Hey John you reminded of something when you said Jennings 500.I recalled Danny J had a daytona lost in a fire .I got ad here he ran looking for another daytona in my attachment.And the ad Pete Haldiman ran selling red vinyl roof hemi 69 charger 500.Before Dewayne liebrandt Danny L dad had it

Where is the REAL Sox and Martin Bird located ?? Also, a TRUE SAD story - a complete yellow Bird (minus wing) was crushed in a Houston, Tex. wrecking yard less than a year ago - its true, my friend has the wing, guy at the yard said it took him tooooo long to pull the wing so he crushed it - made the comment the "the nose had a dent in it and the motor was still in it" - my friend saw what was left in the stack of crushed cars - SAD BUT TRUE - Reed in Ne.

I wonder what it's like to throw that kind of coin out.That poor fellow must not have known,or didn't like mopars.

Jeff

ONEBADSUPERBIRD I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU HAD ANY PIC'S OF YOUR DAYTONA BEFORE YOU GOT IT. IVE BEEN ENJOYING THIS THREAD FOR A FEW DAY'S NOW THANK'S ALL FOR THE COOL PIC'S AND IMFO

Dave, that was a COOL collection of old ads!!! It's amazing to go back in time with old ads.

Reed, ONE of the TWO original S&M Birds went to a guy who owned a dragstrip in Louisiana. He wrecked the car on his own track in the late '70's/early '80's and it is said that some "folks" in one of Louisiana's seedier neighborhoods own the remains. It has never been located though. The fate and whereabouts of the second S&M car are totally unknown.

As for the yellow Bird being crushed a year ago in Texas, Jeff, don't believe a word of it. I have great difficulty believing that without some sort of dated pictures. Even the stupidest of morons (especially someone who works at a junkyard) would know these cars are worth some bucks these days and it doesn't take more than a few minutes to remove or replace a wing. Sorry, that story just don't cut it.

DartCharger, posted below are a few pics of the Daytona from back in the day in OzLand.

Dang John, that 'Tona looks tough as f*#* Of course nowadays,if you pulled up in that the purists may fall to the ground with massive chest pains.

Chris, truth be known, if it still looked that way, I would leave it EXACTLY the way it is! It's funny about the purists. When we had the car at Norwalk this year, this guy (who had to have been a purist) walked up and the first thing he said was "So when are you putting it back to left hand drive?" I asked him if he had bumped his head and he got all offended that I would actually have the audacity to leave a DAYTONA right hand drive and the wrong color! I'm going to start looking for a right hand drive '69 Charger over in Oz to make a clone Daytona out of in the exact same trim this car was back in the day. I'll tell the purists that it's the same car and that I flared the wheelwells and cut the nose up to make the grille inlet larger!!!

I'll give you a hand with that!LOL...That WOULD KILL"EM !!! A DAYTONA

Jeff
BTW i'm going to get the vin from Tim's Superbird right now,be back up later.

Just thougth i'd add a little comment about the F6 green Daytona that my dad had. It was a 4 speed car, black interior, black stripe. I believe that the F6 green Daytona that Dave Jones was selling in the one add was a automatic car, and had a white stripe.
I have some interior shots of all the different wing cars my dad had, interesting enough 4 out of the 5 Daytona's he had were 4 speeds, and the one automatic was the red/red auto on the column. Go figure, as he was always wanting a 440 auto on the console, red with black interior, and black stripe. The one combo he never had.

Didn't Jack Werst get Sox and Martin's 2nd Superbird?

Jeff, bring it on, I need all the help I can get!

Jerico, Wow ya may be right. I always thought Jack's Mr. 5 & 50 Bird was run at the same time but who knows. I think there's a few people that may know but they aren't talking for some reason or another...

My friend and local mopar racing legend.Moparts member Hemi Fred was Jack Wersts crew chief .And from what I showed and asked him about the superbird i had pictures of.Its the same car in the hands of Jennings and Tosten of Aberdeen MD Ken Jennings.with a different paint job

Ok I think I got this it right? If not help me out 69SE SUNROOF.Your dad has had 4 or 5 daytonas know.Ive only been brought up to speed on 1.Red Red Int column auto.2.F6 Green daytona in driveway picture .What ones and colors 3? 4? and 5? .Ive been trying to stay up with the accounting developments .I recall red hemi charger 500 vinyl with the ad I presented on a earlier post.And another 69 charger 500,How many other daytonas and colors and superbirds do you recall or have pictures of your dad owning

OK Dave, what we need to find out now is if the Jack Werst Mr. 5 & 50 Bird was once one of the S&M Birds.

I think one of Dewaynes's other Daytonas was the gray with red stripe Daytona that I posted a pic of earlier in this thread.

I don't know much about this car yet but these are pics of a Charger 500 that was converted into a Daytona. Check out the unusual front end conversion with the fender valances and molded in nose. These pics were emailed to me earlier today. I'll post more info as it becomes available.

Here's the second pic...

Okay wingcars, here is to bring you up to speed. My dad a had a total of 5 Daytona's, and 2 Superbrids, and 2 Charger 500's when i was growing up.
1)R4 red Daytona, red interior, auto on column, white stripe, 440, ps, pb, am radio, rear speaker car.
2)R6 Red Daytona, black interior,console 4 speed, black stripe, 440, ps, pb, am radio.
3)B5 blue Daytona, console 4 speed, black interior, am/fm. (this is the car Onebadsuperbird posted a pic of. It looks kind of grey with a red longitudinal stripe running over the wing, to the nose cone of the car down the side of it)
4)F6 Green Daytona, black interior, console 4 speed, black stripe, 440, and i forget what other options, but i do have some interior pics of all the cars.
5)Was a parts car, was R4 red also black interior, 4 speed, but was missing nose cone, wing, window plug, and most of the interior. Floor boards were rusty, trunk floor was non existent.
And for the Superbirds they were as follows.
1)Alpine white, 440 automatic on the console, black interior car.
2)Lemon Twist Yellow, 440 6 pack, 4 speed car, black interior. We went to tennesse when i was 5 to buy the Yellow bird, for $7,200 so that would have been in 1983.
As far as the other cars, i know my dad purchased the Red/red Daytona in southern indiana, near the kentucky state line. And I know that the B5 blue Daytona, came from Lousiana when we purchased it. But it had been shipped overseas previous to that to Germany.

John check this attachment out and compare it to the earlier one where you posted a silver 500 looks like a daytona .But had vin XX29J9B138602.Here I found it and its story

Dave, yep, that's the car! I wonder how many times it had changed hands since that newsletter article...

I don't remember if I posted this or not but there is an F6 Daytona at the Auto Gallery in Spring Grove, Illinois that is stored there. The story I heard is that the guy who owns it is an airline pilot and only comes and drives the car occasionally. It has been a couple of years since I have been up there and I don't know if it is still there. If nobody here knows about it I will stop up there in a couple of days and check it out.
