Interesting link there, thanks for posting it!

I was wondering though, about how a shipping date to the dealership could be dated March 22, 1969 when the conversions did not start until June of '69...

I'm wondering about that date as well. I think he was probably meaning to state that they ordered it on March 22nd. It is just a guess, but that would be my guess.

Even then, the official release date for the Daytona wasn't until early April of '69.

Could have been that they had advance knowledge of the Daytona's development, since stranger things have happened.

I was thinking that somewhere I saw a memo about a Daytona that was dated in late February, but I could be wrong. However then again no everyon would have received that memo, nor would everyone know of it. But if you had connections, you might have received word of it.

"The ONLY modifaction this car has ever had was a terrible coat of Maaco paint sprayed on in 1972 to cover up the origional Brockton Dodge billboard lettering installed back in 1969."


so, the world of wheels mags and the dealer installed top were factory, too? 


i'm sure it's nice, but hell i met a friend for lunch, was too lazy to drive my 5 speed mustang, and put 20 miles on the 'bird today.  driving a car a mile since the first bush administration makes me sick, not swoon.  it's a repainted car, it needs to be gone over, and you're not destroying the original tires or anything.  yikes.


wish it was still lettered up like that, too  i'd drive that all over...
