1969 Dodge Charger Daytona

Full rotisserie restored NASCAR legend

To make up for the previous Charger 500 shortcomings on the racetracks Dodge went back to the drawing board and in return they created the Charger Daytona. Created to be a high performance limited production vehicle it had several changes made in order to be as competitive at possible. Straight away onlookers notice the twenty-three inch tall rear spoiler and front sheet metal nose cone. With its appearance being a mixed bag of opinions amongst the public no one could argue about the vehicles performance. Being the first car to top 200mph on the nascar ovals it was a serious competitor and as a result took home clear cut victories. Only 543 Charger Daytona's would be produced, just enough to satisfy NASCAR's limit of 500 production cars. Also making the Daytona far more rare than it's Plymouth cousin, the 1970 Superbird.

Here with us today is a sterling example of a full nut and bolt rotisserie restored 1969 Charger Daytona. Painted in the correct Alpine white exterior with black vinyl roof, if you open the hood of this Daytona you will find a numbers matching 440ci 4-barrel V8 linked to a heavy duty four-speed manual transmission. Other options to be found on the vehicle include but are not limited to; power front disc brakes, black vinyl bucket seats, console and the previously mentioned 4 speed transmission coupled with the A33 code Track Pak which consisted of a 3.54 Dana Posi rear axle, and a high performance radiator for improved cooling. Included with this car is a complete photo diary of the restoration along with an original issue of "Muscle Car Review" which featured the car, fender tag decoding and original Charger Daytona advertisement literature.

When new the majority of the public was at odds with the Daytona and its styling to the extent that many sat on dealer lots of years after its release with some even being converted back to standard Chargers. Thanks to this initial lack of interest, limited production run, incredible performance pedigree and uniqueness that make Daytona's a very rare and sought after classic American icon.
