Daytona Charger Project in mind but….

[ChargingNemo]

I have a project idea for a Daytona charger and I was wondering which would be the best starter doner car, a ‘69 or ‘70 charger? Or something else even? I have a ‘69 charger already but it is a running and driving car (see pics) and am debating on obtaining another project instead of using the one I already have.

I believe the 70 is what you want to use. Fenders and hood for the nose. I could be wrong.

Start with a 70 Charger in good condition, then buy a pair of '70 Dodge Super Bee front fenders so that you can sell the good Charger fenders for big money.

Lots of fabrication in the road ahead if you make a car from a stock Charger. Be prepared for a big Panelbeater's bill or do the work yourself.

Actually, you would think the two fenders would be a straight swap if condition was equal.

So the front fenders are actually the same ones from a ‘70 super bee and not a charger?

I had to revisit some pictures... Plymouth Superbird needed Coronet or Super Bee front end fenders and hood.

 

[davek]

Yes, but for some reason I thought the daytona used the charger fenders.

I’m confused, which would I need? I’m getting answers for both lol. Am looking to build a Daytona not a Superbird.

Start with a '70 Charger for a Daytona. Keep the Charger front end.
You will need a nose kit and a rear window plug and glass plus the wing as a minimum.

Will this be the blown twin- hairdryer AWD New Hemi car or is this a 3rd one ??

Whatever you decide do not touch the yellow charger, it looks awesome already.

It is indeed the same one....my fellow Reddit reader; looking to do twin turbos into a supercharger setup. From the research I have done so far it looks like I will need the 5.7 hemi (which I assume is gen 3?) to do all that I want to since the big block does not seem to be compatible with the newer AWD transmission set up.

Well....I don't have a line on a 1970 charger project so I'd need to find one. Open to shares if anyone knows of one for sale.
