PLEASE ALLOW ALL THE PICTURES (150 +) FOLLOWING THE TEXT TO LOAD - BELIEVE ME IT'LL BE WORTH THE WAIT!! VintageCarsOnline is extremely proud to present one of the most documented and publicized ’69 Dodge Daytona’s ever to be made available. 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona – a little history lesson… The 1969 Dodge Daytona and its sibling,
the 1970 Plymouth Super Bird, are arguably the most radical vehicles to emerge
from the muscle car wars. But the Daytona, as the name might suggest, was built
to win NASCAR’s Superspeedways—the longest and fastest tracks. Little-Known Fact: The Daytona's aerodynamic modifications over those
of a standard Charger helped lower the coefficient of drag to 0.28—an excellent
figure even by today's standards. But did that huge rear wing really need to be
so tall to maximize rear-end down force? According to legend; NO. The reason
for the exaggerated height of the wing was so that the trunk lid on the
production cars could pass underneath it when open. In order to race the Daytona in NASCAR, Dodge had to sell 500 units to the public. Priced at $4,000, the production Daytona’s were available with either the 440/4v or the 426/8v Hemi. Daytona’s, however, weighed almost 300 pounds more than regular Chargers with the same engines, and thus their performance on the street suffered when compared to the lighter R/T’s. But on the high-banked tracks of the NASCAR circuit, they were unstoppable. Capable of 220 mph in race trim, the Daytona would be highly successful in NASCAR racing. It was very expensive to produce, and only 503 were manufactured (not including Canadian export figures). DETAILS ABOUT THE CAR WE HAVE HERE….. This car is equipped with ITS ORIGINAL,
#’S MATCHING, BORN WITH – 440/4V 375-horse power engine, THE ORIGINAL Hemi
4-Speed transmission, and THE ORIGINAL Dana-60 rear-end! This beautiful R4 Red
B-Body includes a black Daytona stripe with corresponding black bucket seat
interior. The owner has added an ORIGINAL set of Kelsey Hayes’ famous “recall”
wheels (and the CORRECT lug nuts – try and find those today!) wrapped with
redline radials - yes this car gets
driven! The original 14” road wheels are included with the car shod with
Coker bias ply red stripes. This is a true investment grade Mopar here folks.

TWO MORE ACCOLADES THAT IS WORTH MENTIONING ABOUT THIS DAYTONA… JOHNNY LIGHTNING – the 1:64 die cast car #23 “Mopar or No
Car” is THIS CAR! This is a very sought after die cast
toy and are always being sold on eBay etc. – HOW COOL IS THAT!!! The other accomplishment is being included in MOTHER MOPAR’S
OWN Magazine! Muscle Essentials – the Mopar Performance Bible and parts catalog! Let’s dig into the car’s
current condition: The car has been restored twice, once in 1991, and again more correctly in 1998. Prior to that, while under Mr. Burley’s ownership the car was painted but he did not touch the engine bay, trunk, interior or undercarriage – he also changed the wing and stripe color to white. Under Judge Andrew’s ownership the car had its first extensive resto - $53,000 in receipts came with the car when Paul had purchased it. During 1991-1998 the car had been driven approximately 1,000 miles. Once Paul got the car up to NJ the arduous task to get the car factory “correct” began. With the help of some very good and knowledgeable friends the car has become what you see here – simply incredible. This car is as correct as it can be – many, many months were spent searching for the right parts (i.e. the scissor jack for the front of the car - @#$%@!) for the restoration. The only “incorrect” part is the hood as it is from a 1970 Charger donor car as the original Daytona hood was rusted beyond use as they
often are. Since being finished in 1999 the car has been a very enjoyable and
driven piece of Mopar history. The odometer currently shows 46,911 miles and they are
absolutely correct, the mileage may change once the weather gets better! Exterior: The paint on this car is approaching 15 years old and still
shows really, really nice. No dings or
scratches anywhere. The paint looks as good in person as it does in the
pictures. The bumpers are original to the car (re-chromed, of course). I
challenge you to find another Daytona that has the headlight doors as perfectly
aligned as they are on this car. The car is very straight and presents
extremely well. During the restorations both quarter panels, the front
driver-side inner fender well, and a portion of the floor pan was replaced – again using actual Dodge panels – no reproduction metal in this car! The radiator
support stamping matches the VIN, as does the trunk.
The owner has an extra nose cone grille (NOS and unbent),
along with other very rare parts that can be bought along with the car – look
for those to be listed separately (NOS WING’s, brake parts, drums, wheels,
etc.) Exhaust: Original manifolds going to factory “hemi” mufflers and out the
B-body tips. Exhaust is in good shape, no rattles or leaks.
Interior: The interior has been restored with new seat covers and foam,
new door panels and water shields, new rear shelf, and more. The center console (including the door) is all original. The seat trim is perfect along
with the seat backs. The kick panels are perfect. The front seats track and work flawlessly. The headliner was replaced, and the seat belts were fully
restored down to the chrome. All seat belts are there and very original (as
dates will show). New door rubber and windlaces. New lower door weather stripping.
Window weather stripping is believed to be original. The dash has been redone
and is perfect. The dash pad is in great shape with no cracks. Even the original
Hurst shift handle was re-chromed. Also
the heater core and the entire heater box were completely restored to prevent
against unwanted anti-freeze getting into the interior. Trim: The chrome and stainless trim on the car is original and shows very
well. The stainless is in really nice shape, with no blemishes and the coveted
front wheelwell moldings are intact and on the car. The molding around the
wheel wells is perfect. The side marker lights are working and in great shape. Overall
the car’s bright work is very nice. Brakes: The brakes were completely redone during the ’99 restoration. The
front disc brakes are brand new with the original rotors, calipers rebuilt, all
new bearings, seals, hoses, dust caps, master cylinder, booster and pads – all
were addressed. The rear drums were also completely redone with brand new
drums, pads and a full hardware kit on both sides. The brake parts were
provided by Mopar - NOS. The car stops very smoothly and dead straight. They
feel great! Engine: 440-375hp/480lb ft of torque - the engine serial number matches the
car’s VIN number. I will be happy to let the buyer check as well. The engine
has been rebuilt and a Glen Ray radiator has been installed to allow the car to
cruise at 175 degrees. Worry not, the
original radiator is tucked away and comes with the car. All the engine brackets, air cleaner assembly, accessories, etc. are correctly plated and painted with original colors. With
proper care this engine should last another 50 years or more. The carburetor
has been professionally restored and remanufactured along with a second
distributor as the owner installed a Pertronix electronic ignition module (again,
don’t worry, the original dual point is tucked away and unmolested) for ease of
operation of the car. Only the best of
judges can figure out that the ignition system is electronic and Pertronix
never had a conversion kit for the Chrysler dual point distributor, the prototype is in this car!
Transmission: The #’s
matching and indestructible “Hemi” four-speed; Chrysler’s 18-spline A833 with a 2.66
first gear, and Hurst Shifter. Only 139 440 Daytona’s were Rear Differential: Being that this car is an original
4-speed with the A33 code, Dodge put 3.54 gears in the Sure-Grip-equipped Dana 60
9.75” rear
axle. Keep in mind that 3/4 -ton and 1-ton pickups from the 60’s through the 80’s used
the Dana 60 axle
for its
beefiness, so you’ll have to work hard to break one of these bad boys! Tires / Wheels: As stated before this car is running the 15” Kelsey-Hayes code
W23 “Recall” wheels with Coker Redline Radials. The original 14” road wheels and Coker bias ply redline tires are included.
Lights / Misc: Inside and outside lights all work fine. Windshield wipers work,
although the car is never in the rain, so it probably needs new refills. The
original spare is in the trunk, along with all the correct jacks and associated
hardware. THANK YOU! This car is 100% sorted out and ready to enjoy. While it may be considered a trailer queen to some it can carry its own weight and be driven hard if you want to. Drive it anywhere with
confidence. No disappointments. No surprises. No BS. You won't find a nicer,
matching #, 4-Spd Daytona, that’s this well documented for under $200k – this
is WELL under that mark. NOT DRIVING YOUR CAR IS LIKE SAVING YOUR WIFE FOR THE NEXT GUY!! Our standard disclaimer: Being that this is a 45 year old car; NO warranty is stated, expressed or implied. The car is Sold as-is, where-is. While I've been as detailed as possible with my description, a Pre-Purchase is inspection strongly encouraged.

Rare Dodge Shelby Dakota is a very '80s sport truck
Fri, Jun 3 2016The late-great Carroll Shelby built an incredibly successful career of making all sorts of cars faster, more often than not, with a bigger or more potent engine under the hood. The icons are well known—legends like the Shelby Cobra, GT350 Mustang, and the big GT500. But by the 1980s, Shelby was plying his trade over at Chrysler, at the behest of chairman Lee Iacocca, churning out special editions like the Dodge Shelby Charger, zippy CSX, rorty GLHS, and this—the 1989 Shelby Dakota muscle truck. 1,500 of these racy pickups were built for just one year and a whole two-and-a-half decades later they still turn heads. This one especially. The spotless pickup recently turned up for sale online , and its odometer reads a claimed 25,307 miles. So what makes these rarified work trucks special? As with most Shelbys, it starts under the hood. Up until 1989, the standard Dodge Dakota pickups were offered in only four-cylinder and V6 variants. But Dodge (and Shelby) wanted more, so the larger 5.2-liter Magnum V8 from Dodge's full-size pickup was shoehorned into the midsize Dakota, albeit not effortlessly. To fit, Dodge had to swap the V8's belt-driven fan for an electric unit mounted in front of the radiator. That did the trick, as well as earned the V8 a few extra ponies, pushing the special Dakota up to 175 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque. That performance may sound paltry by today's standards, but in 1989 it was seen as quite sporty, and netted a zero to 60 mph dash in 8.5 seconds. A four-speed automatic with lockup torque converter transmitted that power to the rear wheels. Additional Shelby performance goodies included a limited-slip differential, transmission cooler, along with a host of eye-catching body mods, including a unique air dam and bumpers, Shelby floor mats, monogramed seats and door panels, a "CS" steering wheel, 15-spoke hollow alloy wheels, and shouty body graphics. While the Shelby Dakota didn't return for 1990, its V8 legacy did continue, and in 1991 the 5.2-liter eight-cylinder became an option on new Dakotas. Of the 1,500 Shelby Dakota pickups built, 860 were dressed in red while a rarer 640 came adorned in Bright White. This '89 is said to be #245 of those white trucks, sold new to its original (and sole) owner in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, for $15,985 (the Shelby package cost $3,933 in its day). Currently, it's demanding bids north of $10,000 for its low-mileage originality. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
Ranking Dodge's Charger Hellcat with the fastest sedans in the world
Thu, 14 Aug 2014
"This is a car that most brands would never bring to market." - Tim Kuniskis
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis had reason to be confident, perhaps even a bit cocky at the reveal of his brand's newest halo car, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. As he said simply, it's the "quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world."
Dodge Challenger outsold Mustang, Camaro in third quarter of 2019
Fri, Oct 4 2019The Dodge Challenger is nearly old enough to start driver's ed in some states, and it doesn't have a firm grasp on the increasingly crucial concept of downsizing, yet it beat the odds to become the most popular American two-door model during the third quarter of 2019. Its ballooning sales figures suggest buyers don't always want the latest, most advanced car they can get their hands on. Dodge sold 18,031 examples of the Challenger during the third quarter of 2019, a shocking 21% increase over the same period in 2018. It's a true muscle car, normally sardined in the same can as the Chevrolet Camaro and the Ford Mustang, a pair of smaller, nimbler two-doors that are much closer to the historic definition of a pony car. Semantics aside, the Mustang finished on the second spot of the sales podium with 16,823 sales, a 12.3% drop compared to the third quarter of 2018, and the Camaro took third with 12,275 sales, a 15% dip that alarmingly comes in the wake of two redesigns. More specific sales figures aren't available. We don't know what percentage of the sales mix V8s represent, or whether buyers prefer manual or automatic transmissions. The scoreboard looks different when we examine 2019's year-to-date figures. The Mustang takes first place with 55,365 sales, followed by the Challenger at 46,699, and the Camaro at 36,791. While the Challenger's recent ascent is encouraging, it can't mask the fact that two-door models no longer enjoy a favorable tailwind, and the entire segment — not just the American entries — is declining. The aforementioned year-to-date figures are down by 10.1, 11, and 7.6 percent, respectively. The third-quarter statistics revealed a handful of other surprises unrelated to the world of performance. Dodge notably sold three examples of the Dart, a sedan it hasn't built since 2016. That's a 93% drop compared to the 45 units that found a home during the third quarter of 2018.
