Cool pic!!! what happened to the Daytona?

[/ QUOTE ]

The Daytona was a one of one: the only Y2 yellow hemi built with the optional deluxe cloth insert interior. I sold the Daytona back in 1996 when the hemi market dipped and I wanted to buy a new Viper coupe. I had about 140k into it and I had trouble selling it. It eventually went for 80K. That same car sold about a year and a half ago for 630K. I guess that serves as a lesson about selling during perceived drops in market prices. Like real estate and its 7-year cycles, muscle cars have the same cyclic pricing wave. So if you all didnt sell your cars 2 years ago, I would be holding them for another few years and enjoying them til the wave comes back up again.
