As most of you have already seen, or maybe not, Dana and Hemi are on the chopping block.. It's all for a good cause, a Daytona...... If I don't sell or the Daytona sells before I can get it, I'm still sitting pretty................

So what chopping block did you put them on? And Troy, what are you asking out of Dana, inquiring minds want to know.

Ebay... It's the quickest way to get exposure..........  Sorry Danny, can't say right now what I'd be asking for Dana...  Now, if some was to send me an email offer for an individual car, I'd take it under consideration.....

I saw that eBay auction this morning before your post, and figured you were on the trail of something...  Otherwise, I can't see you offering up Dana on the ol' chopping block without something really cool waiting in the wings (pun intended).

I'm interested to see what kind of offers the whole package will get ya, although for whatever reason I think you'll get more serious action off eBay than through that auction.

And I'm sure you'll get that exposure too.  Guess I should have clarified what I was trying to say earlier - you might get more serious offers from folks who see that auction on eBay and then contact you off-eBay, than from the actual bids received.  Either way, I'm rooting for ya...

Troy, all I can say is that this must be one nice looking Daytona, for you to seriously offer up the 68 and Dana for it. If I was in your shoes it would have to be one really nice ride to give up that pair. Now I'd trade the 68 and the 70 for one any day, but that is just my opinion. You know me and my silly infatuation for 500's and the Daytona's.

Oh no.. I'm not looking to sell both for one car.. I have to have enough money left over to get something else of a lesser pedigree. The '70's out there as an addition to a possible, still, two car trade on my end...........  Now, I may be itchin for a Daytona, but I'm no fool either..  ;)

That is one confusing ad.  2  cars, possibly a 3rd V code and maybe the kitchen sink for a clincher.  I would of just tried to sell each car separately, but that is just me.  Does the V code have a name?  Brown Betty is always good for a primered car, or maybe Honeydew.

Well Rick, there's a method to the madness on why I did what I did...... It was primarily for exposure (cheap world-wide exposure mind you).. I know as well as everyone else who has stated it that I would have had a better "chance" of selling the cars individually, but this is a case of all or nothing.... I'm not going to risk losing one car and still not having enough money to get what I want.. That does me a disservice. Not sure why the ad's confusing, for I no where put in there anything about a kitchen sink  :icon_smile_big:

I've gotten positive feedback on the ad from interested parties that it's rather self-explanatory and evident. 
Thanks for the input....
