Thought the article might have been about my chicken wing eating record back in college, albeit, no. As it turns out it’s just about a Daytona. Great article, beautiful car, thanks Prange.

and don't get me wrong, I love those cars for their performance and history, but, for me, they're just ugly AF

Sir, bite your tongue.

When these cars were new, dealers were removing the wings and nose kits because the cars weren't selling.

Now they're worth a freaking fortune.

If only I had a time machine...

The front end is ugly, the rear end is ugly and nothing in between.

There is $265,000 reasons not to consider this car.

Still kicking myself for passing on a pretty nice one back in '95 that was sitting on a lot for $30K & they were willing to negotiate.

 

[Hickster]

Yes, depending if running and driving. That wood have been a good turn around and score. Still wood not keep it.

What kind of grade would you give it?

Or maybe compared with the link, which at least at first glance is pretty nice.

 

[Hickster]

Bad dream,,, again.

I guess I might as well come out of closet, too. I don't like the look either.

 

[Hickster]

Closet,,,,, again.

It was at a classic car place I drove by daily on the way to work in Largo, Fl. The business is no longer there.

Well definitely not 100% like the one in the story here. It looked pretty straight, no visible rust or crappy repair, it started & drove + the trunk was full of misc. parts, some NOS in the boxes. It was a Hemi Orange car, 440 Magnum, 4 speed pistol grip, bench seat. I'd say maybe a 70% car - since I couldn't really afford it at the timer never got a full inspection/road test done, could have been many ugly surprises once on the rack !!

They also had a rare Petty Blue one in the back, unfortunately it was a basket case 'Joe Dirt' car
