[nascarxx29]

Thanks for the link   I looked up its vintage dealer ad to see if top was mentioned and document it

[learical1]

It had a vinyl top in 1974.

Am I wrong, but that Daytona stripe looks like it's on backwards...(wrong side).

[Dave Kanofsky]

Something sure looks wierd about it...

[richRTSE]

If a miracle happened and I got to own that car, the vinyl top would soon be history regardless of how long it's been there and who put it on.

I have to agree on that. I'm a big fan of vinyl tops on regular Chargers but not so much on a Daytona. All in what you're used to I suppose but it isn't growing on me very fast.

That stripe is correct for the ERTL 1/18 models.......

Rob Wolf personally witnessed this top being installed at the St Louis plant in 1969.

If that makes no sense, remember to never question Mopar Collector's Guide.

I think it looks awesome with that vinyl top on it  -Matt

Found this reference to Pat Harper, former owner of this car.

I like it to, goes well with the wing.
If the interior was white that would make it even better IMO

Does anyone know the auction results on this Daytona? In the auction write up it is stated that this is one of 3 known matching number HEMI 4 speed Daytonas and also one of the most optioned?
Thanks! Mopar John

I always heard the Otis Chandler - Kevin Greene - Tim Wellborn Hemi 4-speed was the only 100% matching car.

Does anyone know the auction results on this Daytona?

There were a couple of cars there that I'd like to know the results on.
They are not posted yet on their site.

[Aero426]

I will bet dollars to donuts that it is a no-sale.

[WINGIN IT]

Dollars , donuts, whatever, what I want to know is how MANY 

[Aero426]

The house may be able to bid anything up to the reserve on behalf of seller, so unless it's SOLD, the bid is somewhat meaningless.   

If it was a successful sale, you can bet there'd be a press release on it.
