I know it isn't as close as the corner convenience store, but what about bringing it to the Chrysler show at Carlisle & putting it in the cars for sale area? It'll give you an excuse to go & hang out with everyone too.

With the time I'm going to be away from work and family with Talladega and the Air Force, I really don't have the time nor money to do all that and go to Carlisle. Believe me, I would love to go to Carlisle........  So, the internet and Doug's newsletter will have to do for now.. My biggest thing is getting the '68 further along..

Whats the reason for the sale?  If i had a Daytona i dont think i could part with it..  But then, every man has his price, even my C500 would get sold for the right price.

[Ghoste]

With prices being what they are at the moment and the amount of items on the block here I would hazard a guess that this is less about Doug having his price and something a little more personal.  Life has a funny way of deciding for us what our priorities are in spite of what our dreams say.

Yes, it's true.   Daytona is for sale - someone step up and buy it.   Check out the slide show at the link below.   It's an incredibly clean car.   Just drove it 225 miles to Chicago and back on Sunday.

The Spoiler II is already sold.

All the NOS parts are up for grabs.  If you ever needed a piece of Superbird sheet metal, from nose to tail, here is your chance.  I will put a list up later.

None of this is a change in prioities, just a once in a lifetime chance to buy a car I have dreamed of.

doug I'd love to be able to step up and be able to purchase your Daytona, but its not going to happen. I tried and tried to talk the wife into doing it. But she is still wanting to pick up some property before she allows me to close the deal on another car. Which is fine, because last time I checked I think I still have about 50 years left in the average life expectancy.

The final chapter of this tale could prove very interesting.

[FJ5WING]

To read Dougs reply is a relief!

when I firs saw his cars listed a few weeks ago and then the parts stash I was worried about the possibility of an illness. You dont come across someone cleaning out the garage too often.

I hope things work out and you get that dream car Doug.

[Beep Beep Dave]

The only reason I could see selling off a bunch of areo cars would bee to replace them with a Lift Off Hood car
That Daytona is sweet, hopefully we can have a few dream come trues and happy endings.

[hotrod98]

More than once, I've considered selling a couple of my cars to buy a bird, but it's hard to let them go. I guess if the right car came along, I would change my mind...again.

YOu know me so well......

We drove the wingrunner to the post office this morning and when I came out there was a guy standing next to the car talking to his buddy on the cell phone. He was yelling...yes ' I'm serious..I'm standing here looking at a real Superbird...right here in Greenwood, Arkansas.

Moral of the story...If I had a real bird to drive, I wouldn't have to continually explain that it's just a 69 runner with a wing.

to those that want the daytona how would you restore it if you did? Would you go with as painted restoration or back to factory delivered?

I would go with the factory paint.

It's been the way it is now for far longer than it was ever Hemi Orange, that's for sure.     

[hemi68charger]

Must I say? I love V2 with a white stripe..........

[moparstuart]

Leave it alone! 

it's a piece of wing car history leave it the way it is   

[69_500]

Personally I'd leave the car that Doug has the way it is. There is no need for yet another Daytona that wears a custom paint job to be taken back to stock appearance. Once you do that, it becomes nothing more than just another Daytona. That being said, I'd give my right arm for the car. Talked to the Dr's about it though, and I guess the going rate for a right arm isn't near the price for a Daytona. So for now I'll keep the arm, and continue to dream about the Daytona's.

[WINGR]

I'm going to leave it the way it is, oh wait sorry I am just dreaming because it's out of my range right now. I love Hemi Orange paint too, but that car has so much history in that current paint scheme. Oh how I wish I had the cash.

[XS29J8]

Must I say? I love V2 with a white stripe..........

Troy, you need to pursue a different Daytona............If I could afford this Daytona, I'd also be looking for a boat to match it up to the original.
Give the car its due as it is really a part of the Wing Car history books especially with Doug's family having owned it for so long. The CornDog resto was a bit of a mistake but after seeing it stripped down it needed too much work & needed to be redone. Doug's Daytona needs very little and would be a joy to drive and share with others as is! If someone buys this it needs to be put in a museum as is or enjoyed for years to come as is. My 

Cheers
Steve

[maxwellwedge]

I would leave it and drive it - Leave the stone chip worries to the Trailer Poodles 

[rav440]

 

[pettybird]

I'd want to find a boat for it, too!


Doug do you have pics with the car and boat together?

I bought a car once someone had owned like 20 years, problem was it was always referred to as "Blanks" car, I finally had to sell it knowing it would never be my car even though I owned it for a couple years...

We are all care takers & preservationists of these iconic marks of history...........geesh I sound like an enviro whacko.........most people weren't lucky enough to keep their original cars much less own them through the 60's & 70's. I'm sure there are several people who know this car as yours because you had it when they saw it. We all will pass so & so's car on to someone else eventually.....

I'm sure the guy who owns Whitey now is glad he's in New York and I'm in Texas. Everyone identified me with Whitey, not it's Dana.. Next, maybe something with a wing...

My best bought my old 318 '68 Charger it was forever known as, "Oh, you own Troy's '68".....  Remember Andy? 

[69_500]

I think its easy to sometimes tie a certain car with the person who has owned it for a long time. However if you get to know the newer person who has the car, to me it becomes theirs. If I don't know them personally I still refer to cars as ______'s old car.

[nascarxx29]

They get recognized or say tagged as who car it was.Long after its sold and gone. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,35858.0.html  Wingcars old Daytona! .And who gets Dougs car  will refer to it as Dougs old car

[b5blue]

I read these topics and can't help remembering in 72 our janitor at Seminole High School had a red Superbird he drove to work! Kids would poke fun at the nose and wing and I use to defend it/him telling them "you don't know anything! These cars made history! Man I got pissed at them! I use to go look at it every day before going home...I like to think that car is still somewhere! Hats off to you Wing Guys!!!

[hergfest]

As Jay Leno says, I don't own my cars.  I'm just keeping them for the next owner.

Now that I have several, I've become a maintenance man.

've become a maintenance man.  yesnod

  ah--yep

[FJ5WING]

I bought my superbird when it was 16 years old, Ive owned it for 23 years which puts me as owning it longer than the prior 2 owners combined.

I think if I were to sell it would be referred to as my old car if it stayed local. 

[pettybird]

it would be cool if I had the money for it--the car could still be "doug's." 


about 5 years ago Mom took the lead in the who-owned-it-longest category for our birds.  1976-89 for Dad, then 89-current.  I tell people they're hers now--pretty wild for her to keep the cars then, and now it's been twenty years since Dad passed.
