1st US Shipped Daytona Charger?

[Magnumcharger]

So, if I'm reading this correctly, the claim to fame of this car is the fact that it was the first of it's kind NOT shipped to Canada.

Oh yeah, and it has a dealer installed Sixpack.
Does anybody know the history of this Daytona?

Update: I think EVERYBODY must know this car! I just found at least four seperate threads mentioning it!!
Here's two:

1st Winged Car shipped in the USA. 1st USA Winged Car Period! R4 Bright Red, 9,246 miles, 440, automatic, RWD.  This is one of the rarest cars ever produced, the Winged Cars couldn't be given away back when they were built, now they are a hot commodity. This Daytona is the 1st Winged Car shipped in the USA and was never registered until June 6, 1972, they sat at the dealerships for a long time. The original owner owned the car until Jan. 19, 1990 when it changed hands twice (never registered) and I bought it, it had about 6,000 miles then. The mileage the original owner put on the car were really fun and hard miles. As of today, there are 9,246 actual miles. It left Creative Industries with 17 miles on the odometer, on Sept.19, 1969 the Multiple Carburetor 6 Pac was installed, 32 days after it was shipped from Creative Industries. Shope Motors did the installation and it was noted in the Warranty Book and covered by Chrysler. This Daytona is 1 of 3 documented 6 Pac Daytona's. The car has a great history it left the factory painted R4 Bright Red (1 of 75), and when the car was 6 weeks old, it was painted Plum Crazy with a Gold wing. In 1974 it was painted like Richard Petty's car, looking like that it has appeared in several calendars and automotive books, it was really ugly. It was last on the road in 1977, the Pennsylvania inspection sticker is still on the windshield, then it went into storage until 1990. The car was taken back to it's original state from April to July 1995. The motor was gone through, everything was in good condition. The transmission was also rebuilt, it needed it, the gentleman that owned the car really ran it hard. There is NO filler in the car, the car was stripped to the bare metal and then repainted with PPG base/clear. There has never been any damage or rust anywhere on the car. The interior is 100 original, the only flaw is 2 tiny 1/4 tears in each front seat, so small the camera will not even pick them up. Everything works except the fuel gauge, I've tried a new sending unit, and checked the gauge, it just will not work. The car is as original as you will find, (still has the original spare tire, never used), it's just like it was when it was new at the dealership. Chrysler has just returned it to me, they have had it since this past February when they had it on display at the Daytona 500. After that, they used it at the Richmond International Raceway for the Media Launch for the new Charger. The paperwork with the car is as follows: Odometer Disclosure Statement Original Title dated June 14, 1972 Original Window Sticker Warranty Book with 6 Pac notation Operator's Manual Broadcast Sheet Envelope from Creative Industries with spare parts This is a numbers matching car, Galen Govier knows the car, and many other High Power Mopar people know it too. This is probably one of the most correct Daytona's in existence, plus, it's the 1st Daytona shipped in the USA, the 1st USA Winged Car period!

good info thanks for sharing

According to the article, they couldn't give the Daytonas away, but I remember reading somewhere that they were in fact all sold rather quickly.
Is the author someone confusing the Daytona with the Superbird?

[FJ5WING]

anyone know who restored the car in question/

Id love to know what engine paint they used so I can avoid using the same paint.  looks like poop next to the exhaust manifold. 

[Ghoste]

Looks thin like they were trying to miss some spots?

[maxwellwedge]

The color and flatness looks about right to me - I would have painted the exhaust manifolds orange too - but that's me. Notice the air cleaner lid is a different shade? That is also correct. There are a lot of detail mistakes though...nothing too hard to fix.

The tough look is where I'm eventually going to go with my Daytona as well.. Althought the Goodyear Polyglas GT's that are on it now are nice for "shows", I prefer the NASCAR stance of full wheel wells........ I'll probably take my 15x7 steelies I have, paint them V2 like the car and get some new Goodyear Eagle GTII's with the solid raised lettering. Then I'll either have doggies or just plain ole' chrome lug nuts.......  This R4 Daytona is tough looking........ I may as well install my extra six pack setup.

[72chargerSE]

My father knows the owner in MI...I remember when the car was restored...just can't remember who....
