Default RE: Drove an auto black R/T today! Dissappointed at lack of power.



There were actually 3 1970 Chargers made with the "Daytona Conversion Package" (I've actually seen one, so I know they exist - probably the only one left). All they had were the Daytona's nose and wing - they didn't have the flush rear window, fender scoops on top of the front fenders or the chrome A-pillar posts.

I guess a dodge dealer can put whatever they want on their cars.(even a superbee decal on anything they want too}
Even a nose and wing if the dealers wants too...........
But as I said DODGE didnot make any 1970 Daytonas...........
Yep I guess you could have a Clone of anything,,,but if you want to clone a car
I would think 99% would make the clone the same year as the real car that came out...
Maybe you were also in a 1970 Clone also lol

But there is a rumour that there are 3 1970 Daytona's

As I said I think100% the 3 were put together by a dealer....................

Not sure why all the talk about Daytona's, but I have a feeling it's due to my signature line. Let me say here and now....there were NEVER any legit 1970 Daytona's......the three that everyone refers to were built by dealers, not the factory. This subject has been covered in depth by both the wingcar club and "Mopar Collector's Guide". Anyone interested in wingcars should checkout Dodge Charger.com for more information. At one time I owned an orignial Hemi 4-speed Superbird (wish I still had it...but that's another story) And I have never ever tried to past my Daytona clone off as anything but what it is......a clone built by yours truly. And yes there are a lot of 1970 clones running around, because you need 70 fenders and hood to build a Daytona. There are also a lot of 1969 clones running around with 70 fenders and hood. Anyone who buys one of these clones thinking they are orignal......didn't do their homework...to easy to prove otherwise. Same goes for those who buy cloned Hemi cars....do your homework and remember "buyer beware"! Anyone who might be looking for a "lost" Superbird should checkout ads for 1970 Roadrunners...have find two in past that were really Superbirds minus the nose and rear spoiler.....just look for the special rear window.......just don't hold your breath. I love wingcars...but I am having a love affair with my new Challenger.
