Just missing the car.

I'm all for saving them if they can be saved, but from the 2 pics on the cobalt site looks like all there is left is a rusty passengers door jamb and 1/2 a rocker

 sad this car has all the documentation you could ever hope for  just no car .

[richRTSE]

...what now?

save it all and wait til dynacorn makes a charger body and "restore" it!

[69_500]

I would gladly take that stuff off of your hands. Have a nice spot here on a shelf in the garage for the parts, and palace in the safe for the papers.

Desmond,
Congrats on getting more of this Daytona together! Also thanks for the update!

I would check and see if the 440 block can be sleeved and saved? The matching motor and trans will be more valuable than just a trans.
Then I would check and see if there are any T5 auto Daytonas that need a drivetrain? Maybe one Daytona could be made whole in a differant sort of way? There are not many T5 auto Daytonas to begin with!
If not like richRTSE says wait for a Dynacorn Charger body.

Missing the visuals here but the T5 is similar to the TX white Daytona a couple yrs ago in shape I am guessing.  

Is there an old thread on that as I recall was a field fire rusty ....rusty white Daytona that apparently sold on "the bag"?

L9B355107 is the white car that was toast.   If you do a search on "355107" you will get some thread hits with discussion.

Thanks, White...one of my two/three favorite colors for a 500/Daytona... but not that rough.

This ghostly photo of XX29L9B414627 was taken circa 1971 by a Bob Saunders when he encountered the car while travelling with his parents on the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland. She wasn't in too bad of shape...yet. Note snow tires....The car obviously had a white tail stripe even though the salesman mistakenly printed "B.B STRP BLK" on the original bill of sale to designate 'bumble bee stripe - black'

If everything go's as planned, I will be the next owner of this sad car. Now if I can get mark worman and graveyard carz to bring this one back from the grave.   

[moparstuart]

    good luck , you have taken on a massive task , all I can say is document everything you do with pictures or no one will ever believe u could have saved it . 

[69_500]

Congrats if you can get it. I sent a pm about trying to buy the car but no reply.

Congrats, I was going to offer up a trade of a complete 526 hemi for this, but since you got it, I'll keep my hemi Good luck with it and let us all know how it turns out.

[Nwcharger]

Thanks.... I am going to do everything I can to save this car. I understand its going to cost a fortune to restore but Ive always wanted a Daytona and this seems like the only way I will ever get one. I can promises this car will not change hands again until I'm in the ground, i can't tell you how pissed my wife is about it.

[Alaskan_TA]

Car? What car? 

[DAY CLONA]

Car? What car? 

Agreed,...all I see here is a "car on paper",....or an "envelope"

[charger_fan_4ever]

As i said there is 1/2 a rotten rocker and door jamb unless there is another pile not shown. There is nothing to restore.

[Nwcharger]

Theres more to the car than that picture. I got around 80 pics of the car, or I guess what's left of the car.

Just be prepared to endure a lot of flack anywhere you show the resurrected vehicle, the reactions will be extreme.
