A seriously OCD guy bought this Daytona, it was his first car, and after 5169 miles, he built a house to keep it safely on jackstands in a climate-controlled environment, and yes, that is crazy, but true


This was the owner's first new car, which he cherished. In fact, his house was specially designed and built to safely store the Daytona in a climate-controlled environment.

This car was ordered on June 28, 1983, but in 1984 the owner got freaked out that someone might damage his first new car, so he quit driving it. The car was stored on jack stands so the suspension wouldn't settle and the tires wouldn't develop flat spots

  1. a perfectly preserved example of a car that no one remembers or cares about.

    Will what it cost to do all this, I don't know, seems like it could have been better spent.
    OH well, to each his own....

  2. It is a good looking car. But I can only say that I'm glad the owner was this obsessed about his new Daytona and not another human being.

  3. Bought a brand new Daytona and did not get the spoiler package. That look like more the Chrysler Laser that I had in 84. That Laser had the best 4 cylinder engine I ever owned.
