Update: just chatted with original owner of my Daytona.. Band Daytonas...

[hemi68charger]

Hey Gang..
Just got off the phone with Mr. Jeffrey, Terry Michael Jeffrey, from "rock band??". He was one of the three band members who owned Daytonas. Terry remembers my car very well and all were 440 autos on the floor

He owned the red (probably R4) with black interior and wing (maybe white?). I'll ask him again. Picture sure does look like it's white, but maybe it's the sun glare.

PS: I stand corrected by Terry's email last night.. His Daytona was red with white interior and wing......

Lewis Warford owned my car, V2 with black interior and wing
&
I believe Coryell, Silver with black interior and wing (maybe JoAnne's?)

All were bought new at Parker Dodge in Paducah, Ky @ about $4,900....... Wow !!!!

Now, if I can find Mr. Warford.. Past owners of mine were as well Andy French, maybe Gary's brother? And, before that, Mr. Conrad Irby.

Thanks guys... Terry emailed me this morning... Hopefully he'll be able to dig up some info on Lewis (my car's original owner). Maybe Terry's former car is the one at Legendary?  http://www.legendarymotorcar.com/site/Dodge_Daytona_292

The A4 silver daytona you refered to I think is XX29L9B410797 AT car

Still trying to find some updated info on the Conrad I  daytona

[hemigeno]

All were bought new at Parker Dodge in Paducah, Ky @ about $4,900....... Wow !!!!

I only found one Daytona listed as having originally shipped to Parker in Paducah, and there were only 5 listed as going to Kentycky.  That's not to say two others weren't re-routed or later swapped between dealerships, OR that the one on the list was definitely part of the trio sold to The Executives.  

Looked up 402984 car shown on shiplist from Parker dodge.July 79 Y2 Auto daytona James Cox Jr Elyria Ohio.

The Parker/Paducah car on the list is L9B402980 (not 402984, as that one is shown going to Amherst OH), and it's not a known car to me anyway.  

The A4 silver daytona you refered to I think is XX29L9B410797 AT car

I can't corroborate Dave's connection to 410797, as the only information I had was a VIN confirmation so I don't know what color it was/is.  It was shown on the Ship List as being sent to near Indianapolis which isn't horrifically far from KY but not next-door either.  Who knows, as stranger things have happened - but for me it's a big stretch in logic to say that it for sure is that car.

Geno,
Terry may chime in here. I forwarded the link to him and he may create a username. He would love to find out about his former red Daytona. I think you, or someone, mentioned my V2 went somewhere to Indiana? I'm assuming there weren't a whole lot of dealerships that got three Daytonas shipped to them. I'm jumping off the bridge here to think 2 or possibly 3 other Daytonas were transferred to Parker after they reached their initial designation from Creative Ind. Maybe the Y2 was traded for one of the other Daytonas........ After all, V2 and R4 stand out much more than Y2... 

If I can find Lewis and Conrad, I would have contact about 5 different owners. The most recent being Pete Wiseman, Dave. M/Julius and Harvey, the guy I got it from.

I'd be in even worse shape without having everything computerized, been there too   



Troy,

Your car is on the Ship List as having gone to Evansville, IN - maybe 100 miles or less as the crow flies to Paducah.  Not too much of a stretch.  You're quite correct in that not too many dealerships got three 'Tonas, and out of the ones who got three it may be even fewer that ended up actually selling the ones they received.

It is not guaranteed that 402980 is the red car Terry originally purchased.   Even if it is the correct car, I'm not going to be much help with finding out about that car right now, as it isn't currently on the radar screen anywhere.  Can't hurt to ask the questions though, as someone who does know may join up and chime in.

[nascarxx29]

Im still trying to transcribe my stuff to computer since 79-80 and up wrote down on paper scraps etc or talked info into camcorder from various events .And later would share car finds with Dave & Galen.Im still sorting it out.They tell me how many unknown cars I discovered for the records.I also found when searching the archive ads or the shiplist how many daytonas a certain dealer recieved.And was gonna to put out that list . How many daytonas 426 or 440 went to one particular dealer some got  1 or 2 maybe even 5 .Still not done with that page yet

[hemi68charger]

Well, Terry did it........ He found and talked to Lewis just a few minutes ago !!!!!  The original owner to my Daytona.. WooHooo !!   He's in my former neck of the woods now, Florida. I'm going to give him a call tonight and chat. It would be great if we could find out about Terry's and Eddie's car. Terry knows Eddie's still in his area. Wouldn't that be something, the "Band" Daytonas getting back together...   

[nascarxx29]

 Good going Troy 

[nascarxx29]

Found Conrad Irby but he had a 67 conv .Doesnt mention the 69 daytona or description.Still looking around

Conrad's name is listed on the front of the folder that came with my Daytona along with Terry's, Andy French and Lewis'.. There are two other names I believe. I'm sure Conrad went through a couple of cars, maybe even a couple of Daytonas.......  Mine may have just been the first...

[moparstuart]

very cool      

[nascarxx29]

The A4 daytona Troy refered to wasnt it the infamous power tour breakdown down daytona.Friends had taken various pictures and shared with me.That Ky based MC alpin Leon Jasper car fell of the radar screen

[nascarxx29]

Dave, I believe Lewis sold the car way before he moved to Florida. After Lewis, the next few owners where in Ky and/or Il. I believe....

[moparstuart]

 troy now you have to find all there music and play it 24/7 when your in the daytona  .   At least get an album cover and display it with that picture and the car .

[hemigeno]

The other KY shipped cars is a car I know 356510 Leon Jasper Original owner from Mc alpin Ky.

V2 black interior 4-speed, right?  If Leon is the original owner (I remember that being a confusing story) that rules it out.  BTW, has Leon been reunited with the broadcast sheet for the car, or does he even still own it?

Swope dodge car is this one 409027
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,69268.msg781123/topicseen.html#msg781123

Not necessarily... same dealership of course, but there is NO guarantee that the used car they were selling is the same one they received new.  Perhaps a decent chance of that being the case, but it cannot be said that it is the same car based on the scant information we have right now.  I have a record that the VIN has been confirmed, but no color or transmission info to increase the odds of it being the same car.  Personally, I tend to be a bit more of a skeptic on things like that until more info is known.  To each his own.



The only other KY cars on the Ship List are:

409045, which is Danny's dad's R4 red interior column-shifted auto car
400562, which is Dan Gaddis' car currently painted up in #71 livery.  I think that was a green car originally though

Lots of possibilities though for cars from surrounding states to have ended up in Paducah, just like Troy's car may have.  Does Terry remember if the cars were brand-spankin' new, or were they perhaps (slightly) used?  That would make a difference obviously...

Doug Spotts who bought my friend Pats daytona Pat had this sheet since 78 .We tried getting Leon Jasper to look to see if he had his in his car.With no luck .I gave Doug all related info when he ran a ad looking for his buildsheet in the newsletter .The 2 cars are twins.Good karma Doug Croxford helped me get Doug Spotts the original motor back in the former owned Glen Peters supebird.Good to hear Leon Jasper buildsheet might find its way back with Dougs efforts .Wonder what sheet will be found in the Jasper daytona

[hemigeno]

Good to hear Leon Jasper got his sheet .Wonder what sheet was in the Jasper daytona

I did not know if Leon got his broadcast sheet back or not - that's what I had asked.
