Just the wrong sheetmetal and trim pieces you can see in the picture are numerous. Imagine what is wrong or missing that you can't see. I'll bet it has a fiberglass repo wing too.

I just love how the fender scoops are backwards!  They'll probably fly right off at highway speeds.

Bit much...ya think!

I want to build a clone, and I'm pretty sure I could start one and get it to that stage for a lot less than that, yikes.

i've heard , from people that have seen this car that it has bad rust issues.  :'(

That's the car that the guys at DSAC forum have talked about. It's the real deal and is absolutely full of rust. No one can rebody the car since it's already in the registry as a rust bucket. The guys that own it don't seem to care whether they sell it or not. They even drive it to local car shows to this day. A previous owner liked the 68 side marker lamps and added them to the car.

I believe this car was at Nats in Columbus in August. She looks rougher in person. . .

How bad IS the extent of the rust for those who've seen it?

Troy that car has rust on rust. It is bad. It would be possible to repair the car without doing a rebody, however doing a rebody would be 15 times cheaper than repairing all the rust on that car.

It is absolutely rough. However it is a true Daytona, and it is pretty close to what I want in a Daytona. Its missing the 4 speed though.

Sometimes we have to accept things for what they are. While I'm one of those guys that tries to restore every car that comes along, even I realize that there are cars that should be left alone. We can't return them all to their former glory.

Boy, what is it about Clayton's car recently?  Second thread this week about it...

I had a long-winded reply all typed up to defend Clayton against some of the comments made by others on this thread.  I'll refrain and give those people the benefit of the doubt.

Here is the other mention made of this car this week:
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,10550.0.html

A DC.com thread back in December
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,6808.0.html

The thread from the '70 Charger Registry forum back in July (right after D-C.com crashed and we were orphaned over there)
http://1970chargerregistry.com/70messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=1915&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

There may have been other threads about Clayton's car as well, but if you read the last two linked threads you'll see what the real story of the car is.  If you still have questions about the car or the seller, please feel free to ask here or PM me.

Hey Gene, I was told at the swap meet here in INDY that Clayton sold the car recently is that true?

I honestly don't know.  It's been a couple of months since I've talked with Clay or Clayton.  I'll maybe give them a call this week to find out what the story is.  Wouldn't surprise me if that was the case, with the way prices have shot up recently.  Someone's gonna take a flyer on it sooner or later.

There was a rumor I heard from two or three people last fall that he had sold it.  When I asked, he still had it - but that was back after Thanksgiving.

When I find out, I'll let you guys know.

Well I had heard it at the swap meet this weekend that they had sold it for $70K. I didn't figure they would take that for it, as  they kept asking around $100K.
