Sold my Red Daytona (Cry)

Started by Daytona Guy, July 19, 2005, 11:25:31 PM

Daytona Guy

I finally got to show both of my Daytona's together last Sat. Red Daytona took first in one class and the Yellow took second in it's class in an all Mopar Show. Had over 150 cars. I had no idea - and did not plan on selling my red one this soon. I could not turn down the offer. I will not say what I got out of respect for the new owner but I felt it was a fair deal. It was really not ready to sell, but he took it with all the flaws. It will stay local, if it is not sold again, so I liked that. I think he will do things with it that I just can't do. He talked about maybe a Hemi going in it.

I am sad. I put a lot of love into that car. It is in good hands. The guy has a Hemi Cuda covetable among other mopars. His car took first. I wish him and the car the best.

I wanted to at least drive the cars together so I asked him if I could follow him up to and on the freeway for a ways. Took some video and some pics and waved goodbye.

Hey man, that's sad news, but at least it's going to a good (local) home... and you still have that beautiful yellow and white one!  :yesnod:

BTW, did you get my private message I sent you??

Yes I did. Did you get my response. I was not sure if you got it because my connection disconnected when I sent it.

Your car deserved it. Regardless - Your 70 RT SE is a true car that is awesome. It probably was 200... I just guessed. Great to meet you again and talk. What a great show. When is the RT clubs show this year?

I heard over 200 cars.   Regardless a GREAT little show.  
If I would have known what you were doing with both cars, I would have entered a different class.   As it was, I watched you fill in modified so I was trying to get out of it.   I told my friends I didn't want to go up against the yellow Daytona!   Never in my wildest dreams did I plan on beating it.   When they announced you won second, I was looking around to see what beat you.   I was in shock.


I took a similar pic.   This was Sunday on the way home.   This is the last time my buddy will do this for me.   It helps that both my cars are automatics NOW.






Not only does Tom have a Hemi vert e body, he also has an AllBlue ChargerRT.
He's a luck SOB.

So he did decide to buy 'ol blue after all? Did you get what you wanted?

Dane, congrats on the sale. Hey, you can only drive one at a time anyway.

Why cry over a car ??? You probably got a load of money for it, use that money to buy something new and as fun as the Daytona..

I love my Charger, but if someone gives me the money I think its worth right now, well I wont think more than a split second and say -Give me the cash, here are the keys, enjoy it... And buy myself a new ride... When you die you wont be able to take your ride with you.. If I knew I could, well then it would be a compleatly different story...

I admire that Tom.  I tend to get to attached to some of these stupid things.

Daytona Guy

I am using hyperbole when I say cry. There is a bond -O- with a car that you get when you spend so much time with it. ;D ha. What is this other Board that everyone is talking about? I could care less if a thread goes in another direction. It becomes a game like Clue. Ha. My confusion on these boards is that I never know or remember who I am talking too.

Im not saying that Im not attached to my ride, if I said that Id be lying.. But the truth is that everythings for sale for the right price, and if someone would pay me what I think my ride is worth, well Id part with it and buy a new Mopar.. Maby I could buy that 440 blower Cuda 1970 I had my eye on, but sadly was to late to make an offer on it... But still noone has made me an offer that Id accept, so the Charger stays in my garage... And if that day comes, its not only the money, a guy/girl that would want to buy it, well he/she would have to prove to me that the Charger gets a good and caring new home.. If not, no deal.. This is probably most important to me, if I was to sell my ride, the knowledge that it gets a good home..

I might be slow but I think I am getting it AllblueRT   ;). If you need help let me know? This car will be on a t-shirt in Aug. Plus I do have some sweet pics of the car. Big   Pixels. Have a load of fun. Lets meet and cruz.

They're all a whirlwind.  I haven't wasted this much time on the computer since the 66-67 forum started up last Christmas.  Hey, this is kind of like Christmas in July!

 :o How long after I left did this event take place? Guess I missed all the fun but a guy's got to :sleep: sometime. Congrats to both of you fine gentlemen. I guess maybe I'll get another ride in the red car someday, eh Mike?  :icon_smile:

If you ever want to get together and cruise around Portland let me know? I had my Yellow one up in Portland last week and WOW, what a responce. Get ready. Everyone will say, "Nice Bird". Da. and "Is it real". Sometimes I will say, "What do you think?" Just to see if they know what they are looking at. It sure is funny how things happen so fast.

I love this new board. I like it better than the DC.com board. Faster, cleaner, more user friendly and for me the spell chekker is grate. ;D

I am done cloning for a while. I might pic up a rear plug and and some parts here and there. But for now I want to do all the little things to make this Yellow car better.

A Fella from Portland bought my car. Then Mike apparently made a deal with him the next day at the Mopar Nationals at Woodburn to trade his Blue RT.

I had no clue untill around noon what went down. to cool.

Hopefully it ends up in the hands of someone who'll treat it like a family member quickly & not flipped on the internet for the next 3 years. ::)

So the red car is  gone now. So what color do you intend to do next. I mean come on we all know you will do another one here in the future. You can't just stop now can you? :)

Congrats Dane -

I hope you got what you wanted for the car and that you had it for long enough to really enjoy. Just think, now you can build something else!

Thanks guys. As I think we all know, this is a great community to be a part of. If it wasn't for people like you, NYCMille, my car would not have the look it has (wheels) and KWS for my interior look - (although nine is a cheep imitation) I am still running into so many guys with Chargers at shows that had no idea about our former site, but this one will be promoted now. There is no going back. Beside, I love the spell check.
