WIW Dodge Daytona PROJECT car

[gtx6970]

Well,,,, title says it all.
Original B5 blue with black int. 440 - 4sp - 4:10 dana car

Car need a major ground up. Original motor is long gone and a 1969 Hemi is in it now
Original metal nose was smashed years ago( don't worry it's till here ) Janick glas snose is as well.

A buddy of mine is seriously considering jumping ship on it, He's had it for over 20 years and done nothing with it. He aslo has a 1958 Chrysler 300 vert . He's thinking of selling both and buy one car done

ps , before you ask- he's not interested in project trades

Bill,

How solid or rusty is the body, framerails, etc?  What major sheetmetal work will have to be done to it?  Are all the other Daytona-specific parts still in place?

Interesting project, for sure.

Dave, I'm pretty sure the one you're thinking of is one of Danny's dad's old cars - 355101.  It did sell then (9/2006) and ended up in Neosho, MO -- so I doubt it is the same car.  It popped up again on eBay this last July with a B-I-N/obo price of $575,000...

Interesting project, for sure.

Bill, it all depends on the extent of any rust issues... The nose for a purest who wants a steel one will be pretty pricey..........

Could range anywhere from 40 to 55/60K to the right person, maybe a little more if the Hemi's going with it............

I talked with mike and several others about that car @ monster mopar in st louis , sounds like a great car/project

1st off, this car has NOT been advertised to death nor has it EVER been on the 'bay. It hasn't even seen the light of day in the past 20 plus years. Same - current - owner since the early 80's

He went with me to Garlits and naturally with 13 hours of drive time we just got to talking. And the thought is beginning to cross his mind he's never going to get it done. He's about the same age as myself. Time and especially desire are slowly slipping away to do a ground up restoration. So, maybe it's time to  sell and find something done or at least closer to it.
Owner is in Vegas this week for SEMA . He's a pilot so he travels a lot thus making it tough to get hold of him sometimes.
Car is for the most part complete, OE nose is there just damaged and would require a VERY VERY talented metal man to repair.

I'll see about getting some pics of the car the 1st chance I get

Still for sale on Autabuy... I think it's listed at its reduced (bargain) price of $495K 

[gtx6970]

Not to bring it back up, but just to let anyone thats set me an email or pm .
I talked to the owner this afternoon. Nothing has been done with the car in regards to a potential sale or not. Once the decision is made to either sell ,,,Or not to sell . I'll send notice with contact information.
But in our conversation today I suspect he's going to sell it, when is the next big question. I did mention a possibile trade with a DC.com  members car and he sounded mildly interested.

Thanks for your interest.

  There is many eyes looking out for this kind of a find.I can remember on another board vintage wingcar post  Danny was on the look out for 4-or 5 of his dads old cars #356522 400563 409--- I cant think of right now something Red on Red turned out to be the paddocks catalog cover car.I dont think he found all 5 of them
