That looks like one of Danes clones.It may be in Quebec,but its not a orig daytona.

The boat is a glaspar G-3 , that was my first boat in 82

Might be more fiberglass in the Daytona than the boat.

 Reminds me of this one .Not sure if its the same one.Then there is another white 1 owner with the first Canada daytona one the shiplist.And 3rd white one featured on maple leaf mopars in Canada

Neither does the boat.

In the second picture, the boat looks to have a fiberglass wing. To me it looks as if it's bowed down in the middle.

I guess I will scratch that one from my quebec list of real ones.Talking about daytonas from Quebec their is some controversy  over the J9b414638 car.A guy here in Quebec says it was burnt and the remains were destroyed.Yet the vin is here in the pics below.Although the vin rivets in the pics do look suspicious.Anyone know where this car is today? First pic is from when it was new here in Quebec.

The pic of the second car has a post on here, as to the legitimacy, and to my knowledge it was proven to be a real daytona missing the nose and wing.  Nascarxx29 has some info on it for sure.  I'll try to search for the post

     Interesting 65post, I had spoke to a fellow in Quebec about a daytona that he had looked at (hemi 4spd) that was for sale in the mid 70's, claims it was the one on pg. 36 of MLcars in barns. Says a mustang enthusiast bought it and kept it until it burned in his garage in the 80's. I have seen the sheet on 639 & it was a V2 hemi, 4-spd. The article from the pic that 65post shown claims (638) was an auto car. Does your source remember the trans??

The two colored pictures of the Hemi Daytona above were shot by me!

The time was 1989, the place was the Polo Park mall parking lot, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The car still had it's wing supports in the trunk, and was obviously original. At the time, the nosecone, original hood, fenders, and the wing were missing.
Not to mention the Hemi!

I'm sure there's a good story of how the car came to be in that state, but I know nothing of that. There are several members of the Manitoba Mopars Auto Club that can say alot about that car, but I've been told only that it's still in the ownership of the same person that had it in 1989.

So is that orangey red Daytona still around?

[69_500]

This is a side story, but there was for sure a HEMI Daytona in Canada that did burn in a fire in around 1982-83, and it was owned by a Mustang lover. As he was requesting at the time to trade the HEMI Daytona even up for a 1969 Boss 429 Mustang.

     Can you remember the the transmission 69 500?

[Magnumcharger]

I know for a fact that there was a Daytona burned in a fire:
From Maple leaf Mopars, Cars in Barns: "Around 1976 or so, I was talking to a fellow worker and since I had the Charger at the time, he mentioned he knew of a wrecked Daytona out near his hometown of Treherne Manitoba. The owner of the Daytona had purposely set fire to the car to try and collect insurance but he was caught and the car was left to rot out near that town. Somewhere along the line somebody removed the nosecone and it was sitting in a coal bin in an old service station in Treherne".

This is the nosecone from that car, and the guy who found it. Rick.

"did burn in a fire in around 1982-83"

"The time was 1989, the place was the Polo Park mall parking lot, in Winnipeg, Manitoba"


Well that basically means that the orangey red Daytona in the pictures isnt the one that burnt.

[69_500]

I'm 99.99% sure the one minus the wing isn't the one that burned in the fire.

And I'm also 99% sure that it isn't the same one that is mentioned on the website as being burned in the mid 70's. As the car I'm talking about was in perfectly fine condition in the early 80's. The car was in a building that burned, the car only received smoke damage, and slight fire damage, but the building it was in fell on the top of the car after all was said and done. So it was burned, and then crumpled. Not completey squished or anything, just had part of a wall fall on the car. However it was no longer nice enough to swap even up for a 69 Boss 429 Mustang 4 speed car that only had 20,000 miles on it.

[FJMG]

Yes 69 500 the car on the website was a manitoba car. So your info is that the car in question  was not completely destroyed? I was told that the fire was so hot so as to melt the wing???

[69_500]

I'll have to do some searching for the information I have on it. But just going from memory it wasn't in the part of the building that was actually on fire. But that it did receive some damage, but not extensive, and I don't recall anything close to it being hot enough to melt the wing. Would be better off to ask my dad as he was the one in the process of trading the Boss 429 Mustang to the gentleman for the HEMI Daytona. He bought the Mustang solely to trade for that Daytona.

Exactly my point.
