i DONT WANT YOU TO BUY THIS CAR (( what a load of BS)

[nascarxx29]

I only know the Pa owner and the Pa restoration shop and sent him and them the bill of sale .And a retro for sale ad also in the Ed Ryan name.It was a retro custom from back in the day

I thought the funniest thing was that he says it has a Dana 60 rear end with the 3.55 gears. Should at least do a little homework. I mean since he did state that he would love to sit and stare at the car for hours, and it didn't take hours to notice multiple things that aren't "perfect" on the car. Looked the car over at Carlisle. Good looking car, is it the best Daytona out there? To answer bluntly HECK NO. Was it the nicest Daytona at Carlisle? Absolutely NOT.





the statements above are my sole opinion, and probably aren't everyone's opinion.

He probably just wants to get an idea of what he really could get for it in this market, and use eBay as an advertising tool, in case there are serious buyers looking.  There is no way he would get $699K, even it it were a 4-speed and mint.  Realistically, I'd say something in the $400-$500K range.     What's everyone else think?

   But it is what it is  A REAL HEMI DAYTONA.  Not many come up for sale, and how many are left 30? . If i hitt the lotto i will take it and use my 440 tona as a daily driver. Jay.

I work there!


The car is very nice.  There are some pretty silly things for a shop like Totally Auto to miss, but I'd imagine the number of ground-up wing car restos there has to be pretty low.  The owner (of both the car and the dealership) put the car up for sale more for its "halo effect" with the other cars in the showroom. 

ANYONE coming near Cleveland needs to stop by the place--it's sick.  Cute thing today--a guy brought in his 5 year old son, who had his newly purchased "bumblebee" Transformer toy.  I told him we had a bumblebee, too, and showed him a '69 Camaro.  I remembered that we had another, and blew his mind by showing him another.  We have five total '69 Camaros there. 

There are also a pair of 6 barrel '71 cudas, the yellow 'bird, five or six 66-67 hemi cars, a couple Yenko clones, etc etc etc.  It's pretty amazing.  The cars are all very attractive, if not 100% OE gold cert.  Trust me--you wouldn't turn any of them down. 

[pettybird]

He's not kidding about the Daytona he sold--he owned the former black cherry car, which is now V2 again.  He started the business after that car was sold--



oh, and it is off the rotator--I pulled it down for pics of the curious yellow shaker 'cuda...  It sits on a platform all by itself, though

sound like you got a great place to work dougy , are you liking what your doing ?

[69_500]

I wasn't aware that you worked there Doug. It wasn't but a few months ago he was advertising for a pretty nice 69 Charger R/T I think. If I knew you worked there I would have stopped in the last time I was in Cleveland, back in October.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

If anything that rotator thingy is pretty cool   makes it nice to take pics.  Looks like a cool place to work as well....

Are all those cars they have up for sale really there at the location or they on consignment of sorts?

[Magnumcharger]

OK...correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears to have a 1970 Charger trunklid, cut down and modified to 500/Daytona specs.
Is this chronologically possible???

[daytonalo]

I thought I read somewhere that the striker plate should be body color

[pettybird]

Danny I started this week...next time you're around, please let me know and we can get together.  Week one seemed to have gone OK--last thing the owner did before he left today was give me business cards, so I'll take that as a positive sign


the car wears a '70 hood and decklid.  the edge is also rolled over and not just bent down. 


the strikers should be body color.  if it was there, some retard at creative painted it, whether or not he was supposed to.

[daytonalo]

I PREFER MENTALLY CHALLENGED THANK YOU !!!

[Alaskan_TA]

Anyone know why / when the speedometer was replaced? (red tenths)

   good spot , must of looked at the pictures 20 times & never noticed that ........ odd though red tenths

[69_500]

Doug, did you have a chance to look at the front fender chrome trim? I wonder what happened to the origional tire trim for the front tires.


Side note, was Totally Auto not completely done with the restoration when it was on display at Carlisle? Because at Carlisle the fender tag still wasn't painted body color either, it was bare metal.

it's a clever solution, I guess--much better than the 'cut and use two pieces' method. 

I'm not sure how much of the car is original.  I don't know if there's a book showing resto stuff or not...  The fenders are PERFECTLY smooth inside, yet there are no holes for marker lights (aka 70 fenders.)  obviously the hood and deck are replacement. 

again, this is the boss's pride and joy, and I've barely gotten up the nerve to brush up against the damn thing.  he's thrilled that it's amazing to look at, and he's right.  It's a work of art more than a correct resto.  Totally Auto clearcoated EVERYTHING, so it'll look like this in 20 years, too.

I'm not sure I see  the problem is  with front wheelwell trim .

As far as I know the Daytona fender shouldn't have the marker holes filled in. According to papers I've seen they were ordered as fenders without the marker cut outs, that were sent to Creative to be used.

     I am pretty sure that on the 119 page document, Chrysler supplied the fender skin (w/o marker light holes) with only the rear vertical brace attached. The fender brace (above the wheel) and all the splash panels etc. at the front of the fender were attached by the "vendor". Sheet 8 of 119 (unless I am reading it wrong).

[daytonalo]

What is wrong with front wheelwell trim ??
