69 Hemi Daytona seized by IRS up for auction

If you read the fine print in the ad, you are bidding on only the rights the IRS have in it. So if the owner owes $200K in taxes, and the car is worth $400K, you end up only getting a partial ownership interest in the car. That means more lawsuits and a possible extra amount of $$$$$$ to buy out the owner's interest.

I've never really been a follower of the wing'ed cars. Aren't Charger Daytonas much more rare than the Plymouth Superbirds? Anyway, those cars could possibly be considered the highpoint of the American Musclecar. NOTHING else was "louder". If I wanted to define an American Musclecar to a complete stranger to this culture, all I would have to do is show a photo of a Daytona/Superbird! No other words would be required.

Yup, 503 Daytonas to 1920 Superbirds.

503 total Daytona's.
70 HEMI Daytona's
22 four speed HEMI Daytona's
9 four speed HEMI Daytona's still survive according to this site www. superbirdclub.com

Also, the Daytonas were available in any color made by Dodge that year. Just about any one of them could be a 1 of 1 combination. I had a Y2 Yellow HEMI, automatic, Daytona with the black cloth insert interior - a 1 of 1 oddball.

The Superbirds were restricted to a handlful of colors and no other real option choices.
