You know this man is hardcore when he sounded genuinely upset that the presumably original brake shoes were cracked.

Class Act. This car landed in the right hands.

Wonderful communicator and dialogue! Thank you for sharing the story, much enjoyed!

These cars are such a big part of history. Thank you for keeping them alive

Its amazing how these cars are still around. Definitely a piece of history here. Enjoyed your video.

Hi Bob, 16 July 2023 - Just stopped by to see how things are going. Your Hemi Dayton is looking great and running well. She was the best of out 3 Hemi Cars. Thanks for taking such good care of her. Best Always Christine for the 426 Hemi Chicks

These old cars and their stories are wonderful. I loved the cars when they were new, and I still love them now. Great video.

My father owned Race Motor Sales, the selling dealer and I drove the Daytona before it was sold.

So cool! My favorite car of all time, thanks to 6 year old me watching Joe Dirt when it came out. I love that you're saving everything as much as possible to keep it original. That's exactly what I would do. Don't wash it! It looks perfect the way it is. I'd love to see this thing in person.

Well I am for sure one that has NOTHING but admiration for someone that has found and keeps any of these cars up and running. The first time I saw one of these I was 9 years old and it was in 1970 I just thought WOW a ENGINEER MASTERPIECE then I heard they were running them at NASCAR and that just SOLIDIFIED that thought in my mind! But never have had money or opportunity come together at the same time. So I am glad there are people that care about and for these cars and keep at lest one together for me when those two events come together for me to own one of these TIME CAPSULES! Thank you for your time, effort and allowing people like me to see them!

I could talk with this guy for days and not get bored... would love to see his collection..he is the guy who should own this car because he loves and respects them. Great video

Glad this smart man is the new owner and keeps American muscle in it's original condition for as long as he is alive. He is a rare breed like the cars he loves. Thank you Sir!

i would prime the engine then remove all the spark plugs and spray some lube in so you get some upper cylinder lube and slowly bar the engine over a few rotation before even using the starter. maybe a good thing to remove the valve covers too to make sure none of the valves are stuck open it will really suck having a struck valve and the piston slap the valve and bend it that's why it's best to bar the engine over before cranking it with the starter

Original dust is even better than original patina!Awesome car and preservation.

What a Princess of a car…..and you’re treating HER like Royalty. Thank you for posting this video and thank you for breathing new life into that Gem….Mac

In the early '80s, a friend and I went to a closed Chrysler dealership in Michigan to look at a Mopar collection. One of the cars was a yellow Superbird, 440, auto. It had something like a 2.74 rear end. It also had a trailer hitch. The woman who owned the car originally used it to tow her boat.

What a great find!!!!!

This is just fantastic! This Daytona is in the right hands!

Big Fan of this fella' ! His passion for these two models is clearly evident. Many Thanks Yo ! 💥 💯 💥

Hang on a sec, I have to pick my jaw up off the floor.... One thing's for sure: it's good to be the king! It's hard to be jealous of this fella though, well off as he is - he IS trying to be a good steward of the cars and doesn't mind sharing them with us - and that is the heart and soul of our hobby - us being good stewards so that the next generation can also enjoy these cars as they were built! -Ed on the Ridge

Love the car, my sister drove my Dad's Daytona to HS back in the 70s as I'm 6 yrs younger and was always jealous. Dad also had a 69 charger 500. He was an engineer at highland pk. I lost my dad last yr he would have really enjoyed seeing this video as I have. I just found some photos of his of winged cars lined up either at creative or Chrysler that are press photos. I'm an E body guy myself have three, one which I drove in HS and bought in 1980 and still own. Love the videos and glad to have found ya. Dad always said only original one...

I love that the only part of this video that raised my eyebrows was addressed in the description. I also love that Bob's shop is in my home state of Indiana. Well done!

I am so grateful for people like Mr. Jennings that preserve these beautiful machines.

awesome car and still in incredible condition. I have to admit, I dont understand the fascination with keeping the "barn find dirt" on these cars that people rescue. Take pictures, then wash it. Not my car, though.

I would be as excited as this guy is if I owned this car.

Just love these cars thanks for your time and effort video and preservation

Beautiful! Thank you so much for the love, respect and care you are giving to the car and the restoration of this remarkable piece of automotive history. Looking forward to seeing and hearing it running once again.

I applaud your respect for the car's heritage.

Great video, amazing car. I liked the closing comment also.

I love the Daytona. And I also love the SuperBirds. I can never afford one but wish I could one day. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic !!! What ever you decide to do I know will be the right thing. Cant wait to see it started. Thanks for rescuing and preserving this special car .

Awesome!! I love your plan with the car. Perfect to preserve a so original car. I so look forward to seeing the progress. Thank you for sharing!!!!

The car is cool. The owner is too. I think they belong together.

Thank you for sharing. Absolutely love those cars. I appreciate all of the insight you’ve shared on this video. Thanks again.

Thanks Mr Jennings for helping to keep the great Mopar history alive and well.

So happy you are living your life this way. You must be so happy

I am that Jack T that purchased the very car from race motors in 1969, have new photos and original title !

Absolutely spectacular!!!!! Thank you for preserving it "as original"!!!!! Beautiful.

Yeah don't wash it just rinse'er off. This guys take on keeping it really original is outstanding. As a mopar tech and resto guy it has always pained me to make some of the cars I've worked on through the yrs look "new" rather perfect a way in which it never looked. Nothing excites me more than to see an old mopar with some patina on it. Well done sir.

AWESOME!!!!!!!! I'd be happy just sweeping the floors in that garage, just to be around those machines

THis car is by far the best hemi charger ive seen that ive wanted some day in my life just to look at wow ! Love the content .

You really got my attention. I have been driving mopar muscle cars for almost 50 yrs. I can't wait to hear that Hemi-Daytona run. It sure is in the right hands Bob. You are doing a great service to the Mopar community and the hobby.

What a truly amazing car n find! I'm glad it's in the hands of someone that has a great head on his shoulder n a great car!

My favorite Mopar ever built!!! They are just unbelievably awesome up close!!!

What an awesome find. Thank you for sharing!

I really enjoyed the passion and integrity... loved the story loved how the info was presented ... keep us updated please......

Man , this guy is truly passionate about this ....nice to see!!

Of course wash it. Or rather, clean it thoroughly. But don't use water - wipe down with lots of damp micro-fibre cloths, including inside all the door jambs and turret curves etc. And even give it a polish, where the paint still is. Clean the glass as well as possible inside and out - it will look exceptional, even with the areas of paint deterioration. Keeping the dust on is just a touch silly.

I lived in Dallas most of my life. I recall a guys house I would pass every day going to/from high school. There was an orange winged car in the garage…not certain if it was a Daytona or Superbird. I never noticed the car move for many years. This was 1974-1977. I now wonder if this could have been that car. Very cool!

Love the aero cars. I once owned a '69 Dodge Charger 500, great car and fun to drive.

Terms like “only original once” “history lesson” and “survivor” are the ONLY correct references to this car. I like your rebuild not replace approach to parts and pieces that must be brought up to standard. We in the Mopar community are so fortunate this car landed with such an insightful car collector. Best wishes, hope to see this one at a Charger gathering alongside my ‘68 R/T a car I’ve owned for almost 50 years 😉

I know some people get carried away with clear coating "patina" cars at shows now days. But this it a perfect candidate for simply cleaning the outside real good and spraying on a compatible clear coat so it can be saved in as found condition as long as posssible.

Get Christine on the channel....she sounds like a plethra of Mopar knowledge

I like how you tell trolls to step off! Nice!!👍👍👍

back in the day I owned a purple daytona that looke a lot like the one on the lift in the background. My Wifes grandfather bought a Brand New blue Superbird and had the dealer deliver it to his house on Chistmas day in 1970

Met this man the other day,really nice man

oh how I love these cars thanks for showing it

Amazing find ! Beautiful car

Great find can’t wait to hear it running 👍

I recall one of these running around the Lebanon Indiana area around 1979/80 time frame.

Awesome ❤️ I'm the 50th subscriber ✔️ Hoping to see more videos 🙏🏻 Love from India ❣️

This guys shop is heavenly

Fantastic collection

Awesome beast . Good to know it will be looked after correctly.

What a gem. This is the perfect guy to own the car. Perfect plate name too.

Incredible stuff 👍

Amazing I love these winged cars awesome collection well done 👍🏻.

Met Mr. Jennings at Mopars at the Battleship last weekend. Great guy. Will talk wing cars all day.

Awesome car and video can’t wait to see it run

Awesome history,love these mopars

7:39 I see a little paw print above the charger emblem. What a beautiful car, wonderful to have and cherish.

My father was Chryslers top salesman in the United States in 1969, he worked for Bill Swad Chrysler Plymouth in Columbus Ohio, he drove me to school everyday in a Superbird.

In 1976 I bought my girlfriends 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum for $1500 bucks (she wanted a Mustang). That car was fully loaded and super comfy to drive. I blew the engine (drag racing) and gave the body away. I've had tons of hotrods, but that Charger is the one I miss most. BTW, Wash the Car!

Great find beautiful time capsule

Fantastic cars. One bad ass Daytona as well.

Nice! This guy is the perfect guy to look after this car. His enthusiasm shows through. I would love to see the entire car detailed thoroughly though, i am not an expert but i cant see how making that original paint as good as it can be would detract from its originality at all.

Wow, you got a very rare gem there. It's in good hands there for sure. Drive and enjoy it.

Those Daytonas look best in orange with those hubcaps, perfect. My old black 72 Roadrunner still had original paint, jeez they were ordinary paintjobs really...

I like this guy And I love his garage

Great find and purchase. Hope to see it in Chicago November 2021.

Take to the big show. Then wash it. Do not wax it. Just get the dust off. Great car and great video. Thank you. Norm in Indy.

This is so awesome..thanks for this vid..💪♥️😎🤙

Dont get cooler than this car 👑

Great great story & video. Congratulations on a magnificent piece of history. Great job on the interior too. That said I would also do a deep cleaning with a cleaner preservative. I would also fix the rust on the lower part of the rear window and what I thought was rust under the rear deck lid, the edge closest to the rear window. That just my 2 cents worth since it didn’t have rust from the factory. Clay bar the finish, buff it out and then do the body. The paint can be matched for fade so it looks perfect should it have faded a bit. Congrats again!

Answers to questions: they made 503 daytonas and 1920 superbirds per best estimates. Yes i found the build (broadcast) sheet under front carpet. Yes i did get confused on a couple of things-give me a little break im almost 70. Yes, some hemi daytonas had drum brakes. Yes i do drive these cars, future videos might address my trip to alaska ( google alaska highway superbird) or key west, or mobile. Most importantly, thanks for the positive comments. Bob

Extremely Awesome 👍

thanks man good work sir .

Sweet. This Daytona was built on my birthday!

What a time capsule!!

Unbelievable find! Those particular Chargers are very rare and valuable. Save the classics. The Daytona is the ultimate muscle car.

sweet find Gratz

I totally understand the hesitancy to wash it. Its beautiful.

Totally awesome 👍👍🇺🇸

Interesting story and video. Metro Detroit,Loves Muscle Cars!!! G

Nice fellow glad he owns that rare vehicle only because alot of hemi car owners are buyer only this gentlemen loves it lives it

I was 9 years old when these were driving around. People didn't want them. Dealers would take the wing off and nose cone just to sell them

"TROLLS"??? Please, don't you trolls have anything better to do than to rain on someones parade? What This man does is Magnificent!

Give the car a bath, after almost 50 years she has earned it. Leave the rest of it alone except for which needs to be replaced or repaired so it can run and drive. You're on the right track.

I think I would just dust it off but not wash it. What a awesome car nothing better than a Hemi wing car that is all original

Love your passion....... I hope to own a 68 or 69 charger someday.......😃
