1969 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona Hemi for sale. From the seller’s description:
Made
only with the purpose of dominating the super speedways in mind, Dodge
introduced the Charger Daytona in 1969. Only 503 cars were built to be
sold to the public, just enough to homologate for NASCAR. Of the 503
built for the street, only 70 came with the Legendary 426 HEMI engine.
This Charger Daytona is one of them.
Complete with documentation
all the way back to the first owner, this Charger Daytona is one of the
best documented on the market. It has passed through only six owners
before the current owner bought it in 2003. It was originally sold and
held by the first owner until 1971, when the second owner purchased the
car and stored it in a dry-climate barn until 1988. At that time it was
discovered and bought by the third owner, who set out to restore the car
to original condition. The car went through a thorough refreshing on
the mechanicals and exterior, as well as replacing the few worn interior
pieces. All body numbers were left intact and unaltered, as the car
needed little to no metal work due to it being stored properly in a dry
climate. After the restoration was completed, the owner set about taking
it to show. The car took 1st place in the 1988 Winged Warriors/Daytona
Superbird Auto Club meet in the restored stock Daytona Class, and it
repeated the honor through 1990. Numerous other top finishes at regional
shows in the Illinois area followed.
From 1990 through 2003, the
Charger Daytona changed hands three more times before being purchased
by the current owner. The car sits today just as it did after the
restoration in 1988, still retaining its original drivetrain and
majority of the original interior. The odometer shows just over 31,000
miles, which is believed to be original. The car is accompanied by the
original Build Sheet, as well as documentation that includes all
receipts from the restoration and registrations from previous owners.
Additionally it has been inspected and authenticated by Mopar expert
Dave Wise, who documented his findings in the report that comes with the
car.
Overall, this is a very honest, solid sheet-metal car with one repaint and excellent documentation.
