The 638 is said to have been an auto. car.gold with a black rump.Burnt in 75  here in Quebec.The rear wing is suppose to have survived the fire.As for the vin. it was declared scrapped. ( on paper? ) Meaning the vin plate is still around.

    65 post, did your sources indicate that 638 was in a building fire or was it an internal electrical harness fire?.... sure seems to be a lot of fires associated with these wing cars!

If the car was in fact scrapped who would go through the trouble of installing wing braces with no wing?The pictures magnumcharger took prove the damage was not that bad.Fire was in 75 pics in 89.

If I remember correctly, the car had a heapin' helpin' of bondo all over the quarters....which, combined with a completely new front clip, and maybe the doors (who knows?) could mean the car was salvaged.
Either way, if the fire did burn the car...how did the VIN tag survive without a scratch?

Yes.

I spoke to the original owner (the first one to put plates on it) of 638, he purchased the car from the dealership (he claimed it was the dealership owners personal car) in the spring of 1970 at which time the car was white with a red wing, he never knew the car was gold or brown prior to him owning it.  He had many problems with the car including replacing the alternator multiple times until the car finally had an electrical meltdown almost a year after he bought it, alot of the wiring was destroyed. He then sold the car.
The next owner then removed the engine.

I'm still pretty sure that the car in question that was converted to be like a C500 is not the same HEMI Daytona that was owned by a Mustang guy. Just my thoughts though, as I don't really have anything else to go by.

I am of the same opinion 69 500(not that my opinion is any more acurate than anyone else's). On the other hand, just to test another rumor, do you or your father remember if the car your dad was trading for is in any way similar to the one on page 36 of MLcarsinbarns?

Not sure. I have tried going through the photo's that my dad took of the car, but can't come up with which Daytona it is for sure. I had figured it would be on the same set of negatives as the Boss 429 that he was going to trade for the Daytona. but the only Daytona's on that roll of film are the ones that he already owned at the time of trying to trade for the HEMI one.

414638 has just surfaced.   It is still in Manitoba, in the hands of the same owner since the 1980's.    He says he has built a place to start restoration of the car.

No I don't know that.   But my gut feeling based on the old photos is that the car was not in a fire.
