Sorry there auto.I wasnt sure that why I believed it might been his .I see now he knows the owner.Picture of another hemi dayona

I remember seeing the Joe Gerdelsmann car several times at Englishtown and flipping out over what a cool ride it is.

Mal, it's kind of hard to put a value on 500's and Daytonas nowadays. It seems that they can vary pretty widely in price. Charger 500's are especially tough to price out. You see pretty nice ones advertised for around $30,000 but they seem to stay for sale for a long time. As cool and as unique as the 500's are, they are, unfortunately, the red-headed stepchild of Chargers. Everyone either wants an R/T or a Daytona. The 500's have some extremely unique features and an awesome pedigree but it seems that there aren't a lot of takers for them.

The Daytonas are also kind of tough to price. It seems that a really nice 440 Daytona will set you back around $80,000-$90,000. I called on a Daytona just tonight that is owned by a fellow near OzHemi in California who ALMOST beat me to the punch on the Aussie Daytona. It's an original orange car that was painted silver many years ago and has a molded nose and fender scoops and is a matching numbers 51,000 mile car. He's asking $65,000 for it. I also know of another Daytona that is in pretty rough condition that may be able to be bought for somewhere between $30,000-$40,000. Before anyone EVEN asks me the whereabouts of that car, I already promised first shot at it to a fellow Moparts member and long-time friend here local.

I don't know if any of this helps or not but that's basically what I figure the 500 and Daytona market is like right now. Some other input and hearing what others think would be cool.

Thats a good find John a silver daytona .fill us in later with a post about it.After its bought

Dave, the silver Daytona seems like a pretty cool car. It has a white tail which probably looks pretty unusual on a silver car. It's a black interior and still has it's original build sheet which is unusual for a black interior car. It was in Ohio many years ago and has changed hands several times out west and was in New Mexico for a time before ending up back in California. If anyone out here is interested, the seller's name is Dave and he is about five minutes away from OzHemi near Garden Grove, California. His number is 714-742-2832. Price is said to be firm at $65,000. It'd be nice to see someone here on the board end up with it.

The silver car that was origionally painted EV2 orange and from Ohio huh. That car was on Ebay about 9 months ago, believe the selling price then was $55,000. I was watching the price of that car pretty closely because i was wanting to know what an non origional color, car would go for. Especially since it didn't get changed from a non popular color to one that is. Like some of the bronze chargers get painted black/orange or other more supposedly appealing colors.

Doug did you guys get the petty blue bird off of a guy named Art Morris? I remember him having 2 petty blue birds over the years. then again 1979 i was still in diapers so i don't think i'd remember that car as being his, just thought id ask.

Last but not least, WingCars is that the same Black Hemi daytona that i told you I have some pics of? That was down in Alabama in 81?

Thanks John....I always thought the 500's looked kind of cool....very tuff...like a Talladega, or Spoiler 11..

Danny, the seller of the Daytona told me that he bought the car "about six months ago" so that sure sounds like the same car. He's got a lot of cars and is known to resell them so it makes sense that if he actually did get it for $55,000 that he's reselling it for $65,000.

Mal, do I see a Charger 500 leaving L.A. and heading for OzLand???

Danny that black daytona happens to show no fender tag in the under hood picture.The owner in the 77 time period was ed Mohler Corana CA. And around 78 79 Don Hicks had a similar car ??The silver daytona from NM had something up with it not sure .But maybe not a credible vin or something I heard about.And Dave P had bought cars from A Morris .Did you ever see the hurting daytonas on back pages of mopar muscle.In the PCG advertisements those were some of them

Another One.

Ok, he's a photo from many years ago, 1978?? Upstate NY.

The car belongs to Mike Russo, and that's my buddy Rick. Mike let Rick drive, who took it for a FAST ride. "At 98, you back off the pedal for a moment, then floor it, all 8 barrles kick in"
