1969 Daytona Charger.
Here are those pictures I was telling you about. This Daytona was REALLY a clean car but was stripped of it's interior, eng, trans, wing, nose, hood, doors and fenders. Was a rolling body when I got it. It's been fully restored now by a guy here in town and it looks BEAUTIFUL!!!
Oh, there is a long story behind that one. I think the way it goes it like this... It was stolen back in the 70's and stripped and ended up in a local junk yard. It sat there in plain view for years while all of the other cars were being picked away at. Then a farmer in the area decided to get it and put it in the barn. It sat there for many years until a couple of guys in the area finally talked him into selling it. That's when those picts were taken. The car didn't have a title and there was stories starting to go around that the original owner was going to claim it somehow and it went up for sale again. That's when I got it. The last picture is it on my trailer. I had it a few years and was collecting parts for it when one day a local guy stops by to see a different car I had for sale and the subject of the Daytona came up. He wanted to see it so I took him over to where I had it stored. He worked me hard and talked me into letting him have it. He did all the work to get a clear title for it and did a nice job restoring it too. It is show quality now.
Thanks,
