1977 - I was 9yo living in Minot ND - There was a Petty blue Daytona that lived across the street from my buddys house. That car also had the holy sh** kicked out of it...and so did the owners.. I think it had "HEMI" emblems on the doors. I remember a for sale sign popping up in the 1/4 window with $2500 written on it.

1980/81 - I was 12 yo living in Spokane WA. I remember seeing a yellow Superbird parked on top of a freshly plowed snow bank. Car actually looked pretty nice.

I have no idea why I remember crap like this... but I do...

Can't believe the car made it to 1974 in Hardin!! Lol
We used to drag some FINE muscle cars out of Browning and the Blackfeet reservation.

Kudos Mike for posting these pix before same as seen in the Hot Rod September 2015 Roddin'@ Random article "How Chrysler Wind-Tunnel Test the Dodge Daytona in 3/8 Scale"

Somebody said this car was rejected when it auditioned for Joe Dirt movie.
Was "too nice" for the role.

Anyone have pics or info on the Daytona in Joe Dirt movie ?

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

Garage/Barn find in Texas around 2010 or 2011.
Hemi 4speed with original drivetrain.

Yellow car, shows some purple on cowl like it might have went plum crazy once, then a full respray with a shabby gold color.
Not sure if I have ever even seen a yellow Superbird before .

I almost got real serious about a White Superbird with White interior (and a White vinyl top) in '85 or '86 . Was a bench seat column shift auto with 440 6 pack.
$8500
damn me , couldn't go for an automatic at that price ...

I remember when these Retro-Mods were being done ,,, but have never seen one of them anywhere since.

Think they have grown on me enough finally that i might could do the Blue one.

Moon Man had a Wing

That was a cool slot car Mike.

It is in a museum (a good one, at that, pm me and I'll send you a link to my onedrive account with some pics). Built from a charger and made to look rusty, great story. From what I understand it was purchased from the film company quite reasonably. Supposed to have NOS or actual nose and wing.

From the "InterWebz"

"The tale goes that the owner of the car pictured was a huge Superbird fan who,
for unspecified reasons, needed a wheel chair to get around."

I say - Note the TEXAS license tags show "May 1981" for the time frame.

I linked it to a new thread I started.
