I saw it listed for sale on Mopar Center. Here is the link: 1970 Dodge Charger Daytona Tribute

190k!!! Outrageous!

 

[WileE]

From the article : "It's even been restored underneath!" Well... who'da thunk ?

Too much $$ I would think

You could get a real Bird for close to that and have something to be proud of

Looks nice but purple is a 1970 colour if you think about it looks a little odd on a 69 if that is what you are trying to duplicate

It's listed as a 1970. Sort of like the one that chargervert is doing. 70 Charger R/T SE Daytona sunroof project is starting soon.

It better be for $190,000!

Just noticed the VIN
They used an XH car
The lowest value of a starting 1970 Charger XH XP XS

The description leaves a lot out on the details
Are all the conversion parts from a real car or all fiberglass stuff ?
What is the back window plug ? Vega with real glass window ? Fiberglass plug and plexiglass window ??

Looking at the interior they left it pretty much XH stock
Column shift
The upper door covers are just metal covers and not padded like the better cars

Think for $190 K that stuff would have been up graded also

Not for me.

Most everything at that dealer is so expensive. And yes, you could probably get a true Superbird for that price, but not a Daytona.

They have a Daytona - real HEMI auto for $2.2M if 190K is too cheap.

I like it. I would love to own a wing car someday. However, it is not worth that much money to me.

Build your own out of that 70 Charger SE you have.

Just sit down and figure out the numbers here..... if you start with a Charger from CL or Fleabay...you're up for 30K before you start...a proper 426 HEMI engine and trans/4-speed add another 40K....then body work, interior, paint, labour....adds up fast.

Especially if they started with some turd like this ....

or this....

I think I saw that car years ago in a auto museum in town called Hays, Kansas. Guy had a lot of cars in there, also had a convertible Cuda that had Fireball painted on it that was a George Barris car. The sign at the museum said it was the only 70 Daytona made. Looks like the same car.

I started to. I modified a decklid off of an OEM as a template. I have the under quarter trunk to wing support brackets, a Vega rear hatch assembly and a few other Daytona specific pieces gathered up for it so far.
