69 Daytona Restoration

Hi Guys,

I recently completed this 69 Daytona and Hot Rod just did a really cool article on it and its great back story. Please check it out.

You can also see pics of it on my new website www.manciniresto.com

Thanks

AWESOME job Mike and great story! Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that is some website!

Thanks for the link, the daytona story is very interesting and the quality of the restoration is stunning.

Very cool!! I just say a pic of it in the JY on abodiesonly. You bought the blue one also? What happened to that one? A blue Daytona must be rare?
My friend John had a green one, now has a Y2 yellow one.

The man that bought both cars from the salvage yard wasn't me. I just restored the red one. But..yes he did buy two daytonas from the same yard. Very cool.

Nice job on the car and the website Mike!

Daytona looks beautiful! Glad to see it restored this way without all the overspray in the engine compartment.

Very nice Mike,

Your web site is awesome

Agreed, although not technically correct for the OEM Gold crowd, I'd rather see the vehicle taken to the next level like this, as I view the icons like this vehicle of automotive history as rolling art, and the more you can do to improve their appearance to please the eye, all the much better!, I remember seeing this car in Mike's shop during a visit, it's come a long way, awesome work by Mancini and crew as expected

Mike,from the pictures I have seen,back when those Daytona's were found in the junkyard,there was also a 69 Hemi Charger 500,and a sunroof 69 Charger in the same photos. That was four of the rarest 69 Chargers ever built right in the same yard! Great work as usual on the Daytona restoration! Your shop should be the one on television!

thanks for sharing

Wow! What a story and an awesome restoration! Great Job!

Very NICE Mike !!!

Does the gent who bought the two cars still own the blue one?

Wow, and there was a '69 Hemi Charger 500 there too? Lordy...

Cheers,

Mike

Great job on the restoration! fantastic ad and website...

The Hemi 500 that was there was ruined in a fire but I was also told it has been rebodied now too. The B5 Daytona is still owned by John. Won OE gold at Mopar Nationals a few years back

You know, I REALLY appreciate all the kind words written here. My crew and I are dedicated to providing the best job we can possibly muster and it feels really good to receive positive feedback. THANK YOU!!!

Mike

Great Daytona Mike! Your attention to details & correctness is great to see. Learned a few more things on them talking to you at the MCACN Show. Thank you.
I recently bought a 21,000 miles garage find B5 Daytona stored for over 40 some years in Phoenix. 4spd, white interior, black wing. A fascinating find! Original paint & rust free!
It will be at the 18 MCACN show. Very cool! 😎

Nice restoration and attention to detail.Bob

UPDATE: We just learned that we made the COVER of HOT ROD with the Daytona restoration.

Wow I got to go buy that!!!

Wow Mike, it looks great! And to think my pals and I passed that Daytona many, many times while we were hanging out at Avenue buying 69 Barracuda parts. It brings back great memories reading the Hot Rod article. Thank you. Tom Hand

Wow. Impressive.
