Daytona colour question

[69bronzeT5]

Hey guys, I have a question. Did any Daytonas ever come in B5 Blue with white interior and a black wing and stripe?

[Troy]

More than a few B5 Daytonas:

Most probably had blue, white, or black interiors.

Here's a B5/black/black one:

And a B5/B5/white one:

Its not the colour thats making me wonder...its if any B5's had white interior with a black wing and stripe..that seems like an odd colour combo to me

[hemigeno]

The problem with that question is the difficulty in saying (with any degree of certainty) what the original stripe/wing color was.  The body & interior color are listed on the B-cast & Fender Tag, but the Daytona's stripe color is not defined.  You'd have to have some Day1 pictures of the car to "prove" what it had, and there's still the chance that it was changed by the dealership.

My guess is - and it's only a guess - is that very few odd color combinations were chosen, whether by Chrysler/Creative or the ordering dealership.  I think "as a rule", a white interior car would have been given a white stripe.  There is at least one exception I've seen, which is an F6 car, white interior and a black stripe.  That's not a car I have seen myself, so I'm relying on other people's description.  There are quite a few white interior cars in my list which do not have a stripe color listed - plus the 150-200 or so I'd like to get ANY info about...

As far as what info I have on blue cars specifically, I only list four B5/C6W cars at the moment.  Of those, I have the stripe color of only one car actually recorded - and it's white.  Incidentally, most B5 cars had C6D blue interior according to what I've seen so far, and only a few of those have black stripes.

Hope that helps answer the question...

[69bronzeT5]

Thanks guys. 

[69bronzeT5]

Rather than making a new thread, I have another question. Did any Daytonas have a woodgrain dash? I assume not because I dont think they made any SE Daytonas...except for the modtop one

[A383Wing]

Yes, SE Daytona's were made....9 total I think.

Bryan

[hemigeno]

Brian's right, they did make SE Daytonas.  I have seven cars specifically logged with the A47 Sales Code, out of approximately 200 entries with Fender Tag info.  There are bound to be more than these seven out there, but right now it's anybody's guess as to exactly how many were made.

[69bronzeT5]

Thanks guys

i wonder if there were any B-7 daytonas cause there sure were not alot of dark blue chargers of any color made,..
i wonder why it's not a bad color by any means, yet there were a large percentage of dark green ones made..

that ugly green must have been the cheapest stuff for chrysler to buy , because they used it way to much! 

[hemigeno]

I currently have only one with that color code, but there could be others.  At most, there was probably a very small percentage with that color - and I agree, it looked better than F8.  Go figure...

[69_500]

What do you have against F8 green Gene? 

[moparstuart]

What do you have against F8 green Gene? 

would look good on any hemi car LOL

Personally, I don't mind F8 - it's my wife that hates it.  I showed her an F5 and F8 car last year, and she absolutely does not want me to repaint the R/T it's original F8 color.  Of course, I mentioned that I could always shop around for another car with a color she likes a little better 

While F8's alright with me, I do like the blue colors better.

[69_500]

I was going to  say that I always thought it as your wife who was against the F8 green. Same goes for my wife, she would prefer a car in b5 blue. She doesn't like R4 red at all either though.

no dont  do that   no no noi

[69_500]

Ah no worries. I'm sure there are more people on the waiting list than just us two. So with bumping one up and one down, that still puts us what numbers 432 and 433 on the list?

dougy you tease!

[69_500]

Would you take a 500 as a trade for the Daytona Doug?

that would be a great trade for you doug !!!

[69bronzeT5]

Just a question. I notice ALOT of console '69s have woodgrain on the console but no woodgrain on the dash (SE)...same go for Daytonas?

[hemigeno]

Yep,

Woodgrain applique was standard on all '69 consoles but was reserved on the dashboard for the SE's only (in '69 anyway) - and that would include the Daytona production run.  4-speed knobs were all woodgrain in '69 but the auto shift knobs were mostly chrome with some being woodgrain.

[69bronzeT5]

Thank you!

[69_500]

Gene, you think that most of the shifter knobs on AT's were the chrome one? I know that since I started looked closely at old photo's, and unrestored cars it sure seems that a lot of them had them. Its probably around 50% or so.

we did a pole in another thread and I think 80 % or more said they had them . The ones that didnt said there cars had been restored

[hemigeno]

I certainly don't know the percentages, but I would imagine the % of chrome knobs on '69 cars to be fairly high.  With a lot of these kind of parts transition issues, you'd expect there to be a break point where cars before "X" date had chrome, and most cars after that had woodgrain.  The weird part about the shifter knobs is that both early and late cars had chrome.     In fact, most (if not all) of the original/unrestored auto Daytonas that I have seen had the chrome knob.  I'd be hard-pressed to name one off the top of my head that had the woodgrain knob. 

That doesn't mean that NO '69s or Daytonas came with woodgrain knobs when new, but the majority seem to have the chromies.

I have a question. Did any Daytona's come in yellow? If so, which yellow?

[hemigeno]

I have a question. Did any Daytona's come in yellow? If so, which yellow?

Any Yellow available in 1969 on a Charger.  That would include Y2 Yellow, Y3 Cream and Y4 Gold Metallic.  Y2 is by far the most common of the yellow colors anyway.

[69_500]

And of the odd color choices for a HEMI Daytona Y2 Yellow seemed very popular.

[UFO]

Is there one built in every color available?

[69_500]

Are you asking for a Daytona period? Or a HEMI Daytona in every color? I don't know of any HEMI Daytona's in A4, B3, F3, T7, Q5, R6, or Y4.

Not just hemi's , Any combination.

[daytonalo]

The more and more I view that F6 Daytona , the more I want to paint my Hunk of shit that color !!!

[Ghoste]

I like your original plan better. 

[daytonalo]

We sprayed out Lamborghini Orange out on test panel , we all loved it in my shop with very bright shop lights , took it outside and the pearl in that made the orange turn to Copper , it looked like shit

[moparstuart]

go F6 I love that color and it will kook more original 

[69_500]

As far as any color is concerened I think that there is pretty much at least 1 Daytona that was painted in every color that was available. I can't think of any colors that weren't done on at least 1 Daytona. And that includes the 99 99 paint code. Although I still can't think of any T3 Daytona's that I've seen personally.

[A383Wing]

T3 is which color again?

Bryan  (full of stoopid questions tonight)

[Ghoste]

T3 is light bronze.

[nascarxx29]

 You can see how it will look in F6.

[A383Wing]

So this color is?

Bryan

[69_500]

I had always thought that car in the photo was T5 bronze Bryan. I can't find any Daytona pics of T3 currently. Heck I can only find one car that is T3 in my pics and its a 500.

[Brock Samson]

Neal Js T-3...
edit, it's a regular garden variety charger, nuttin special... 

[nascarxx29]

Thats the T5 bronze daytona XX29J9B412548 that came new from Ambler PA .Then it left Don K hands to/ Greg Joseph Otis Chandler to Kevin Greene.And reside currently with Tim Wellborn.Car was restored at 5000 original miles by Roger Gibson

I thought it was T5 also....and I have never seen a T3 Daytona either.

Bryan

[69_500]

At this time I can't come up with any photo's of a B3 blue Daytona either, but I know I've seen one before. B7 isn't that common either of a color for Daytona's. Also can't think of any that are Y3 cream either. Know of several that are Y2, and a few that are Y4 but can't remember one in Y3.

I got to touch it in 1999.... 

Bryan

[hemigeno]

I can't say myself because I haven't seen the fender tag, but I have the Wellborn HemiDaytona listed as being T3.  Perhaps Doug S. can verify that for me - but I think that's right.  The color of his car admittedly looks more like T5 in most pictures that I have seen.  It'll be a neat car to see in person (hope to do that next year at the Talladega reunion).

Also, I have two Y4 cars logged but no Y3's or B3's just yet.

[FJMG]

I wonder if the twin to Tim's T5 hemi (except for the white int.) ever sold at the recent auctions?

[nascarxx29]

I was just looking through June 2007 with both of Tims car featured the article only refes to it as the brorwn car

[daytonalo]

What did Otis Chandler sell that car for 650 k
