More than likely 386546 if the SPD is 520

Cool !!!  nice to know another one could be saved... But man, she looks pretty weathered for a car that's been garaged since '71.... The garage must have had a leaky roof and let the sun in........

But, alas, it's another Daytona to hopefully hit the pavement..

I placed the first bid but was outbid about ten minutes after........

I didnt see it on the shiplist is that vin right in the ad.No actual picture of fender tag on ebay. And the way its re written out of order .I checked shiplist for 519- 520 built cars againist vin list and 926 job numbers.his car doesnt appear to be on the shiplist list.And no pictures of front end or front end parts.Car doesnt seem to add up to me

The VIN is 386546, as stated elsewhere in the ad (the Fender Tag codes he listed have a couple of small typos).  I cross-referenced the S.O. number to confirm that it's #375 on the list, and it is shown as having been shipped to Senate Motors in Washington DC (awfully close to Maryland, so that would make sense too).  

This was a car known to exist, but I didn't have the fender tag codes until today.

That car was owned by one of the first DSAC members from back in '75.    The story about the car being bought from a police auction with nose damage is correct.   Real low miles too, like 11,000.     I will have to review the notes, but I believe the owner wrote way back then that the car had been involved in some illegal activity like drug running.   This person was in the club from 1975 through 2009, and kind of disappeared.   So he may have passed away, and that could be why the car has come on the market.

As mentioned, it is 386546.    

[nascarxx29]

Thanks I looked it up by the #375 number .Found it  375   dc      Senate Motors Washington, DC   8/30/1969   

[nascarxx29]

Good thing that number 375 was legible.Making out the 386546 from this pageThe 926266 number on list matches the ebay transcribed fender tag.The other transcribed info was off.Making things not correct and not adding up

Hmmmm, that's a bout 100 miles from me.

       Hmmmmmmmmmmm,61 miles from me!!!! Why is it baby blue???

[69 OUR/TEA]

Wonder if its close to reserve??

[69 OUR/TEA]

And why not put pics of interior,front end,or these NOS parts he has??

[nascarxx29]

Looking in my 70- up newsletters for this cars story.Only ran across a 1975 roster car wasnt on it

[ksquared]

OK, as a non-expert, I would appreciate one of the experts explaining the significance of this photo.

[nascarxx29]

Might be because usually torsion bar rusts there and breaks away.And auto rust tech makes a repair cap for that area .And that area hasnt been touched

[ksquared]

Thanks nascarxx29!!  

Is the torsion bar specific for Daytonas, or found on all Chargers?  (I know, another basic question.  I think I know the answer, but I'm not sure.)

OK, I found the answer here for a Charger which also shows a great photo of it: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?topic=72838.0

[nascarxx29]

It is dusty & crusty and obviously hasn't been stored in an ideal enviroment.  The fenders and nose cone have got to be in real rough shape, otherwise they'd be shown.

Considering that it'll take at least 75 large to get it back in shape, plus hundreds of hours of time, the 64 dollar queston has got to be; what's it really worth?

Given the market,and examples like Troy not being able to sell his at 125k for a real nice car,so for a real nice 440-4bbl car,$100k. Therefore,you are correct,you'd have $75k into it,so at that,I don't think the car in question is worth more than $30k tops.Now I'm not saying someone won't buy it,because history has proven that people will spend more than half of what its worth restored on a major project,and then have more into by the time they're done,and could have just bought one done and drove it now and save the years and aggravation of restoring.
Now as far as someone that can and will do all the work himself,and really wants this car, is a diff story,might give a few more $$$$$$.
What do you think the $$$$$ ratio of a project car should be to it being a restored one?? 20% of restored value,25%,40%.....?If this guys res is $50k,that is nuts,just buy Troys!!!!!!

[nascarxx29]

Seeing this car and condition .The Big Willie 440 car be the better buy
