A friend gave me a heads up about the "Charger" on eBay as well...Didn't see the ad, but sounds like that Purple 70 Charger with the "Daytona conversion package" that started a lot of the confusion surrounding the myth regarding whether Dodge made any "factory" 70 Daytona's.
Which has been proven to be false for a number of reasons;
1. No need as the 69 Daytona was still legal for the 70 season
2. Would have had a hard time moving the cars (Yes, it's hard to believe with their value today, but back in the day..few people really wanted a street Wingcar...example the unsold 70 Superbirds)
3. Safety Regs wouldn't have allowed "any" wingcars built in 1970 due to new regs regarding bumpers. (And, no the feds would not allow the nose to be considered a "Bumper" for 1970.
4. Engineers at Chrysler were already working on the next generation Wingcar based on the to be released 1971 body Dodge Chargers and Plymouth RoadRunners. (They had already done a lot of wind tunnel testing, before the entire project was dropped in late 70..due to NASCARs outlawing all the special bodies....of course there would be Aero Coupe SS Monte's and others later...but no more WINGS)
And, the story regarding Robert G. owning the car...he stated to an auto magazine a few years before his death that in fact he had never owned a Daytona. He did however own a 1971 Charger that was mildly customized by George Barris (mostly paint). There is a picture of this Charger in the Barris book "Cars of the Stars".
Like I said I tried posting a link to the eBay ad for you to see it, but for whatever reason I kept getting a "error" message - it's worth seeing if you have the time (assuming it's still there).
If memory serves (I saw this car over 10 years ago), this wasn't a car that was actually made by Dodge - it was a dealer conversion kit that was done by some dealer in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area. The window sticker even showed a "Daytona Conversion Package" price. I remember it being quite a sight to see, and it obviously isn't the "real" thing, as evidenced by it having the standard Charger rear window (tunneled vs. flush like on the real Daytona), didn't have the chrome A-pillars or the scoops atop the fenders, plus the car has a vinyl roof (and a factory power sunroof, no less).
As far as Robert Goulet being the original owner, I figured that part was probably an urban legend. Lord knows how often stories like that get passed down and changed over the years.
