Often called the best in NASCAR history, the Dodge Charger Daytona
model, with its distinctive high rear wing and extended nose, was
created specifically to meet the stock car series' homologation
requirement of the day. The car's radical nose reduced drag to
0.28-- impressive even 50 years later--and provided a real
advantage at speed. This was the first NASCAR entry to crack the
200 mph barrier, and together with its twin, the Plymouth
Superbird, racked up ten NASCAR victories over just two racing
seasons. That advantage came to a quick end when the design was
banned by the sanctioning body at the conclusion of the second
season. The 1969 Dodge Daytona offered here in Charger red over
tufted black vinyl, is powered by its original matching-numbers 440
cubic inch Magnum engine with a 4-barrel carburetor, and backed by
its original console-shifted automatic transmission. The entire
automobile, including its engine and transmission, has been fully
and faithfully restored to museum quality. The results are evident
in the more than 210 photographs available on the GarageKeptMotors
website, where there's also a short walk-around-and-startup video
as well. The engine note is muscle-car music to the ear! Every
aspect of the car shows beautifully. Chrome, paint, interior
surfaces (including the wood veneer dash and center-console trim),
gauges (including the conservative 150 mph speedometer), emblems,
stickers, data tags, undercarriage, and engine bay (including hoses
and componentry, all in the proper finishes). No expense was spared
in the renovation work. Even the Good Year Eagle racing tires and
NASCAR wheels are correct for the model, with a second standard
road set also included in the sale. Also part of the sale are the
car's original build sheet and its window sticker showing a
$4,730.65 out-the-door list price (including a $5.40 upcharge for
the 3-speed windshield wipe option). Thank you for looking.
