A previous thread about a really nice Daytona being available & all the documents that are included in that
cars sale has sparked enough interest in the documents alone that a new thread seems necessary & even
proper for those in the know to share. 

Given my scanner is broken ( I don't have much to share other than excerpts found in books & magazines )
I thought the best way to start is to gleen what has been posted on the aforementioned post.

I have a copy of {5 page Daytona parts lists with blowup photos and detailed part descriptions and numbers
specific to Daytona, dated 11-69}... someplace.  I have heard of the aerodynamic study and seen copies of
portions of it.  The other two I've never even heard of.  It would be nice to see them all assembled in one
cohesive package for the world to read.

I have the SAE Paper "The Aerodynamic Development of the Daytona for Stock Car Competition"
Paper 700036 presented at the Automotive Engioneering Congress, Detroit, January 1970
as printed in an 11 page document in 1978 as SAE/PT-78/16/$02.50
Copyright 1978 Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.

I found it in the University of Texas at Arlington Library in 1982.  Not sure which volume it is in - but it starts
on page 87

I'd be interested in finding all these documents {69_500 listed} myself - or at least good copies!

Scans of the parts list are not hard to locate.  In the Canadian parts book they're bound  in with the other
parts.  It's the U.S. version thats loose leaf pages.

I have the SAE report mentioned earlier as well as two wind tunnel reports (the E-Series & F-Series reports,
IIRC).  As with a lot of my paperwork, the reports are lost somewhere in the archive pile...: icon_smile_blackeye 
Several years ago I had started to scan in one of the reports for Ken N. (one he did not already have) to add
to his website & sent him about 8-10 pages, but I never finished the project.  Another long overdue task...  :Tongue

Compiling all these documents together should make for a wonderful resource for all of us that are
interested :2thumbs:
