R4 Daytona SE w/ 6-pack coming up for auction

[Ghoste]

I don't think this one is for sale (not likely anyway), it seems to be the centerpiece of his collection.  I'm secretive only because he seems to be extremely private although as Danny will attest, when he does show the car he is more than accomodating as far as allowing photos and trying to answer questions.  Just trying to respect his wishes for privacy is all.

10-4 on that. I was just wondering if my old car is around. Last I heard it was getting restored. Wonder how it turned out?

Thank You.
Well it does look better than this.

[moparstuart]

 that car is so amazing now  , cool to see before pictures 


   do you still own the daytona ?

[maxwellwedge]

Nah - Stupid me sold the Hemi 500 4-speed and the Daytona 440 4-speed for what I had in them at the time. 42k total. 


The Daytona was white. It is now Hemi powered and the gut was changed from black to red and the wing is red as well. I think the wing was originally red on this car anyway but it was painted over black when I got it. The car was being restored in Quebec.
Cheers

Im pretty sure that white daytona is this car

[maxwellwedge]

Yep - That's it. I sold them that Hemi engine as well. I think the fellows name (that bought the 2 cars from me) was Sylvain. Good guy. That car looks sharp.

[BigBlockSam]

thats the color  i want to paint my daytona  white with a red tail . 

[maxwellwedge]

That was one of the reasons I bought the car - Cool color combo....The stick didn't hurt either!
Here is the tag from it.

[nascarxx29]

 Is this that same green Hemi 500

[69_500]

yes same HEMI 500 Dave.

And I think you'd recognize the other HEMI 500 that was mentioned if you saw it. Lets just say it is a very very well known car. Great color combination if you ask me.

[Ghoste]

Stupid side question, but those fender tag posts you made Jim, is that some kind of template you are using to make them up?

[maxwellwedge]

Hi Ghoste,
It is just a little excel file I did years ago. After I input, I window around the area, hit copy and then paste it into a photo program. That's as smart as I get on a computer. I can send it to you if you want to play with it.

Check this out. On Doc the lads at Creative mounted the antenna and bezel assembly on before body color. That's the original light grey primer on the fender underneath the bezel. They must have masked the bezel. Anyone else find this on their car?

Jim,

How does DiscoTona's fender look?  That might be one of those things which evolved as the conversion project went along, but there's no doubt how that car's fenders were painted.  I'll also try to remember and ask Vance what he's seen on the cars he's examined.

Ah Disco....I could check but the antenna hole was "disco'd -out". They didn't think they needed an antenna during the customizing and filled the hole. Not good for radio reception!

Check out the writing on the inside of the drivers door......wondering if it was something to do with power windows, SE, a combo of both or neither?

[nascarxx29]

Did you find the headlight engravings.what about the area showing no wing braces.Is there a wing washer and bolted brackets or holes on the trunk floor for the supports

Hi Dave,
No engravings found. Here are 2 pics on your other 2 questions......pics slowly sneaking out...

[nascarxx29]

interesting thanks for the picts

[nascarxx29]

Did you find these on yours.I didnt have the goldline assembly line filter but had this one .I also found paint on my plug wires H269 in Yellow lettering

[maxwellwedge]

I did not have original belts or oil filter on this car but it did have original wires with paint on them which is common on Hemi's but weird on a 440. I sent them to Frank B. so he can do his "CSI" thing with them.  I have a few NOS gold filters....I wonder if they are ok to use on a driven car. The guts may be a little weak after 40 years. Both my 'Tona's had the original (style) air filters and both still have their original vapor sep's. I have a few cars that still have their original belts, exhaust, tires etc.

[nascarxx29]

I did find some more reference picts engine paint on plug wires red paint on ends of wheel studs etc

[maxwellwedge]

That's how I love seeing them!
