I would guess that to tool up to do something today, sales prices would be way more than $ 250.

The market today seems to be ruled by the flat panel LED backlit frames. That would be the competition and they cost very little to make and sell.

The embossed RTS sign that I have is one of my favorite car items, from a time before I found original period pieces.

I don't know how many people would really buy the embossed signs with the flat panel LED's at a much lower price point.

$395k for a white 63 split…not even a tanker. $1,000,000 for a Judge vert in coral yellow…….1 million.

IF...you decide to make another run.
Im in for one..maybe both.

The 1970 Ram Air IV GTO Judge Vert, if it is restored correctly, looks to be a great car. I can think of other things I'd do with $ 1.1, but for someone with money nice something to have.

Hemi Superbirds at $517 to $ 742. Kind of back to earth. Lemon Twist Hemi Superbird at $ 517, I can think of lots of things I'd rather have.

The Big Willie Daytona at $ 247.5, reinforces what a bad move it was to restore it that way IMHO.

Haven't watched that episode yet, but I'm thinking that's the "David Spade Daytona".
Wellborn may have owned it at one time, IIRC, and I may have seen it long ago in SoCal if Otis Chandler (LA Times) also owned it.
That would be Small World Syndrome, but it's happened before...

yes it’s that car. Said to be the lowest mileage original Daytona known to exist.

RI Deep in the rust belt
When I bought my first Charger in 1980 nobody wanted these cars,and often people gave me sh*t for wasting my time and money on those old Dodges! Wingcars were always just out of reach of my budget! Now they are out of reach of evryones budget! lol! I tried to get a loan to buy an orange 440 4 speed Superbird from a local body shop/used car dealership,and the loan officer from the bank looked at the car and denied my loan application,saying that old Plymouth isn't nor ever will be worth $4000,00! I hope he was watching last night and choked to death on a cocktail wiener! It's great for the hobby that they turned out to be collectible.and desirable,but sometimes I really miss the days when I used to buy running driving second generation Chargers for $75.00!

I saw it at Chandler's place in about 1990. So before that.

Restored by local friend. Was at Spring Fling in 1998 or so. He sold it for well under $100K.

The Chandler/Wellborn/Spade Daytona was definitely tan interior.
I saw the car at a car show when I had my white '68 RR: that would have been in the 1984-85 time frame IIRC.
I think IIRC that it was a 6,000-ish mile car, restored, and I crawled under it and likely took photos.
The restoration work was pretty amazing, and ahead of its time with inspection marks & such.
Chandler had another Hemi car - yellow Cuda convertible, white interior - and that may have been later, saw it at a different show.
He was just cruising it around like it wasn't anything special, just another nice car...

So THIS is the same Daytona then? (I took a few photos of it at the York, PA. NEHOA show around 1982-3. Here's another photo of it.

yes, here's another pic I found online of it boogie AMAZING that it's been "done" ~40 years.
