Daytona/Charger 500 Trunklid

[winged69]

Anybody know of, have  an original trunklid for a daytona or Charger 500? Need one in nice shape.

If you find a perfect one as in orig paint never rust repaired it will cost you small fortune . Why not simply make one ?? Keep in mind only that the orig ones were built by Chimps @ Creative and kicked out the door .
I assure Larry Hotrod 98 can make you a better than orig complete with steel cap . I would buy new AMD deck lid and have him cut and cap it .

Yep, I bought a cap and modified my stock deck lid.

Very nice !! Gene G cap ??

[Indygenerallee]

Yep

how much is a cap?

[Nwcharger]

Gene Gregory's close out panel is the best out there. But that's my opinion.

[Indygenerallee]

Think it was $450.00

[Nwcharger]

On my records for my daytona clone it was much less than 450.00 but it was almost 4years ago. Ill still buy another if its that much now. Great piece. 

[Indygenerallee]

Yeah I bought this about 2 years ago and Gene is a heck of a nice guy (but a hard one to get ahold of!  ) I am positive I paid $450 cause I kinda cringed when he shot me that price but he said he had a limited amount left so that may have been the reason of the price.

Here's what an NOS race Daytona lid looks like...  

And yes, that IS a metal stress crack you can see!  Debating leaving it original or fixing it...

what's the difference between the race version and the street version trunk lids?

[Indygenerallee]

Hood pin hold downs on the race version.. pretty sure that would be the only difference.

[daytonalo]

Those extra holes =$$$$$$$$$$

[hotrod98]

I might have an extra closeout panel.  They're identical to the originals.  I would have to look but I might have a nice deck lid as well.

If anyone's interested, I also have four sets of wing braces left that I would sell. I actually have seven sets but three sets are spoken for including the set that I'm using on my F&F Daytona clone.  $95.00 shipped in the 48 states

I also have a few sets of the front braces left. They include the frame braces, the latch tray to tie bar brace and the lower nose to valance brace.  $140.00 per set  These braces are correct. The frame braces have the offset as originals.

After these sets are gone, I won't be making any more. Other people will still have them but at a higher price.

email me if you're interested  hotrodcuda98@hotmail.com

 Gean Gregory used my original trunk lid cap off my rusty Daytona trunk lid. The cap was the only good part. Gean sent my cap back, and one of his. They both looked the same, the bends, folds, creases. I could not tell the difference. He did a great job on them. He could have sold them as NOS- THEY WERE THAT GOOD   Rick.

[Daytona R/T SE]

I gave Gene $200 for my trunklid reinforcement panel.

[daytonalo]

Pretty sure I paid 200.00 for mine as well

In your opinion, what's an original, nos lid worth?   

I did a bunch of trading for a bunch of parts and both me and my buddy thought it came out fair for both of us.

I've seen used originals over the years priced from $500 up to $1500......NOS would be few and far between, but there's plenty of "fools" that will part with large sums of cash for NOS wingcar parts

We guestimated trading value for the lid at $1,200.   
Got an NOS rear plug for the same "price".
