Got a question for you guys

[nascarxx29]

There's a very high degree of probability that it was used to mock-up and test fit the nosecone

Does that precide the.Cotton Owens 500 that was borrowed and fitted with daytona parts.

I don't know if it preceeds the borrowed Cotton Owens 500 or not. I just know that of all the Daytona's it is the only with a chance at being the car in question in the photo's. I think me and Gene both talked about the Cotton ownes 500 as well, but after looking at the Reeker car I tend to think it is that car in the pictures.

Does Larry Still have XX29L9B287970?

The Daytona with the 287 start of the VIN is the one that Larry Bell used to own, that is currently for sale for $395K I believe.

I was mistaken on which car Larry used to own. The car Larry owned was the first shipped US Daytona, the one with the dealer installed 6 pac not the Reeker car.

Okay thanks for clearing that up

FIRST DODGE DAYTONA BUILT
A rare opportunity to purchase the very first Daytona built. Car has been in family collection since the 70's. 1969 Dodge Daytona SE matching #'s 440 4 speed with build sheet and previous owner history. This car was the very first one built with lowest vin # ,by far. The only car not shipped to a dealership after leaving Creative Industries, it was sent back to Dale Reeker ,engineer at Chrysler. Car is #501 on #501 list from Creative Industries. Car is beleived to be what was called a test mule or pre-production pilot car. Car is originally f6 bright metallic green but was changed to red aprox 1975 and later took 1st place at national meet in 1976. Since then car has been kept in private collection and this is the first time it is being offered for sale since the 70's.

Would be news to me if it was actually up for sale now. The impression I got from the current owner is that it wasn't going to be going anywhere anytime soon. There were other cars in his possession that I think will leave before the Daytona does.
