An original window sticker for a '69 Daytona.
[[Odd that it only has 20k miles on it. Hope the mice enjoyed living in it.]]
Not a problem- just send it to counts customs-
LOL! 20-30K miles is pretty good for the garbage being put out by Detroit back then. My wife inherited a 71 Olds Cutlass Rocket 350 a few years back. We drove it back from Denver and got it licensed. We drove it around a bit, it was really cool with the thrush mufflers. It was also one of the crappiest cars ever built. The muffler began to fall off after a few hundred miles. The heater blower didn’t work. The A/C has been gutted. It handled for shyt. We sold it to some collector a few months after we got it.
Nostalgia is fun. But those old cars are crap. I played with some old 60s/70s motorcycle restorations back in the 90s. Same story. Those bikes that were so cutting edge are dogs with sh1tty suspensions, lousy handling and worse brakes. Now I just keep photos of old bikes. Damm they were pretty. But crap. I’ll keep my Tiger1050 ABS thank you.
We had a similar reference - failures were often traced to something wrong with the “back plate, head bearing”.
Get it to those Graveyard Cars guys ASAP.
It will look as good as new.
These articles always state that some rare car in POS condition will fetch big bucks. Nonsense. How much will this hulk cost to restore to pristine “original condition”? (HATE that term)
Just in case......my buddy had one stole right after he bought it...
Making note, his name is O... C.... in S.C.
The “standard” Charger looked fast, just sitting there. Thanks for the memories!!
Yep
