[69_500]

good looking list there.

I wasn't aware that your Daytona was that low mileage Jim. Hopefully it turns out as nice if not nicer than your R4 car. Which by the way is a gorgeous example.

[nascarxx29]

And J Mccauley got a low mileage green daytona that came from MO and was shown at the LV Nevada show. but Im not sure what the miles are on it .Also has a black 440 daytona and R4 red 4 speed 440.and Dr H in Mo I sold parts to is a original owner of a F6 green daytona.And a rough F6 daytona from Mo formely owned by Travis.I havent got there mileages recorded.For my survey of how many we got of limited original mile cars

[69_500]

3-Daytona on here is Jim M. with the cars mentioned.

I believe his green Daytona that was just recently found has like 50K on the odometer. Not positive on that, but for some reason that figure jumps to mind.

[nascarxx29]

Thanks for the info 69 500 .Jim M car is a sister car my friend Pauls 440 4 speed daytona

[69_500]

Yeah wasn't there a magazine article about that? I believe it was titled twins or something like that? Because they are identically equpied, as well as being consecutive VIN numbers too right?

[nascarxx29]

Those are the cars.The story was called seperated at birth maybe

So is this correct that only one (1) Hemi Daytona was sold in Wisconsin?   If this is true i know of the original owner who still owns the car to this day. 

[hemigeno]

Paul,

That's more than likely the case, although it has been (rightfully) pointed out by others that there were occasions where cars were traded between dealerships, even out-of-state.  It's not possible to say absolutely for certain that it's the ONLY HemiDaytona from WI, unless we can identify where each and every other HemiDaytona was sold new at.  I'd peg the chances at 95% or higher it was the only one sold new there. 

Does the proud owner you know live anywhere near Thiensville, WI? 

[nascarxx29]

If that WI hemi daytona is a bronze one 4 speed of CA .Ive seen it

[hemigeno]

1 line was unreadable unknown state.

Dave, which line was that?  I have all of the cars assigned to a state so far, or at least I thought I did...

Paul,
Does the proud owner you know live anywhere near Thiensville, WI? 

Thiensville?  where is that?  mapquest brings that up by Mequon down by Milwaukee.  The one i know of is in the opposite side of the state. 

If that WI hemi daytona is a bronze one 4 speed of CA .Ive seen it

I dont think its Bronze.  I'll ask my friend about the details on it.  Its my friends Uncles car. 

[hemigeno]

Well, this is a classic example of what I mentioned earlier.  Thiensville is the "supposed" destination of the Hemi Daytona shipped to Wisconsin.  That does not mean it definitely sold from there, it's just the recorded destination on the Daytona Shipping List.

Paul, can you get the VIN?  The one listed as being shipped to Thiensville has a VIN that ends with 409066.

There's also the distinct possibility that a Daytona on the shipping list was recorded as a 440 car when it's really a J-code Hemi.  There was another Wisconsin Daytona, 409075 that was shipped to Watertown, Wisconsin.  It was shown on the list as a wedge car, but two of the more recent Winged Warriors lists shows it to be a Hemicar.  If it's a legit Hemicar, then there were two Wisconsin HemiDaytonas.  So much for me being 95% sure, eh?   

I have five or six exceptions such as this to run down, where a car is listed with the club as a Hemi and the Shipping List shows it to be a wedge.  There's only one instance that I have found where a club-reported car is listed as a wedge and the Shipping Lists posts the same VIN as a J-code Hemi.  It's hard to say if someone attempted any verification of the VIN's on the Club lists, but I doubt if that's the case.  The reason I can say this with confidence is that I have found several instances - seventeen, so far - where club-reported VIN's have numbers transposed or are off by a digit or two (they don't fit into the Shipping List's numeric sequence/pattern).  That would have a significant impact on the number of "known" cars, since several entries on the club lists would be removed if my suspicions are correct.

I will send off yet another email to Ed & Sue George.  I hope they respond back this time...   

[PocketThunder]

I e-mailed my buddy this afternoon and he said:

I know of two Daytona Hemi's that were purchased from Bernard's North Town in New Richmond.  My Uncles (Which I am not sure of the color, but I don't think it is black) and a Lime Green one which was painted black because at the time it wasn't considered a good color.

Was lime green an option for Daytonas?  Maybe he's thinking Superbirds...  I'll give him these VIN numbers and he can run them by his Uncle.  Hold off on what i say then untill i can verify what his Uncle really has..

     HEY NASCARXX29   My car is number 92 on the list, The wingwarriors list shows that it was sent to spyderweb dodge in poetau OK but sold by New dodge city inc in Tulsa on 3 13 70 to a RONALD W BURCHAM. I bought the car in december 03 from the second owner, a MR WILLIAMS in enid. A interesting note, MR WILLIAMS owned the daytona that was destroyed in a flood in Enid in 1973, you can see a picture of it on the Wingwarriors site (one less daytona) he told me that he bought it back from the insurance company and pulled the 440 and put it in a wrecker and then just junked out the daytona.       JR.

[nascarxx29]

Thanks wingman I see that daytona upside picture in a newsletter .Ive seen on the daytona list where 2 dealers in the same state will show the vin of  that car .My friend has a daytona from OK sold from May Ave Dodge

[hemigeno]

Was lime green an option for Daytonas?  Maybe he's thinking Superbirds...  I'll give him these VIN numbers and he can run them by his Uncle. 

F6 was as Lime as it got in '69 (and on Daytonas).  I'll be interested to hear what your friend's Uncle has to say, and thank you for asking about it!

[chargervert]

[nascarxx29]
