That car has been for sale forever. I wonder why it hasn't sold.

yeah i as thinking along them lines also  ,


if it was such an original car ,  its lost all its originality now !!  should of left it as it was !  ,
  still an awesome car !1 but not correct !!
remember reading in a mopar mag years back ,  a real low milage white bird  ,  6 thousand miles , was at a used car dealer or something , because the paint original quality was poor , the  dealer agreed  to repaint it , as part of the deal so the customer would buy , the body shop painted over every thing under the hood , clips bolts & done a crap masking job also , & blacked out the underside , all its originality was lost !  , sorry guys for going a bit off track

Well - the entire bottom of the car for starters. Every bit of the front suspension and steering is painted black....cheap, quick and dirty backyard stuff. The wheelwells aren't undercoated. The bottom is painted the same as the top. There are extra holes drilled for "new" home made grounds. When I see these shortcuts you can bank on the fact there are dozens of other shortcuts taken. I have seen this 100's of times over the years. Lot's more - don't feel like typing that much. These are just a few things - none of which anyone should accept on a 90k car. 50-60k maybe...not 90k for a U code.

Forgive my ignorance as I don't really follow the wing car values very close.

But,,,,Are the Daytonas worth that much more , that a running driving matching numbers Bird isn't worth mid 80's .but yet a Daytona project will in bring the upper 70's and up.

I know the car is far from correct, but theres a lot or people who could care less about correct. But overall  it's a not a bad looking car , even if it is white . The column auto and bench seat would be my first choice in one, just not white. Wingcars are WAYYYYYYYY out of my price range so it's moot point,,,,But if I had the cash !!!!!!!!

TT - I agree - I have seen too many very nice survivors get ruined forever by woodchucks. There should be a stiff penalty for these people....make them drive a Lada or Skoda for 5 years or something.

Bill - In production numbers alone the Daytona is a tougher find. Like I said earlier - I bet you dollars to donuts (whatever that means  ;D) that judging by the amount of shortcuts I can see in only a few small pics, there are dozens more we can't see. This is the usual quicky rattle-can resto. I bet there is bondo galore and who knows what kind of body work/prep was done before paint. Short-cuts lead to more short-cuts. I would not be busting on it if it was 50-65k....but 90 is all the wood plus for a 4bbl Bird. You can get a very nice clean original car (un-screwed with) for a few bucks less than that.

The rallye wheel paint color looks kind of funny to me. Does it look funny to anyone else? It looks more gray than silver.

Very nice looking Superbird, and white's probably my favorite color on a 'Bird. Bill, don't ask me why, just is..  :icon_smile_big:

Jim, I agree on the diluting of originality if it was a survivor beforehand. I don't recall seeing this car before in it's unrestored condition, but feel your pain on restoring survivors. That's why I pained myself to keep Whitey, my former survivor '71 Charger R/T, as nice and original as possible. Believe me, there were plenty of shows where people asked, "Why don't you paint that? You can see the primer coming through the paint." Ah well, to me, I knew what it was.......

I also agree, if there's shortcomings in obvious places, then there are likely more in covered-up/painted places. Take for example. The car had an expensive restored/reconditioned wiper motor, but next to it is a generic-over-the-counter ballast resistor...  :shruggy:

No , not at all.
I fully agree the car is far from anything resembling correct. And being a white , column auto, 4 bbl car is the cheapest bird you can get, But still I kinda figured @89K would be a good deal for a nice driver . I doubt one could buy a project, and restore it for this money.

alls good  :cheers: :cheers:
