...5 years since it was out on the street, pix

[69 DAYTONA]

...last week there was discussion over R6 Red and R4 Red...I tried to post pix of my Daytona and realized I have NEVER taken any decent pix of it

...bought it in 1988 from the original owner, sold it in 1999, bought it back in 2009 from the same guy I sold it to making me the 2nd and 4th owner

...doccumented "dealer installed" 6-PACK

...9,450 actual miles

...never rusted, dented or damaged in any way

...all matching numbers, tons of paperwork

[69 DAYTONA]

...it started right up and drives like new...topped of the tank, and took a couple hundred pix in case it never gets out again, LOL

...car was originally R4 Red, painted Plum Crazy and white shortly after it was sold new, then painted Petty Blue and Red striped...finally repainted the original color combo about 15 years ago...all else is original

Very nice.     

Glad to hear that such a car is in great hands.

any chance of getting the bird over to south mound for photos alongside the daytona? that would be beyond cool

Nice!

How could you ever let it go in the first place? 

Beautiful car!

Larry, looks great.

Tried to message you on your facebook ( didn't realize this was your Charger screenname ). What are the dimensions of the rims up front? As you probably saw, at one time I had the NASCAR rims on mine ( 15x8 w/4.0 back spacing ). Because of the 4.0 backspacing, the sidewall, on occasion, would rub the wheel lip ( and molding, which isn't good ). May just put them back on after the Hemi's installed and raise the front end a wee bit via torsion bar adjustment...

The car does look great!  (I remember one of those other paint combos too)

[TUFCAT]

I saw the car when the Mopar Nationals was at Indy...about 1995 maybe. Brownie mascow owned it. It was windy and he had a sign near the car. The sign blew into the pass side door (if I remember) and put a small door ding in it. 

[r4daytona]

Very sharp car, does look nice with those wheels.

[daytonalo]

That is one sweet machine !!

...not sure of the size, the driver side will barely rub from time to time

But which color scheme would MCG complain about being painted over?  Inquiring minds want to know.

[62 Max]

I took those pictures in 1985,bought my bird from him in 1982 still the same scheme,I saw the car for the first time in the mid 70's,never saw it any other way.

  Awesome Daytona !! 

[daytonalo]

ONLY ONE WORD COULD POSSIBLY EXPLAIN THE PAINTING OF THIS DAYTONA . LCD

the way i read it, there are about 198 more photos to add to this thread.

and that's just the new ones. here's one of the oldies...

...my dad would get the Daytona out on Sundays and take it for a spin...he thought the red/blue Daytona was the most beautiful car he had ever seen...he was quite old and every time he parked the car at a restaurant people would try to buy it from him

[472 R/T SE]

Is this one of the former era correct paint rides that mcg cried about "corndog" restoring?

[Old Moparz]

Nice looking car, I really like the tires & wheel combo.
