Barn Find Sells for a Whopping $90,000 at Mecum Florida

February 6, 2016

Here is one that will wound up at the Mecum Auto Auction in Florida last month.
Mecum describes the vehicle as:

“The Dodge 440 Magnum engine, which was only offered in the Daytona and R/T versions of the 1969 Charger, is original to the car, complete with many never-replaced peripherals. Behind this is a 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic and 8 ¾ differential. Again, none of this has been altered since the car was retrieved. What makes this Daytona especially appealing are its interior options, which include headrest-equipped bucket seats, factory-chromed floor shifter in a center console, dash cluster with clock/tach assembly and more. Door-mount stereo speakers were added to the factory radio at one point, and the interior has been stabilized but remains as found. To homologate the Daytona body for NASCAR, Dodge was required to build 500 units; they built just 503 of these cars. The story of its discovery was recently relayed in the pages of “Mopar Muscle” magazine, and you will have the possibility to take ownership of this true time capsule, either to preserve in legacy or restore to like-new condition.”
