- 1969 Dodge Daytona Muscle Car Of The Week Video #42
This '69 Charger Daytona in the Brothers Collection is one of 502 built, and 1 of 294 with the 440 engine. With its aerodynamic nose piece and towering rear wing, this is definitely the most outlandish design from the muscle car era. But those features weren't added to shock and sell, they were shaped to be kings of the NASCAR Super Speedways. In this episode of Muscle Car Of The Week, we'll tell you all about it
#musclecar #musclecaroftheweek
Best, most accurate definition of this rare Charger Daytona!
These and the superbirds were the wildest cars to ever come out of Detroit the ultimate muscle car
The 69 Charger Daytona had a more luxurious interior compared to the bare-bones interior of the 70 Roadrunner Superbirds !
If that beauty where any old muscle car it could qualify as car of the week. But she is much more than just any muscle car because there are no cars like MoPaR's, the #1 original all American badass
Dodge had to build a minimum of 500 street-going versions of the Daytona to sell to the public to qualify the design for NASCAR racing.
really when you think of it, now the supercar standard is that it hoes 200mph, so technically since the charger daytona was able to get to 200mph its a supercar
That is a bad ass mean machine. It was truly over the top.
The height of the rear wing also allowed air to travel through it to stabilize the rear end at higher speeds.
A harmony of show and GO! Old MOPARS restored are few and far between, and get the big bucks, crazy money. Did anyone see the HEMI CUDA on one of the auto auctions go over $2million?!? MOPAR has comeback andfrom the dead in the 80's to its past glory and in my opinion has THE line-up of some of the strongest, best looking late model muscle on the road today. The cars I'm personally refurring to is the 2006 Dodge Charger R/T 5.7 HEMI, the 2013 Dodge Charger R/T MAX 5.7 HEMI, lastly the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT 392. AMERICAN MUSCLE RULES!!!
Cool history thanks very much. MOPAR!!!!!!!
I have wanted one of these all my life
Everything about this car is cool.
Thank you for posting your excellent video! Love those Dodge & Plymouth Wing Cars!
Host on point. And nice cars. =great show
I was lucky enough to hear Richard Petty speak of his experiences with the SuperBird in NASCAR and he related how the upright portion of the wing really helped to keep the car going straight. He said it was nearly impossible to 'lose it' because the wing would snap the car straight. I would guess that more engineering went into the height/shape of the wing that meets the eye. Too bad they got banned the next year. I wonder how much better the drag coefficient is on the new cars.....I don't mean the NASCAR race cars(which have nearly nothing in common with production cars) but the cars we buy.
Also the height of the wing was tall so you could open the trunk,and went thru the rear quarter panels down to the frame.
0.28 Cx !!! thats its VERY impresive
Awesome cars an a part of NASCAR history. They were still legal for racing in 1971. But were limited to engine displacement of 305 C.I. or they had to carry more weight with the larger engine displacements effectively making them un competitive . Petty wanted a winged car and Plymouth initially pushed back but caved in when the King switched to Ford. Due to NASACR changing rules they were suppose to build 1 car for every 2 manufacturer dealer which came out to 1920 cars. It was a wild time in NASCAR history.
kevin, I'll keep the nose cone in mind next time I get to park one..... haha
