Whatever happened to....

Whatever happened to that Hemi Daytona that was sposed to be in a quarry somewhere in Eastern Canada? Did somebody find it?

It's a guy I know that has the pics and he won't give me any copies or any other info on it.  I think he's under the impression that I'm going to try and buy it from under him or something.  There was nothing much more than tags left of it anyway.
It'd still be nice to have the numbers to confirm it being written off.  I'll try him again sometime when I'm at his place and he's had too much to drink but I think you can file this one.

So it legit? I thought it was made up just like that mod-top daytona and the train. I smell a rebody.

I know there is a really old theread about this somewhere.  All I can tell you is what I saw.  The guy I know had a handful of pictures.  Just enough to show that it was a Daytona.  It was in the bottom of a quarry somewhere in eastern Canada and it was stripped and crushed.  He was offered the tags in an envelope for 5 thousand Canadian.  He passed on the car at the time and I'm sure rebody is the nice word for whatever happened to it.

The one I'm talking about wasn't underwater and it sure as hell wasn't intact either.  So it sounds like there are a couple at the bottom of pits somewhere near the Atlantic.
