Jalopnik’s 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona Review
Jalopnik recently drove a 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona all over Texas, and managed to snap a pic of it in front of the “Playboy Marfa” art installation I told you about last month. Although the reviewer seemed to like the car, he was disappointed by the 5-speed automatic and the quiet exhaust note. Oh, and the fuel economy. Well, the exhaust is an easy fix. Read the full review at Jalopnik and see what you think.
Lee Sicilio’s 1969 Dodge Daytona at Bonneville
Last year Bangshift ran this great feature on Lee Sicilio’s 1969 Dodge Daytona and his attempt to hit 300 mph at Bonneville. Well, he came back this year but his tranny blew up up 250 mph. There’s always next year…
1966 Dodge Charger Daytona Conversion at the Woodward Dream Cruise
This is the fourth strange Dayotona conversion we’ve shown you recently. If you missed the others there was the 1974 Charger Daytona convertion, the 1973 Charger Daytona conversion and the 1969 Coronet Daytona conversion. This 1966 Charger Daytona spotted at the Woodward Dream Cruise oddly works better than most. What do you think? Via the Dodge Facebook page
SRT Viper Event in a 1969 Dodge Daytona
Mike Musto and I attended a SRT Viper event last week in his badass Daytona. I already showed you the pics. Now you can check out the video after the jump!
SRT Viper Presentation in San Carlos, California
Yesterday I drove out to a cool SRT Viper event in San Carlos with my buddy Mike Musto in his 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. I’ll try to post some video next week (I hope, if I can edit it into something half decent) but for now I thought you’d like to see the pics.
The event was sponsored by the Western Automotive Journalists and featured author Maurice Liang along with President and CEO of SRT Ralph Gilles. Maurice Liang is the founder of the Viper Club of America and just published SRT Viper: America’s Supercar Returns. Maurice talked about writing the book and everything that went into designing and building the third generation Viper. Then it was Ralph’s turn, and he talked about how important the Viper is to Chrysler, and how much Viper owners and Mopar enthusiasts mean to the company (and in attendance was D’Anne Rauh, who owns over 60 Vipers).
When the Q and A portion came around, I asked Ralph about the new RWD Alfa platform and what that might mean for Dodge. No comment from Ralph on that one…
The event was held at Sparky’s Hot Rod Garage, which was filled with a lot of 50s and 60s nostalgia. There was good food and cold beer. And when we were done we went back outside to check out the cars some more. Thanks to SRT and WAJ for putting on this cool event. TONS more pics after the jump!
Yet Another Weird Daytona Conversion
Ok, so we’ve seen a few odd Daytona conversions lately. There was this 1974 Dodge Charger “Daytona” on Craigslist. Then there was this 1973 Dodge Charger “Daytona” on eBay. But those were both fairly recent. This is an older conversion. It looks like they started with a 1969 Dodge Coronet or Super Bee. This one is seriously 70s funky. These pics are old and no one seems to know what happened to the car. More barn pics after the jump! Via Moparts and Scale Auto Magazine
1973 Dodge Charger “Daytona” on eBay
Here’s another weird Daytona conversion for you guys. Two weeks ago I showed you this 1974 Dodge Charger “Daytona” on Craigslist. Well here’s a ’73 that was listed on eBay last week. Looks like it was bid up to $4,000 with the reserve not met. I don’t know, I’m thinking the seller should have taken the money and run. Check out more pics after the jump, including pics of the interior with what looks like an A-body center console.
Cotton Owens 1970 Dodge Charger Daytona For Sale
Although this Daytona has a spotty race history with a bunch of DNFs, it is also the first car to do a lap at NASCAR at over 200 MPH (with famed driver Buddy Baker behind the wheel). And it did score first place at the Darlington Southern 500, again with Buddy driving. I don’t see a price listed, but Bob Severin posted on our Facebook page that it’s listed at Canepa in Scotts Valley, Califonia for $850,000. It’s also totally unrestored, which is super cool. More pics after the jump!
1974 Dodge Charger “Daytona” on Craigslist
Now here’s a wild custom for you: a 1974 Dodge Charger done up to look like a Daytona. Sort of… Seems fairly well done, and of course you can’t argue with a 440 under the hood. What do you think? Seller is asking $35,000. More pics plus the Craigslist ad text after the jump!
