[nascarxx29]

Was there a numbers matching trans atleast

[kiwitrev]

no the trans is a few years newer

[nascarxx29]

Probably no buildsheet. The fender tag and dash vin body numbers allthere is for the extent of documentation

[charger_fan_4ever]

Be sweet to see him have to relist it for less coin.just saying

[hemi68charger]

Drum roll.....

[kiwitrev]

So a buyer has been selected and I can say that based on my bid someone is paying too much for this car.

You guys going to spill the beans or are we going to drag this out like the sale

Yeap, I got a text and email from Denis as well.... The car is sold, this story is over ( unless someone here got it ).. My buddy here locally didn't get it.... As far as paying too much, if the new owner is happy, that's all that matters... I don't think they sacrificed dinner on the table or a roof over their head to get it... If I had the money, I would have paid the "probably" 90K for it....

[kiwitrev]

I don't know what it sold for but I was above the 90k and I was "well down the list" suggesting over $100k and I turned down a better car with immaculate documentation for $100k

[farm966]

any word on the sale?

[hemi68charger]

any word on the sale?

It sold... He got the title fixed ( apparently I was the 1st one to notice it as XS instead of XX ). He wrote me and my friend who was interested a real nice email but at the end of the day, my buddy's offer wasn't high enough ( about 73K )..

I didn't ask what it sold for.......

The car is now residing in Florida. The Buyer is a man who has a real nice car collection, and he's a really great person. He has Parkinson's disease and wants to fulfill a long time desire of restoring a Daytona. In this case its not so much about cost vs profit. Its about timing, fulfilling a dream, having a distraction, and lots of smiles. He will have the car restored to its former beauty, close to original as possible, and worthy to be seen anywhere. He's in the Bahamas with his two son's on a three week vacation and he will be managing the restoration soon after his return. All is well.

Sounds like it went to a good home. Wish him best of luck with the resto. It will be a great car done returned to its former glory.

A F6 4-speed Daytona is tough to beat.

[Wolfe440]

I will come back with updates, its sitting in my garage until his return from vacation, I took delivery for him. Thanks! Wolfe

[Beep Beep Dave]

Looks better already! So was the $90k figure close to what it went for?

Dave

[Daytona R/T SE]

Did the boot come with it?

[Wolfe440]

It was above the 90k, that's all the rights I have to say. There was some big hitters at the end. His name is Paul, he felt the car would go for more then 90k even with a warranty motor and no broadcast or other documentation. Reason being the one they found in a barn and went to auction around Feb was a similar situation, it went for I believe 90k plus 9k in auction fees. Some Doctor over here in Fl in Tampa bought it. This one being a rarer color and a four speed figured it to possibly go more, and he wanted it, time is fleeting.

I did find about 15% of a broadcast behind the back seat upright, pretty much useless. Fender tag is good and still readable, the two vins stamped in the body are there, the transmission is number matching, rear is Dana and does not appear ever messed with, still has tag of 3:53.. (..remember correctly). Engine has no VIN, its 70 motor but does have correct ribs indicating the better block. One can assume its warranty. To me its at least better than a vin motor that does not match. I did find a 1974 Texas road map in it, and some 80's old alum beer can tabs in the ash tray. The glove box also produced a 1975 Texas invitation/map to a picnic with a Texas state Attorney, and a very fragile 1969 Dodge News magazine. The cover shows a NASCAR 69 Daytona at some speedway and a call out regarding Dodge dominating....ah, clearly.

Very cool.....excited to see the results

[nascarxx29]

Maybe this dodge news.  http://66.135.209.70/itm/Dodge-News-Magazine-November-1969-Scat-Pack-issue-Dodge-Racing-1970-Performance-/172169585952?nav=SEARCH

That's it exactly, but not so pretty.

Welcome Wolfe440!  And thanks for sharing the news of the new owner.   

[out there]

Thanks for sharing, in the end its only worth what someone was willing to pay. I am happy the car was bought by someone who has the means to get it restored. I agree I like this one quite a bit more than the "Barn Find Daytona" that was auctioned off earlier this year. I would try and save as many of the original parts that you possibly can. This Forum will be your best source for information...there are tons of great threads here that will help you with the resto. I wouldn't be afraid to ask questions either as this group will be able to steer you in the right direction.

Best of luck! I am looking forward to following the progress.
