Big Willy's Daytona for sale on our site?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

I recently came into possesion of big willies daytona, it is untouched and remains in the same shape it was in when last sold. I'm putting the feelers out there to see if there is anyone interested in the car, it does in fact have the numbers matching motor and transmission, it is not as bad as it looks as far as rust I've seen way worse off cars but I'm not sure if that really matters unless your going to restore the car but then it looses all its patina. any questions please feel free to call 763-245-0134, not sure what its worth or what to sell it for i have picture of the car but it looks the same as it did 4 years ago.

I hope it ends up in the hands of someone who will get it restored and not get caught up in the flipper circle.

Same thing happen to the MD Ken Jennings superbird.Thought it had a permanent home with the guy who begged the family to buy it.And had tried to sell it for $$$$$$$

I wouldn't restore back to stock. I would restore as it appeared in it's street racing days.

[Ghoste]

Oh God, without question!!  It's Big Willie appearance IS it's stock look as far as I'm concerned.

No pics, vague description, "not sure what it's worth" = doesn't smell good.

[hemi68charger]

There's a post on Moparts about the car.

My friend is in the middle of a car deal. He went out to the east coast and come back with the Big Willie Daytona. I only got a chance to look at if for a few minutes yesterday. What the heck do you do with a car like that? Restore or leave alone? It would be a relatively easy restoration- but once you've redone it- it loses it's original appeal too eh? Neat piece of Mopar History

Hi everyone, I'm the one that posted the big willie Daytona, I just want to set the record straight so there is no speculation but i have known don for a few years and have done a few restorations for him, he contacted me on a couple of cars he would like to sell and I told him I would see what i can do, he did not mention selling the big willie car at first it was a couple of other cars then at the last second he changed his mind on one of the cars and decided to sell the big willie coming to the conclusion that he did not have the time to have it restored, I have talked to him many times over the years trying to urge him to restore it but the big question was always how to do it , he kicked the idea around about doing it up like the king or queen daytona, I'm not sure myself the hard part about restoring a car like this is once its restored it will never be like it is now and it looses its history other than what it will be remembered as in old pictures of it.

I'm not a car broker, I'm your average mopar guy but i do sell cars here and there, I own a collision and restoration shop in a small town called Ogilvie about 1 1/2 hours north of minn/st.paul , i mostly do mopar restorations but do the occasional ford or Chevy, i have quite a few mopars myself plus about 150 parts cars. When the opportunity came up to buy these cars i got ahold of a investor buddy of mine and he bought the cars, hes not a car guy but he understands good investments when they come along and i did not want to see the car end up flipping around, I would really like some feedback on what should be done with the car , restore it or not and if it gets restored what condition or paint scheme it should go back to, i could not find many pictures of this car back in its glory days other that the on on the cover of mopar collectors guide in 91, i would really like the opportunity to restore the car if it is gonna happen or id like to see it in a serious collectors hands or museum.

The car retains allot of history, as soon as i got it back i sat in the car and looked around, the first thing i noticed is there is a small picture glued to the rear view mirror of some of big willies family , there is still some change in the ashtray of the car from the year 72 73, some pens, and some of those grocery store stamp like coupons in the glove box, they must of used it as a grocery getter sometimes. kinda corny but cool. if anyone has any question please feel free to get ahold of me.

   We would really like to see some recent pictures! 

[elacruze]

 

Oh geez please take pictures of every little thing, gum wrappers in the ash tray or whatever.
I'd have it restored to it's Big Willie historic past, and keep the pennies and gum wrappers to put back in when it's done. 

I think the Daytona in the opening scene of "Two Lane Blacktop" is a BW car, isn't it?
