1969 Dodge Charger Daytona Wipeout

Step back in time a quarter of a century to the 1982 Chrysler Car Club Convention held at the Chrysler Proving Grounds in Chelsea, Michigan. Check out a F6 Spring Green 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona as it loses control on one of the smaller banked curves at the Proving Grounds. There was a happy ending though as the car merely spun out down on to the lower apron of the banking.

man... you had a camera that could zoom-in in 1982... damn, that's older than I am. damn the cars... that camera itself is a piece of history

@AlexRmF Wow too cool! Someone that brought up the equipment! That was the very first Mopar event we shot and it was with rented equipment. It worked out so well that I went and bought the exact same setup. I still have both pieces around here somewhere. I can't remember the model number of the camera but both pieces were Panasonic. The VCR deck was a Panasonic NV-8420 and yes, the camera and deck were separate with like an eight-foot cord connecting the two! Times sure have changed!

is that black car at 1:23 a road runner?

[OneBadSuperbird]

@jrmissca060708 That was a 1969 Coronet.

So what did the car look like after... was it salvageable.

[OneBadSuperbird]

The car was fine. Please read the video description.

I am a GM guy all the way but I dont think there is a car more iconic than the Superbird

[soboneidol]

There were no finer cars than these ones. Nothing can touch them. It's like comparing Led Zeppelin to Blink 182 or something when putting up these masterpieces to some of todays musterpieces.

@OneBadSuperbird I had a Sony Betacam from that era and it had one helluva fine zoom lens
