Daytona vs Superbird

[out there]

I know the Daytonas are much more rare. How do they compare in terms of what they are worth?  Say a car that needs total restoration, a decent driveable car,
an extremely nice restoration.  And how important are the numbers matching in each category. I know there are some very knowledgeable guys on here.
Thanks for your ideas

1. needs total restoration ( depends on what's there and what's not )...... You can have a complete car that needs to be totally restored to that if a car that's missing a bunch of the Daytona-specific parts ( big time expense there ).

2. A decent driver: Again, depends on the car, color, drivetrain, etc...... could be anywhere from 85,000 to 125,000

3. Extremely nice restoration: depends on drivetrain and color for the most part.. 125,000 to 200,000+... If 426 Hemi car, big time money

4. Numbers matching: in our mopar world, that means drivetrain is original or not..... To each their own.. I personally could care less if a car had its original motor or tranny.. Is it nice, of course.... Now, some big-time investors will only consider a car with its original drivetrain. When it comes to a low-production car like a Daytona, they have just reduce the number of cars to buy significantly...

These are just my views... Of course, you're asking a jaded group of people here since we like Chargers a lot.....

Numbers matching separates the men from the boys. 
As rare as the cars are, that steps it up a notch.

Some very good information. I was also wondering how much premium a Daytona would carry because of limited production. There seem to be many less available.  NADA, not that it is all that relevant, gives a 5% premium for a 4 speed car. Seems to me it would be higher.
Thanks for the responses.

I have always thought the NADA 5% for a 4 speed on a MOPAR was low.
The Mustang 428 Cobra Jet, 4 speed is 15%.

When it comes to MOPAR, I believe the biggest price variance is colour (not taking into count HEMI.
Following auctions, I have found a 6pk, 4 speed, Superbird does not have the same premium as one would expect, to a 440/4, auto, but colour seems to have a bigger impact on price.

I have always wondered this too, is there a sort of "color hierarchy" among Daytonas and then among Superbirds?  I guess for Daytonas it is Q5 Turquoise, which while a spectacular color has always seemed to be a bit surprising since it wasn't so popular back in 1969, almost as if being unpopular then has made it sought after now.  In my opinion, it would be Black/Red Interior/Red Wing.  I never understood why they put the typical black interior into so many Daytonas.

How so? The only thing separating the "men" from the "boys" is the duration on waiting to find that "right" car and maybe deeper wallets. While the "men" are waiting to find their perfect color combination, drivetrain combination, physical condition with its original motor and tranny, the "boys" are out actually driving their perfect color combination, drivetrain combination, physical condition with it's replacement/warranty block down the road....... All the while, the "men" are staring at the "boys" driving by.. Maybe the "boys" can let the "men" ride shotgun.....

Obviously, in this scenario, the "men" have "toy cars" to play with but also a numbers matching ride to parade around in!
They have it brought around in front of the mansion on nice sunny days to drive...

I drive mine all the time. Numbers matching, etc. Would be a shame to not see these beautiful cars in motion- they look so much better on the street than standing still in a garage.

Well, I guess I break the mold.... I parade around in my non-matching Hemi Daytona toy......

Thanks. This is exactly what I was wondering. 25% makes sense to me.
