Original, raced 500’s

[C500]

I guess most 69 500's that were raced back in the day were converted to Daytona's and later cars. Are there are original ones remaining, either restored or 'survivors' wearing their original racing livery? Post up some pics of any such cars.

None that I know...   

Anyone else??

I'd really love to see one with a F8 based race scheme.

It's not a C500 now, but supposedly that Cotton Owens #6 Daytona was originally a Glotzbach C500 that got wrecked in 1969 (at Bristol?) and re-purposed  as a Dodge Daytona show car for 1970.  It's the one that was in the Darlington Museum for many years.

Canepa's website no longer shows the car, does anybody know if it was sold ?

Have not heard of it selling.   It may just be off the for sale site, but still in his museum with the fake #43 Riverside Torino, etc.

There weren't any back then.   Hey, build a clone for us!    

Even a good photoshop would be cool!

Happened across some old pics of that car: street nose, street wing and supports, street front valance, street hood (no nascar modified forward edge.)
1966 street hemi longblock with bathtub and carb with choke! 

Perhaps the car would have sold by now if it didn't get restored and was presented as what it is:  THE only Chrysler Show Car "race" Daytona!!!
