Many car enthusiasts hope to someday find an untouched barn find, to rescue a classic car and preserve it. We are proud to announce that this very opportunity will be part of the treasure presented here, which features not only an exactly-as-found vehicle, but one that is among the most visible and high-demand in today’s marketplace. This car is a 1969 Charger Daytona showing telltale signs of decades of storage and mild paint changes, but complete with numbers-matched driveline and many original pieces. The unique history of the car is that the first purchaser was a local judge who bought it for his wife. It was only recently purchased from only its second owner in rural Alabama, who had owned it since 1974. As built, the car was painted R4 Charger Red with white tail graphics; it retains its original wing, front fender bubbles, wide windshield edge trim, and nose cone. At one point, light scallop edge door paint and flames were added to this car’s surface, all which now show a historic patina. The car’s actual mileage is believed to be the 20,553 now seen on the odometer. The Dodge 440 Magnum engine, which was only offered in the Daytona and R/T versions of the 1969 Charger, is original to the car, complete with many never-replaced peripherals. Behind this is a 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic and 8 ¾ differential. Again, none of this has been altered since the car was retrieved. What makes this Daytona especially appealing are its interior options, which include headrest-equipped bucket seats, factory-chromed floor shifter in a center console, dash cluster with clock/tach assembly and more. Door-mount stereo speakers were added to the factory radio at one point, and the interior has been stabilized but remains as found. To homologate the Daytona body for NASCAR, Dodge was required to build 500 units; they built just 503 of these cars. The story of its discovery was recently relayed in the pages of “Mopar Muscle” magazine, and you will have the possibility to take ownership of this true time capsule, either to preserve in legacy or restore to like-new condition.
