I totally agree, but historic significance seems to be only a small fraction of the market price pie. I have always felt that the '66 Hemi Satellite or '67 Hemi GTX should be the top dog based on history alone. Richard Petty's record 27 wins in 1967 with this configuration has never been topped, and you could buy the same basic car off the showroom floor that year. Hasn't happened since.
Pointed nose and a big ***?
Did 'em all the time. You wouldn't be caught dead with stock wheels/caps or wheel covers back in the day.
Nobody wanted convertibles, wing cars, 4-doors, or air conditioning when these cars were new. Hell, even power steering was a debatable option.
Didn't see this cross the block, but this was my first Muscle car & first Mopar in 1981. Never looked back after that car & owned only Mopar products ever since. I still love this body style till this day.
And that Daytona sells today.

All my GTXs got switched to Magnum 500s, unless they came that way (two did). Until now. I never owned a Hemi car back in the day, way beyond my means, even when they were somewhat affordable. The only contact I had with them was drooling over the two examples our dealer had on the lot when they were new, and of course they came with dog dish caps and steelies. So now that I have one, I've kept the factory caps in place. That's the memory I'm trying to relive with this car, the way it would have looked when I was a kid fantasizing in the show room.
Hegerty uses actual sales results in their figures, including auctions like Mecum.
I love that look. Always have, always will. Your GTX looks like a sleeper with the steelies & dog dishes.
A few years ago there were two 66 Hemi Satellite convertibles sold both 4 speeds one $132k other $214k with fees. Haggerty had them both in sales chart. What I'm thinking which is more desirable a 66 Hemi Satellite vert or a 67 Hemi GTX vert. Had my car 44 years been thinking about selling.
