the best color combo EVER

my completely unbiased opinion, of course

I remember this car from back in the day. Back in the 1980-82 time frame I drove my Daytona to Cedar Rapids to meet correct me if I'm wrong Frank Patik. Dave's dad. Had set up a time to drive down and meet him and see their car. Only saw Dave long enough to be introduced to him as he was on his way somewhere. I met Frank at his house in Cedar Rapids not at the place in the country where they had the rest of their cars. We spent quite a while looking each others car over and discussing them. Got the standard back in the day price of 10K when I asked the question. The trip wasn't really about looking for or buying cars though. More about meeting a fellow owner and comparing and discussing our cars. Always wondered what happened to the car. It was a nice unrestored driver quality car at the time as I remember it.

Thanks for posting.

yesterday the car was advertised as having a fiberglass nose. i sent an inquiry about it. today i see it has a steel nose. only thing better would be, a white interior......

Stuart,
You have got me there! Right now I'm inclined to paint it panther pink with white gut and stripe!
On another note when Dennis Fortin had the car he replied to one of my for sale ads.
When he found out we also had a B5 blue Daytona with white stripe and B7 interior we became
great friends! I supplied Dennis with almost all the correct date code side glass that's in the
Daytona now! The original glass had scratches and marks from it's past!
We met dennis in 2001 at the Michigan Auburn Hills meet and the Daytona was restored then!

John, before you paint the car pink, you could always just send it my way instead. Who am I kidding I couldn't get that one either.

I not the only one who really wants that factory B5/B5 Superbird, eh?

I think I see a trend of Blue being the next Green.  Then all you guys with Blue cars will feel like me and my Greenie. cant happen fast enough.....I was Green before Green was cool. 

pardon the crop...pop isnt good with a camera. from 1986 two days after getting "my" car home and washing about three years worth of crud off it.

I love my B5 Bird!

green does have potential, sort of like morning wood.

blue, however, is like basking in the afterglow, trying to catch your breath and wondering if your legs still work.
