Nope sure didn't, but i'll have to look again but I think i have their website wrote down here somewhere. i'll check on it when i get home from work.

Hope you don't mind me hi-jacking this thread again, but I thought you guys might be interested in a few pics of Daytona's over here in Blighty.

The first is Carlos' TX9 Hemi 4 speed with white stripe and interior that was displayed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed a couple of years ago.

Next is John's R4 440 car that he took with him when he emigrated from the UK to New Zealand last year, together with an EK2 Superbird. A pic of them both at a NZ car show was on another thread recently.

Next is Pete's EV2/black stripe 440 car, photographed on the steep banking at the historic Brooklands racetrack last year, alongside Stuart's EK2 6-bbl Superbird.

Lastly, here's Bob's Daytona that he has owned and raced for at least 20 years. It runs low 11's. The nose cone is home made, but it's a genuine Daytona.

Thanks for the overseas wingcar status reports.Nice to see some more accounted for

Was Bob's Daytona a "drag car" all its life ?? Any more history on the car ?? Reed in Nebraska

well I can't seem to find the website, i didn't have it written down, just typed it in on the computer while on the phone with a buddy. Anyways, I guess I was the one who was wrong. I never mentioned to them it was a clone or anything, and when i got back home I looked at the website again and it states its a clone. My buddy had just read me the add over the phone. guess i should have read it all myself before going. Instead I got excited and just left here. either way though i believe 40,000 for a clone is a bit high.

By the way, great looking pics of the wing cars over sea's. I was wondering if all of those cars are accounted for in either of the wing clubs?

FYI, There is a small article about the Winged Warriors in this months Hemmings Muscle Machines. Very nice color pics as well.

AFX, Bob told me recently that he had owned the yellow Daytona for 26 years (I think). Not sure of its history prior to that. It's certainly been a race car since I first encountered it in about 1983, when it was running the original motor It was white then, and had a 70 front end on it, which it still had until a few years ago (pic attached). Bob is a veteran of the street classes, and won Original KOS at the 2003 Mopar EuroNats Check it our for some more of my pics.

Danny, the other 3 Daytonas were imported in the last 3 years. John's red/white 440 (now in NZ) came from LA, and Pete's red/black 440 came from Pennsylvania. I believe Carlos' car is 1 of only 2 black/white/white Hemi 4 speeds made. I'd be surprised if they're not known to the Aero/Winged Warriors.

Well i've seen both of the HEMI black Daytona's with white stripes. However I don't recall both having white interior. One had black unless there are 3 HEMI black daytona's that are 4 speeds.

I'm sure you're right Danny - it's one of 2 black Hemi 4 speeds, and the only one with a white interior. Carlos also displayed his white Hemi 500 at the same event (pic).

BTW - good luck with your quest

Is one of those black daytonas .Formerly owned by Jim Radke of Ca.It went to Monteverdi in England I believe

I believe that Carlos' is the same Daytona t hat Jim Radke had previously.

Thanks Adam - lots of people "document" the stock/original cars - I'm into the "drag cars" from the past - love to trace the history of these "racers" - just curious about when/who built the Bird into a "drag-car" - many thanks, Reed in Nebraska / 308-236-5784

You're welcome Reed

I think Bob has done all of the work to convert his Daytona to a drag car, starting in the late 70's. It is still street legal, though I don't think he drives it to work

At it's best in the 80's, it used to run in the low 11's without NOS. The motor's a little tired now (and according to Bob, so is he!). He brings it to the Mopar EuroNats each year, and ran 11.95 last year.

Next time I see him, I'll get some more details for you. In the meantime, here's a pic of the XX29 rear window. Some folks have speculated that the car is a 500 with a wing, but if Bob says it's a Daytona, that's good enough for me.

Yes, the black Daytona is in the Carlos Monteverde collection. I don't like to use folks' surnames without their permission, but I guess you guys all know about his cars.

If you Pm me the yellow race daytona vin.Can supply where it sold new from.and moparts member Benny lyons is on the board and has several wingcar photo albums.from back in the day .I PM ed him asking to post some of his pictures

Adam, way cool pics from over across the pond! Thanks for posting them! I really liked the yellow race Daytona!


I just gor back from Mopars At The Strip in Las Vegas and saw two very noteworthy winged cars. One was an extremely nice B5 Blue Hemi Superbird and the other was an F5 Green Daytona just recently acquired by Jim McCauley of Missouri. Jim has owned a very nice red Daytona for many years that was featured in Mopar Action back in 1991. He also has a black Daytona from Canada. Anyways, a woman in Missori was recently widowed and left with the F5 Daytona. She remembered that her late husband had bought the issue of Mopar Action with Jim's Daytona in it and found the magazine and looked Jim up and offered him the Daytona. It had been sitting in their basement garage from 1976-2004. The car is all original and is truly a time machine. The paint is a little dull and it has a few dings from the original owner's son took it through a cornfield one night. Jim got a stack of documentation about three inches thick with the car. I believe the VIN was XX29L9B410766 and that the car was sold new out of St. Joseph, Missouri which is where it remained it's entire life until Jim just recently wound up with it. They are still out there folks...

So how did Jims newest Daytona look? I talked to Jim and had him out to dinner a few days after he just bought the Green Daytona. While eating he said "I have a story for you". Went on to describe how he heard about the car, and then going to see it. Then he said he would see me with the car at the Vegas show, but I informed him that I wouldn't be able to make that show. So I suppose I'll see the car when I go visit him this summer. Very nice family, him and his wife. Very friendly people. Great to hear of them finding another great daytona. I just wish i was 1/3rd as lucky as they are. 1 would be fine with me for now.
