I saw the original in Duquion in the 90's. Was a cool piece for sure. New one looks better.  I've known Wally for 35+ years, this car is better in every way than the 1st one he built back in the early 90's. Car build quality on all cars has progressed in 30 years and this car is an example of that. This is a fill chassis car type build with a Charger Daytona skin on the outside. It's a far cry from the one he built back then which started with a original Charger chassis. The first one he built is somewhere out west, AZ or NM.

I love the Daytona.
BUT for me the ultimate Pro Street car is and always will be is,,,,,,, the Steve Lisk Challenger
Yeah I agree. Steve Lisk was so far ahead of his time that all other pro street cars end up being derivative. Some of the copies have nicer paint than Lisk or nicer chrome or more power or whatever, but the Lisk Challenger defined the category. There were some other cars of that era that were pretty cool. The Mustang II with the huge Gapp and Roush engine was cool. There was also a really well done Monza that was an early trend setter for Pro Street and there was a Hot Rod editor who had a Pro Street Vega with a 482 inch big block. Pro Street ment a lot more back in those days since it required some real resources to build a car. That was before Summit existed so no free shipping for Pro Street parts made in China. Then along came Dobbertin with the extremely ugly J2000 and that was the end of the show. Everyone since then has tried to be cool as Lisk without ending up as ugly as Dobbertin. A lot of cars end up looking more like the J2000 than the Challenger.

Thee very car that inspired my build. That Challenger was always my favorite. Even kept it old school with tunnel ram and dual Dominators with a hint of Nitrous as well.
