Daytona R/T SE

Story time...

Back in about '82 or '83 a friend of mine kept his dirt track car in the back half of a local business's building.

The race car shared that part of the building with a one man body shop.

I spent a lot of time there helping out/getting in the way while my buddy worked on the dirt track car.

The body shop guy had two Chargers stuffed over in the corner, a '68 and a '69.

When he wasn't working on customer's cars, he was building his own Charger out of the cars he had stashed in the corner.

He kept that car the way he built it back then for 40+ years.

I had heard a while ago that he was going to sell it and move away.

Apparently he did sell it, and now it's being flipped on Facebook:

Nice car!  The strips in the door indents is always an interesting touch.

IMO the two best looks, 68 grill and 69 taillights but over a little much.

All it needs is 75K put into it to make it a 100K car .... assuming it's a real R/T.
