Daytona in B7

[crv]

The Daytona was the first car I lusted after that I knew I would never own. The '68 Charger is still my favorite car ever designed although the '67 Crown Coupe is gaining on it daily.

Definitely the best design from the '60s, the '68 Charger, no other muscle car comes close.

B7 to B5.

Daves 71 doesn't fit in as it is GB7 a different colour than the earlier (E)B5 used in 1969&1970.

But the Daytona seems to be Pretty dark. Pic was taken with clouded sky though.
F70-14 white walls may be correct otherwise it would be F70-14 redlines but only the broadcastsheet will tell.

That is sweet! out of a 500 track car too. Super cool!

No, it was a 1970 383 Charger 500 but the wing, opened up and rounded off fenders, hood, and nose, came off a Winston west car that was hit by Jack Mx Coy,s Hilton Charger. Bach flush window from Ted Jamak out of Texas.

super cool to do that. I've wanted to build a clone for years. perhaps some day...

I have not seen many of the real desirable mopars in person. The exception would be winged cars. For whatever reason there was several around here 20 years ago. All sweet. A very good friend of mine that grew up here told me about a Daytona on a car lot in the 80's it had a crunched drivers door and was $1500. He had the cash from his farm job. But his Dad made it clear that that no stupid *** dodge with a stupid *** wing would ever be parked at the family home for all to see.
He was an old school Studebaker man.

Here is one I ran across last summer...

I'm sure it's B7 but the lighting makes it look more like B9.

Back in the day, around '79, Sammie and I could have bought an orange and white one. We couldn't come up with the $1900 to save our butts.

Bench seat, 383 4bbl. Pistol grip. Damn...

It had a 383 in it?

You would have not been able to get a bench seat in a Daytona Charger...or a 383...or a pistol grip. More likely a Superbird with a 383 in place of a 440/Hemi.

Obviously.

Sorry, but that's what it was. He could've blew up the 440 and put in a 383. Don't forget, it was 10 years old at that time and they were just regular cars back then so who cared. It definitely had a pistol grip and bench seat.
