T5 hemi car isn't ours--that is a neat combo. at least three exist to my knowledge IF the sheetmetal on my car was truly from a hemi car...


mom and dad joined both clubs before my first birthday

Are you saying that some of the sheetmetal on your car is from a T5 Hemi daytona?? Front end?? doors??

Sorry for the formatting/layout on that list - the forum software doesn't like cuts/pastes from Excel Spreadsheets...  The first number is the shipping # from the Dealer Shipping List (of 503), and the last number is the combined SPD and S.O. number.

Thanks hemigeno.

that's ours!


414641, and yes it has a defroster.  f8/black, 440 console auto, ps/pdb, and not much else is known.  no fender tag, no bcast sheet.  options listed are the pretty obvious ones.  it has tinted glass in it, but the doors don't belong to the car.  also has a plain non-8 track dash, no tach.  after green, it was painted eb5, fc7 then fm3.  the quarters shown were the second set (by welding marks.)  the story goes that the car's sheetmetal went on a T5 hemi car, which fits as most of the sheetmetal on the car now is that color.  car has a '71 warranty non-hp short block, but has all date correct stuff on top (heads, intake, carb, dist, etc) so it was a warranty issue.  trans is a '71 used trans out of a st louis plant car.  8 3/4 rear has an open diff, so lord knows whether or not it had anything exciting in it.  i didn't bother to check ratio, but i'm assuming something dull like 2.76 or 3.23 with someone stealing the pumpkin.  the car would take a tremendous amount of work to put back on the street, so we're nonchalantly looking for a b-body shell and parts.  truthfully, a restoration of the body looked hopeless until recently with the emergence of repro sheetmetal--we own the marty robbins clone as well, and the two would become one.  now we're not so sure.  the floors and t-bar mount area are ok, the framerails are shot.  it's a real project, but i'd really like to see what could be done with it.


i would LOVE to know where to look for more information on this car!


i'm also looking for delivery/order # information on the car--who has the sheets for CDN cars?

 pettybird will be happy to see that one

Close to bottom of page,it says one of the axle pkgs were required.All of those pkgs had a 26" rad.So if I'm reading it right,the combo of 440/auto/3.23 was not available.
Isn't it wonderful trying to figure how something was built in low numbers thirty+ years ago!

[hemigeno]

Chrysler was real good at talking out of both sides of their mouth, weren't they?  I don't know if it's possible to say for certain whether a car could or could not have been built without a Performance Axle Package (i.e. built with 3.23 or numerically lower gears), but I do know that it was not encouraged and may not have been "supposed" to happen.  A few of the pre-production documents do tend to contradict one another on finer points like this.  So far I still have not seen a Daytona with a 22" and/or without a Performance Axle Package coded on the Fender Tag, and I have +/-100 cars' full tag info and partials on a lot more. 

According to the following thread there was at least one car built that way:

What is Missing From this Daytona?

If such a car does exist, it'd be a rare one for sure.  The document I have relied most on for thinking such an animal was at least possible is this one, where it only says a Perf.AxlePkg was "recommended":

[UFO]

Thats a interesting photo on that link.(Road test mag eng shot)
At first I was thinking they used a 440 pic from another vehicle,one 440 looks like another right.Clearly visible is the fender scoop,how about the BOLTED latch tray(not welded to rad support).

[nascarxx29]

This one

[UFO]

Yup Thats the one.I guess until they are all found(good luck)there will always be questions.

[FJMG]

how about the BOLTED latch tray(not welded to rad support).

Almost looks like it is bolted from the bottom too.

[nascarxx29]

The dealer in the magazine showed to be La Hambra dodge by back ground pictures showing license plates frames on car .But if we were to go through the #501 daytona shipment complete with dealers names.I dont think it shows them as recieving a daytona

    I wonder if Daniel knows anything about the sheetmetal exchange on 414641?

[pettybird]

all t5 sheetmetal on the car is bogus anyway.  it was converted to daytona stuff (really, really badly.)


how would I get in touch with David?

how long did daniel own the car?
