That car was for sale at Carlisle for around 110-115 (I believe). No offense to the owner, but it looks better in pictures.

No shit.... That's the last thing I would be telling perspective buyers (even if it were true)

Original steel?   The hood is a regular Charger hood, not a Daytona hood.

[1970Moparmann]

Beat to crap.  No wonder a dealer thinks it's worth more then what reality will bring.  Yet again, another vote for Troy's car!!

Ha yeah, but mine will be a  CAT 440 model  per Mr. Roper   
I already told John I will have to distinguish mine from his.
Hmmm  maybe some flames ....

So what's the difference between the 2 hoods again?

The 4 support/reenforcement ribs on the production Charger versus the smooth one for the Daytona. They are located at the front edge of the hood.. In the picture of the hood on this thread, you can see clearly 2 of the ribs..

no ridges underneath on a Daytona

[hotrod98]

When I build Daytona clones, I remove those dimples. Allen, did you ever notice that on your hood? 
It's just something extra that I do. Isn't as easy as it would seem either. I can spend an entire day just altering the hood. We've had the discussion on here before that there was possibly a Daytona or two that might have left the factory with a 70 Charger hood.

Larry, I honestly never paid any attention to it before, but I will take a look.  I have no complaints on anything you did on my car

i heard you really hated it and were going to give it to me   

[WINGIN IT]

Thanks for the insight and the link Troy.
Man the more I read the more I think it was just a miracle these cars got built !

Not to get way off topic as I know some of these posts do   , but the link Troy posted above talked about the hood latches being different as well.
When looking at mine, we noticed there was no lever to lift up on, and it appeared it was like that from the factory, not broken off or anything.

So were there different styles of hood latches or Daytona specfic?

Wow! I realy have to stop drinking   It seems that conversation completly slipped my mind

[hotrod98]

A friend of mine that saw your car being built keeps saying that he's going to talk you into selling it to him. I told him that I thought he just might be wasting his time. Besides, I get first dibs at buying it back.   

[41husk]

Well I said I would never sell the 68 I sold to buy the Daytona, so I try to never say never.  However if I could some how afford a real Daytona or bird, say for example the black ice Superbird I would probably sell my Daytona   God, Am I turning into Troy ?

Yes you are !!!  Scenarios running through your head are TOTALLY free........ One never finds the gold unless searched for.........

[hotrod98]

I would love to trade my Superbird for Joe's (wingin it) Daytona but he's enjoying it too much to even think about a trade. 
I like Daytonas and Superbirds both equally but if you own a bird, you tend to want a Daytona and vice-versa...lol
One of each would be nice but that would mean selling a whole bunch of my other toys.

[FJ5WING]

I havent seen a Daytona owner that wanted a Bird yet. Other than the 6bbl and pistol grip I dont see why they would? We could go on and on about the differences but that was all covered in another thread.
