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.


On the hunt for my dad's old cars. They include 5 Daytona's, 2 superbirds, and 2 500's. Very interested in finding the Red on Red Daytona, and Q5 Charger 500, and have found both cars.

Danny, the Q5 Daytona was in one of the show car tents near the Survivor tent but not in the Survivor tent. It was the one with the full wheel covers which I believe is Charlie Self's old car. You really should make it out to Vegas for the show next year. It is an awesome event.

Guess i'll just have to mortgage the house and get me a wing car so that I can go to all thsese shows and have a good time too. Just kidding, although i'm tryin really hard into talking my wife into letting me get a loan for a Daytona. I don't think she will budge though. Just curious here, but isn't there 4 Q5 Daytona's? I know of one in Ohio, well there used to be 2 in Ohio, but I think one has since sold. But I recall a time back in 96 I believe that there was 3 Q5 Daytona's for sale at the same time in Hemmings Motor News. I always thought that was strange. One was in ohio, one in missouri, and one in New York.

Danny, ya gotta keep working on the wife. Loan rates are excellent right now and there's no time like the present to take the plunge and dive into a Daytona. You'll never, ever regret it. Ya want me to talk to her? Y'all still need to come up here once I get the Daytona back from Bosch. I think we can talk her into letting ya do it. Either that or we'll die trying!

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.

Yup, I think this is the same car. This shot was taken at Englishtown a few years back.

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!

What a small world it is. I believe the car is a dark blue now, or at least it was in the few pics he was showing me last year. We got to talking about various cars, and i mentioned the Q5 500 my dad used to have, and then he pulled out some pics and showed me his car. Said it wasn't done yet, but was done enough to take out and enjoy and have fun with. Which is what I wish all wing car owners could say about their cars. Take them out and drive them. have fun with them, i know i sure would if i had one. i'd drive it every nice day i could. Miles don't matter to me, i don't care if its a daytona with 300,000 on it. It would still be a Daytona, but only one that has had a lot more enjoyment than a 5,000 mile car. Sure the low miles are nice to look at and for reference but i want one i can drive.

Back in 1977, we heard through the grapevine about an old wing car stock car. It was in Appleton WI, about 100 miles away. So on a winter day, off we went.

Well, we were a little disappointed, as it was a Road Runner short track car with a real Bird wing. We didn't think it was anything significant... but at the time I wouldn't have known a Nichels built car if I saw one. I wish I knew then what I know now. I'm sure it was never a wing race car, I still wonder about that car and what it really was, and if it was an older car that was updated.

Here's another good set of photos. Early to mid 1980's. What is beyond the trees?

Oh there, that's what is hiding back there. Just sitting in the middle of the field. Nothing around it on all four sides.
