Wow Doug, that last pic was just too cool. I haven't seen that pic in many, many years. It was taken sometime in the summer of 1981. That's a shot of the ol' red, white and blue Bird with my late father behind the wheel. Dad really loved the Bird and really enjoyed driving it. Man, I sure do miss him a lot...

John, would you like the hard copy of that photo back? Be happy to return it to you.

Doug

Doug, I saved the pic to my hard drive and printed off a few copies this morning. I still have a few of the hard copies amongst the mess here somewhere, just ain't come across em in years! Thanks a bunch for posting the pic, that was really cool.

A buddy of mine came by the shop today with an old photo album.These two pics were taken at an Ontario gas station in the late 70's....hmmmm....wonder where this Daytona is now? Hemi decal on the nose cone....Hemi door emblems popped off.He did not record the VIN # and does not remember if it was a 4spd or auto.Anybody have any ideas??

In the mid 80's Duncan found this 53,000 mile automatic Daytona in a back yard in Toronto....he paid 5 or 6K Canadian.Said he had driven by it a 1000 times but with the wing off and tarped up he thought it was a boat.He pulled into a Beckers store with his Superbird and a woman said..."I've got a car just like that in my backyard".It's apparently in Florida now.

He bought this nosecone off a guy in Ontario in the mid 80's....has no idea what happened to the rest of the car....since its Ontario it probably rotted away lol

HEY MAN I WAS JUST WANDERING IF ANYBODY HEARD OF THE MOVIE "THE WRATH" ITS AN OLD MOVIE ABOUT THE CHARGER DAYTONAS AND I DONT KNOW WHO IS IN IT OR WHERE I CAN BUY IT OR IF IT IS OUT THERE SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS DILEMMA....U CAN POST IT HERE OR EMAIL ME AT LOCAL.PZ@MAILCITY.COM

MOPAR 4 LIFE!

FuryMan, way cool pictures! I'd like to have seen what the rest of the Daytona looked like that the nose was off of. It looked to have been somewhat custom painted. The Hemi Daytona was also really cool. Just another car back in the day!

Alright, I am finally adding to the superbird/daytona frenzy. The daytona pictured comes to the Woodward Dream Cruise every year. Last year, while living in the dorms at Central Michigan University, I had a picture of '68 Charger RT on my door. A girl walked by and noticed it was a Charger. We got talking about MoPars, and come to find out, it's her dad's daytona I see every year! She was also on the show "Hemming's: My Classic Car." It is a small world indeed. I was also promised a ride in it this year...

RTKid, I've seen that Daytona many times in this area. The folks used to live in Farmington Hills, not sure if they still do or not. You're right, it's always at the Woodward Dream Cruise and there's always a bunch of girls riding in it. Very cool car!

OneBad,

That's the car alright! The girl usually driving is followed by her dad in his firehawk. She told me thier garage is carpeted!


And here's another picture from the CEMA car show at the Walter P. Chrysler Museuem a few years ago...

And one more of a Superbird at the Pavillion car show in AZ this past summer...

Cool pics! Hey I do seem to remember a Firehawk following that Daytona around now that ya mention it! That CEMA show at the WPC Museum was a cool show. I had the red, white and blue Bird there too that year.

Cool deal Doug. And here I thought he invented cake mixes. I know, I know, stick to my day job right???
