Hi all!
Glad to be here, I'm on forcbodiesonly.com as well. I'd been looking for a mid-70's Fury in B or C, but today saw and leapt upon a '76 Charger Daytona. Just bought it about an hour ago.
So, I'm looking forward to digging in here and finding info on it. I'm a Mopar guy, owned a '69 Coronet for years, up until a couple years ago. Been looking to get back into a vintage Mopar, and while the '69-era cars are now too far over my budget, the mid-70s cars definitely caught my eye. Was really looking for a '74-'77 Fury, but they proved difficult to find in my price range (cheap!). Cordobas were last on the list, but Magnums started looking pretty good, and then this Charger popped up in my town earlier today for cheap.
So I jumped! Don't even have a parking spot yet, but I'm working on it.
360 car, kid who owned it had done a lot of work and the motor is no longer stock; headers, carb, he put a cam in it and while he was in there did timing chain and water pump. Don't know cam specs yet. Newer transmission. Super excited! Looking to shine her up and do a mild period-correct street build. Just wheels/tires and a few other things.

Anyone know if I can fit 10" rims under the back of this thing? I've been searching the forums here but no joy yet.
