Yet another restored Daytona... yawn... boring. I'd leave that car exactly as it is, all the character and all. But, that's just me.
I agree!

I have a few pictures from Brice on Friday night. I don't think I took a single photo Saturday. I still don't know how to get pics from my iPhone to here.
Dang, I didn't take any "rear end" shots like you guys did. LOL
Nice pictures Bill, you captured some hotties rayer:
What's the story with the banged up Daytona?
Funny...ma snart took pics of every pit neighbor of mine but no shots of my car!! Must have something against GTX's!!LOL!! Ian and i made it over to the tent to say hi but got called back to the swap area to sell the guy withbthat green 66 cuda a pair of fenders for his project!! Never made it back up!! Sorry guys, we really wanted to say hi to everyone!! Geof
I think you meant Palmer Dodge in Indy (owned by Eldon Palmer, the driver of the famous 71 Challenger Pace Car that wrecked in the Indy 500)The banged up daytona was sold new at Eldon Dodge in Indy and smashed up early in life and left for dead in a junkyard. It was bought by a winged car guy named logan and dragged to his house and put to pasture. Now sold again, there is a fresh motor stuffed into what is otherwise a completely fresh field find body.'as we speak, it is being disassembled for a complete resto!!! Geof
The owner of this Superbird is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! He came over and offered to help out when the power steering pump went out on my Aspen and took me over to a garage to have the pulley taken off of my old pump and pressing it on the new one. Oreilly's couldn't get a pump for a 1976 Aspen until Monday at 10:30 but could get one for a 1980 Aspen Friday morning at 8:30.(it was Thursday evening at about 8:00pm)Thinking there should be no difference but there was a slight difference.....the 76 pressure line was a compression fit and the 80 is an "o" ring fit sooooo I called O'reilly's and he couldn't get one for about 3 days but would search other sources. Meanwhile Hutch found one online at Auto Zone just about a block off of Brice Road. I called to make sure they did really have it and they did! (luck) Couldn't drive the Aspen so it was the Superbird to the rescue! While checking out I heard the 'bird owner asking one of the employees if they sold carburetors and he said only edelbrock so I told him Jegs was just a block down the street. He said no way! I said sure Columbus is their home town, so we went to Jegs and killed 2 birds with 1 stone....and by the way he is NOT going to restore the 'bird cause it has too much history! I told him it was the coolest Taxi I ever had the pleasure of riding in.Crusin' along at 80+
I believe it's a 1968 Joe but the bed and stepside fenders look just like the ones on my 1977 I owned many years ago.anyone know what year this thing is??
ha ha, busted !
Which GTX was yours? I walked the pits a couple times.. Love looking at all the cars..
