At minute 20:45 the showroom mechanic giving the "tour" describes the Superbird nosecone as "all aluminum". Is the factory nose cone aluminum or is he saying it has a reproduction aluminum nose cone?
I tried to correct this "know it all" on the video he posted where he claims the front fender perforations are for tire clearance. When I posted a comment that was incorrect, the same guy came back with a reply that "Dodge" even said the slots were for tire clearance. I give up.
Has anyone really documented/proven these silly stories about dealers removing the Superbird nose and/or wing to make the new vehicle more sale-able? I just don't believe those stories to be true, but with adequate proof you can correct my misconceptions.

We know they sit on the wings for photo shoots, but I was wondering if any girls have purchased/owned a Daytona or Superbird (not with a partner/spouse/friend/significant other)? The time period doesn't matter: could be new off the showroom floor, in the past sometime, or current owner.

I am sure the Dodge Daytona had a very slight aerodynamic advantage over the Superbird, but I don't believe the Superbird wing and nose was ever compromised/modified by Chrysler's styling department...
This article states Mario Rossi's 305 CID Dodge Daytona was found and was supposed to be restored by 2017. Was it?
