Right VIN, but wrong car. My car has black interior, 440, auto. The vehicle did spend most of its life in WA state, but in 1997, it was sold to a friend in PA & I bought it this past August. The car was done over some time in the early-mid (?) 1990's.  I was told that at one time in its life the car was supposed to bave been owned by a famous cartoonist & was repainted maroon to match his other car(s)

If anyone's got any info on this car, I'm all ears.

Here in Washington state it is required also. I had mine mounted and yes it looks like crap but with driving a fast, bright red, big wing car, I didn't want to give officers any reason to pay more attention to me than they might already be.

The cartoonist is supposed to be this guy.......

The previous owner resided in West Chester, PA.

[nascarxx29]

West Chester not far from me Im close to Philadelphia .Nikol Satesten who lived in that area that recently passsed had a daytona I looked at it was a 4 speed car.

Yes, this is Nik's car, but Nik's first Daytona was a 4 speed; red with black stripe. He aquired this car, which is an automatic in 1997. I've known Nik for 30 years & his untimely death was tragic, to say the least. I purchased the car from his widow. Perhaps we have crossed paths one time or another. Might you be, or have been, a meber of the NEHOA?

[nascarxx29]

I was in the NEHOA early -mid 80-s when Ann Hosgood with the T/A Challenger headed up the club . Niks 4 speed car prior owned Doug Mangus  XX29L9B356514.Then it went to Barry K then ended up. I believe with Duane Catlett car is now restored.About 1/2 way or more down on this link

[Richard Cranium]

I joined the NEHOA in either 80 or 81 & eventually became VP & then President (circa 1993-1997?)

What do you know, I'm involved with this one......


Meet #70, spring 2011 will be held in Mansfield, Massachusetts.   Activities will include a bus trip to Boston to see the USS Constitution, the JFK Memorial Library and a stop at Faneuil Hall Market for food and shopping.

[Richard Cranium]

Here's a couple of updated pictures. This WWII German camouflage look gives the car some character...

Another...

again..........

[Richard Cranium]

Last one. I originally brought the car in for some spot repairs and the thought of a coplete paint job initially shocked me, but now I am glad that the car is going this route.

[Brock Samson]

  that's a nice lookin coronet, BTW You can post four pics per post...

I'm lucky that I know how to post one! 

[Richard Cranium]

Here's a few pictures of the Daytona taken today. The body is now in epoxy primer & three more coats of gray primer will be applied; then wet sand smooth. The doors, decklid, & hood are off the car & are being stripped inside the jambs & underneath. The nose cone's in primer and hopefully, in a couple more weeks it'll be just about ready for paint. 

[Richard Cranium]

Finally, the body has paint on it!! The rest of the body panels & loose trim pieces will be painted by the end of next week and the car is being wet sanded today. The end is now in sight.

Unfortunately it's hard to capture a good picture with the sun shining through the garage doors.

Looking good. I'm afraid of the avalanche as well. My paint job isn't perfect, but dang nice for a '94 job. If I address anything, it'll turn into one thing after another. Been there, done that.........

[BigBlockSam]

paint don't have to be perfect to have a great, fun time with your car . remember they were meant to be driven not trailed from garage to show and back . 

[472 R/T SE]

I think I might know who owned your rig, I'd have to ask Dan to be sure.  The WA. state owner's name might ring a bell if I knew it?  Sorry, but I can never quite make out what Dave's saying.

SB Bob would be your best bet & I'm sure 8WHEELER (Dan) remember's it as well.  There's another red one up here that I think is a survivor that's owned by a younger fellow, pictured below.

I checked out that thread a few months ago. Definately not my car. At one time, my car was painted maroon with the wing, fender scoops, hood inlays, and lower portions of the quarters, doors and fenders painted red and no stripe. In the picture, it's pretty hideous. While taking the car apart, there are traces of yellow overspray, but I don't know if it was yellow before or after it was maroon. When it was in WA, the license plate read "WINGCAR". I also have a picture of it in the early-mid 90's with an Oregon plate on it. 

I talked with the body shop today & everything is painted & buffed with the exception of the nose cone, and that should be painted either Thursday or Friday. The tail has been painted with the Organisol & the windshield & back glass should be in next week. With a little luck, the wing & the stripe should be on next week too. Hopefully, the car will be coming back home in a couple of weeks.   

[nascarxx29]

Still checking my resources .Not your car but I do know of another daytona painted burgundy aswell at one point .The Bill Stech white on red daytona  Burgundy & lace with stripes

[nascarxx29]

This is the only Oregon daytona I seen in the old records so far
I do show in older 79 records a XX29L9B358399 R4 red black interior Herbert Ellis Medford Oregon???

Yup, that's my VIN number. Please tell me what your records show for owners. 

[nascarxx29]

Will see what I can turn up old car records .My girlfriend does family genelogy .And has been helpfull finding me past owners.If you have any prior owners names

[Aero426]

When you mentioned the red trim, and Oregon, I had an idea which car it was.    Finding the photo album was harder - but here it is.  The owner name on the photo matches your VIN in the computer.  Photo is 1977 or slightly earlier.   If you would like a hard copy, let me know and I will get it to you and any paperwork.   There should be some correspondence as well.

Yeah, that's my car alright. The picture I have is taken from the side. It's a good thing that this picture is faded because the color combination is  downright putrid.

Here's the picture that was supplied to me from 2 previous owners ago...
