How many black Daytona's out there???

[XS29J]

Any one have color breakdowns on daytona's??
Black and red would be my favorite....

[Aero426]

Not many black ones out there.   I only have 6 recorded in the registry, but I'm sure there are a few more that I just don't have color information recorded.   

V2 Hemi Orange is the most common Daytona color with 70 cars registered so far.
R4 red is second most common Daytona color with 69 cars registered.   
R6 which is more of a blood red is quite rare with only 6 registry entries.

I have not compared these numbers to Galen's list that he published around 1992.    If someone has that, please chime in.   You can get an idea of the percentages involved with the above numbers.

I only have 7 cars logged as originally X9 also, could be the same ones but I think I'm missing the X9/C6W Hemi 4-speed car that went to England.  So far, I have two X9 red gut cars - James L.'s and our very own 3--Daytona's.

Dave, I had that one listed as having a white interior, and having last surfaced in Tomball, TX.  Was that not the case?  My notes also say that the car had a K-frame and Hemi taken from a stripped-out C500 (you can also see the chrome valve cover in the picture you posted), but it's been a long time since I wrote that note.

My neck of the woods....... Last time I talked to the owner, who I've lost his contact info He still had it. An original 440 car with a Hemi shoved in it.. I at one time offered a trade for the '68 for it.. I hear it's a major rust project from Jersey? Would love to have it, as would most everyone..

I had found this guy when I lived in Houston TX in the mid 80-s .But allways knew about the daytona from NJ.Just didnt put the 2 cars together as the one and the same that far apart NJ to TX.I went to Jersey village part of TX .And met up with Rick Boen who had the superbird I got off him.Not knowing he had a daytona until .I had the superbird .But for sometime I tried to get it less 426 hemi engine he said was from a wrecked X9 charger 500.I tried many deal combinations less or with426 engine or trade for my R4 car etc deal trade.But he never wanted to sell the daytona even when I got the superbird  .As I wanted a X9 black daytona with white interior as this one was .Rick worked as a service manager at Tomball ford on route 149.in Tomball TX.I called regulary from NJ and asked about the daytona and 70 Big block Chevelle parked next each other.Up and after I had the R4 car.Then I fell off in contact.He is a nice guy and he drove the car from NJ to TX .Which is a ride .I did it several times buying cars in Houston and driving to NJ with them.I had found out by seeing the daytonas NJ inspection sticker and what town Rick mentioned he got it from Rio Grande NJ .When he showed it to me .That this car was from South Jersey .Near the Wildwoods.The shore area the car had the backwindow and rear half eaten by salt area exposure.Rio grande is real close by to Wildwood.So the area known shore eaten daytona goes to TX .And I cross its path again what are the odds.Also I know who has the J Lucy X9 red int car.But has different owner .Troy I have Rick B Address and phone number on my old car papers,Unless he has moved.You need them Pm me

Side note here guys but there was a X9 HEMI 500 that was in Tomball TX for many years. And it is 248663 if anyone remembers that car.

Isn't Elmer's car a factory X9 car as well? I was thinking that the last figure I saw for X9 Daytonas was 11. Not sure why but that # seems to come to mind for X9 cars.

Going on cars Ive seen wingcar newsletters and board discussions following best accounting from various sources  of X9 black daytonas 426 and 440    XX29L9B379741 440 AT X9 Black and very good chance the Pace car dated Oct 69 from Hutton Dodge XX29J9B383268 426 4 speed blk interior XX29L9B400566 440 4 speed  XX29L9B400575 AT 440 Red interior XX29L9B405187 Auto 440 XX29J9B405189 426 4 speed XX29L9B409044 Auto white Int 440 XX29L9B414652 4 speed Red interior XX29J9B414660 426 auto. Comes out to 5 AT 440 and Hemi. And 4 4 speeds .There also car painted black daytonas that didnt get accounted .I know J Services 426 daytona is black but a V2 car.same goes for the former A4 XX29L9B402971.column auto silver daytona that was painted black.Also looking for more and double checking info to get it as accurate as I can at this time

[Aero426]

So that would make nine of them known so far, at least by us.   

[hemigeno]

XX29L9B379741 440 AT X9 Black and very good chance the Pace car dated Oct 69 from Hutton Dodge XX29J9B383268 426 4 speed blk interior

Dave,  The '79 WW had 379741 listed as a "Gold Metallic" car (Y4?), and 383268 as a B5 Blue car.  Were these actually X9?  Any tag information to confirm these changes?  The other cars you've listed are the same as I have recorded.

[nascarxx29]

Narrowing down the Pace car by Hutton dodge and shiplist and vin.to 379741.Which appears black in the .Oct 69 picture And having seen or knowing of very limited Y4 gold daytona as like Carl swansons and Steve Kliens.As Elmer changed a black daytona to lime green .Maybe a chance he changed a black car to gold?.Maybe Doug or someone in WI that seen Elmers car would know if that took place

XX29J9B383268 was Jim Radke black hemi daytona that went to Monteverdi in England wasnt it? And this car here.But it shows in 79 Henry Watkins Bright blue.aside from known black 4 speed hemi daytona Jim Radke Hemi daytona and Don Hicks 426 4 speeds.Is there anymore other then pictured bellow .And X Don Hicks now Steve Foxs daytona seen at carlisle at the Jacobs tent

[nascarxx29]

So does this mean XX29J9B405189 Don Hicks currently Steve foxs daytona is the only true hemi 4 speed daytona?.And Jim Radkes car that was restored by Roger Gibson and sold to Monteverdi in England .Isnt a true X9 Black 426 4 speed daytona .And this account of the daytona that was black and painted spray can white Didnt happen.As it reads in here
http://wwnboa.org/mmfr.htm

[Aero426]

I have it that J383268 and J405189 are both 4-speed cars

[Charger-Bodie]

I am hoping to check out Elmers Daytona tommorow while Im at his salvage yard picking up a pick-up box.

[hemigeno]

See if he remembers anything about the other Daytona(s) that he's owned - specifically about the dark colored one from Hutton-Donaldson which may have been used as a pace car (379741).

[69_500]

Hey Brian, as him if he would mind a man from Indiana swinging up to check out his Daytona in the future as well. That is one car that I haven't seen in forever. I think the only time I saw the car was probably in 82-83. I remember going with my dad up there to visit him one weekend and that was it.
