@whitefury1 Really??? Are you sure about that??? I'll tell ya what. I own the car and I'll put $100 on the FACT that it IS a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. LOL! Ya gotta love the internet 'experts'!!!
@JoHnNyDePpIsFiT The Plynouth Superbird DOES say "Plymouth" on the side of it BUT what car are you referring to? I thought the car in question was the car shown in this video, which IS a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona.
@OneBadSuperbird Im not a car expert but I love Plymouth Superbirds and I just thought the one on the vid was a P S : / Im sorry if I got it wrong. Its the Spoiler and the nose of the car that looks lot like P S.
@JoHnNyDePpIsFiT No worries. The cars are similar in that they are both Chrysler B-Body platform cars and that they both have similar noses and wings but they don't share any body parts amd one is based off of a 1969 Dodge Charger and the other is based off of a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner.
@JoHnNyDePpIsFiT You can tell by the nose cone...the Superbird's is a bit bigger and has the Roadrunner logo on the side of the lamp door plus has a slant running through the middle of it. oO
Could you imagine how nascar would've been if Chevy and Ford made competition for these winged wonders, instead of complaining about how powerful they were?
even though i love my 77 280Z, nothing beats a muscle car. stock vs stock, muscle cars are better(not sure about tracks with lots of turns though i.e Nurburgring). bad ass vid.
nice. I'd have to say that the coolest thing about the original Zs is that you can easily drop in a nice V8. Some places even make complete kits to drop it in. So bad ass.
Right hand conversion? That's awesome, never seen a Charger that way. I got a buddy makin a Daytona clone, should be done this summer. Awesome car, great burnout.
..didn't know much about US Mopars when I saw this 'wing-thing' cruising around Sydney in the 70's & then along came the 'dukes' on TV with that fab Charger! yee-hah!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video! We're gonna have to get the ol' Daytona out this summer. It's been in hibernation since the summer of 2007. Just too much stuff going on. Thanks again for checking out the video.
hey kid im with you there whats with these Rice burner POS'S anyway one they have no looks two they have no speed a charger ford mustang or chevy SS impala could woop their butt any day
i hate how my generation can only think about this Japanese import crap, i've been around for the majority of my life and i could mopars n't love it more, in fact i'm the only kid in my school who can say they want a 64' fury over some dumb honda shit. Great Daytona, great video, mopar or no car.
That is way cool and nice to hear that all of today's generation isn't warped. What a lot of these kids don't realize is that the Jap crap is destroying an American industry. With what all is happening with the Detroit automakers due to the influx of all the Jap crap, it's only a matter of time before American cars are a part of our past. Keep the faith, you're definitely part of a dying breed.
You're welcome to the gang, it's the same here, i wouldn't even drive a jap car even if i were paid for it, japcars=shit.
I'am also the only person in highschool as far as i know who refuse jap shit and who also stands for it, idk if other like it or not, my first car will be a 60s american car, that will be the only thing i will drive.
I never said I wanted one,I just said they were good cars. I would never go near one if I could help it but I like a little variety. Besides,my taste is in warbirds. Cars are clearly not my greatest interest.
LOL! Well that's good! I like variety too. There's all kinds of strange vehicles that I like but I do have an attitude against Jap cars. They helped destroy the American auto industry and being from Detroit, I take that a little bit personally.
@OneBadSuperbird fuck ya brother riceburners are guy a car isint a car unless it gets 10 miles to the gallon and detroit kicks ass to havent bin thare in a while tho.....
@OneBadSuperbird: At least they used to be reliable............I wouldn't trust half the crap coming out of South Korea or China nowadays{god forbid if Chinese companies ever get the green light to sell their wares here in the U.S.!}
There are several suppliers that make wing car body parts to turn a Charger or Road Runner into a winged car. Some are better than others but all are made in either the U.S.A. or Canada.
Plenty of cars look cool doing burnouts, but this one dots the 'i' in burnout.
And some folks don't care to put function before form. ;-) None of these big ol' cars would be able to crack 200mph without those aerodynamic bits and bobs.
I sure do. I was the third owner of a 1989 Dodge Spirit ES Turbo. I know it wasn't like the Spirit R/T or the 2.2 turbo Dodge Shelbys and GLH's and so forth but it was a really cool car.
Well that's a bit of a surprise. When I go to MoPar events, the front drivers get pointed and stared at. That's why I only go to the drag race events. Nobody laughs there. You should check out my little turd of a car. It's still a stock shortblock 2.2l
That's way cool. I can't stand when people put down other people's cars. It doesn't matter to me if it's a '71 Hemi Cuda or a '85 Turbo Shelby Charger, they're both cool Mopar performance cars. Keep the faith!
My god... beautiful car. By far my favorite of the muscle car era. I don't understand why they don't make cars like this anymore, who cares about fuel mileage... much better than an import ricer.
oh i was just saying that cause it's a nice car and i was just hoping you were the lucky guy who owned it, sorry if you took it as an insult i didn't mean it like that.
No, the car is originally Hemi Orange with a black tail but was repainted 1998 Ford Taurus Moonlight Blue Mist with a white tail about five years before it left Australia to come back over to the States. I really can't see it going back to Hemi Orange anytime soon.
Wow, thanks for the detailed info and quick reply. I thought that maybe, just maybe, I was seeing "mood indigo iridescent" for the first time. Some day...
gotta love guys with rare cars who aren't afraid to beat the shit out of 'em. The cars were built to be abused, not put on a pedastal and wiped with a friggin' diaper!
Caroll Shelby said this while addressing the Cobra crowd: (paraphrase) it's nice that the cars are being highly collected, going for big bucks and that people have an appreciation of 'em, but he built the cars to be driven and to truly appreciate what he built you have to DRIVE 'em. Of course, it's a matter of taste and finances. I'm not disagreeing with you, if you have a concourse car that took thousands to restore would you put that investment on the line like this? That would be up to you.
Long ago my older brother's buddy dropped a 440c.i.d. in a '70 Dart. Said it could keep up with the Hemi's. Gave me a ride in it once, when I was 12. Nearly got whiplash and thought I was gonna die. More thrilling than most amusement park rides. Nice vid-thanks.
You know my father once had a challenger with the 426 hemi set up. He had done so much to it and it was king of our town. but he SOLD IT!!! the bad thing about that is he said he would have passed it down to me if he still had it! anyway Mopar or No Car man
Yup, my dad had a 1965 Corvette roadster 396, 425 horsepower, 4-speed. The car was mint, loaded and very rare being as how the 396 was a one year, middle of the year option that was replaced in 1966 by the 427. Dad sold it in 1976 to buy a farm tractor of all things! I remember totally bumming out as the new owner pulled out of the driveway with it. Not a Mopar, I know, but still a wickedly fast and cool car. I often wonder where that car is today.
Heck yeah it is! I wouldn't go through all the grief of shipping the car clear across the globe if I was going to convert it back to left hand drive and make it like every single other Daytona out there. I catch grief from the "purist" idiots for not changing it back and making it "proper" but they can all kiss my bare-bottom behind!!!
Yup! It was Kevin's son Daniel Monk that I bought the car from. And yes, it is still right hand drive and will ALWAYS be that way as long as I own it. I wouldn't have brought a car over from clear across the globe if I was gonna change it back to LHD like every other Daytona. You wouldn't believe the purist idiots who get on my case for NOT switching it back to LHD. Some people have gotten belligerent with me for not switching it back. Like I said, purist idiots!!!
I agree with ya,it would lose its uniqueness and then no would would believe its been across the globe in Australia for most of its life.Were the rear quarter panels modded when it was Orange or were they just custom flares? those rear rims haad to be what 15X12's? Do you know a guy by the handle OZHemi?He imporst alotta Aussie muscle as well exports alotta U.S muscle to OZ.He has a wicked Torana and a E49 Charger 265 inline Hemi
Hey, sorry I didn't see this comment til now. I do indeed know Jeff (OzHemi) and he was the one who imported the car for me! If it wasn't for me knowing Jeff, I would never have pursued this car as I wouldn't have had a clue how to get it ftom Oz to here. If it weren't for Jeff and his partner Peter in Oz, someone else would have ended up with the car. I have lots of pics with the Daytona in his driveway after we took it out of the container sitting next to his Torana and Charger.
Was that the one in OZ that had the alum slots and was red with a black rear stripe and said'MAXIMUM WEDGE' on the rear bottum valance panel and rocker panels?
YES!!! That is indeed the same car! It was actually Hemi Orange though and said "Magnum Wedge". The fellow who imported it to Oz in 1973 sold it to his son in 1998 and his son took the car down to a bare shell and redid the car in 1998 Ford Taurus Moonlight Blue Mist. I imported the car back the U.S. in 2003 and it now lives just 20 minutes from the site of the Hamtramck assembly plant it was built at nearly 40 years ago.
thts bad ass a daytona chager laying a patch nothing like taking one of the most expensive mopars out there and pourin the coal to her keep it up would like to see more
Cool Mopar !!! I'm glad you still enjoy using such a rare muscle car !!!! More owners should. I still use my rare 1969 Hurst SC/Rambler like it is 1969 and I have a lot of fun with it ! Turns me on everytime I drive it,thats what it's all about. Thanks, Matt
Matt, that's way cool! I still kick myself for not picking up a fairly nice SC/Rambler back in 1982-1983. It was for sale for a looooong time at $1,500 and was a B paint scheme. Man, if I could just go back! Thanks and see ya on Moparts!
Oh for crying out loud, that's what the darn cars were built for in the first place! You have absolutely no clue how satisfying it is to be able to take these cars and run them hard. Check out the video I have posted of my red, white and blue Sox & Martin Tribute Superbird. That Superbird has been actively campaigned as a drag car for the past twenty years. Drive it like ya stole it!!!
Oh heck, why not? Ya only live once! Not to mention that the car is none the worse off after doing that and other smokers. When I die, I can honestly attest to having fun with these cars!

Was that the one in OZ that had the alum slots and was red with a black rear stripe and said'MAXIMUM WEDGE' on the rear bottum valance panel and rocker panels?
HOTROD74GremlinX 4 years ago
YES!!! That is indeed the same car! It was actually Hemi Orange though and said "Magnum Wedge". The fellow who imported it to Oz in 1973 sold it to his son in 1998 and his son took the car down to a bare shell and redid the car in 1998 Ford Taurus Moonlight Blue Mist. I imported the car back the U.S. in 2003 and it now lives just 20 minutes from the site of the Hamtramck assembly plant it was built at nearly 40 years ago.

Matt, that's way cool! I still kick myself for not picking up a fairly nice SC/Rambler back in 1982-1983. It was for sale for a looooong time at $1,500 and was a B paint scheme. Man, if I could just go back! Thanks and see ya on Moparts!

Jesus bloody christ. If I had one of those I wouldn't do that even if you paid me.

Oh for crying out loud, that's what the darn cars were built for in the first place! You have absolutely no clue how satisfying it is to be able to take these cars and run them hard. Check out the video I have posted of my red, white and blue Sox & Martin Tribute Superbird. That Superbird has been actively campaigned as a drag car for the past twenty years. Drive it like ya stole it!!!
OneBadSuperbird 4 years ago
Damn, I don't know if I'd do that with a $250,000 car.
jmuduke99 4 years ago
Oh heck, why not? Ya only live once! Not to mention that the car is none the worse off after doing that and other smokers. When I die, I can honestly attest to having fun with these cars!
OneBadSuperbird 4 years ago
I hear ya. Good attitude. I have a '69, and damn it's fun to drive!
