Okay which brings me to this question. I had heard that there was a Q5 Daytona in the survivor tent also? I am thinking I was misinformed and that it was Jims F5 Daytona in there. I have seen a few pics from the Vegas show, maybe I should go out there next year. There seems to be a lot of Superbirds at the show. And I heard of a nice R4 red white interior, white stripe daytona that was at the show too.

Yes, it was Q5; he had a magazine open to a feature article on his car. I think it was MCG. I took a couple shots, but it was hard to get good ones. Here they are.

I have some pics but my main puter is down with a worm problem so it will be a day or two.It's sitting with no front clip on it right beside a 69 hemi 4 gear R/T and a 70 V code sunroof R/T S/E Charger....nice company eh?

Wow, that sounds way cool! Get that puter fixed and fire up them pics!

Yeah definately shoot those pics on here. I know the Q5 car that is in Ohio isn't painted Q5 currently, and is sometimes taken to the drag strip to run. The owners name escapes me at this minute but he was riding to the Mopar Nats last year with Doug Croxford.

Ohhhhhhhhh that Daytona! I was coming back from a race at Union Grove, Wisconsin in 1992 and had the red, white and blue Bird on an open trailer behind me when we were passing through southwest Michigan when a trucker keyed up his C.B. radio and started talking to us about the Bird. He told us about a Daytona that was in Berrien Springs, Michigan. We came back about a week later and basically did a door-to-door search in the area the trucker mentioned. We had pics of wing cars with us and literally went up to doors and asked if anyone had seen a car like this in the area. Within ten minutes, we were directed to a farmhouse which sure enough contained the Daytona. It turned out to be a Daytona that was at the 1984 Mopar Nats at Indy where you mentioned I had a shot of your dad's red and gray Daytona pulling through the Holiday Inn parking lot. This car was pulled through the lot on a trailer. If you have the video and remember a dark blue Daytona with fixed headlights and no headlight doors, that's the car! When the owner took us out to the barn to show us the Daytona, it was really rough and the 440 was laying next to it in the dirt. He wanted like $12,500 for it at the time and that was just a little too steep considering all the work it needed. Doug's friend got it for considerably less a few years later, I think like $7,500. I completely forgot that it was Q5. Doug's friend has fixed the car up some and got it running. It's still far from restored but he did have it up enough to bring to Talladega in 1999. Pretty darn cool car!
