Does Anyone Know The Status Of This Daytona?

[LeeBoy]

The site hasn't been updated since 2003. Is anyone familiar with this car? I  thought that the story was quite interesting.

That's the so-called "Spy Daytona" IIRC.  Here's a link to a thread just over a month ago about the car:

http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,39570.0.html

It went through Mecum in 1/07 and bidding got to $180k, although it didn't sell.  I found the link from Mecum (wasn't working in that thread when I tried it a minute ago), but you might have to sign in to see it through the website.  The car sold in December of last year for +/- $120k. 

[EDIT - The car did NOT sell for $120k - the screen capture says that the car is still available]

Here's a screen capture I did:

Cool. Thanks for the info.

That car is this one as shown. I have talked to the owner but I beleive it has changed hands - not sure.

How very interesting....in numerous ways:
1.  The CF-18 in the background: I'm pretty sure that very a/c was up here in Cold Lake.
2.  Those pictures look to have been taken at the Airforce Base in MooseJaw, Saskatchewan.
3.  Just this week, I was emailed these pictures, taken in the early 1980's, of a Daytona...in MooseJaw Sask.
4.  See how it all comes together? (Yes, I realize it's not the same car...)

is that the same car as the mecum car gene posted?

the black wheel car looks like julius' old car...

Thanks guys, great detective work as usual. You are truly a great bunch.
I updated the Secret Service Daytona with all the pics on one page.
I hope you fellas enjoy it!

It did sell on this link for $125k. Very reasonable I thought!!!

Gotcha.  I did not check out the last Kissimmee auction, and that was where it sold.

3--Daytona saw that car while it was being restored.  FWIW I don't think he was terribly impressed with the work done, and perhaps that affected the sale price some?

It's still an original Daytona and in today's market it's still a good price for what looks like a decent car.
