Wow thats alot of Chargers. Did youre car have a title from Warner Brothers in their name? Very cool.

Here is one for you. You will never believe this one. It was a few hours from me back in 1982. This is a Daytona 4spd car. I had a Lime green Superbird at the time and this car came up for sale. I went to look at it and thought I really dont want to restore this. I was just going to put it in storage and get to it later but I was a nice guy and called a buddy and let him buy it for $1000!!!!!!!

WB actually left my car's title signed off by the guy that owned it before they bought it. They then wrote up legal paperwork from WB and Hazzardous productions with the title to sell the car to me. So it of course, also has no restrictions on it

I was wondering about that title because when I bought my car from Warner Brothers the title reads Warner Brothers feature films and I was told that this is the first time in history that they ever sold a car with title and I can do whatever I want with the car they will back it up anytime. Do you still have the car? What number is it?

Well the Daytona is an oarnge 4spd car and I went to look at it in 1982. The guy who owned it was nuts he told me he was in the crazy home for a while. I had no idea what he was talking about but he told me he used to make tennis shoes like the ones I was wearing there. He had like 6 cars in the basement of this house and I couldnt figure out how he got them there. Turns out there was an elevator that could fit a car. My buddy didnt have a winged car and I did so I called him. Really wish I would have bought it because I would have restored it and had it today :-\. I ended up selling my Superbird because I wanted a 4spd winged car but as soon as I did they started going up in price. I looked at several but never could get the right deal. I will be back in action soon I am getting wing car fever. I decided to sell some cars and I will have another before to long.

He wants to keep it quiet until he gets it done so I am respecting that. As soon as its done I will share

In an earlier post I didnt notice the link to the red Charger 500. I looked at it and it has to be the same car I have pictured. It hit something real hard probabally a highway crash. Thanks for the information that was neat but sad :brickwall:
