I went and looked at that car about 4 years ago. When he first opened up the door I was thinking there was a chance that it was one of my dad's old cars. But as it turned out it wasn't. Not a horrible car, but it was right after I had bought the 500, and there was no way I could talk my wife into 2 cars in a span of 8 weeks or so.

Read that old post. Very interesting about someone trying to steal the rims and having the tire fall off which caused the qtr. panel damage. 

r4daytona

I was told by Mike from legendary that the October MCG with my car is on newsstands.  Sometimes its hard to find that around here so if anybody has it, let me know how it sounds. I didn't write the story so don't go tearing me a new one if something is incorrect. LOL  Dane, looking forward to talking and meeting with you out there.

TheAutoArchaeologist

Yup, I did a good portion of the magazine with the MoPowered Tour coverage.  If you can't find a copy, I can snap a few photos of it for you.

r4daytona

Thanks, I've seen the cover just hope that the grocery store gets some copies so I can see what was written.

So now my curosity has to ask where you found them.  THey appear to be older because they are not the tires that it went down there with.  I wonder if this was shorty after Musclecarfinders blasted and primed it?? However, i've been known to be wrong before!

The car was listed multiple times on eBay back in 2008 - the last time was June, 2008.

Just got back from seeing Tom and his beautiful girl freind in Stpingfeild ORIGUN (for those who don't know how to say Oregon), where I got to see Tom's Daytona before they work their magic. Tom is a gem of a man, a first class guy. Did I say how prity his girl friend was was :) ? We had a lot of fun with the guys (Mark Wormam) from Graveyard Carz Discovery network. I saw the work that they have done on other cars, Tom chose wisely.  These guys are fun to be around, down to earth, and knowledgable. This is going to be a fun wait - to see how the program turns out.

Tom, thank you for letting me be a part of your experience- it was an honor. Sorry I had to bug out on dinner, I really needed to get back home.

Dane


r4daytona

Thanks for the kind words Dane, wish we could have had dinner. Your car is even better in person and Mark was quite impressed. I have to say it did look bad ass in my mirror. I think Mark is one of a handful of guys that knows mopars inside and out, but humble enough to know where to ask if he's unsure.  he was VERY impressed that you make those wings and even mentioned it in the interviews/comments and may be put on the show.  I have to say that I am very pleased that NAPA has basically donated an entire front suspension rebuild and most of the braking system.  He said he may be done with the "weathertight shell" as soon as January and wants us to come back up then.  Dane, maybe we can do dinner at that time.  I do need your address to mail you a little thank you.  To everyone out there though, I am looking for a correct alternator for may car with a 6-2 build date and Mark is looking for an alternator for a 71 charger -- that would have a 70 on the outer case and a stamping around june, july or august.   Anybody got one??
Thanks  Tom

Seriously - the thanks goes to you. This will be a fun year for you.


r4daytona

 Here's an offer and some questions. I have also found a place up here that has HUNDREDS of old roundback alternators. Lots of them from 68 thru 71. Been looking thru them for correct date for my car. My car was built june 2nd (about the 21st week of june) I found one stamped the 5th week of june.  Think this would work or is it still a bit to early for the date of the car?  AND here's a offer that could get me in trouble, if anybody would like me to look for a alternator for them I can -- and wont require a finders fee. I did find an alternator with a stamping of 66 with the mounting plate and tensioning/adjustment plate. Well, I'm not sure on the progress of the car basically because i haven't asked. I kind of want to be surprised, but I will ask Mark if he can post some photos sometime.  Couple of questions if you guys could answer them. I may be selling the following items when the car is done: a nice, restorable drivers side headlight door and (sorry I don't know the name) that curved metal piece that goes on the underside front of the decklid that caps off the cut part of the decklid. I thought my original decklid was history so I bought a nice charger lid to make a new one for the daytona. My car came with that other piece, but Mark wants to keep the original lid with the car so he is going to take my original apart and restore it, therefore I may be selling that extra piece I have. Any ideas on value?
