Again?... Man... I "tried" to discuss this car with the gentleman and he would never reply when I asked him hardball questions.....

I believe this is the car prior, hence the missing parts...

looking at the ad again , no headrests , course thay could of been removed .   may be Troy  not many y2 440 daytonas
   could this be the same one. on ebay a few months ago i think this one was a four speed also.

[myrt70]

It does look like the same car,I think 28 Y2 Daytonas were built.

hey Troy
  i had a chance to buy that car in the pic you posted. that car was in real bad shape. i had first dibs on the car after the owner died. i spoke to his son many times on the phone before i passed. the original family wanted to go to some one that would restore it and love it.  like there dad did. not just flip the car for bucks. now it's been  flipped several times. it's a well documented car but it needed everything . i don't believe that it's the same car in the auction. it would be incredible to turn that car into a driver so fast. plus the car in your pic had a metal nose and #'s matching drive train. that was Gilly's car.

I think this guy had two Daytonas...... A R6 4-speed. I have a friend that bought the red one and could have bought this one....... Here's another Y2 that I once was getting confused with, but this one here is an auto car I believe......

Well, under further review, I believe this and my other post are the same.

yes those were Giley's cars. when he died he had the   A R6 4-speed being finished at the restoration shop and this car that you posted the pic of. yes those are the same car, but i don't believe that's the same car in the auction. if it is they did a wrecks to riches on it. giley's car needed alot of help. i could of bought either cars and passed. i couldn't afford the  A R6 4-speed, and did not have the shop to restore the other car. i was introduced to the family through the winged warriors with i am a member of. i wish i would have kept all the pics and vin info . that was on my old computer that crashed.

That sure looks like the same car to me. It just looks like they bolted a few pieces on it. Same stripe with no lettering,same paint peeled juat above the filler cap.

[BigBlockSam]

it could be. but if it is. they brought it back from the dead quick. i had alot of pics. it was gone. if it is, i hope it was done right or some buyer is gonna be real mad after they pay alot of money. here's the only pic i could find in my files

[BigBlockSam]

i coulda had the car for $25000. yes i'm an idiot. it came at a tuff time in my life and i just couldn't do it. Rene

You cannot buy them for that kind of money anymore Rene. Those days are over.Its a cool car,in an uncommon color,but it looks like a major project though. I wonder how much it will go for on E bay?

I posed questions to the seller.. He would return my emails and then as soon as I questioned him, I never heard back...... Soooo, if anyone on here buys it, be very careful when you go to look at it...

I remember you talking about this car a while back, Troy.  You did seem to think the guy was being a little evasive.

[moparfied]

There is another Y2 Daytona on E bay. It dosent look too bad,but it has a fiberglass nose,its non matghing numbers,and its a 4 speed car,thats been switched to an automatic. Its a real XX car.Its up to 82 grand.

Believe it's the same car.. The dismantled car in my pictures is of the same car on ebay now........

Troy

[BigBlockSam]

wow! i would stay far away from that car.

[hemigeno]

Troy,

I think there's two different Y2 cars being talked about on this thread.

IIRC the one that you posted pictures of was for sale (somewhere out east, maybe WV) a couple of times.  There was someone from the old board that was seriously looking at it, I think the asking price was +/- $85k.  We debated on the board whether or not you could buy the car at that price, restore it (with all of the body work it needs), and still have the ability to get your money out of it if you needed to sell it.  I didn't record the VIN at the time, although I should have.

The one you were looking at within the last few months is the one on eBay (you already know that from the VIN), but that's not the same car as the one you posted pictures of.  I believe the dismantled car in your picture was an automatic on the fender tag too.

Rene might have the VIN of Giley's car that would confirm that it's a different car, since he looked at it.

i had it on my last computer and lost all that stuff when it crashed. they had all the original documentation. why i don't think that car on ebay is Giley's car is that Giley's car had the original metal nose. Rene

That was my recollection too, that the original nosecone was to go with the car when it sold - even though I don't remember seeing a picture of it on the ads from back then.

[BigBlockSam]

i didn't see it either but i was told they had it. Rene

[mustanghater]

the one car is posted at different views several times. Look at the spot on the rear window area. Its in a lot of those pics.

[hemi68charger]

There was another Y2 that surfaced about the same time this one did.... One was an original 440 auto car and the other was an original 440 4-speed car that was converted to auto, the one in the link....... I used to have pictures of the 440 auto car as well.......

Then again, I could be wrong..

The Daytona that I saw on E bay,looked like it was reciently put together. It looked like new paint on it. The guy stated that it was an originaal 4 speed car,and that the nose was Fiberglass. I think there were pictures of the VIN tag and the fender tag.

That's the Michigan car that had the front end missing that Mario (I believe) is selling........ This car crept once with someone talking about the rear wing support brackets looking a little "thin".....

Yup - You are correct - Here is the tag from the Michigan Mario car - He wanted 125k then 150k. Too many issues for that much cake. Or is it? Hmmmm
