There's a 70 Charger cloned into a daytona for sale that has all the hard work complete. It has a real 500 plug and working headlights. Google Lucas motors texas. It comes w/ a bunch of parts to complete the build. IMO he'd be miles ahead starting with that car then yours. I'm thinking about buying it myself.




Isn't he wanting $20K for this?




it sold here on Moparts for around 19k.

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Well, He stopped by today and said that he will just check that one off his "Bucket List"....He knew I really wanted to build the car this winter and also after adding everything up with labor and parts he decided to just let his dream go. If he could find a car that someone has given up on building but has most of the parts...and the price was fair, he'd probably go for it but as it stands right now he's not buying my car...

here's some info to pass on to your buddy although it is just my opinion. in 2001 i decided to build a ss hemi dart clone. at that time my friend todd really wanted a charger daytona but they were out of his spending range. as he watched me proceed over the next 6 yrs he found a 70 road runner and decided to do the superbird build. now i don't know how much he has in it but we go to alot of the same shows/cruises and he almost always scores an award and always has many people vewing/asking? about it where as my car is often overlooked except by diehard chrysler fans or drag racers, i'm talking like 2 to 1 liking his car over mine and my car is very correct looking. neither of us are trying to pass our cars off as anything but a clone although both of us get the "is that a real 1". his is even a post car so anyone that know those cars will know it is a clone. both cars have hemi motors but as stated people are drawn to his car. 1 of his best stories imo is a guy that owns a real bird asked him that he must have alot of money in it and why would he put that kind of $s in a clone, so todd's wife asked him where is your's at and he said stored away to which she replyed "exactly we drive and enjoy ours" so tell you buddy it may be a costly project but if he wants a car that is a magnet @ shows and cruises, go for it!!!!

Well, I gotta say, That IS one awesome looking car your buddy has. I like the black on black theme. Most you see are Orange or White but the black looks great!

Thanks for sharing!

While we're on this topic, just how close is the Vega hatch to an original window plug? Does anyone have pics showing the difference between the two?

post car, (coupe) rear windows are fixed and there is a "post" to the roof.
Hardtop all the windows roll down and there's nothing between them.
You can have 2 door and 4 door "hardtops"

The Vega plug is used as a low dollar approach to doing a Charger 500/Daytona, not a Superbird, if your looking for a low dollar approach to doing a Superbird rear plug, a 70-4 Cuda rear window lends itself to being a viable alternative, if you need pics, I have one of a Cuda rear window in a B body...
