Pretty sure its the old John Arruzza daytona           http://www.arruzzahighperformance.com/Pic/years/BlackDaytona7.jpg

[Ghoste]

So for anyone looking to get a quarter million for their Daytona...

[maxwellwedge]

What's the deal with that car?

Real black?
Paperwork?
Auto/stick?
Original drivetrain and key Daytona parts?

[held1823]

if it's the car i think it is, it was originally  R4 / black / 440 / auto

[Ghoste]

So...  good price or bad?

So...  good price or bad?

[A383Wing]

Yea Stu...at least that one moves under it's own power...you would prolly paint it green though


oh, you don't have a dollar....nevermind

What it estimated for previously  http://www.autabuy.com/ViewPhoto/?I=/Photos/766526_3231407465140_Original.jpg&ShowAdSense=1&K=1969%20Dodge%20Charger%20Daytona%20Coupe

Sold price seems in line.
Didn't a white with red interior non matching Hemi Daytona sell for near 100K at auction last year?
And that car was a 4 speed. 

[maxwellwedge]

A real Hemi Daytona stick for 100k? Not thinking so....I would have jumped on that! A roller would be 2x+ that.

[DAY CLONA]

So...  good price or bad?

Far cry from what Arruzza wanted for it on EBAY with a $200K reserve before the ad was pulled

[Aero426]

A real XX29 Daytona with a Hemi built by a name guy, for Superbird money would seem to be a very good deal.    I'll bet there are some clone Daytonas with Hemis that were not all that much cheaper to build.    

I think the car is nice, but more of a show and shine grade car.  Remember it was on TV back in the 90's.      I don't think changing to a more attractive color and stripe hurts a great deal given the engine replacement, and if the car was originally one of the common colors (like R4).    

Personally, I have always liked the way this particular car looked.

The daytona was on american muscle car series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcPmHV1akp8&playnext=1&list=PLD596FF9CAB17FEC2&feature=results_video

Don't be so quick.  I heard he was cleaning out the couch cushions a second time just to be sure.

Sorry need to clarify , when I said non matching hemi car I meant it originally came with a 440.
It was talked about here, can't seem to find it. Think it was a Canadian car.

Thanks for posting that video link. It answered a question that has puzzled me for years. I always heard that the fender scoops were for tire clearance but pictures I have seen of the cars racing (and parked), it did not appear to me the tire was high enough up in the fenderwell to rub. Now I know the real story.

[remta1]

I would but it for that , although cheaper would be better

I don't think the world agrees on the "real" story yet! 

[Ghoste]

Nor likely ever will.
