A Phoenix Daytona
We’re all for saving/restoring every Mopar that has led a rough life, especially a winged warrior. However, there comes a point where you simply have no choice but to say a small prayer then scavenge it for parts. This 1969 Charger Daytona was bulldozed into a ravine to make way for a dam! Per the story at BangShift, the plan is to rebuild the poor girl. That would be great but the result would simply be a 1969 Charger with a nose cone, wing, window plug and a Daytona VIN.
