I just bought this '69 Charger Daytona, a car that has been on my "dream car" list since I was a little kid. I grew up in a Mopar (and occasionally Ford) family, and on every Mopar fans dream list is a "wing car" (Superbird or Daytona) and a real Hemi car. This car is something I plan to keep for the long haul. It is sort of a celebrity in the wing-car community. There were 503 Charger Daytonas made (compared to almost 2000 Superbirds), and only 3 were made in this Q5 turquoise color. It has been featured in many magazines, and is a previous winner at the Mopar Nationals. Ertl used my car to model their limited-edition Turquoise Daytona model after, even using a modified copy of the original window sticker from my car to include with their model. Needless to say, I am pretty excited. Took it for a spin after it came in tonight- so quiet compared to all of my modified cars. I can't wait to get it up to speed (once I slip on some different wheels), and feel the effects of the aero package, compared to my two other regular Chargers.

WOW, one of my favorites as well.....that car was the pinnacle, Congrats! You might have noticed the RT in my Avatar, that pic was taken in our driveway in 1968. Many memories cruising Colorado Blvd in the late 60's looking for Chevelle's, GTO's, 442's, Roadrunners etc.
 
Great addition to the family. Heck, I'm proud for you. Congrats!

that is awesome!
 
There was a guy in my nieghborhood that had two...................and yours looks like one of them. I haven't seen them for about a year. I say this as I haven't seen many in that color combo, let alone with the hubcaps you have.





..................and WOW!!!! Nice garage!! Fantastic size. Very jealous.
 
The car looks great in that color combo. You really need to clean up that garage.
 
Congrats - one of my dream cars also.
 
What a beauty. You made the right choice.

What a coincidence- YES, you are absolutely correct. The Daytona did live in the Huntington Beach area for a while. I believe the owner was Dave Mikkelson, or something like that. Also, thanks for the compliment on the garage.
 
Thanks for the kind words, everybody.
 
Wow that is awesome!
Sure would love to see some up close photos of the car if you feel so inclined!
 
congrats!
 
That is stunning! That is the nice thing about cars compared to wives, you can cheat on your other cars but not a good idea with the wife. Unless you want her to end up with your cars!

Thanks! I hope you will post up some photos of your Galaxie when you get it! That's a sweet car. With the Daytona, I was pretty pleased with the whole transaction with RK. Hope yours goes as smoothly.
