Posted below are some cars that were owned by Moparts member 69SESunroof's dad back in the day. Appararently Dan's (69SESunroof) dad owned quite a few Mopar aero cars. Interestingly enough, Dan's dad one day just up and sold off all the aero cars and moved off to Thailand to become a missionary where he remains to this day.

This first one is an ultra-rare Q5 Turquoise '69 Charger 500. Yes, that's a Daytona in the foreground too!


This next car is a T7 Copper '69 Charger Daytona.


This last car is a white '69 Hemi Daytona.


Anyone know where these cars are today?

Nicely done John thanks.

No prob Dave, I sharpened and brightened the pics up a little bit and it really helped em out a lot. I had to reduce the image size a good bit though as a couple of them were huge file sizes!

what became of the turquise 500, that got to be the only one! can u belive that these cars were unwanted at one time what a shame!

these cars always grab my attention. although ill admit im more likely to want or try to buy a superbird simply because its a plymouth. ive always prefered plymouths over dodges. what amazes me is the fact that people didnt want these cars. id love to learn more about these cars and their owners. if you own one, want one, or just have stories about people that do/did then tell me about them.

Have to clairfy here just a bit. The T7 daytona, and the white hemi daytona weren't owned by my father. He just went to look at both of them back in the early 80's when they were for sale. The T7 daytona was in South Dakota, and the white Hemi daytona was in colorado at the time. The Q5 charger 500 was bought here in Indianpolis for $800 in 1978. Car wasn't numbers matching as it had a 383 in it at the time of purchase. The Daytona in the foreground of the pic is R4 red, Red interior, buddy seat, auto on colomn, white stripe, 440 car, ps, pb, am 8 track car. It just happens to be the only pic with both those cars in it, and i'm desprately trying to track them both down now.

Also the Q5 charger, didn't have a facotry installed vinyl top. Actually the top i don't believe was vinyl, more of a cloth material.

Man... I just LOVE old pictures!... especially when they're of the coolest cars on the planet!!! I wish *I* could tell you where they were, John!

Dale

Dan, oooooooops, Wingcars6970 kinda forgot to tell me that part when he sent me the pics and told me to post em! In either case, they're still a cool group of cars. If you get some more pics scanned in, I'd be happy to host and post em for ya.

Dale, Wingcars6970 and I were just talking last night about the need for a complete and accurate database/registry and even an ownership history of all the winged cars. They are low enough in production numbers to where this is a do-able project. Doesn't just looking at cool old pics like this of these cars back in the day make you want to know more of the history of the lives some of these cars led?

Here are some pictures of a Charger 500 in Seguin, Texas that was for sale in about 1981. The asking price was $1800, and I tried to raise the funds to buy it. Because of the 5-6 cars I had already bought right before I found the Charger 500, I only had about $1200 raised by the time the guy planned to advertise it. A friend had been asking to buy it for resale, so I gave him the contact information for the seller...

Here are two pictures as I found it:





In 1986 I found the Charger 500 that I own now and bought it for $600 without an engine or transmission:





For one reason or another I have missed a LOT of neat cars, but at least I did not miss them all...

Allen

Allen, cool pics! So what does the Charger 500 that ya did end up with look like now? Any recent pics?

I am sorry to say it looks the same as the day I bought it, although I have an engine, 18 spline trans, and all the other parts needed to restore it.

Like many of my cars it has not had the priority that it deserves... I am finally near to starting on my 1968 Hemi Charger, and need to finish my 1970 Challenger Convertible and 1970 Hemi Cuda before taking any more of my cars apart!

Here is a fairly recent picture in the background in my workshop:

Well at least it's in good hands!

So - I'm thinkin' SOMEONE has TOO MANY projects, and maybe needs to SHARE some with the rest of us?? Nice collection, - Art

Great Pics OneBad, Thanks for posting.
Thank God for the internet,I have found more on this site about The Daytona & 500's,than I would have my entire life. Of course this really applies to all the Mopars I have seen here.

Nice pictures Allen and nice find in Seguin.I been in the 80- to Seguin to Johns ford mustang wrecking yard with mopars in it.But found no 500 just a 70 RT.A guy in houston TX Cliff Dukes got his 69 Hemi charger 500 from San Antione.It was silver hemi car.That got restored in B5 blue just like yours.And DB thanks for the archive pictures Im trying to checkout and keep track of your dad past cars .The red Daytona in case anyone sees it at a show or ebay is XX29L9B409045.Is that right number DB just checking

Chris, I agree with ya 100%! I've learned so much about so many cool cars here on Moparts that it is absolutely mind-boggling and hard to keep track of sometimes!

A BIG thanks to Tom for the BEST Mopar site on the web!
