Sold my Red Daytona (Cry)

[Daytona Guy]

I finally got to show both of my Daytona's together last Sat. Red Daytona took first in one class and the Yellow took second in it's class in an all Mopar Show. Had over 150 cars. I had no idea - and did not plan on selling my red one this soon. I could not turn down the offer. I will not say what I got out of respect for the new owner but I felt it was a fair deal. It was really not ready to sell, but he took it with all the flaws. It will stay local, if it is not sold again, so I liked that. I think he will do things with it that I just can't do. He talked about maybe a Hemi going in it.

I am sad. I put a lot of love into that car. It is in good hands. The guy has a Hemi Cuda covetable among other mopars. His car took first. I wish him and the car the best.

I wanted to at least drive the cars together so I asked him if I could follow him up to and on the freeway for a ways. Took some video and some pics and waved goodbye.

wel that'splains it.. so sad...    but it's not like your sufferin..

[Drache]

wel that'splains it.. so sad...     but it's not like your sufferin..

I second that! Careful you might get one of these  lol!

[Bluebeast]

Sorry to hear it but I understand when someone offers a great deal of money for something, it's hard to resist.

[Silver R/T]

oh well someone else can enjoy owning a Daytona now.

[ChargerBill]

Theyr'e BOTH beautiful cars!! I can see where the sadness comes from....

I really dig the white call-outs on the yellow's hood....sweeeet! Any more pics of the yellow one?

[KWS]

Hey man, that's sad news, but at least it's going to a good (local) home... and you still have that beautiful yellow and white one! 

BTW, did you get my private message I sent you??

kws

[Daytona Guy]

Yes I did. Did you get my response. I was not sure if you got it because my connection disconnected when I sent it.

[KWS]

nope, no response yet...

Your car deserved it. Regardless - Your 70 RT SE is a true car that is awesome. It probably was 200... I just guessed. Great to meet you again and talk. What a great show. When is the RT clubs show this year?

[Johnny SixPack]

Dane, sorry to hear she's gone, but it sounds like you'll get to see her from time to time.

I heard over 200 cars.   Regardless a GREAT little show.  
If I would have known what you were doing with both cars, I would have entered a different class.   As it was, I watched you fill in modified so I was trying to get out of it.   I told my friends I didn't want to go up against the yellow Daytona!   Never in my wildest dreams did I plan on beating it.   When they announced you won second, I was looking around to see what beat you.   I was in shock.


I took a similar pic.   This was Sunday on the way home.   This is the last time my buddy will do this for me.   It helps that both my cars are automatics NOW.






Not only does Tom have a Hemi vert e body, he also has an AllBlue ChargerRT.
He's a luck SOB.

So he did decide to buy 'ol blue after all? Did you get what you wanted?

Dane, congrats on the sale. Hey, you can only drive one at a time anyway.

[wetfeetmi]

Dane, congrats! This will fire you up to do the next one. If you want, you can come to MI and help with mine. Free room and board and all the Ice tea you can handle! Rick

[Chris G.]

What a roller coaster thread. Congrats on the sale daytonaguy. I wasn't aware the "current" owner had a Hemi 'Cuda .

[BrianShaughnessy]

Congrats for whatever you or anybody else in this thread bought or sold....   I'm confuzed

Brian, you need to visit the '70 site more often. We get all the good scoops first.

ps- Don't kill me Mike.

[ChargerRob]

Congrats on the sale. Just dont sell the yellow one.

I just drove to work and haven't even gotten my 1st cup of coffee down yet.    Confuzed is actually pretty good for me at this time in the morning.

[Old Moparz]

Anybody need a plane ticket from New York to Oregon?

[BrianShaughnessy]

Brian just "used us" like the rest on the 70 Board.      This new board came along and we were just swept under the carpet.

Wham bam thank ya ma'am....      I can't help being a slut... it's just my nature   

But leave the light on in case of booty call         

[River]

AllBlueRT, Glad to see you made the deal happen.     That was a quick turn on Tom's part.

[Mefirst]

Why cry over a car You probably got a load of money for it, use that money to buy something new and as fun as the Daytona..

I love my Charger, but if someone gives me the money I think its worth right now, well I wont think more than a split second and say -Give me the cash, here are the keys, enjoy it... And buy myself a new ride... When you die you wont be able to take your ride with you.. If I knew I could, well then it would be a compleatly different story...

/Tom

[Ghoste]

I admire that Tom.  I tend to get to attached to some of these stupid things.

[Daytona Guy]

I am using hyperbole when I say cry. There is a bond -O- with a car that you get when you spend so much time with it. ha. What is this other Board that everyone is talking about? I could care less if a thread goes in another direction. It becomes a game like Clue. Ha. My confusion on these boards is that I never know or remember who I am talking too.

[Mefirst]

I admire that Tom.  I tend to get to attached to some of these stupid things.

Im not saying that Im not attached to my ride, if I said that Id be lying.. But the truth is that everythings for sale for the right price, and if someone would pay me what I think my ride is worth, well Id part with it and buy a new Mopar.. Maby I could buy that 440 blower Cuda 1970 I had my eye on, but sadly was to late to make an offer on it... But still noone has made me an offer that Id accept, so the Charger stays in my garage... And if that day comes, its not only the money, a guy/girl that would want to buy it, well he/she would have to prove to me that the Charger gets a good and caring new home.. If not, no deal.. This is probably most important to me, if I was to sell my ride, the knowledge that it gets a good home..

/Tom

[Daytona Guy]

I might be slow but I think I am getting it AllblueRT   . If you need help let me know? This car will be on a t-shirt in Aug. Plus I do have some sweet pics of the car. Big   Pixels. Have a load of fun. Lets meet and cruz.

[BigBlockSam]

hey Dane
  congrats on selling the red daytona. now you got some cash to build a new one. maybe a blue one. 

[Charger_Fan]

Congrats to both Dane & Mike!
Wow, what a whirlwind thread...I'm dizzy!

[Ghoste]

They're all a whirlwind.  I haven't wasted this much time on the computer since the 66-67 forum started up last Christmas.  Hey, this is kind of like Christmas in July!

[bull]

  How long after I left did this event take place? Guess I missed all the fun but a guy's got to sometime. Congrats to both of you fine gentlemen. I guess maybe I'll get another ride in the red car someday, eh Mike? 

[Charger_Fan]

That's for sure! It's like a big party on this board for a while.

Yeah Mike, you may need to expand the garage now.

exactly

[RD]

congrats on the sale daytona.   what are you going to do with the money?   find a new charger and convert it? or go with something different?

[Daytona Guy]

If you ever want to get together and cruise around Portland let me know? I had my Yellow one up in Portland last week and WOW, what a responce. Get ready. Everyone will say, "Nice Bird". Da. and "Is it real". Sometimes I will say, "What do you think?" Just to see if they know what they are looking at. It sure is funny how things happen so fast.

I love this new board. I like it better than the DC.com board. Faster, cleaner, more user friendly and for me the spell chekker is grate.

I am done cloning for a while. I might pic up a rear plug and and some parts here and there. But for now I want to do all the little things to make this Yellow car better.

I'm sooooo confused here......

In laymens terms please.......who bought/traded what???!!!

[Daytona Guy]

A Fella from Portland bought my car. Then Mike apparently made a deal with him the next day at the Mopar Nationals at Woodburn to trade his Blue RT.

I had no clue untill around noon what went down. to cool.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Wow!  Talk about quick turnarounds!

[ChargerBill]

Dane, any more pics of the yellow winged thingy? Different angles and decent size?

I'm feeling the urge to make some new Charger Wallpaper.....I haven't made any in about 2 years.

[RD]

so blue rt traded his car for the red daytona that you just sold to the guy 

[Daytona Guy]

Email me and I will send you a good pic

[Charger_Fan]

YES, IT'S A SAD DAY IN THE GROFF FAMILY!   WE'RE LETTING GO OF A FAMILY MEMBER   What' sucks the most is thinking what's   gonna happen to BLUE when my buddy sells her.   Yeah I know it's only a car.

Hopefully it ends up in the hands of someone who'll treat it like a family member quickly & not flipped on the internet for the next 3 years.

[Brock Samson]

Yipee. I was right! For once i figgured it out without being told.. 

[Johnny SixPack]

If you ever want to get together and cruise around Portland let me know? I had my Yellow one up in Portland last week and WOW, what a responce.  

Dane, I'll be in Oregon (Portland and Lincoln City) as of Aug. 4th. Sadly I'll be at the freakin' wedding the day of the Kent, WA show (Aug. 6th), but I'd love to get a chance to see the yellow "D" while I'm up there.

When you get to town - I live in Salem. Just take the Hwy through Salem on your way to Portland and we can connect. My phone is 503-580-8312. I can't go to Kent.

Dane, will do, man.

Got the number in the cell phone.

I have a friend that lives there, so that works out even better.

[69_500]

So the red car is  gone now. So what color do you intend to do next. I mean come on we all know you will do another one here in the future. You can't just stop now can you?

[NYCMille]

Congrats Dane -

I hope you got what you wanted for the car and that you had it for long enough to really enjoy. Just think, now you can build something else!

[Daytona Guy]

Thanks guys. As I think we all know, this is a great community to be a part of. If it wasn't for people like you, NYCMille, my car would not have the look it has (wheels) and KWS for my interior look - (although nine is a cheep imitation) I am still running into so many guys with Chargers at shows that had no idea about our former site, but this one will be promoted now. There is no going back. Beside, I love the spell check.

AllblueRT - AllredDaytona?

[Charger_Fan]

.
AllblueRT - AllredDaytona?

That's not a bad one.



*EDIT*
Wait a minute, so is member KWS Kenny Wayne? With the Xtreme General?

If so, I believe we're gonna need some more fresh pics!
