Nova Scotia Daytona Charger

[Magnumcharger]

I finally made it out to Nine River, Nova Scotia to see the Daytona Charger rumored to be in a barn there.
Well, I'm 5 months late apparently. The barn it was in is still full of interesting part$, but the Daytona is long gone.
The former owner tells me it made it out to a new home in Ontario.

So, you winged warrior guys....who has it?

[maxwellwedge]

Not the former DB - that's for sure!   

[Magnumcharger]

Not the former DB - that's for sure!   

Huh?

[nascarxx29]

Is it the one in the barn on a trailer.On the mapleleaf mopar site

[maxwellwedge]

Not the former DB - that's for sure!   

Huh?

I was the original DB (Daytona Bastard). Troy is the new DB 

I know it wasn't me and I haven't heard of anyone here that bought one....maybe it will show at at Moparfest.

[Magnumcharger]

Actually...I thought it might be you.

This is the car...http://mapleleafmopars.homestead.com/carsinbarns45.html

And this is the same barn....but a '66 Charger is sitting in the same hole.

[nascarxx29]

Is this the one in bronze

I would have to say no. The one from this barn was sold only 4-5 months ago.

[nascarxx29]

Any chance of this one from a barn

Nope, that's another Daytona, from the US of A.

[6pkrunner]

It sat in the barn for quite some time. That was the one that a kid going to King's Collage had in the mid 70's. I had heard it was on the dealer's lot for nearly 2 years before selling. Didn't think the Nine Mile River owner would sell it - but then I never thought he'd sell the Coronet either.

XX29L9B414650 is shown being shipped to Halifax N.S. And XX29L9B414651 being shipped to Dartmouth N.S..Still checking to see if any more daytonas went to that particular area Nova Scotia..I found these 2 listed As the given number was #50 daytonas shipped to Canada.Gotta wonder how many are known alive or dead .Of the #50 that were shipped.I know we have a few on this board known of by vin confirmation .But not near that 50 number

[3--Daytona]

     Well I guess I know somthing, for once, that is important,,,,,, The copper color (dont know what no,) Daytona, that was in a barn in NS,, Now belongs to Rob at Clear creek concrete,, who lives about 1 hour south of Toronto. I have his add, but wont disclose it unless tell's me to.          3--daytona

[tripleblkr/t]

Is the challenger rag top still in the barn?

[3--Daytona]

Sorry, I dont know, I have never been to the barn.    3-daytona

[Ghoste]

I'll resist the urge to throw a "farmers daughter" joke in here at this point. 
But it isn't easy. 

[Magnumcharger]

Is the challenger rag top still in the barn?

From what I could see, nope. Not to say that it might be in another building.

The man in question spoke about your old Coronet Mike. It's a small world. He still has the "replacement" engine for it in his barn.
See this thread:
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,59623.0.html
The Daytona was sold as a result of a divorce, and as it was explained to me, the need to provide for college tuition for two kids. I'd say that probably did the trick.

As seen on another thread...

[6pkrunner]

I'd heard some of that story from a friend of a friend type of deal. The Daytona was in pretty hard shape when I last saw it. Haven't seen the owner in some years.

*EDIT* - in response to the shipping list you just posted - I' say the one in Nine Mile may have started life as the Halifax Chrysler Dodge one.

No problem Chris. Just put my name to them if you use them on your site....

[tripleblkr/t]

That's really not that far away from me, does he have any ebody convertibles over there? I dont care what shape it's in, I just need some peices off one and in need of a parts car.

[Magnumcharger]

No E body convertibles that I could see.

[Magnumcharger]

Just talked to a local "Mopar old timer", who actually remembers seeing the two Daytonas sold locally. Apparently, one was F6 Green, and the other was Hemi Orange (or red).
And he was infinitely familiar with the Copper one in the barn as well.
In his words, he thinks it came from a place called "Fall River" in the late 1970's. Where it originated from, and the VIN is still a mystery.
As far as condition, the reason it languished in the barn for so long was that it desperately needed a donor car for some of the critical body panels.
Ironically, the seller decided to let the car go at almost exactly the same time that the AMD panels became available!

[FJMG]

  I thought the copper one in the barn was the one that sold at BJ a few yrs ago? Sheesh with only a dozen or so T5's you'd think this would be easy.

[nascarxx29]

T5 Canada daytona?

[Magnumcharger]

All I know is...
The Daytona in the barn was a Canadian Daytona, so it was 414XXX. The barn is the same one I was just in.
Said Daytona had been in the barn for a LONG time.
Same Daytona was just recently pulled out of the barn (like 8 months ago).
And this Daytona is now somewhere in Ontario, Canada.

Your car was sold at Dodge City (now defunct) in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
You might want to talk to Mike Collins (6pkrunner) who posted above. Not only is he living in the area, he might have a bit of background on it.
Also, Sandy Colter (sandy.colter@ns.sympatico.ca) is the local mopar guru with recollections of all things winged in the Halifax/Dartmouth area.

[nascarxx29]

As the found 440 buildsheet?? shown with XX29L9B414651 That matches a known Hemi vin XX29J9B402974 whats the story with that

[kw mopar]

I have buildsheet XX29L9B402975  supposedly was the one found in my car when purchased by the last owner. Does anybody know if that car exists, would hope to see it find its proper home. Also still looking for my proper sheet for vin # XX29L9B414651

[nascarxx29]

I will look and see if there anything on 975 but previous ad had 974

[kw mopar]

Do you recall if it was T5 copper and did it have a Hemi in it ? As this build sheet shows.

[hemigeno]

That'd be quite interesting if 402975 turns out to be a hemicar.  Both the Dealer Shipments and the Dealer Invoice lists show it to be a 440 car - but the original Broadcast Sheet would tell the "real" story.

kw mopar, did you get my PM?

[nascarxx29]

Who knows this might be a documented wingcar buildsheet error

So did the buildsheet for XX29L9B402974 belong to a 426 or 440 .

Hey great meeting you at Moparfest Magnum. Your pictures turned out great and thanks for posting them.
The weather was great all weekend and I didn't have to wash the cars after the show, as I have in the past from dust or rain.
It was awesome to meet people from out East who actually new of the car or the owner before me.
Great to see Discotona in the arena. Maybe you have some pics. of it also.

  awesome cars  , good lot of pictures  thanks for sharing  MC

Hey Robin - Didn't know you were there - sorry I missed you. And Rob - It was nice to meet you.

In my past years of owning wing cars I determined that the serial numbers of Daytonas delivered in Canada new appear to have serial numbers in sequence. The lower numbers are from Eastern Canada and as you go west the numbers get higher . I know this since I have serial 656 sold new in Regina Sask, serial 655 was sold in Saskatoon Sask. I also believe i have the last highest serial number (667) which was sold in Victoria BC. I have seen some of the lower serial numbers and they were eastern Canada. I have also tracked all from serial 655 to my car 667 inclusive. If the reports of 50 new to canada are right and past experience shows the serial numbers were in order , the start serial (lowest serial) might be in the 610 range.  I believe that the daytona lists would probably answer this. I was told in the past the Canadian cars were clones because lots have the standard black 3 spoke wheel. Well i have a build sheet for one car and also both have standard black wheel.
