this IS the Radke/Maremont muffler ad HEMI Daytona  

[nascarxx29]

That's it

[Fig426]

That's awesome!! I'll have one soon. Well it will be a clone from a 318 charger I'm doing so it will sort of be like having one in a small way.

What's that funky gray bracket behind the upper radiator support where it meets the inner fender (behind the hood pin)?

[Dave Kanofsky]

I was wondering that too....

[Charger_Fan]

It looked better blue.

[Montreal Wing Car]

It looked better blue.

X2, THE Daytona in my mind, the one that hooked me in the late 70's!

I think that is just bare sheetmetal (paint loss), the engine compartment is supposed to be original paint after the removal of the black spray-bomb seen in the pics when it was painted blue

[Dave Kanofsky]

In the fog picture, why does it appear to have a light up quarter panel reflector?

[hemi-hampton]

How come it say's only 1 repaint? LEON.

Shouldn't the shifter knob be of the chrome/68 style? Almost every C500 and Daytona I've ever seen had the chrome, not the standard-4-69 woodgrain..... Just askin'....

Wow, The Auction company and Hemmings refuse to do ANY Fact checking??? "1 of 2" Known to exist? According to the Registry here @ DodgeCharger.com Aero car Forums there are 3 known "J code" F6 Bright Green Metallic 1969 Dodge Charger Daytonas that exist. They are as follows; #83 on the list XX29JB356525, #396 on the list XX29JB409076 (The car being auctioned) and #399 on the list XX29JB410759 (All 3 cars sold out of California). If you're Auctioning off an extremely RARE "J" code Mopar that will likely bring in a HUGE amount of money then PLEASE do a little research when writing about the specifications of the car..........If I can find the information in less than 5 minutes laying on the couch surfing the net on my lap top then ANYONE can! Any guess on what this car will bring in? 500K +

[Aero426]

Like many "news sources" these days,  Hemmings just parrots the press release from the auction company.   

[hemi68charger]

..."1 of 2" Known to exist? ...

Key word.... "Known"........ Well, there are some who are more "informed" than others...... Fufu words for the misinformed or ( not in a negative way ), clueless...

[6bblgt]

They are as follows;
#83 (#386) on the list XX29J9B356525  - HEMI auto - F6/C6X "QUEEN DAYTONA" dead & gone, believed to NOT exist
#396 (#148) on the list XX29J9B409076 - HEMI auto - F6/C6X auction car
#399 (#240) on the list XX29J9B409079 - HEMI auto - F6/C6W

#400 XX29L9B410759 - 440 car

looks like 1 of 2 "known to exist"

what about the woodgrain dash?

IF the car was coded A47 ( Special Edition ) package, then it would have the woodgrain dash, along with the leather front seat and a couple of other amenities...

But if it did, it should have the "SE" medallion on the roof pillar.

[UFO]

The details of the woodgrain dash are in the text that was printed on the next page when it was in the magazine. The owner had added a few things too his liking.

Radke added the woodgrain dash.  He also took out the clear glass and put in tinted.  Need to check on the right mirror and pedal dress up.   I'm pretty sure he added that too.

Just paint it blue and add a red stripe and all would be right with the world.   Right?

Take it back to what it once was that made it iconic!

For whatever reason, Chrysler didn't allow the SE package on J-code (Hemi) Chargers in 1969.  I have no idea why.

I've also yet to see an original/unrestored C500 or Daytona with a woodgrain auto shift knob... but as Jim/maxwellwedge likes to say, "I haven't seen them all".

[hemi68charger]

This stance and look makes me wanna put my Daytona back to the steelies.  Or, get BART wheels to make me a set of Grand National style pre-71 steelies.... And paint them V2 like my car...

Just paint it blue and add a red stripe and all would be right with the world.   Right?  

It would even be 'correct', having the blue/red over green.  

Or, heck, put a wrap on it in blue/red!

What a great idea! Put a wrap on it. I LOVED the car with the Blue and Red.

I think its kinda weird how he redid the car to be more of a driver than an all out resto. To me its a inbetweener. I think something had to be done with that solid Petty Blue it was painted, to us enthusiasts the Day 2 approach with the two tone blue and red would have been cool especially with the Daisy wheels. Either that or a complete ground up OEM Gold resto. Anyway I will be watching to see what the market says when it goes up for auction to see what it brings....or gets bid up to.

Have you guys seen this interview from MCACN 2015:

I would think if he really wanted to keep it....it would have been a complete resto......That cars survivor status ended when it was painted back in the day.

Either it was the video but it seemed to be idling high.....when put in drive I got the feeling of ker..klunck.....

[Aero426]

Bidding closed at 750k, not meeting reserve.
