 It documents the F6 green car with a black stripe. And at that time the mileage 17171.5 .And that the dealer in long Beach Ca painted it silver and added mags to it.It also collaberates this car is #148 on the daytona shiplist and the dealer shows as Vern Holmes in N long Beach Ca

I bought that issue when it came out. I remember freaking out because up to that point, I hadn't seen an actual Daytona featured in such great color pictures before.
Lovely car.
Cool Daisy mags.

Did you notice it mentioned car was painted by Earl Shieb

And in here it mentions his other Hemi Daytona the X9 Black one .And how it got from VA to CA and sprayed canned white to reduce heat in the interior

Hey Dave,
That first scan is the one I sent you years ago. I use to carry around with me at school when I was 10 or 11 talking about my dream car. I like the part in the article where it says 220 mph top speed. Its says it in a magazine so it must be true eh That went a long way in impressing my friends.

I remember when Jim had at least two original Hemi Daytonas. He is a funny guy and wears that hat all the time.

Same here in England! I framed the colour page and still have it.

That rear view wing pic of the Orange County Daytona was one of my all time favorite pictures. I try to take the same shot of mine almost every time I take pictures. Of course I do not have the right lens.

This was our second attempt and building our own Daytona back in 81. I think you all know where we got the paint scheme.

That's dissapointing. But I will still check it out today

[69DAYTONASE]

That magazine article is the one that finally gave me " Daytona Fever" I still have the magazine that I bought(actually for the Chevy engine build article) but when I saw the Daytona, that was it! Darn near wore the pages out looking at it. I have since picked up a couple more copies.   The paint job is just too cool, be neat to replicate it.  
Yeah, it'd be something to see it in those colors today, the "Hot Rod magazine" Daytona.
I can remember putting rocks in a coffee can and shaking it to see what a hemi sounded like idling...
