This one owner 1984 Dodge Daytona Turbo has 5,169 original miles and is one of the best examples known to exist. It’s been pampered its entire life by an obsessive compulsive individual. Tons of original documentation and extras are included. A list of everything included is listed below. The Dodge Daytona is an automobile which was produced by the Chrysler Corporation under the Dodge division from 1984 to 1993.
This car was ordered on June 28th, 1983 from Hallmark Dodge located in Overland Park, KS. It was ordered a Blue Gunmetal Pearl Coat exterior and a Black interior. The optional equipment included a radio-AM/FM stereo w/ cassette, premium speaker system and tilt steering column. The original order guide, hand written notes and dealership order form are included. The car was delivered and inspected by the dealership on September 21, 1983. The original Chrysler Corporation New Vehicle Preparation sheet is included. The car was retailed on September 23rd, 1983. All the original dealership paperwork and owner’s manuals are included. This was the owner’s first new car which he cherished. In fact, his house was specially designed and built to safely store the Daytona in a climate-controlled environment. He did change a few things so it would look like the ones shown in the early magazine articles in 1981-1982. He removed the large “Turbo” decals that were on the door and added the “Turbo Electronic Fuel Injection” decals that the early prototypes had. He drove it on a couple of short trips and put it away for the winter in 1983 and then drove it only a few times in 1984. He never wanted anyone to damage his first new car so he quit driving it. It was stored on jack stands so the suspension wouldn’t settle and the tires wouldn’t develop flat spots. Since it was being stored he installed a Direct Connection high volume oil pump so it would always have plenty of oil quickly when started. The original oil pan was replaced with a factory chrome one. An extra used oil pan is included as the original one was misplaced. He also installed a new 1-2 synchronizer assembly for smoother shifting. During the time the car was stored he would regularly start it and run in on the jack stands so everything would move. He mainly used it for 20 years as a backdrop to show how his kids were growing.
