what ever happened to Al's mint C500 (green)?

[WINGR]

Hey Doug, how are you doing? Yes I am probably going to keep the woodgrain wheel on her because I have always liked them. If I would have had the extra money I would have put one on the Daytona too. Of course I will keep the original wheel in case I decide to switch it out later.

That's too bad that they might farm out my old car, I was hoping that you would be a involved in finishing her up. You know that car will always have a special place in my heart, who knows maybe someday I will have the opportunity to buy it back. Here's the part where I need to win the lottery, then I could buy the orange Hemi Daytona also.

Please tell your Mom that we wish her a Merry Christmas as well. Hope you guys have a very safe and great holiday.

Steve

Hi Clan500,

What are the actual dates of the 09-Dega Show???

Will do my best to get there from England!

By that time there should be plenty of cheap Wingcars up for grabs? (credit crunch).

It will be my twenty year anniversary of nearly buying a "Uk based" Petty blue Bird, and a Daytona from Galen!

The Uk Bird was £6000 and the Daytona was $5000.(1989 prices)

Will those days ever return???

I hope so, as all Moparnuts should have owned at least one Wingcar!!!

Evenso, the C500's are much rarer and less "GAWDY", in the words of the "KING" Richard!!!

Happy Christmas Clan500, from 500Jon.

Merry Christmas Jon.........

The $5000 Daytona? I don't think so........ Maybe when they become lawn-art..........

I don't think we will ever see the $5,000 prices on DAytona's again. Then again stranger things have happened before. I think that we might see the days of a $50K daytona again in the next 2 decades.

[als500]

I think you're right about $50.000 but I think we will see it about 7 to 10 year. The same thing happen to corvette about 7 years ago, once that baby boomer start to unload the cars the prices sink quickly. I hope that I'm wrong about this. 

[pettybird]

the only vettes we sell for under 50 grand are C3's and newer, and even then we're still getting good money for them.  besides--vettes suck   

exotics went down in the 90's but have rebounded back over their previous level.

I don't think we'll see the stupid growth we went through a couple years ago but the cars will always go up.

the other problem with the 50k in 20 years idea is inflation.  we'll be lucky if 50 grand buys us a tank of gas in 20 years!


Speaking of inflation, did anyone else buy a 100 BILLION DOLLAR bill from Zimbabwe?  I bought a couple on eBay for like $8 delivered.  when printed they would buy three eggs at a farmer's market

Hi Aero-Folks.

Galen had 3 Daytona's advertised in Hemmings Mag. back in 1990.
They were $15K, $10K, $5K!
I had the money to buy one and by the time i spoke to him, the $5K was the only one left.
During the conversation he realised I was a 'Limey' and refused to sell to me???
I have met him a few times at Vegas and Spring Fling LA and felt like giving him a verbal thrashing!!!
He UPSET ME FOR YEARS, his refusal to sell to me?

But God rewarded me in the the end, with a 4-speed C500, WHOOPEE!!!

Much rarer and MUCH more pratical to drive on the STREET!!!

Would love to build a Nascar Daytona before I die, or buy one already done if my numbers come up!

500Jon not DaytonaJon or SuperBirdJon LOL!

[nascarxx29]

Those were actually Dave Patiks cars that he resuced from junkyards back in the day.Galen had the ad as you desribed which included the F6 roll over daytona.That Tom from Long Island NY bought and sold to Tim L In Austrailia who saved it

[500Jon]

Thanx XX29.

Must be a 'LIMEY' thing with Galen???
I've worked on alot of Wingcars in the last ten years.
In a strange way I'm glad I never bought one.
They are a wonderful sight to behold, but not I feel, right for a UK road!
Even the 'King' said they were tooo 'Gawdy' for the street.(SuperBird).
The C500's were always a great idea, its just the Fords were better on the day.
We all know they cheated and remodelled the rockers for lower ground-clearance!
If Mother-Mopar had done some cheating too then the C500 may have won?
Then the Daytona wouldn't exist, not sure if the 'King' would have drove a C500?
If he did drive a succesful Runner in 68 then the Superbird may have not been invented either LoL!

The rest is history 500Jon
