Aero/Wing car pics from Carlisle

[hemigeno]

Here are a few Aero car pics I took last weekend at Carlisle:

1.  Gorgeous 4-speed HemiDaytona
2.  Same
3.  Hemi C500 (one of the few 500's I saw the whole weekend)
4.  John A.'s very neat V2/Y2 Daytona, before the parking Nazi's made him move

[hemigeno]

Some more:

1.  Nosecone shot of John A's car
2.  John G.'s V2/auto Daytona that was entered in the SME Concours judging (restored by Dickie Wolfe)
3.  Trunk shot from John G.'s car, which surprised me since the rest of the car is pristine but the jack wasn't restored.. 
4.  Black 4-speed Daytona, with John A.'s Daytona parked in the "right" space...

wow that black HEMI daytona & red C500 HEMI     , there is a few close up shots of John A's Y2 / V2 DAYTONA engine bay etc  from carlisle on moparts  thats awesome condition  being un restored . looks to have been a fantastic  show. awesome pictures thanks for posting ( hemigeno) 

[69_500]

Geno, do you happen to know who's C500 that was? I was informed that there was going to be a X9 charger 500 there with A/C, did it not show up?

Also is that a factory HEMI Daytona? If so I'm assuming it was a 4 speed car.

John's car is definitely unique, and in fantastic shape for never having been completely restored (i.e. engine never out of the car, etc.).  I can only imagine how much work he's done though to take the black paint off the engine compartment.  There were some guys looking at the car who questioned what was up with what (almost) looked like black overspray.  Made perfect sense after John later explained that the engine compartment was painted black and that he took oven cleaner and elbow grease to it in an attempt to remove the black and get down to the yellow.. 

Geno, do you happen to know who's C500 that was?

I knew you were gonna ask that, so I snapped off a picture of the broadcast sheet.  I figured since that showed the VIN, you wouldn't need the owner's name - since I do believe you have every C500 VIN known to mankind memorized...     I'll email you the whole picture with the whole sheet here in a minute.  I think the owner is from Frysburg, PA, but the pic I took didn't have the full name.

I was informed that there was going to be a X9 charger 500 there with A/C, did it not show up?

Just because I didn't see it doesn't mean it wasn't out there plain as day.  Was it in one of the buildings?  I looked around Building T, but not the other two buildings and I also didn't go through the car corral either.

Also is that a factory HEMI Daytona? If so I'm assuming it was a 4 speed car.

Yep, it looked to be a factory 4-speed HemiDaytona.  I couldn't get a real good look at the Fender Tag (since the ropes were too far away), and with it being fairly dark under the tent I couldn't make out every code/letter either.  I could, however, see that the tag read A11, and below that E74 D21 - plus the VIN sequence # started with 4.  That was one nice car...

[johntpr]

Great pictures Gene, and it was great to see you and everyone at the show !

[69_500]

Begins with a 4?? does it end with a 5? I can only recall 2 HEMI 4 speed Daytona's, and only 1 of those started with a 4 in the VIN.

I don't have every C500 vin memorized yet, but i'm getting closer and closer. Like at Vegas when I spotted a C500 I looked at his VIN and told him I hadn't seen his car before. Thought it was close to a few others. Took me about 15 minutes to come up with the 2 cars that were close to his, the 2 after his. Then went home and saw that I wasn't mistaken, and that I hadn't seen his car before.

Is that ash tray door supposed to be a slide down style?  it must be...     i thought dodge went to the flip down style door mid way thru 1968...  Guess i better check my 500 to see which style it has, but i'm 99% sure its a flip down style and not the slide down style...

I'm sure they replaced the '69 with a '68 version to accommodate the gauges........

Ya that makes more sense. 
Thats where i have the fuse box for my aftermarket wiring harness in my 68. 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

I really dig that idea....

Danny, check your PM for the C500 owner's name

Anyone get a pic of the Hemi Daytona's tag?  I couldnt see it either....

[hemigeno]

Anyone get a pic of the Hemi Daytona's tag?  I couldnt see it either....

Here are the best two pictures I could take...

[hemigeno]

The best I can come up with on the codes is as follows:

  R22 V88 Y39  26  EN2
G11 G33 J25 M21 M31 N85
A11 A34 B41 B51 C16 C55
X9 X9 C6X X9 602 927205
E74 D21 XX29 J9B 405189

The stuff in red I pulled from the Shipping list, and it sorta looks correct according to the pics.   

There is a car on the '79 WW list that matches this description (Black, 4-speed, black interior w/ console) with that exact VIN.  If you want to look it up on the shipping list it is #291, shown as going out to Dodge City, Inc. in Phoenix, AZ.  In '79 it was listed as being owned by D. Hicks of Alabama.

[69_500]

If you want a photo of the fender tag that is clear let me know I have one. Actually I think I have about 25 or so. I went to see that car last year in the Spring time. gorgeous car, I also have photo's of it from 1982 when my dad turned down the chance to buy it off of Don Hicks for $10K. Seems that in 1989 Don did finally sell the car but for a tad more than $10K.
Car was missing the fender tag in 1982. Not sure how they got the fender tag now though.

[nascarxx29]

I was checking over the wings at carlisle.I thought that car at Jacobs spot was Don Hicks daytona now S Foxs.That had been damaged before underneath.I also saw the yellow daytona .And spotted numerous inconsistencies on it.Seen the blue one from OK .A Roy B car from FL $230K.And the V2 orange one From Mn was also in the car corral.And my friends John A daytona was there .A nice daytona specimen

[69_500]

Your correct on the HEMI car there Dave.

What Yellow Daytona are you refering to?

[nascarxx29]

This one Danny it was there 37972?.Its a known car but was recored as wrecked and or parted out .It was put back together But I seen alot of differences from minor to major inncorrect brake booster the trunk hinges and straight nose channel brackets were fabricated .It was wearing a glass nose and valance .It is a automatic car currently but was originally a 4 speed it had a dana.Wasnt matching numbers .The rad support might have been replaced hood had the ribs.The welds and fabricated bracket to latch tray area didnt look right to me .The weather strip area on dr side where number would be was was already pulled up previously .I dont recall seeing a number there.I was going to look underneath for evidence as to the bolt heads from the tabs holding the wing braces and bolt that held scissors jack.To further investigate this cars origins.Came back later the following day it was on the trailer going

[Lowprofile]

That black Daytona is beautiful!

[69_500]

Is that the same Yellow Daytona that has been on Ebay a few times lately?

[tan top]

Yeap, things have "improved" on that car...   

Did it ever sell?

[hemigeno]

Did it ever sell?

Not that I know of, still sitting there on Saturday afternoon I know for certain.

I do hope no one forgets to put the hood pins on before driving the car, since there's no safety catch

A friend of mine..Was Jack Wersts chief back in the day .He currently owns and races a sox and martin duster.He told me some details about the 5/50 superbird.Which later became the Tosten Jennings superbird better known as the PHOENIX with a change of a paint job from the 5/50 paint scheme.Tail lights that weighed 150 LBS solid steel speaker shelf.Its sole purpose for being built was to beat RayAllens LS6 Chevelle

[70426rtse]

I just checked the Superbird VIN list and that Jennings Superbird VIN is not on it!  Maybe because it was a top secret factory race car    Anyway, it does belong in a batch of other consecutive Hemi Birds...181256, 258,259,260 261.

[moparstuart]

very cool/trick intake set up on that car   

[petercharger]

I have a 68 charger with 383 h code car and I thought the same thing...it slides down...which I was surprised...most pivot out..

I also was checking the Vin and seen it wasn't in that batch of Hemi birds. Then I looked at the fender tag again and noticed N96 (air grabber hood)
so it must be a coverted Road runner not a real Superbird

That's a rat roaster intake.I use to run them on my drag car, the cool part is you can change the top lid to a single 4 ,in-line 2-4 or cross ram without taking the manifold of the engine.

[nascarxx29]

There has been other Hemi superbirds with N96 on the tag

I'm admittedly a novice when it comes to Superbirds, but wouldn't the B30 scheduled build date and the J97xxx Special Order number sortof imply a Superbird and not a 'Runner?

Gene, You are correct.  I have heard of N96 on Hemi Superbird fender tags before, but this is the first one I have seen.

[nascarxx29]

I got about 3 pictures of N96 hemi superbird fender tags

[moparstuart]

I had my buddy dick drake (MY ADOPTED MOPAR FATHER) check his fender tag on his hemi superbird no  N96


   Hi Stuart,

I showed Dick your message, and he said he doesn't know of any superbirds with that N96 code.  Ours doesn't have it.

Happy New Year!

Dick & Bev

[nascarxx29]

I got a picture of a few images saved

[nascarxx29]

And a P31 code on a superbird tag Power windows ?

[Wingnut426]

My HEMI bird does NOT have N96 on the fender tag.

There is a 440 EW1 440 'Bird here in Ct. that has "V21" on its fender tag.

Geno, do you happen to know who's C500 that was? I was informed that there was going to be a X9 charger 500 there with A/C, did it not show up?

Also is that a factory HEMI Daytona? If so I'm assuming it was a 4 speed car.

theres a bad virus on this thread my trend micro keeps catching it JFYI>

[69_500]

Ironically the X9 500 with A/C mentioned on page one of this thread would be the same X9 500 being discussed in the other thread that Ghoste started.
