I spoke to the owner yesterday and he said MAYBE we can get down where it is stored this coming week.  He will take his new girlfriend, her teenaged son (who doesn't believe he actually owns a genuine Charger 500) and me down to check the car out.  That is assuming the farmer is home and we can get into the barn!  We hope to find the build sheet.  I will shoot some more pix also.

Yes, very sad but it was the right move to make timely progress on others,  Honestly I am a little supprised it took the 10wks to sell because of some of the nice qualities it had over many other builders I have seen over the last 20yrs, besides the sharks which might have wanted it for parts for a Daytona.   Yours is the appearant available remaining deal.  And this other green one above with all that rust looks like it need 20k worth of body work and NOS parts...........

Yes, very sad

I know the feeling...............

  I miss my 500 already, but what is dun is dun, all i have left in this world is that darn Daytona that takes up space in my garage.   O well!!

builder 69 500 wonder what became of it

I had this ad saved on my computer from June 2005




Hi wing car guys. I've got a 69 500 SE, F3 green with green interior, it is in a million pieces, but all the important stuff is there. I bought it with the intentions of making it into a Daytona, I figured half the work is already done, but now I'm not so sure. Danny and I have talked about the car at length and I keep teetering on fence about selling it or if I keep it, which direction I want to go. It is a factory a/c car, which obviously would be way off base for a Daytona, but my earlier position was "Hey, it's my car, if you don't like it, walk away" But now I'm thinking I should just build a clone from a-z and preserve what mother mopar contracted out. I need thoughtfull opinions on this one guys. The car is very solid (even the back window plug is pristine) I have an nos quarter for the left side (banged and patched years ago) and needs small sections of trunk floor and lower quarter skin on rt rear, no inner panels have rust and the floor is perfect. I don't have the matching engine or trans (440 auto on floor).XX29L9B23XXX.

The fender tag reads like this:
N85 R22 V88 26 G11 G33 H51 J25 M21 M31 AO1 AO4 A11 B51 C16 C55 F3 F3 CRG F8 CO4 925497 E86 D32 and the VIN. The roof has the two little tiny holes on each side of the "c" pillars for the se emblem, woodgrain dash, rocker moldings, a/c etc. I still have the back window and trim, 1mph strips, vin, fender tag, trunk lid (very nice) but I got the car with no front clip. I have 69 charger parts for the front, but don't have the 500 filler pieces or correct grill with the stand-offs. Danny would probably like the car if I put it back together, but if I do all that, I'll probably want to keep it. I just picked up an original A12 bee so now I have that project staring me in the face too. This sickness is going to kill me. I'm not posting here to advertise the car for sale, I just need some educated opinions from the guys that have been in love with these cars for the past 35 years. I used to ride in Rick Edward's bird when I was younger, been around these my whole life, but now with a gang of kids and too many cars, I just don't know what to do. Come on guys, gimme some

Did you ever get the full vin on this car? I'm kind of curious if its close to mine #232008.

back it out of the garage and take it to work. It won't be taking up all that space then........      That's what I do........

I will gladly let it take up space in mine   for free        or we could alway fill your garage back up I have plenty of car to do a Troy-trade (tm.)  with you .   

[XS29LA47V21]

.... might as well make a line then, add me to it, after all it would look down right sexy next to mine... in my head.....maybe less to my wife ... this year.

That's what I think about myself when I start to fret about not having Dana anymore...........

  I am trying not to worry about so many things in life as much as i did, have lost a lott of family and friends in the past five years. Sometimes you need to step back and look at what you need or want out of life. Car ownership wise i guess i have achieved the top for me.    Jay.

Built the same day. I can imagine them rolling down the line....

Hopefully it will be saved. Thanks.

Yeap,, but make sure you still enjoy yourself in the process............. I'm still "Dad", "Husband", "Christian", but I'm also "Troy"............... And Troy loves to look and drive that wing car... Now, my days of being a hoarder and "gotta have them all" is definitely over with because of the previously mentioned definitions of myself. As long as I  can still provide the quality of life we're accustomed to, I press forward. Now, when the time comes that I feel I need to go down another route/path or into another door, the cars will be "bye-bye".. But until then, I'm still going to "just sit by the Daytona and chill out in the garage watching my NASCAR". 

I commend you Jay on acting on your gut and doing what YOU want and not bending to peer pressure...........   

Best of luck in all your adventures............
