Wild Custom 69 Hemi Daytona, where is it now?

[69F8C500]

This is a 69 Daytona, and it's heavily customized. This picture was taken at the show-me mopar show in Columbia MO sometime in the 90s. Does anyone know where the car is now?

The first one, a little bigger

The Richard Head Auto Auction  off ZZ   , Dealer installed Vinyl Top ?

[Redbird]

It could be a 440 car with a engine swap, door nameplates, and a owner applied vinyl top too. Or even a 500 conversion.

Given the time frame a lot is possible.

at least you can see the ribs on the hood in the bigger photo, so it appears no daytona hood was sacrificed.

i'm not even an o.e. purist and that thought made me cringe, lol

Believe owner Jeff Phillips Kirkersville MO

When we owned it in 1977.     Bought with a bullet hole in the drivers door out of the Detroit area.    The black top is paint.    This is what $1100 bought you back then.   The nose was the best part of the car.   It was in good shape.   The rest was a real pile.    Today, it would be considered a normal resto project.

Jeff Phillips did that restoration and turned it into a nice car.   It was in Autobuff magazine.

I wonder if I got that AutoBuff Mag? I used to buy them all the time & got a box of them somewhere? I liked that Mag because they always had Hot Babes pictured with the Cars. a Great Concept that should still be done today? LEON.

Is it still in that condition, or has it been restored back to its original engine, trans, and color?

As far as I know, it is still configured that way.   I don't think it has been returned to the original silver color.

Thanks, I've been looking through some of my dads old pictures from car shows. There are a couple more Daytonas he photographed that I'd like to know what happened to them. Unsure to start another topic on them though.
