Troy-trade Y2 C500, brake update... 03/11/2012

[hemi68charger]

Well,, looks like perseverance has finally paid me a visit. As many of you know, I've always wanted an aero example of both Dodges, a C500 and a Daytona. Well, as you have followed over the years, my '68 Hemi Charger R/T and Dana, my '69 C500, turned themselves into a Daytona, like the caterpillar to the butterfly. I've had my 2nd '70 v-code Charger for many years now in the hopes of one day making her look like my 1st '70 v-code Charger R/T, White Lightning.

Well, in the spirit of not being able to have them all, I will be trading my '70 six pack Charger R/T for a '69 Charger 500. I will have two XX29's in the garage !!!!! It is a Y2 440 auto with the A32 Super High Performance 4.10 Dana, just like my Daytona. It has black interior with a black stripe, granted the stripe on it now is a Daytona version. Right now, my plans are to get her home. The owner and I haven't figured out the transportation of the cars yet, but that'll come with time. This has pretty much transpired/developed in the last few days. I have a special place because of Dana and the future new owner of the '70 has a special place in his life for the '70 as well. So,,, both parties are happy and pleased with the situation. And, that's all that matters. The cars will both be getting good homes..  

Now, the C500 in question may be known to some. I please ask you to respect the wishes of the owner and not post a complete VIN or owner's name/location. I have spoken to the owner about placing this thread so I could start a new story here for me and he's cool with it. He just had the understandable previously mentioned request. Once the trade has been finalized by the cars being where they need to be, I'll make the C500's VIN known..

I'll probably convert the car to a 4-speed since I enjoyed Dana so much and after all, it was going in that direction already. I'll make a future decision on the color of the car and wheels, but the magnums on the car now will probably stay. The Daytona stuff is staying with the current owner. He has a good front clip to go on the car, so no worries there...

Stay tuned....

Troy

500B ( for you Jim)  

Here's the '70 the day I got it.. That was a good day...



Now for another Chapter.......

[Ghoste]

Good for you Troy!    For me personally a Six Pack 70 is one of those back burner dream cars but at the end I would take the 500 too because it's a front burner.
The pair are going to look incredible together.

[PocketThunder]

Holy Crap how cool is that?  When does a bird come home to your nest?   

I vote to keep it Y2...       And add the 4-speed.. 

Do you still want my 69    I'll take that Y2 off your hands...

[Dave Kanofsky]

Congrat's!

Looks like the 4 speed conversion was already underway.  If you can tell us, what nose does it have on it now?

The Daytona stuff is all there... He's going to take it all off and replace it with a regular '69 clip like original. He has everything, including grille except for the brackets and 2 fillers for the grille repositioning. But, I can get that from Mike over at Dayclona...

Nice Trade 500B - I was a little worried when I finally read your email that the wing was going for a couple of 500's - but you did well. Good job! So who do we flip the DB crown to now?

I'm still the latest of the Daytona-getters...    In this group anyways......  I hope to one day flip the "DB" to Danny....

Was any of the "daytona stuff" that the owner is keeping OE or mostly repop?

Not sure.. Didn't dig too deep when I found out none of it was going... I was/am more concerned that '69 Charger sheetmetal goes back on, which it will... I prefer to get it back to a C500 since I have a Daytona already... Man, did I just say that !!??
