If that's the same car it's had extensive repair.
Looks great now. Kudos on the work, and I think a fair price.
This must have been a real quick auction, as I was on Ebay yesterday and it wasn't there.

[nascarxx29]

 Yes same Car Same 1 owner Same dealer same vin.Its that car .It was fixed and saved

As mentioned in article on this link      http://www.superbirdclub.com/files/may_june_2006_newsletter.pdf

Well hopefully the new owner knows its history and the repair work done.
If not, he'll know soon enough.

what i was thinking too     

[Speedfreak]

Looks like it took a hell of a hit.  Came out nice cosmetically, but have a feeling it had to affect driveability in some way.

With a feedback of 1, I am kind of suspicious also.  I would have to see the car and paperwork before turning over any cash.  Could be legit 

[Indygenerallee]

I love this statement! 

We chained it between two trees and using a
chain fall, stretched it and straightened as best we could. Got the wheelbase within ¼". Using half a quarter panel, twenty-five
coat hangers and five gallons of bondo, we turned her red again. And that's how it stayed until March 29, 1997.

It was real!!!!!   

[WINGIN IT]

It was real!!!!!   

Did you buy it, or know who did?

Hopefully they will find their way onto the board.

[Speedfreak]

After reading how this car was pieced together, they ought to nickname it the Frankenstein Daytona, maybe just "FrankenTona"

I didn't want to say anything until the car was back safe in my garage.. but i'm a wing car owner now!!!! I still can't believe it. The car is awesome, one owner, the guy had written basically a journal of every time he adjusted carb, changed oil, plugs, engines(lol), etc. pretty cool car with some history. Here are a few pics!!


This morning in Florida:

That was a great read. Thanks for posting the link to the back story!   

Wonder what was up with the 68 engine paint job in that car?

[moparstuart]

congrats   

[r4daytona]

Thant looks like a great car!  I'm also jealous of your collection.  You guys with multiple cars make me feel sub standard.  Maybe I need to sell some of my coins to find another car of some kind.  Congrats !!

[nascarxx29]

The car goes back to early club member David Rogers Al .It recorded as a 4 red white interior and stripe .What does the buildsheet indicate,Being a only 1 owner car did he change it.And did he have the original engine.Cars looks good and is a well documented and 1 of 2 Daytonas from Bill Strange Dodge

The car was bought R4 red, black stripe, black interior. You can see by the wreck pic from 1970 the seats were black, the wing he wanted white and had the dealership paint white immediately after purchasing the car. His daughter was 17 years old and she remembers the whole family wanted it to have a white wing, including him, so he had it color changed immediately.

[nascarxx29]

 was curious as I seen it recorded this way in 79 records .1 owner mentions.The car came (from the factory) with a turquoise painted engine???

Congratulations on your purchase!   Good looking car.  Considering what this car has gone through, there is the possibility that structurally there may be problems, regardless on how well they may think they it was repaired.  My friend works on these computerized frame aligners and sees these problems every day when a car was hit as hard as this one was.   My advice to you is to drive it around and take it on the highway as soon as possible.  Also see if a local body shop can put it on their Car O Liner to check the specs.  If there is a problem you should contact eBay as soon as possible to file a claim, since it does not appear he disclosed this info in the listing.  Otherwise you could end up with a not so driveable car and the bill to make it road worthy.

He makes a good point. And one reason I asked if you drove it, to see if it was in good running/driving condition. Just think of it as another car with a big schnoz and you'll be fine

Awesome there Travis !

Man,  you're starting to sound like me....   

Granted, I had an ulterior motive in selling mine; getting the F6 Playboy...... But alas, it is gone....

Hence,,, I'm stuck with my common-run-of-the-mill-V2 Daytona.....

Weird thing i've noticed, wanted to ask the wing gurus.. Headlights work perfect, up and down. However when i shut engine off and let's say come back to the car 30 minutes later, the headlights have opened by themselves.. I have seen headlight doors on a 69 droop down with vacuum leaks, but never open on their own after power shuts off. as soon as i start the car, they go down. Any suggestions? It feels like Christine every time i go to my shop and see the doors up. lol

The vacuum leaks down and the springs lift the headlights.

This was to keep people from getting stranded in the dark.

Some guys remove the springs.

[A383Wing]

there are springs on the inboard of each headlight bucket. This is fail safe system in case you loose vacuum. sounds like yer headlight switch is either bad (the vacuum switch portion), or you have a leak in the vacuum can, or a crack in a hose somewhere

Spring looks like this:

Awesome buy!! Congrats!

[69charger2002]

Geez that was quick. Thanks guys!! 

Awesome buy!! Congrats!

Thanks!

[69_500]

Have seen a few people put a rubber strip in gap to keep the headlight doors from popping up. Wedge a thin strip into gap to hold them down when you lose vacuum.,

I take it this is from experience Stu?   
Does't it make it look like the car is wearing eyeliner ?
