78 Wing Car?

[dreamcatcher]

Can anyone tell me if Dodge made a wing car in 1978?I am looking at a 1978 Dodge Magnum XE that says Datona on the rear quarters and has the big Datona wing on it.The owner says the wing is factory.I looked on the internet and I have found a few pictures of these cars with the wing.However I cant verify that they were factory options or were intended to be this way.
Any help would be great!

not factory but i think they look good

Wonder where would they have gotten a wing to fit like that?It looks right on the car.And I cant find a place that makes anything for the car as far and resto parts even.

post a pic if you can

The only thing that could be refered to as a wing in 77-78 timeline .This Charger daytona .That silver car looks like a Magnum wing replica

I think we have a winner here.Thank you oldcarnut!!This has to be one of the cars.It is located in SE Nebraska about 175 miles north of KC.I am still thinking of getting the car however it probably has no value.
Thhanks Again for the good information!

  but it has a lot of fun value 

[moparstuart]

 there is a guy here in KC that builds those cars  , have seen a few of them 

[RD]

there is one in topeka, the place (used car dealership) did a quickie paint job (terrible mind you) and slapped a daytona sticker on the side and was asking $3500 for the car.  The guy tried to convince me that it was completely "original" and came from the factory that way.  i then explained to him, politely mind you, that he was full of kaka and commenced to educate him on the difference between a magnum, a 69 daytona, and a 77-78 daytona.  I then offered him $750 for the POS that they totally screwed up and he didnt smile   ( I was internally though )

Well Allrighty then! Thanks for the post.I did go see the car tonight.It was a cheap wing and a truly awful paint job!So they must all come from the same place.I did like the looks of this car but MAN would it take a lot to make it look like it should.I then found an old sale listing on the net where the guy who has the car now paid (yes you guessed it) 3500.00 and was lead to believe it was an original factory car.Well the price on this one went down to 1300.00 and I have declined.(that should say everything that needs said)Thanks to all who responded to this post.As time goes on these cars may be collectable but they ARE NOT DATONA's and NOT WING CARS!

if its a t-top car i would buy it for that   

[no318]

I have a T-top triple black magnum with 58k actual miles that I got from the widow of the original owner for sale.  360 4bbl (non  lean burn), auto, 3.21 9 1/4 rear axle.  Runs and drives well.  Interior good.  Needs body and paint from sitting outside.  Comes with a pair of used fenders.  Been in my storage for the last several years.  I would take $950 cash for it.  In Nebraska......

Can email pics if interested.....

HELLO , I HAVE A VERY RARE COLLECTOR, 1978 DODGE MAGNUM EX WITH ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT 360 V8/ 727 AUTOMATIC AND FULL POWER EQUIPMENT. FLIP UP HEADLIGHTS, AIR CONDITIONING, FIRESTONE DATONYA 500 RADIALS, MOPAR RALLY WHEELS WITH FACTORY WHEEL DISCS AND ONE EXTRA IN THE TRUNK. THIS IS A RUST FREE SURVIVOR AND VERY SOLID AND DRAWS ATTENTION WHEREVER YOU GO WITH IT. THIS IS A "MUST HAVE" CAR FOR MOPAR BUFFS! IT ALSO HAS DARK GLASS T TOPS AND THE OPTIONAL DAYTONA PACKAGE WITH REAR WING. THIS IS THE SAME WING USES ON SUPERBIRDS AND DAYTONAS IN THE LATE 60s. THE MAGNUM WAS A BRAINCHILD OF DODGE, SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR RICHARD PETTY AND NEIL BONNET TO KEEP RACING THESE CARS, AS THE CHARGERS TIME WAS UP ON THE TRACK. THE FRONT OF THE CAR IS SLEEK AND AERODYNAMIC AND YOU REALLY GET THE FEEL OF A CLASSIC NASCAR WHEN DRIVING IT! THESE ARE QUITE COLLECTABLE AND YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER CONDITION MAGNUM WITH THESE OPTIONS OUT THERE. I WOULD CONSIDER TRADING FOR A DIESEL BOBCAT, AN EARLY BRONCO, FJ-40, SCOUT, TURBO DIESEL 4WD OR??? NO JUNK PLEASE. I CAN TRANSPORT TO DENVER IF WE HAVE A SOLID DEAL DONE ALREADY. DONT MISS THIS ONE. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAVE A GREAT DEAY. PLEASE CALL 308-293-8125.

  it's spelled "DAYTONA" 

[daytonalo]

I would rather drive a Kia

[mauve66]

even though i'm using a tona wing i would never think of putting a "DAYTONA" decal on it or calling it one, though someone may think about it 20 years from now after i'm long gone

been thinking of a large "BOEING" decal though...................
