I remember when those, and the Daytona chargers were brand new. They sat on dealers lots for up to a year unsold. They sold many of them way under the sticker price just to move them off the lots.
I partnered with a guy back then on a dirt track 61 bubble top Catalina stock car. Although he liked Pontiacs, he also liked mopars. He owned 2 of the Daytona chargers in succession, while we were partners on the dirt car. (about 2-3 years before the partnership dissolved). I know he bought both of those cars really cheap at the time. If someone had a crystal ball, and could see how much they appreciated in a couple decades we would have bought every one we could have. There was one late model driver that had a brand new one that his sponsor (chrysler dealer) donated for a dirt track stock car. The wing didn't make the whole season before it got removed due to short track racing being a contact sport. After about 8 weeks, the wing was absent for the rest of the season. They removed the aero nose before the car ever saw the race track. There was another racer that ran a B body mopar in late model, that made his own replica wing out of lumber.......... That didn't stay on for maybe 2 weeks. It was really cheesy looking while it was on the car. On a short track there didn't seem to be any aero advantage for the two guys that tried them. |

I started at a C/P dealer in 1975 and the guys there told me that a Superbird sat in the back garage for 14months. Dealer traded to just get rid of it.
