...15 winged cars in our town/county

[69 DAYTONA]

...just thinking how many winged cars there have been within our city limits and how many have been in our county over the years
...New Castle Indiana is a town of approximately 15-17,000 population, it also had a Maxwell/Chrysler Plant for nearly 100 years...muscle cars and MOPARS in particular have always been in abundance here...currently there are 3 Superbirds(1 is a convertible Phantom)and 2 Daytonas in our little town, but since 1969 I can think of 9-10 different locally owned winged cars ...adding the ones within 10 miles of my house bumps the number up to 15 or more (7 or so were Daytonas)..it surely is a record of some sort...years ago, there were as many as 17 AAR Cudas and T/A Challengers in our county, probably still a dozen or so locally owned Trans Am cars

Thats interesting  .I was always curious to what amounts of cars and what states received them

Larry just think about all of the Daytona's that there were in Hancock county. Where we and Jones lived, and Scwatz (could be spelling his name wrong). And the biggest city in that area was greenfield, which had about 7-8000 people in the 80's.

Six and one clone within 30 mi .

I only know of one Yellow Bird that gets out at the occasional cruise night and the orange Bird at the Simeon museum. Im sure there others but Ive never seen them.

[rnjump]

  There are four Daytonas around here and maybe three superbirds. A small town 100 miles north of us has four 'birds in a population of 2000 +/-.  One of the Daytonas is a Hemi.

...so many I couldn't even begin to count

spin it back to 1970, and tally up the NEW ones running around a specific area.

[69_500]

Between the east side of Indy to New castle just going out 70, in the 70's you would have ran into around 25-30 Aero cars.

[held1823]

how many do you guys think were owned new in this area? i imagine that number is higher than average, especially when factoring in the population.

two daytonas and at least one superbird were brand new in new castle

[nascarxx29]

I did this a while ago using the daytona shiplist that was in my newsletters

69 Daytona list per state totals going from the current standing list number to date #501 cars from pages supplied in my club newsletter that shows the new car shipments for 69 daytonas and locations shipped to Including serial numbers and dealer number and dealer location. Also shows what states did and did not recieve a 69 daytona .Starting with the 440s AL-11 AZ-5 AR-2 CANADA 45 CA-38 CO-12 CON-2 DE-1 FL-16 GA-16 HAWAII-2 ID-1 IL-22 IN-21 IA-3 KAN-7 KEN-5 LOU-7 ME-1 MD-2 MASS-5 MI-26 MINN-3 MISS-1 MO-21 MONT-1 NEB-4 NV-2 NH-2 NJ-6 NY-26 NC-13 NDKT-1 SDKT-4.OH-25 OK-9 ORE-7 PA-23 RI-3 SC-4 TN-5 TX-20 UT-1 VT-1 VA-13 WA ST-7 WA-DC-2 W VA-1 WI-9-The 426 states AZ-1 CANADA-5 CA-7 CO-3 GA-1 IL-1 IN-1 KAN-1 MD-1 MI-2 MO-1 NY-1 NC-1 OH-3 PA-1 SC-1 TX-3 WVA-1 WI-1 .Total #501 465- 440 Hemi-36 for the 47 states 1 line was unreadable unknown state. 2 cars were 440 dodge exec cars with no dealer location in house cars and figured in with the MI total.Only #3 states didnt recieve 69 Daytona on this current list Alaska-New Mexico-Wyoming

good info about how they were allocated, but unrelated to where the cars ended up when sold.

neither of the two daytonas owned new in new castle were sold in new castle, although both were indiana cars; larry's came from noblesville, ours from rushville.

our car even came from a different state (IN) than where originally thought (WA) when that info was collected, didn't it?

[nascarxx29]

Even with the aero vintage ads I relocated .Seldom the listed newspaper ad.Is consistant with shiplist info

[69_500]

I know of 2 500's that were sold new on the east side of Indy. One Q5 one T3 SE.

[held1823]

did they stay in the indianapolis area, danny?

as limited as the c500's and daytonas were, it wouldn't surprise me if people traveled a good distance to snag one

[69_500]

Not currently they are not.

q5 500 was one my dad had in late 70's to mid 80's. It's not in the US anymore.
T3 SE was also still on east side of Indy until mid 80's. No longer in this state either.

However I can say that I know of 12 500's that are currently in this state.

[held1823]

i meant were the original owners from the area, but i think i'm the only one in this thread with an eye on 1970.

everyone else's replies make perfect sense, since the thread isn't about how things were around here in 1970.

[69 DAYTONA]

...I only remember 3 new Winged Cars in New Castle, only saw the Bird a time or two...I worked in Indy during 69-70 and missed some of the stuff going on here...my current 6BBL Bird cruised in New Castle some, it was sold new in Connersville...I remember seeing it in the showroom in 1970

[nascarxx29]

A place in Warsaw Indiana had a few Superbird always for sale classic car center might have been called

[held1823]

not new ones

[mopar4ya]

Grew up in a town with the population of 1200. As many as 8 wing cars within a 3 mile radius at one time. 7 have been there for 30 plus years.

[chargerman69]

Especially a few !!!!   

[69bronzeT5]

I know of one Daytona, one Superbird and a couple of 500's in British Columbia

It's interesting to see where so many of these cars seemed to end up.  The real high end cars i.e. multi-carb or big motor 4 speeds were always slim in my part of the world(AZ).  Not many dealers wanted cars with no A/C sitting on the lots.  Plenty of 440-4bbl cars with A/C and power options, but not many bruisers.  It sucks for those of us who prefer the bruisers.  There's virtually no such thing as original AZ, NM cars left here to buy locally.  All the local heavy cars that are here now started life somewhere else and ended up here.  My 500 was originally from Minnesota, thank god it left that area while it was still a virtually new car.
