There are numerous six-figure Mopars running around out there, but once a seventh digit is added, it’s proof-positive that something really special is going on. That might be an understatement here, as this 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona here on eBay could easily be one of the most desirable wing cars still in existence, checking off just about every great box that can be had, including the monumental 426 Hemi powerplant. This one’s located in Englewood, Colorado, with the seller hoping for $1,950,000, but he’s wisely also included a make-offer button. This very expensive B-Body should offer Daytona and Superbird fans plenty to smile about, with only one non-original mechanical component that could potentially be considered a small negative. Great find, Curvette, and thanks for sending us another outstanding tip!
E74 is the magic code to look for on the fender tag here, as it indicates this one indeed left the factory with the coveted 425-horsepower 426 Hemi under the hood. It’s confirmed to be the factory engine still in the bay, with the 43,041 miles showing on the odometer believed to be actual. For nearly two million bucks, I’d prefer a 4-speed manual, as you probably would too. On the other hand, the A-727 TorqueFlite is one of mankind’s greatest achievements in the world of vintage automatic transmissions, IMHO, so it’s hardly bad news to find that’s how this car was originally equipped. However, it’s noteworthy that the seller indicates that the TorqueFlite here appears not to be numbers-matching. The correct Sure-Grip Super Performance axle package is present with 4.10 gears inside, so making a quick getaway from green lights won’t be a problem.
The good news doesn’t stop with the 426 status here either, as not only does the exterior appear to remain in excellent condition, but the seller believes this might be the only Hemi Daytona originally painted in B5 Bright Blue Metallic. He also speculates it could be the only remaining car that still falls into the one-owner category, as it’s being sold on consignment by the family of the original buyer, a man named Bob Kerbsat. Apparently, Bob was also a racing fan himself, as he added a Buddy Baker sticker on each side of the wing, the famed NASCAR driver who first broke the 200 MPH barrier at Talladega behind the wheel of a 1969 Charger Daytona.
The interior is thought to be all original, and if that’s the case, it seems like strong evidence that the low mileage claim is likely accurate. This is so nitpicking, but the tag indicates an AM radio was installed at the factory, and there’s now an AM/FM unit in the dash, so maybe Bob enjoyed a clearer sound when he was listening to tunes while driving his Daytona. I’d probably never even think of turning the radio on, as the sound of a 426 Hemi would be more satisfying to my ears than any music I can think of. Almost two million dollars is a lot of money, but this is a high roller, and perhaps it will eventually fetch close to this number. Any thoughts to share regarding this 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona?
What a beautiful example from a bygone era! As stated, at nearly a two million dollar ask, someone (Jay Leno, perhaps?!) who has 20 times my LIFETIME disposable income will only be able to purchase it, LOL!! With such a condition & cost, will it ever be driven again on the street?? GLWTA!! :-)
I will have to move my crypto and gold around to sell and drive it home.
Seriously.. a beautiful car of daz gone by….
At least it is not on Craig’s List.
