69 Dodge Charger Daytona - 440 Magnum

Here is a crown jewel of any collection: A restored, clean, numbers matching, all original sheetmetal 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. A product of the 1960's, the Daytona stands head and shoulders up on nearly every other car built in its time in stature, looks and desirability. “Blue chip” fails to account for the Daytona: This is a rock star wrapped in a spaceship—it's a superstar wherever it goes. And just in case you didn’t blink your eyes last month, you may have seen our newly restored R6 4 speed Daytona, which sold in three weeks for $259,000.00: More proof that top notch cars are being quietly and quickly snatched up, while the junk can’t find a new home at any price.

Outside you’ll find V2 Hemi Orange Poly in its correct shade, laid down expertly and rubbed out to a glass smooth finish. Like many other Chrysler colors, there’s a luminescent quality thanks to very fine gold metal flake throughout, and it’s dazzling. Inferior paint jobs and older restorations are more often dull and without the gold glow, and the difference is amazing. The stainless trim (including the 500/Daytona specific A pillar and rear window moldings) are polished to a better-than-new shine. The white stripe on the tail, and the correct, original road wheels and Goodyear reproduction F70x14 redlines give the car a very classy, sleek and unified look.

The interior of this 69 Daytona has a nice mix of new reproduction and original parts. New Legendary seat covers on the rebuilt seats, a new headliner and new carpeting augment the original, un-cracked dash pad and excellent original door pads and panels. New sill plates add shine along with new door handles and re-chromed armrest bases. The original center console shifter wears a new (and correct for Daytonas) fluted shift knob, the gauges were refaced with parts from Performance Car Graphics while new BE/A dash bezels run from one end to the other. We added a very cool restored wood grain sport steering wheel as a finishing touch. All switches and buttons work as they should, and the car's a pleasure to drive with the smooth, light power steering and reassuring brakes working with the high torque mill up front.

Price on this 1969 Dodge Daytona $199,900
