1970 dodge charger 'daytona'

[1974dodgecharger]

Very rare I think only 1 one was build in 1970 a charger daytona should be worth gazillion dollars

[Kern Dog]

Joking, right?

[Ghoste]

I hope.

[wingcar]

Wow....Petty drove a Daytona back in the day....the 43 always looked like a Superbird to me....
I think "someone" needs to learn a bit more about Chryslers history..... 

[sunfire69]

Yep....I had a 70 Daytona.....had a 429 Hemi...with A/C  and auto...it was red with a black vinyl top....

[hatersaurusrex]

Wow and that guys is the President and CEO of the SRT group...

[ACUDANUT]

Well the original ones did have 70 fenders and hood right ? 

[Ghoste]

But the guy in charge of SRT should know better.

[Budnicks]

But the guy in charge of SRT should know better.

Bingo we have a winner....LOL...you would think he would know Chryslers racing history after all... But it's just a promo for the newest F&F movie, no reality here/there...

[HeavyFuel]

Common folks like us throw out facts and figures in casual discussion.....sometimes we get things off a bit now and then....it happens, no big deal.

But these guys......promo video going out to the world?  No excuse not to have the facts straight.

[ACUDANUT]

So who is going to write them and tell them it was a 69. ?

I agree he couldnt even get it right I just laughed at the video when the FandF car director of the series talks about the 'special daytona 1970'.

[vancamp]

Bunch of morons

[nvrbdn]

when watching it, its like they didnt realize that the 69 (daytona) and the 70 (superbird) were different cars.   

[Ghoste]

They probably don't.

[Mike DC]

 
Get over it.  Not everyone is a wing car nut. 

I'll say it again - if Gilles had mentioned that Petty drove a Plymouth, half the 14yo kids watching the video would be thinking, "What does an old NASCAR driver have to do with that rock the Pilgrims landed on?" 



The wing car era was more than 40 years ago. 

Remember when you were 14?  At that time, how much did you know about the motorsports that happened 40+ years before that?   

     

[Ghoste]

So the fact that 14 year olds are unaware of automotive history makes it okay for the adult in charge of Chrysler's performance division who also claims to be an avid Mopar enthusiast to not know?  Sorry Mike I am going to have to pass that glass of Kool-Aid on to somebody else.

[Old Moparz]

Not only is it a Fast & Furious cartoon flick, it's sequel number 6. Why does anyone take this so seriously?

The next one will be a prequel from when they were kids with pedal car ricers & plotting over how to smuggle candy.

i knew the differences between a superbird and daytona when i was 14 

[Ghoste]

True enough.  I will however stand by my opinion that the head of SRT should know better.  (if for no other reason than he claims to be an avid Mopar guy)

[GOTWING]

what's with the stupid fake wheelies? 

[Ghoste]

Bob just told you, it's a cartoon.   

[bull]

They don't know an American automotive marque that just ended in 2001 but they know about an event from 1620? Most 14-year-old boys I hung around growing up did not pride themselves on facts from American history but we all knew a lot about cars and motorcycles. We were already arguing about which brand was best. Two years from getting my own license? We were living and breathing motorsports.

[Budnicks]

600-700 lbs of ballast hung of the back of the car, it's real wheelies, just staged made to look like it's a power wheelie...

Oh, I have no doubt there are some modern kids who still live & breathe motorsports.  I'm sure they know a lot of stuff about Honda & Subaru & BMW, for example.  

It's not just that Plymouth hasn't existed for a decade, it's that they were mostly just a rebadge for another 10-20 years before that.  Kids have not had much reason to learn something about Plymouth since they were making Roadrunners & Satellites.  



Seriously, I imagine that many/most of the car-guy kids are aware that there used to be a brand called Plymouth.  But it probably carries about as much motorsports significance in their minds as Saturn does.  And many of the moderate car loving kids won't be aware of it at all.  When you were born in the late 1990s or early 2000s, just that far back already seems like a long time.

i know a girl whos currently in grade 9 (moving onto grade 10) shes knowledgeable about the 2 1969 zl1 corvettes, the handful of charger 500's, knows the difference between the daytona and superbird, and can list off the modifications done to each car, shes mostly into gm's (which is fine by me  ) but knows alot of facts about gm ,ford ,dodge and amc, Hope she manages to pass that onto her friends, the world could use a few more female car nuts 

[maxwellwedge]

I say always be aware about females with nuts......

I agree, but I also thought it was funny to compare it to Plymouth Rock. Made me think of a Jaywalking segment asking people American history questions. I wonder how many Americans could say where the name Plymouth originated, at least as it relates to US history.

Got me wondering what the word means. It's the name of the town situated at the mouth of the River Plym in England. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth
