there are so few original owner muscle cars anymore, I'm shocked to find this Daytona's original owner is still alive

great choice of rims too

body colored bumpers and hidden headlights, terrific combo

muscle cars look better with race numbers on the doors

a Grandma car if there ever was one, a slant 6 Barracuda (it's a travesty to have an underpowered car with a cool aggressive name)

Gremmy!

 

just needs some sponsor stickers and racing numbers on the doors

it's rare to see musclecars in raw metal, showing where the repairs were made

How to make a 72 look better, give it 71 gills, and an AAR hood

A Duster a Demon a Dart

You just don't expect to see a chopped top at a musclecar show, but this late 50s Custom Royal had the custom in spades

nice GTX, great license plate

best real car story I've learned in a while, Victor's R/T was a dealership showroom draw

the dealership was in central LA, and special ordered this R/T to be catnip to Mopar musclecar buyers, and intended to race it when the 1970 model came along a year later to replace it in the showroom.

But a guy came in who wouldn't be denied, and paid what the dealership who didn't want to sell it, demanded. 

He died within the decade, and his widow then drove it as a daily commuter. It's a Super Track Pak 4.11 geared Dana 60, 727, 440 4 barrel.... but it wasn't able to run forever without oil added, and soon windowed the block with the #2 cylinder piston. 

She had it taken to the nearby service station who replaced the block, and dumped the ventilated one in the alley behind the service bay... 

About this time, a car finder was out getting the local kids hired on a muscle car search party, handing them photos of the cars he was out to locate. One of the kids saw this getting the engine replaced, let him know where it was, he contacted the widow who was read to sell, and Victor bought it from the finder for a good 200 dollar fee. 

This was in the early 80s, and he set about restoring it, after the original block was grabbed before it could be sent to the junkyard. The original block was a condition of the purchase, as Victor was an NCRS Corvette guy, and matching numbers stuff is critical to them. 

He cleaned up and restored the original parts, had the block welded and fixed, and has only driven it 1000 miles since finishing the restoration. It hasn't left the garage in a decade, and this was it's first day out breaking the long hibernation. 

cool stuff from Nascar's glory days

I've never heard of the 1974 Satellite Sundance, but they only made about 300 of them, and they aren't desirable in any way, so it's not any surprise they are forgotten

1974 was a end run year, the Satellite body was only given minor updates mainly for emissions and safety compliance. The series trim level started with Satellite, Satellite Custom, Roadrunner occupied the performance end while Sebring and Sebring Plus took care of the premium trim series.

the Sundance coupe which offered a unique set of graphics on the hood and sail panels and a special interior to coordinate with the metallic gold paint. It was a Spring Promo based on the Sebring Plus model. The Sundance option gave you a special interior with white vinyl bolsters and Sundance pattern cloth inserts on door panels and seats. The exterior received Sundance sail panel decals, grille header panel decal.

Super Stock Hurst Barracuda don't come up for sale very often, and they are very expensive, but this replica seems reasonable at 90k

I dig it, and the seats make it awesome

found in the swap meet at the Van Nuys Mopar Spring Fling

the tools were great quality, there were Snap On, Proto, Craftsman, Mac, Williams, etc and the prices were surprisingly good

this would be cooler if the shifter was turned 180 degrees
