Standing offer on the car was $1200. No word if it changed hands. Owner was looking for the title.

Side view. A pillar moldings were stashed to prevent theft.

Rear view.

And it's got a lone Cragar Mach 8 on the right front.

Danny, that Daytona is still wearing the same dark blue paint that it was wearing when it rolled through the Holiday Inn parking lot in Indy in 1984. When it comes to wing cars, it really is a small world!


Doug, way cool pictures! Is that a white Bird? It kind of looks to be in the same setting Bob and Sharon Malcom's white Bird was in when they found it. The kicker about their white Bird is that it was the same Bird they sold new through their dealership in Peebles, Ohio in 1970.

it appears to be a yellow bird from what all i can see of it.
by the way i haven't had a day off of work in 2 weeks now (other than sunday) so i haven't had a chance to go see the red on red daytona yet. the 2 days i've had off he wasn't home for me to go see it.

doug,wow those picks are great!

I was looking at some more of the pics that have been posted recently, and I remembered that I brought some pics of a Superbird back with me. I apologize for the quality. I don't have a scanner, so they're pics of pics. The story behind this car is that it was parked on the side of an FM road in central Texas. How it was not raped for parts is beyond me. 440-4, auto, console, buckets, 8-track(!). It was bought by a friend of mine in the early 90s to be restored. From there, I have no clue what happened to it. Enjoy the pics, I have eight for you.
