CONGRATS TO JOHN A. ON WINNING OE GOLD!

[Mopar John]

John,
I would like to congradulate you on the OE GOLD certification of your Daytona! I would also commend your shops of Paul Jacobs and Troy Angelly Restorations. The Daytona looked awesome and had a ton of original parts for a vehicle 43 years old! I Really like the hubcaps that came with your Daytona!

Hey Big John,
Again I want to say Congratulations!  Besides being thrilled that you received Gold, I really enjoyed getting to know you better and the Friendship that ensued.  Thank you very much and let me know if there is anything I can do to assist with your future projects.  Enjoy the moment.

Super car John. Even though you told me to quit talking to your wife about buying it. We all know it is way out of my league. I will shoot you a memory stick in the mail with pictures. Not sure they would all fit on a DVD.

I was interested on the grading points system criteria and was surprised to read .The often lost and or missing Buildsheet paperwork added points.

John, loved seeing pics of the progress in the resto & the final product. I expected nothing less knowing you.  Cant wait to see it in the flesh.  Congrats & hope you are feeling better

[69daytona]

Moparstuart,  Not too sure how many original owners still have any kind of connection with their cars, but can not be that many.  At least John has information on me and Jack Buttion who I originally sold it to.  So that is about 30 years of verifiable history on the car.  At least the car has been in good hands through out it's life and not left to rot in some old barn or field like a lot of others.

Thank you to all. The prior owners particularly Leon Reisner and Jack Buttino took great care of her, and I've enjoyed their friendship. Jack had the car over 30 years.  All the owners helped in the documentation. of this car and provided vintage photos.

Many on this board have helped in one way or another. Mopar John, Dave Benasutti, Gene Lewis etc all helped over the years and gave up items from their personal NOS collections.

I thank you all for your kind words, and would like to thank my family, Paul and Katie Jacobs and Troy and Eli Angelly for their hard work and outstanding restoration and paint and body talents.

Many others like Dave Walden, David Patik provided exceptional parts and advice.

Helping and improving our hobby is what this is all about.  We have all learned from each other.  I enjoyed speaking with Gene Lewis and Tony D all weekend and learning about their respective cars.

What's the trophy / plague look like?

[WINGIN IT]

No trophy, no plaque, just your head held high and your pockets empty.
I think that's a pretty good image...
