Is the owner planning on doing a full restoration?

I did find about 15% of a broadcast behind the back seat upright, pretty much useless.

I knew it !!! .... Discovered the discrepancy on the title and could see a portion of the sheet between the rear seat trunk divider and top of top cushion..

Is the owner planning on doing a full restoration?

Yes, Paul will be doing a full restoration, meaning every original nut, bolt, component and rotisserie. I will probably be doing the tear down and assembly. I've been restoring Paul's V code 71 Charger R/T barn find, 24k miles, so well documented its even got the business card to the 1971 Dodge salesman. All original and numbers matching. First buyer was murdered in 73, after that car never left family barn. 

I met Paul a while back selling him my 70 roadrunner convertible, he then came back and bought my 70 Challenger R/T.  I've been restoring Mopars for decades for my own pleasure. Paul asked if I would restore Mopars for his collection. Nice guy, he's got the money, couldn't refuse.

I'm ready to dig into this Daytona, but I have to wait until he returns from Bahamas.

Very interesting, I didn't know about the VIN discrepancies, thought this was a single case.

Yes, original F6 Bright green metallic and white wing, and I can see the car was then painted blue, and then over that the olive color.

I read they produced something like 34 of the F6 Bright Green Metallic. Any way to know how many F6 were 4 speeds?

Not sure check registry with galen govier and both. wing clubs

Absolutely love both of your old cars. Would love to see the '71 R/T you are restoring for him.

[RallyeMike]

Glad to see it went to a good home after all the drama.

Will the old beer can pop tops end up on ebay as "1969 Daytona Ashtray Beer Tabs"? I'd like to bid on them.

V code 440 6. Attached a couple of pics when they pulled it from the Barn in Conn. It was full of every rodent nests in every hideaway possible..it was disgusting... as you can see in the picture when I pulled the dash. Had to use a mask for most of disassembly, wonder I didn't get some disease. Every single part was there, and the documentation on the car could not be better. Every paper the day the car was delivered accounted for, BOS, Invoice, Warranty, Broadcast, Consumer Info Braking/Acceleration, window sticker, Operator Manual, salesman business card, copy of original buyer 71 title. The body has been in shop almost a year. When I tore down engine and measured cylinders, the worse one was only out .002. Car proved over and over it was an honest 24k mile car. Its also owned by Paul, and he's bought me many a beer for risking my life!

I will pass on the message to Paul, and thank you for complement.

In 1975 I got thrown out of an English class in high school for disruption with a guy named Mike who had a 70 383 roadrunner.  Instead of reporting to the Dean's office as ordered,... he took me for a ride and after that I was hooked. Owned many Mopars since, and good old Mike is still my best friend.

I read they produced something like 34 of the F6 Bright Green Metallic.   

Nope one of my previous cars had a XS instead of XX also.

I believe the count on Daytona's painted F6 is 43 instead of 34.

[lukedukem]

Wolfe440, will you be able to share the restoration with us on this site?

Wolfe440,
Just curious, where in CONN. did you find the '71? What Dodge dealer was it originally purchased from?
I live in Connecticut.

I live in Connecticut.

It was actually purchased at White Planes Dodge, White Planes NY, the buyer lived in Stanford Conn. I attached BOS, the typing is bit faded but with some effort is still somewhat readable.

If you can scan a higher res version I'll photoshop a more readable one for you.

That would be great. Paul has the original at his house. I scanned this when car was delivered. I reduced file size to post it below 200. The source file is 1700 X 2338, is that any good? If so how can I get that one to you? If not good high enough, I can get my hands on the original again when Paul returns from vacation.
