Expensive taste them mopars aint cheap

@@ericnoble3475 especially these in particular, I remember a friends mom had a mint 340 Cuda with like 28K miles on it when I was in high school, late 90's, i don't remember what she sold it for but I remember her turning down 30K for it on several occasions

Sad thing is that there were conversion kits back then to turn them back into chargers

@@ericnoble3475 very true lad

They don't deserve to be preserve they deserve to get raced.

Back when dealers would left you drive off with the car, go pick up the family, and see how they liked it. Often you could keep it overnight and for some customers, for the weekend.

​@@tommissouri4871They couldn't give away Superbirds, lol.

No doubt.

@@waynewilliams5802 how do you manage to browse the internet when you're this blind

Prb used music because all u would hear is the drone props. But I agree

I have never even seen either of these cars in person so I am sooo jealous that he has multiple ones, not that I could afford to buy or restore one, so I guess it evens out.

@@highjix When I was a kid in the early 70's there was a yellow Daytona just like the one in this video that sat on a used car lot down the road from our house for well over a year that they couldn't sell, it's price continually dropped until they finally got rid of it. I remember seeing it covered in snow from my bedroom window and the wing on the back was the only way you could tell it from all the other snow covered cars, people go crazy about cars like this now but the fact is back in the day hardly anyone wanted them.

@@dukecraig2402 yep pretty much,they were built to win on the speedways on Sunday and to sell cars on Monday’s.

@@jcnpresser It got even worse for cars of that era further down the line, by the time I was in high school in the early 80's your average late 60's early 70's muscle type cars were going from $500 to $1500 depending on condition, now that doesn't include some late 60's COPO Camaro of course and by then the aero cars like one of these started to rise in price, but your run of the mill V8 powered Camaros and Mustang's and Polara's went for that kind of money, high school kids with after school jobs could buy them because by the early 80's no one wanted a 10 to 15 year old car that was a notorious gas guzzler, the general public didn't want something like that and the only people that cared about them were gear heads, and back then your average dentist or doctor weren't gear heads, they're the ones nowadays that are driving the prices of cars like that through the roof, but back then they didn't care about them, back in those days people with money considered something like that a bad investment.

He got 3

Thanks Duston! More to come soon. Bob

@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism 2 totally different cars... 69 Daytona is a charger.... 70 superbird is a roadrunner... body panels are different

@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism this is a comparison between a Charger Daytona and a Road Runner Super bird! They both are factory original. Not a Charger and a Road Runner. Next time know what you're talking about before trying to sound like it! Js

@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism Listen to the very first statement in the video again.

@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism did you watch the god damn video?

​@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism 'Differences between a Plymouth Superbird and a Dodge Daytona Charger', the title of the video

well no, actually they did not, the winged cars only won 12 nascar races in 1970 compared to 26 for their standard Road Runners and Chargers.

@@davidthayer6969 I didn't say they won more than anyone else. This was the car that brought petty back to Plymouth. It was the car that Bobby Isaac's drove over 200 mph. They were the most far out thing Detroit ever produced. 1970 was the best year for every muscle car made. LS6 450 hp 454 chevelles, 427 copo yenkos camaros, novas and chevelles, Baldwin motion cars, ,L88 Corvettes, stage 4 ram air GTOs, 440 six pack challengers, 426 hemi cudas, runners with ramcharger and air grabber pop up hoods ( most menacing deterrent for opposition on the street.) coolest item ever put on any muscle car. There were 455 GSX Buicks, 396/427 SS novas boss 429 mustangs. 428 cobra jet cyclones, AMC 390 scramblers Yeah. R/T charger 440and hemi coronets, super bees and chargers. Every car was at the peak performance, design and horsepower. 1970 was the best by far

@@held1823 exactly it's almost like they got banned from racing or something

@@held1823 I was agreeing with you, sarcasm doesn't come across well online sorry for the misunderstanding hah! I was more so referring to the other person not paying attention to win % etc.

@@held1823 ah that's fair haha for the record I enjoyed it lol

I am embarrassed to say they were so weird back then they were just too crazy!. Thanks Gary

Fastest production cars in the World in 1969-71. That’s not weird.

They were just unusual and a little to far ahead of their time It’s like Black Sabbath in 1969 creating heavy metal before guitar shredding was even a thing At a time where fast was medium speed and muscle cars where still growing

I had a 69 Buick GS with a 400 CI "slap stick" automatic transmission. It would have embarrassed either of these posers. That goofy spoiler served absolutely no purpose below 180 mph, and that nose cone was just an add on to allow for retractable headlights, that proved to be a nightmare for those stupid enough to buy either of those cars. Constant maintenance onnnthe lights and overheating issues. Most of the people I ran with in those days thought Mopar was a joke, except the Plymouth Challenger, it was an awesome design.

The rest of us laughed at you on race day. Maybe you shouldn't include what car you had when attempting to down a Mopar. 🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣

Hahahaha

That movie cracks me up lol

Anyway, they are diffrent

Also, as it bleeds off air it aids in brake cooling. Take Care All

one example is the AMG project one in "race mode" but theirs are just flaps that fold down but same concept

From what Ive heard, the vents are to allow more clearance for the wheels. If you didnt race or intend to race the car there is no hole, but the vent is still installed.

@@dezznutz3743 they allow more clearance but there mainly for reducing drag.

@grey5135, those front fender bumps/scoops were for tire clearance and not for heat venting

Haha yeah, easy to be clever in 2021, who could have imagined? Would easily choose to go back there and buy a few of them, long term storage and just wait cause today they would be worth a fortune

I have MY 71 RR that I bought as first car Dad said no to the Daytona in 73 because he thought it was ugly!

Yeh, my first thought was designed by a 4 year old on the kitchen table with a box of crayons!

While they are collectible, aesthetically they are atrocious in design. Heavy, disproportionate, American junk design. Its not an appealing looking car I don’t know why people are into these, especially when there are plenty of other American muscle cars that look so much better

I agree with your dad!

I noticed that!

Chevy = 💩💩💩💩 😝

lmaoo beat into submission I gotta use that when talking about the F4 phantom

Those were great times to be alive.

Those were the days indeed. I have a couple #s 340 cars, but no sixpac

Thats roughly 50k in today's money. Thats crazy man.

Owned a 70 roadrunner 440 pistol grip 4 spd. 70 challenger 383 auto, 70 amx 390 4spd. 70 chevelle 375hp 4spd all at different times. Believe it or not challenger was fastest at 154 mph, while amx was quickest to about 90. Now that I'm old I've got a little black 67 camaro that pulls a sub 11 qtr mile and my grandsons don't yet appreciate!

@@kingboagart899 I'm about to start working on cars myself. Im looking at getting 83 3rd gen Camaro to start working on. I could get a 2019 1SS, but I love the older muscle man.

@Peter Angles 😂 no Camry, an Acura MDX, but would love a Subaru or a Mazda Miata with a standard tranny to race through the Santa Cruz mountains. As for the Superbird, at speed on the freeways, the aerodynamics kicked in by pushing it down. Yes, on mountain roads it sucked, and the brakes on cars back then were garbage after a few hard slow downs. But FUN to drive.

Elkton Ky here !!!

I loved Covington i also lived in Florence for awhile....ive lived every where snd some the best times in kentucky

99% sure that car is still kicking. There's an orange Daytona that shows up to Cincinnati Cars and Coffee sometimes.

Pretty sure that ended up in possession of a family friend who is deceased now. he used to have pictures of one beat to hell he restored and sold it sometime in the 90s if it’s the same one . If I can get pics I’ll post one who knows.

sorry, I am a roadrunner fan so for me I would want the superbird with the roadrunner on the wing :D now that I think about it, didn't the superbirds have the roadrunnner carton character horn?

Appreciate it Tripp, and your screenname is a good number!

You are 100% correct Scott-we need to show that plug and those braces, and we will, promise. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Bob

That's pretty damn sad, but probably true. ;-)

Thanks Eric!

Don't.

@@richsackett3423 do.

Its for clearance so the tires wouldnt rub.

Hello Chris, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.

@@thefreestylefrEaK It’s pronounced Dirté but yeah

Yo people underestimate us young people.

@@jaxx_eclipse right

same here!

Had a ‘68 Fury but didn’t have overheating issues.

Dad had a 70 or 72 Fury and it had a 440cid. The engine bay made the 440 look tiny. A school bus fell on top of it and car roof dented very little while the kids were evacuating from bus. It was a tank to say the least.

Here's a fun (or not so fun) fact for you, the Daytona in the movie Joe Dirt was a real Daytona and not a conversion as most people assume, the scene where the rear wing gets ripped off was a wooden mockup that was used for that scene only, the car is an actual collector grade Daytona that was "uglied up" by the Hollywood crew with special paint that'll wash off that gave it that weathered rust bucket look, about 6 years ago it was for sale, the owner left it in the condition it was for the movie hoping it would sell for more than a regular Daytona having it's movie tie in, it was listed with all the original parts to convert it back over from it's movie mods.

@@dukecraig2402 that movie is honestly what got me interested in the car before I started diving into stock car history. Which is funny enough

@@trentwatts3997 Yea it's a hysterical movie, and when I read about the car being for sale and saw pictures of it before the Hollywood people worked it over I couldn't believe it was a real Daytona, I expected it to be a mock up based on a regular Charger, as I recall it's actually that Plum Crazy color underneath the temporary paint job, if you watch the movie you can see a shot of him in the car at the booth where the security guard gives him a hard time, if you pause and look past him at the inside of the passenger door you can see purple (if I remember correctly) overspray on the door as would be expected from a factory paint job and that piece of translucent plastic that's under the door panel which was removed as part of uglying it up for the movie.

@@dukecraig2402 440 six pack car i think it was.
