My brother found his Daytona in Corpus Christi around 1973 but sold it in 1976. In the divorce, she got the 72 Datsun, I got the Daytona!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could undergo restorations like our cars?
Congrats, Jim. A lot of us can relate to all the "life" one goes through with our cars,
but yours is truly a unique story - one the magazines should interview you about methinks.

This is really cool. Not too many original owners on here, I think. What did it end up costing you out the door, if I may ask?

We've heard that the paint jobs were awful from the factory. Being an original owner, what have you got to say? Also, were the full quarters repainted or just the tops of them?

If it's anything less than $4500 I swear I'll jump off of a bridge out of insane jealousy...

Congrats . Does anyone know why Daytona’s were not made in 1970 like the Superbird?

Q &A The 68 Charger in the picture was my brothers car. We lost him last year so now his boys have that car. The Daytona had a sticker price of $4444.40 but negotiated it down to $3909.52. Out the door was $4150.00. To be honest, when I drove away from the dealer, I had no idea how I was going to make the payments.
