Original Owner Daytonas

Got a note from Bill Hoehn with the F6 Daytona asking how many other original Daytona owners like him are still out there.   Bill says he is 84 and still showing the car.

Off the top of my head, I could think of Elmer's Limelight Daytona,  Carl Swanson's Goldie and Bob K's blue car from Colorado.   How many others are out there?

I know of Zero. We were parked right next to Elmer at the National Meet in 78.
I still can't get over the plastic he had over the seats. It was a mindblower even
back then. I took this shot when I was a kid.

C5X DAYTONA

Jim Gehrky has his.     
If Vernon Judy would go get his back.    That would be another.
Wilbert passed a few months back.      His family still has it
There is a V2 Daytona parked in Richfield Utah.   Original owner.  But car was for sale on my last visit.

   
Caution.... Low flying aircraft.

Elmer drove his Daytona forward to that parking spot from the trailer..  Then backed it up all the way to the trailer..     Knott's Berry Farm

I was getting ready to drop a small rant about people who don't drive these awesome machines, but reading that article almost brings tears to my eyes.  The owner of that Daytona didn't just DRIVE the car he LIVED his life with it.  I dare say he had more guts back then than I do now...
