like to stop by on our way home to visit with you and see your Daytona. Also give us a chance to see Bob and his collection. We have a favorite in it.

Best Always

Hi Folks,                  03 October 2022

Noticed the broken steering wheel. Think this is a flaw in the wood grain steering wheels. This isn't the first we have seen. Looks like material shrinkage.

In photo 5981, the "K" frame looks fairly well hammered. Rough roads in its earlier life?

Sitting here watching a Dust Storm pass through the area. Will guess 40 mph sustained winds with gusting 55 - 60+. Good time to be inside and not on the road.

Best Always
