So, I got some tail lights N.O.S. from a guy in Ontario, he just sent me a pic of a Daytona for sale in 1975. preety sure it's never been seen before cool pic.

That picture brings up an interesting point: that car is only 6 years old and it's been repainted or whatever that is...I can't imagine doing a repaint on any new-ish vehicle (such as my beautiful '15 Shaker Challenger)! It makes me wonder if it was the way a) owners drove them back then and they had been wrecked/dinged up or b) quality of the paint or c) getting a paint job was easy and cheap or d) cancer set in within 5 years?

The paint around the rear window and all the parts that were added at Creative Industries during the conversion probably started going bad over time. The complete car was not repainted during the conversion, just the rear window area and the front clip. Hard to believe, but the roof was blended into the original paint, along with the quarters. The doors are the only parts of the car that really wasn't affected by the conversion (that does include the bottom half the quarters and rear section (rear valance area)..

Um looking at the snow picture is the rear side marker look like a 69 reflector or a 70 light ?

Might be enough snow to fill a Charger back window in ?

I'd already put new factory quarters on my '69 Bee by 1978. Winter driven on the salt laden roads of Ontario!
