39,000 mile Superbird (part 3) 12 Years Later

http://stores.ebay.com/XXCARGUY-Automotive-Art-Works/DODGE-/_i.html?_nkw=super+bird&submit=Search&_fsub=4033872&_sid=39869436





























If I left one note about buying the Daytona I must have left 100. On this perticular day I stopped by and left my usual note and phone number. After a 30 mile drive home I listened to the only message on the phone machine and it was the owners wife(the new owner) asking me if I could come get the Daytona and if I would still give her $800.00 for it?


Wow! I could barely dial the phone. I told her yes I would still give her the $800.00. The next question she asked kept me awake at night for 6 months. "What about the other one?"she asked. Well I'm not sure which one? She told me the Superbird would be hers in the divorce and she was trying to get the Charger also. All I could say was yes.


The next day we brought a trailer down to get the Daytona. I noticed that the car was pushed forward to make room for '73 Charger 318,auto, green with green interior. The only way they could close the gate behind the '73 was to push the Datona into a tree and crush the nose.


6 months later I got the call I have been waiting for all my life! Please read next post. "The Beat Goes On"

39,000 mile Petty Blue Superbird

Part 1 of 15

I was told about this car in 1984. Not true, I was told about the Daytona in the back yard. I knocked on the door one afternoon and asked if the wing car in the back was for sale, the answer was no. I asked if I could go home and get a camera and come back in a short while, the answer was yes.


The side gates to the backyard was locked and it was easier to take me through the house and lead me into the garage and out the rear door. The garage was a small two car and inside was a lot of stuff piled on two of the coolest cars built. I'm not sure but I think he really wanted to show these cars off also.
