[nascarxx29]

For the longest time it was known as the Don Hicks car.Then I was reading the Mar 2007 MCG.And seen it was bought in 1991 by Steve Fox.And going through my wingcar papers I come up with 2 more names to go with this car a Gary T haven and Ed Mohler Which also shared the featured in the article HEMI 3 CA license plate

[nascarxx29]

I found a old car magazine with the Ed Mohler X9 daytona

During its time with Ed Mohler it got featured in street machine magazine.

Do you have any info on a Hemi Daytona that would have sold new out of New Richmond, WI?  My friend tells me that his uncle bought one new there and still has it.  I am gonna try and go see it this summer.

Geno can confirm this, but the only Daytona from New Richmond WI would be Elmer Duellman's car which is a 440.      The dealer was Bernard's Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge.   Elmer bought the car new and still has it.   This is the one with 304 miles.

 I did a while ago was daytona per state totals from info on the daytona ship list

Doug, you're correct - the only one shown on the Shipping List as being shipped to or sold from New Richmond is indeed Elmer's car.  As everyone knows, that doesn't mean there wasn't a trade between dealerships.

I checked the other Wisconsin Daytonas, and in addition to Cal Anderson's former car there is another Wisconsin HemiDaytona (409066) which is listed as coming from Thiensville, WI.  Cal Anderson's car isn't even listed on the Shipping List as a HemiDaytona - but it most certainly is.   

PT, we kicked the Wisconsin HemiDaytonas around a year or so ago on this thread.  I'd still be real interested in finding out which car your friend's uncle has. 

[Aero426]

I would bet that since there is some hearsay involved, the car being discussed is Elmers.   There is no way the dealership in New Richmond had a second Daytona, as they didn't even want the one they got.

If Cal's car came from Theinsville, that probably was Milrace Motors.   Milrace was a sporty car type dealership, and certainly they were performance oriented.  Jerry Service's black Hemi Daytona came from Milrace as well.   Jerry's car was painted upon arrival at the dealership because it looked so bad.

Looks like one that I test drove in 1985 while I was a private in the USMC stationed in 29 palms. It was for sale at the time for 5500 and I couldnt get anyone to loan me the money. Does anyone know the Mopar Brothers in Tahunga,Ca. speeling is probably wrong, it a city in Los Angeles, anyway, when I got back from Hawaii a friend picked me up at the airport and took me over to his friends house, he had a 69 Daytona and 2 superbirds and a few cudas and challengers in his back yard. I belive he bought the last Superbird for 6500 at the pamona swap meet.
I need to get back down there and see if they still have all those nice mopars.

My whole question with the Don hicks Daytona is where did the fender tag come from?


I have photo's of that car from 1980 ,and it was missing the fender tag, and there are notes on the photo's from Don Hicks stating its a HEMI Daytona but no fender tag. Just curious if anyone knows.

[nascarxx29]

Same car that had front frame damage type marks underneath

[UFO]

Am I correct that the hood was replaced?
Reason being the part number is stenciled on the bottom.

[hemi68charger]

Ahhhhhhhhh, what dreams are made from..........

[69_500]

The hood hadn't been replaced in the photo's I have of it.

Dumb (but serious) question here - did/do you know the folks from the New Richmond dealership?  I was just curious what their impression of the Daytona was when they got it...  Did they order it for their dealer stock, or was it just sent to them - and if they ordered it, did they change their minds once they saw it?

I was figuring that most of the orders for these cars were probably placed between mid-April (when the Daytona was formally introduced) up through the first of June (about 3 weeks before the last Daytona was made at Hamtramck).  That's only a month and a half, if you think about it.  The cars didn't start shipping until mid-August, which meant that by the time the cars hit the lot, the chance to order more of them or cancel what they did order was gone.

If Cal's car came from Theinsville, that probably was Milrace Motors.   Milrace was a sporty car type dealership, and certainly they were performance oriented.  Jerry Service's black Hemi Daytona came from Milrace as well.   Jerry's car was painted upon arrival at the dealership because it looked so bad.

Sorry about the confusion in what I typed earlier.  Cal's former car didn't come from Thiensville - his supposedly shipped to Watertown Dodge (Watertown, WI).  The other Wisconsin HemiDaytona is the one that is listed as being from Thiensville.  That's the one that I'm hoping PocketThunder's friend can confirm.  The 409066 VIN is in the WW newsletters as a known car, but I don't have any info about colors or options.  You're absolutely correct, in that the dealership listed for Thiensville is Milrace Motors.  Must have been quite the place, from what you're saying!

[PocketThunder]

I'll try and get over there with my friend in the next month to finally meet his uncle.  I've got some pictures of the car from last summer but they are at London Drug right now.

Gary Moe who is a DSAC member and Daytona owner lives in New Richmond and remembers the green Daytona sitting on the back of the lot in the winter.    The dealer was  non-performance oriented, he had teen age kids who cared less.   My guess is that it was a car they got stuck with.   They thought they would need to paint it a bright color to sell it, so as soon as the car came in, it was painted Limelight.  The bodyman ran down to the local hardware store and got mailbox letters for the DAYTONA on the stripe.  You can see that in the picture I posted.  They let it sit all winter before attempting to market it in the spring of '70.   

As far as Milrace goes, I have some early 1990's photos of the dealership.  One of the last things my dad did before he passed away was interview the guy who owned the dealership.   I've never finished putting it together, but maybe I should.
