***FOUND*** Wingcars old Daytona!

[hemi68charger]

I'm all teared up !!!!!!!

You have a sensitive side?

That car wasnt worth 350 k when the market was to the moon ! What do you guys Think ? Keep in mind the blue Daytona sold for I think less than that , and that was an super low mile unrestored car

[69_500]

Which blue Daytona are you talking about? The one with the vinyl top?

I think they were asking a bit more than that figure for Elmer's car, but I don't think he got it either, and it was by far a lower mileage car. Less than 400 miles I think total.

Vinyl top Daytona ?? B-5 , white tail

[69_500]

This one?

Or were you talking about the Bill Card Daytona? Because it was restored.

[daytonalo]

No cupcake , it was just for sale , I think never registered or some crap like that

[69_500]

 

The one and the same car as mentioned above then. Not the one in the photo, but the other one. I do believe that neither one of them was registered though, the one pictured, and Bill's car.

As odd as it was for my old car come to the surface.Today I get a email from the buyer its been over a 1 year and havent heard a thing from.And is looking for additional parts

[nascarxx29]

Yes I said I seen the car on the website Beep Beep Dave showed.And asked to see completed finished pictures for my collection

[69_500]

What pieces was your car missing Dave? Or what are the intending on replacing, that isn't in a repairable state of being?

[gtx6970]

I shipped a bunch of parts for that car last month

[daytonalo]

Do you guy's really think that car will bring 375k ? 150 k tops !!!!!!

[nascarxx29]

Thanks for updated pictures SPI.Keep them coming Im saving them.Nice to see my old daytona getting its makeover.But I know alot of cars going around after 20+ years are not factory correct untouched all #s matching with owner history and extensive documentation.Its a original R4 Red with white interior/stripe whiteline tires and deluxe hubcap car.Parked in 77 with 22K miles.Cant say what it will command .Looking forward to seeing its completed pictures.And any factory reference pictures taken during disassembly

[daytonalo]

I woild like to see the pictures of the smashed nosecone

[nascarxx29]

The original nose cone installed by creative and never removed or replaced. If they fix it put a section in etc? .Or replace it with a NOS one a quality metal repo one its their choice .You can still document it had its original.I know of alot of actual wingcars wearing fiberglass ones.Due to the originals were unprotected and very vulernable to damage never rust proofed it recieved thin overspray primer .Usually arent still around after 20+ years in any condition

[daytonalo]

Too bad you never restored it in the 20 years you owned it !!

Too bad you never restored it in the 20 years you owned it !!

Larry, what's worse is that you or I didn't end up with it. 

[69_500]

You mean whats worse is that I didn't wind up with it.

[daytonalo]

The car was 5 min from house ! I would have never paid that much for it ! OK car , all orig , needed a total redo ! Couldn't see doing a 40 k resto when car is maybe worth 150 in this market !!

[69_500]

Thats the difference between you and me though. i would have paid that much for the car, and I don't care what it would be worth after restored. I honestly don't care if I can't sell my 500 for $50 in 20 years. I didn't buy it for an investment. I bought it because I LOVE THESE CARS. Not that I just like them for now, and in a few years will find something new to like, but that I'll still like the same cars in 50 years. I would have bought it, and let it be for many more years.

[daytonalo]

It sold for a small fortune !!!!!

[SPi]

The nose was repaired, NOT replaced.  It took a lot of time but it turned out beautifully.  I have taken over 1500 pics of this car during the resto.  When I have a bit more time I will post a little story of the resto with detailed pics.  Every effort is being made to keep the car as original as possible.  This car was an awesome example of an original untouched wing car and Dave was great to deal with on the purchase.
