About 1983, I bought a 1963 Daytona wagon R1 with the sliding roof. 4speed, all original.
Loaded with high performance parts: t i ign. dual point dist, ft & rear sway bar, dual exhaust, disc brakes, nice gauges, w/160 mph speedo, tach, chrome air cleaner, valve covers, dip stick, ext... Handled great, never felt like I was driving a station wagon. Nice bucket seats/red int. I used it like a truck. I would slide the roof, put the tailgate down, and back 2 dirt bikes in, run out to the desert passing everyone with the a/c on. Also had a blaupunkt radio with a funky reverb setup.
Bought fro an eccentric that lived at the top of the world overlooking Laguna Beach. He came to the door with a black leather vest, and two 6 shooters. Strange car, and owner.
