MECUM AUCTIONS HOUSTON APRIL 9-11 HAS ANOTHER HEMI DAYTONA AUCTION!!

[Mopar John]

I just read my most recent copy of AUTO WEEK and there is a MECUM AUCTIONS ad with another HEMI DAYTONA going up for auction!
It is scheduled for the Houston auction April 9-11. It looks to be an R4 car with black wing. Maybe the good result from the Welborn
Daytona is going to shake some others loose of their long term owners? Maybe the owner is someone from our site?

i don't know about now, but if i hit the lottery before the auction you can bet the new owner is a member here

I believe it is the car from the Brett Torino collection in Las Vegas.   Should be the former Phil Jackson owned car that was once painted blue and yellow.   I will also infer that it is not a numbers matching engine as that is not claimed in the auction listing.

There will be a R-code B5 Supebird there as well from my understanding... I am going to try and make it there. There's also a R4 J-code 4speed Daytona up in the Dallas area. The guy who owned my Daytona is restoring it now. Maybe I should take my Wanna-Be J-code V2 Daytona there......

That's what I was thinking. But if we both hit the power ball I'll be bidding against you!

[Dave Kanofsky]

This is some quality ad writing and fact checking...

"...with the Hurst Pistol Grip-shifted heavy duty 4-speed..."

Trombinos?   Sounds like a pizza restaurant.

How old is the restoration on this HEMI DAYTONA?
Do we know what shop did the work?
Is the vin number out there?

I think Julius did the resto and that the car last changed hands "about" ten years ago.

Oh now I've heard of that car. No radio option maybe. Is that possible? Going off memory here. Interesting to see what it goes for. Car is at bottom of this previous thread.

Beautiful Daytona !  Now I get some idea of what my R/T would look like with the wheel covers installed.  My build sheet calls for F70-15 redline tires with the full wheel covers that this Daytona is sporting!

Got the redline tires installed on the original wheels and 4 N.O.S. wheel covers, still in the box and envelopes, waiting to go on the Charger.

This Daytona is beautiful and the factory wheel covers look great.

[wingcarenvy]

If I hit the lottery I am going to buy both!

[SBBob]

WOW!  Just realized that the Superbird's VIN is just 2 digits off from mine and is almost the exact same car as mine.  Will be watching this one with special interest.

I'm sure you're aware there are 8 consecutive HEMI 'Birds RM23R0A181254-RM23R0A181261, at least 4 of them are EB5/P6XW/D21 including the "Mr. 5 & 50" racecar.

what's different when compared to your car?

Why would anyone near Appleton, WI paint a HEMI Daytona blue & yellow? 

[SBBob]

As far as I know all 8 cars were pretty similar and very basic.  The bucket seat option is about the only major thing on my car.  Here are some pictures of my build sheet and breakdown of the fender tag.  Also sometime ago someone sent me the window sticker for car 181258 also included.  I have talked to Doug and that car is not in the Daytona - Superbird Club's list of registered cars.  

[taxspeaker]

I see your fender tag has neither n85 code for tach nor r11 code for am radio. I was vaguely aware that the fender tag did not have a code for a tach-would it have a code if it was radio delete?
thanks

When I got the car it already had and after market AM/FM cassette player in it.  There is a tic tac in the dash.  I do not have the window sticker for my car, but the build sheet is from my car.
