Anyone ever heard of one of these? For the price they're asking it would almost have to be legit

It was a dealer created car. Over the years there were rumors of 3 1970 model year cars having been built. Numerous fake cars have surfaced ( a lot more than 3) but none with documentation have been found to date. Mopar Collectors Guide had a nice article debunking this car a few issues back.

I read that too...very elaborate hoax if this is the same car...

It's the same car. This dealer has had it for the past 20 years or so. If he removed the wing and nose and converted it back to what it should be, the car would be worth quite a bit: It's a 1970 Charger R/T 440 Six Pack four-speed, factory sunroof car. There is only one other known to exist and it's pink with a white top.

So did he actually hurt the cars value by creating this Daytona?

Ok, now this has peeked my interest. I have always liked these cars having owned a few Mopars in my life time.

Just what would be the expected value of the car if it was put back original?

Steve said that only one other is known to exist.

We all know not as much as a real Daytona but buying a fake car at a reasonable price to get a real rare car might be worth while. If you can get the buyer to choke and sell it for what it is.

Just a thought and interesting.

Nothing about this car(in its current configuration)is desirable to me. Its a clone in my eyes. Thats fine! Valuable? Not to me. Maybe to others. Patrick
