69 Daytona 304 miles

[Chris G.]

iahve that issue and to whoever said special paint only comesin butterscotch and rallye green is way off, i know of a special paint 70 runner close to me that was ordered a chevy blue-MATT

Hey Matt, I know of that car. The owner also has a rare XP '70 Charger with the XH/SE option. I can't tell you how many times you have corrected me or educated on this wonderful Mopar hobby. Thanks for all the help. 

I sure miss SilverRT. He should be reinstated.

What happened?

you think he'll take my trading stamps for the car. give me a break, that price is ridiculous. it's not a real survivor with a repaint.  my hotrod has 0 miles on it. for the last three yrs. i need a new speedo cable. mileage is easy to fake. nice car  but the price is to high . Rene

It IS original miles.  I have seen this car dozens of times, and I know Elmer personally.  I bought my 69 rt from him-he owned my 69 between the time my dad had it and I got it.  It took me almost 15 years to get him to sell it.  

I never even looked at the fender tag,  it didn't seem important at the time.  Galen has the documentation on both of his wing cars.

Elmer has a charger 500 or two as well.  If I can find my pics, I will post them.

I dunno, but Mefirst got in the last laugh; http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,9150.msg113368.html#msg113368 

Odd...I didn't notice he had gone.

[hemigeno]

Mr. Duellman's car was listed in the '79 WW newsletter as a black exterior color car.  I wonder if they were logging the fender tag information that was reported, or if the car was still black then?

You can see the rough outline of the tape job they did around the door VIN tag, and there's visible green overspray in several locations - like on the steering wheel, radiator, etc. 

This is a low-mileage car that in some areas would have to be restored to look as low as the miles really are.  $675k...     Will the madness ever stop??

[Ghoste]

Asking and getting are two different things.  Although given all that has transpired of late, someone will likely pay that much.

Gene I was under the impression that his car was painted that green the day or shortly after he purchased it new in 1969. I could be wrong, but remember going to see the car with my dad in the early 80's and it was green then.

Well, I have no real idea myself.  I was only questioning based on the '79 owners list, when the car was shown as being black.  That doesn't mean it definitely was black at that time, it just made me wonder.

[BigBlockSam]

it's a shame, that car hasn't been driven. it was made to go 200 mph not sit in a garage. Rene

I think that most of the cars listed on the 1979 list, were supposed to show what the car came from the factory as.

Case in point is Charger 500 224396 which in 1979 had already been converted to a 4 speed console car, but is listed as it came from the factory as an AUTO no console.

Danny,

That's the answer to the question I was hoping for -  that the Owners List was logging what they knew or thought to be the factory configuration of a car.

Thanks for clearing that up!!!

[69_500]

I'm not positive on that one Gene, but I know on a few cars that to be the case. There is a few others that I know of a color change early on, but are listed with origional colors.

This is the lowest mile daytona to date.But not original color though .But still a original black X9 4 speed car with 304 miles .Earlier in this post I had it showing 309 miles.

Anyone with any input on the door decal?  Why the 9/69 date?  Geno, does your Daytona have a full date or just the month/year like that one??

[nascarxx29]

I dont think my car has the door decal on it.And its a very original 22.000 mile car either it was forgot at the factory or fell off. I didnt see no old outline of it being there. When it was new picture circa 70-s.And how it stands today as seen on carsinbarns like something like 35 36 years later below

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Mmmmm is that R6?

Somewhere like 35 36 years later

[[[[Elmer Duellman]]]] still owns this ultra low mileage original Superbird.   This photo was taken in 1975 wth 11,000 miles.  When I saw the car a year ago, it only had 13,000 miles on it.  It still wears its original paint with the advertising for Elmers Auto Salvage.  .This is the guy who own the daytona a superbird on this link and 69 charger 500s.

Chris, my original decal was removed.  I can see where the outline of the adhesive was, so I know it had one.  When they do have one, it did not have a full date - just the month and year.  Jim (3--daytona) probably has one on his green car.  ECS Automotive Concepts makes spot-on repros of the VIN stickers.  I think the Daytona sticker fonts are just a little different than most, from talking with Dave Walden (owner of ECS Automotove).

ECS Automotive VIN Tag page

David Patik (Performance Car Graphics) has pointed out before that not all Daytonas came with the VIN sticker, so it's not unheard of for an original unrestored Daytona to be stickerless.  Could be that the line workers just plain forgot to put them on some cars.

Dave B. - I don't recall what your VIN is, but I would be curious to know its build date - if it's an early car, that might lead us to believe that only the later-built cars got the stickers.  Mine is a 6/9 car, which is fairly late in the run, and it had a sticker.  That's still just a guess though.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

OK Geno so if its the month & year why is this one 9/69?    That would be for a 70 model year no?

Could this be a "70 Daytona"
