As far as any real evidence to date, it's a clone that was somehow photographed on the property.  Chrysler says they didn't do it and no one has brought anything forward except those pics to say differently.  All it means is that someone had access to the car and property.

Drache, I was quick to apologize to you for doubting the existence of the Mod Top Daytona but let us keep it in perspective to this discussion by remembering that it was not a factory Mod Top.
When evidence appears that the Watermelon Daytona is legit, I'll apologize for doubting it as well.  Until then, I'm still waiting for somebody to prove it.  Beuhler?  Beuhler?

Wasn't me who you talked to about the Mod top daytona, I didnt even know what a mod top was until a couple months ago  :icon_smile_big:

The reason I said it was BECAUSE it was not a factory top! No 70 Daytonas were made like that from the factory!

i'm gonna paint my '93 Ranger's hood black, throw a couple Home Depot-sourced "T" letters on it and call it a long lost Talladega. 

If it didn't leave the factory as a real car, it isn't real, unless it goes to a dedicated shop that has a constructor's license, such as Saleen, or the dealer's reputation is what makes the conversion special (Mr. Norm's, Nikkey, Yenko, etc.)  Then, though, it's a true dealership conversion and NOT built by the manufacturer.

need a better example?  the blue Hemi 500 from Florida that's been wearing Daytona sheetmetal since the 70's.  it sold for what, 80 grand?  that was a TRUE XX car, a TRUE Hemi car, but it wasn't a true Hemi Daytona!

OK Doug,
But isn't your Marty Robbins Daytona a rare original factory color option????

Sorry Drache, I got you mixed up with someone else (Charger Punk) there.  It's that west coast thing I guess.

not to mention , All daytonas and 500's came out of creative with rear window plug and shortened decklids,
  Thats the uniform  standard for these cars. If anyone comes on here with a clone with out a plug thats the first thing they get roasted for .
The dealership/ paying customer didnt want to do the body and paint work involve to make these 70 clones even look correct !

  Cool history having the earliest clones thats for sure but not real factory cars !
