Appears to be an older Nichels chassis updated through the years and reskinned a few times.
COOL STUFF!

What's the actual value of something like that?

I wonder if this one is a recreation or the second car Van diver referred to?

Here's a pic I took of it once.  Looks much newer than the one in the video.  Also missing a couple of the contingency stickers.

Nice video - good info!   I got the rear leafs for the #88 from Marvin, for use only at Talladega when it was still lumpy.
Towards the end, did you notice what was said about the trunk weatherstrip?

What's the actual value of something like that?  

Hard to say as there are not much in the way of comps to judge it.    Although it is not a front line car like a #43 or #71, the positive is it's a real period car, still in time warp condition.     That's pretty cool.      

The market on stock cars to me, seem soft.    I also feel very strongly that a public auction is the wrong place to sell one of these.    They typically do not do well.    I am sure this one will have a reserve.

Here is a good example of what I am talking about.    Although it is a much newer car, it is very useable and ready to run.   The Kulwicki Hooters Thunderbird came with a boat load of documentation of it competing and winning in Alan's championship season.      Sold for $32,000 at Russo-Steele.    So the new owner bought the engine and got the rest of the race car thrown in for free.     No reserve on a car like this is super risky.   Congrats to the new buyer as it is headed back home to Wisconsin.

Now, if the car was once a winged Daytona, and could be proven, $150-175K 

There is an old saying: "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got a wing". 
Very true for vintage MoPar stock cars.

Based on that, if it were discovered that chassis had worn wing car sheet metal at some point, who would be up for paying $40k for it, skinning off that beautiful authentic body, and re-skinning it as a "real" Daytona and flipping it for a handsome profit?  Acck, just thinking about it.

Here we go.  What if the 74 Charger has this chassis under it?
