Thanks for the link. Interesting photo's. Would love to know more about the white HEMI 500. I wasn't aware of any white HEMI 500's in the UK. I knew that there is supposed to be 4 500's in the UK though.

Thanks for sharing.......

There arn't too many left now; I came to New Zealand in '03 with a six pack 'bird and a Daytona, the Petty Blue bird and Black tail Daytona are back in the 'States, the White interior six pack 'bird was sold at B.J. a couple of years ago and at least two other birds have gone to mainland Europe.

The yellow car is a real Daytona, 440, auto, F6 Bright Metallic green originally. Been here a long time, lost it's original nose early on and ran for years with a 70 Charger grill. Had a build sheet for a R4 Red car in the car...

Love the way the yellow Daytona gets raced and is not just on show in a heated museum

Hope he never sells it, whoever bought it would probably restore it and it would be a shame to restore it now, it may not be as famous as the big willy car but it has a history of racing and its well known in the UK....
these people who restore stuff like that to stock are erasing history to make a quick buck :Twocents:

Bob received some criticism back in the day for the rough and ready appearance of the car, but I remember him saying to me " I've had so much fun in this car!". So good luck to him!...

as far as i know, no daytonas have ever been registered in Norway, although i do not know about that green one(temp. one day license)
there are a couple of superbirds though.

hunted down his thread on the UK boards, the car was from denmark but he doesn't make it clear whether the car is now registered in norway or not....pic doesn't work for me now but it was the same one....
