WIW Daytona Plug

[wingman(22)]

WIW trying to get an idea on what this plug would be worth. The guy does not need to sell but he may, and he knows what a re-pop goes for.

Any glass /chrome trim included and how bad is the rust

[GeneralLeeTESH]

Copy it or get Goodmark to reproduce these

All I can think about is the poor Daytona this came from... It's nice though I guess it had a donor card...........

hmmm  looks like Y2  maybe  were there any in Y3

my guess it was cut from a car thats been sitting a long time , after a wreck may be   look how much rust is on the lower part of the plug  , would it of rused like that if it was stored inside for many years

[wingman(22)]

Came from a Daytona I was told. As for rust it is not bad could be cleaned up pretty easy. No glass or chrome just plug.
So any idea of wiw?

[C5X DAYTONA]

In the range of $1 and $3000....   You will probably pick the number on the left.

Bill,  They seem to be all over the place.   Here is another one.  And it's not rusty and has nice paint on it.  WIW2U?   Is it worth more if you know the car it came off of?      And the window comes with it..

True enough. But, based on the thread being started by Bill and the file name having "daytona" in it, I made the leap of faith and assumed it was a Daytona plug..

I'll trade him a perfect '69 Charger decklid WITH luggage rack......  I could probably use it for my Y2 '69 C500 project..

  Uh Troy, you got something going on we should know about?  "C500 project"  or am I the last one to the party?

Hey Al. Nothing "new"... Maybe you didn't see the thread. But, remember, I traded the '68 Hemi Charger R/T ever-on-going project & my T7 '69 Charger 500 for the Daytona. I still had my '70 six pack Charger R/T project. I missed having a C500, so I traded the '70 v-code Charger R/T for another Y2 '69 C500 straight up. So, now I have two XX29 cars (one with a wing and one without)....

The Y2 may need some work around the bottom window plug area.. Not sure until I start stripping the car. But, that won't happen for quite awhile.

Sean,
I was hoping you would not notice my post. I knew you would give me grief. As for yours I know where it came from. And since you know what I want to do you should give it to me for a deal. Knowing it belongs on a real race car.......

I think you should turn the race car into a General Lee race car.    No extra body parts needed..   And then you can give me a deal on your Daytona goodies..  I will even buy the decals and orange paint..

Looks like they left the original window channel in there at creative?

[Aero426]

Yes the new window plug was just a band aid.   The headliner covered the unused original part.

[wingman(22)]

OK
I have seen all kinds of conversations about the plug. But what is it worth? I need an honest opinion.

[DAY CLONA]

OK

It appears intact, not too rusty, a new steel repro from me or Jack McG. is approx $2300-$2500, So I use that as a baseline on establishing price, I place no value on originality, or whether it came from a Tona or 500, just the condition it's in, it's just a chunk of steel,  maximum I would spend is $1000, even less if some metal replacement or fabrication is needed, if the seller thinks he has "gold" and is looking for something north of $1500, consider a repro.....

Value of any old car part in my opinion is:  What the seller is willing to sell it for and the buyer is willing to pay for it.      Of course that goes for re-pop parts too but the seller has to add in labor.    The re-pop part to me is just a chunk of steel.  Much nicer looking to start with but it's still a re-pop.   Now that is when I am doing an original car.  When building a clone car.  The re-pop is still not my choice.  Just too expensive for something that will have no historical value.  (To me)   I made my Daytona plug for free from scrap steel.  Took me 2 days of labor to fab and have all welded in, but no money out of pocket.   I had an original rear window to help with my build and I took my standard rear window trim to a guy at our local airport to add 4 inches to each of the 3 pieces.  Then had them buffed at a total cost of $125 for the trim.  When I went to install them I just cut off the excess.     Mike,  If you have rusty plugs for $1000 each I will take 3...

[C5X DAYTONA]

Bill    You know what I think....    Are you waiting for someone to tell you the plugs are even more worthless than Mike did?    Ok  $250 since it didn't come from a Hemi Daytona.     Remember I am waiting in line..    After you of course.        I guess it like getting Bobby Allison's autograph form an impersonator or the real Bobby Allison.   If both are going to cost the same, would you go through more headache to get the real deal.  Besides,  The clone parts take months to get.  This original part is sitting there waiting for you..  How cool is that?   

[wingman(22)]

No I am not waiting for someone to tell me it is worthless..............
I know it is worth something and if I could do what you did I would do it on my clone..... But I can't.
I just want to be fare about it and be sure I do not get took to the cleaners. Especially on a used piece, I just wanted someone to look at it and determine a value based on rust, any fab work etc...
I am clueless as you already know.

[C5X DAYTONA]

So if you had it Bill,  what would you sell it to me for?   

[Aero426]

Bill, does it have the headliner locating thingies?    Looks like it has the remains of the trunk hinges which could be restored.

[wingman(22)]

Yes I believe it does.

[wingman(22)]

As for you my friend Sean I would give it to you if you needed it.......
I know you would do the same for me.

[C5X DAYTONA]

  That isn't what you said on the phone.    But OK,  It's a deal.   You give it to me, I will arrange pick up of the plug.   I will build you one and install it since re-pro doesn't matter to you.     You just ship your car here.        

[wingman(22)]

It would be cheaper for me to fly you here and let you make one for the clone car.
Cost to ship one way over a grand, then ship back over a grand.
And if I don't get my dads car then I need a real one for the Hylton car.....
So I can just keep the original and still fly you out to make one cheaper than your idea..
