Another Canadian Daytona Question

[ksquared]

With all the Canadian Daytonas recently, I was hoping somebody could answer my question.

Did all, or any, Canadian Daytonas come without the fender scoop cutouts?  It seems that somewhere I read that they didn't originally have them.  One of the old pictures posted here on XX29L9B414641 seems to show the front fenders don't have the cutouts.  But then it seems there are many Canadian Daytonas pictured with the cutouts.

I also wondered if somehow a Daytona needed a front fender replaced, did an NOS one come with or without the cutouts?

Thanks for the help.

that's ours!


414641, and yes it has a defroster.  f8/black, 440 console auto, ps/pdb, and not much else is known.  no fender tag, no bcast sheet.  options listed are the pretty obvious ones.  it has tinted glass in it, but the doors don't belong to the car.  also has a plain non-8 track dash, no tach.  after green, it was painted eb5, fc7 then fm3.  the quarters shown were the second set (by welding marks.)  the story goes that the car's sheetmetal went on a T5 hemi car, which fits as most of the sheetmetal on the car now is that color.  car has a '71 warranty non-hp short block, but has all date correct stuff on top (heads, intake, carb, dist, etc) so it was a warranty issue.  trans is a '71 used trans out of a st louis plant car.  8 3/4 rear has an open diff, so lord knows whether or not it had anything exciting in it.  i didn't bother to check ratio, but i'm assuming something dull like 2.76 or 3.23 with someone stealing the pumpkin.  the car would take a tremendous amount of work to put back on the street, so we're nonchalantly looking for a b-body shell and parts.  truthfully, a restoration of the body looked hopeless until recently with the emergence of repro sheetmetal--we own the marty robbins clone as well, and the two would become one.  now we're not so sure.  the floors and t-bar mount area are ok, the framerails are shot.  it's a real project, but i'd really like to see what could be done with it.


i would LOVE to know where to look for more information on this car!


i'm also looking for delivery/order # information on the car--who has the sheets for CDN cars?

The pictures of it mapleleaf mopars shows different color fenders.And original front end went to a T5 daytona

Yes, I should do that. I believe the Daytona was for sale at the time...$15,000. Which sounded preposturous! Now - I'd hock my grandmother to get it!

[pettybird]

yes, and anyone else hoarding pics/video of this car PLEASE step up. 


The car is a basket case that sadly got parted out twice in its life.  We never got the wing, nose, valance, or anything else.  the fenders you see are (poorly) modified, rusty '70 charger pieces, and we didn't even get the passenger side.  no road wheels, either.  funny that it has road wheels here--the guy we bought it from got it with spyders, which he kept...

and one change from my previous information--the car most likely came with 3.55 gears as it has a P/S cooler...
