Anyone know this Daytona?

[maxwellwedge]

Even multi-color like Disco?   

Oh actually I love the Disco Daytona you bought. I was hoping to come up with a way to get in on that car when it was up for sale a few years back when you bought it. Just like usual though the pocket book doesn't have the funds my mind wishes it did.

Don't worry - I can't afford them either but the family is finally getting used to living in a tent under the freeway.

I'm begining to think that there are 2 green Daytona's sitting next to crappy barns. We can split them Stuart. That is if you beat Troy to one.

If I don't sell the Hemi '68 and/or Dana, I won't get anything......

That has to be @ the Beelers. The car was identical to Mason Dixon's Daytona, and the E-body door/parts adorned his land.

I wonder why this other guy was misleading us about NY ?

Wants it for himself? Who knows

Doug,

That is Barry's dad, yes. And I remember that Bird you mention.

-s-

Hey Stanley... you mentioned that you saw all three Superbirds.... one was the red/white/blue 'bird.... was one of the cars the yellow and sublime car?  What did the third car look like?  Do you remember engine/trans on any cars?  Do you have any pictures of any of the cars?

Hey Justin,

I didn't take any pictures and regret not owning a camera at the time, however I'll call my friend Tom Knisley who knew/knows those Birds well. He tinkered on several Beeler cars over the years.

I believe the yellow car was a 383 car and the other two were 440, and one 440+6. I want to say at least one pistol grip four speed and the others were automatics.

All 3 Birds lived in the neighboring Beeler Barn, and I want to say their colors were, the Red,White, Blue one, a yellow or sublime one, and either an Orange one, or another blue one. I remember seeing red, but that color is on the one you have. But I'll double check with Tom or just ask him to call Barry and post on here.

have you seen the Monty Python skit where there are a bunch of rich guys talking about how bad they had it as kids?  the tent comment reminded me...

My charger is under a tent...

Well, there is a thought, lol.  I said I lived in NY and we could take a drive to see it.  I never said I would stay within the state lines.  Quite a few people have known of this car for close to 20 yrs, would be nice if someone could restore it.  By the way, great Charger site to all you folks here with some great stories and info.  Oh, and Beep Beep Dave and myself go back, so any picking on the guys that have to live North of the US border is all in fun.

Thanks for the info Steve.  I'm always looking for any information or photos on the Beeler cars.  The Beeler Red/White/Blue 'Bird that I am restoring is the 440+6 car with a pistol grip 4spd.  I REALLY need to update the restoration post on this site.  Let me know what you find out.  Thanks

  Any chance this is that same barn the green daytona is seen in

[69bronzeT5]

Holy Superbirds!

[69_500]

I'm going to say that the odds of that are slim to if at all. The barn with the Superbirds is Tom's, and I think that the only Daytona he has is a blue one. Now he does have a green 500 though.

[CornDogsCharger]

Oh LORD!!!!!! That is an swesome picture there!  Do you know when that picture was taken?  I would have to say that it isn't the same barn (surprised there is more than just one barn stashed with multiple wing cars).  The Beeler's only had two, at most, blue wing cars.  Still.... what an awesome photo!!

Is it just me, or does the blue bird look remarkably like the other bird, albeit a different angle? Perhaps Photoshopped? Maybe? Or maybe it's my covetous nature not wanting someone to have 4 wing cars. DANG!

[hotrod98]

At least they're protected from the elements a lot better than the four Superbirds sitting in the field in south Arkansas.

[69_500]

The above picture with the two blue superbirds is not a photoshop. My dad took the picture back in the early 80's. And I think that if you look close enough you'll see that there are 5 Superbirds in the photo, and if it was from another angle you'd have seen 2 more.

[69_500]

Someone else will have to chime in with the particulars. I don't know how many total he had at one time, but I know it was more than a handful of wing cars. Heck he had more Talladega's than one has fingers.

4, four,,, did I see 4 !!!  Superbirds under one pole barn !!!??
