This Weathered Old 1969 Dodge Daytona Barn Find Is Expected To Go For $180k
We all dream of checking out a barn one day, only to find some automotive treasure hidden within its hay-filled confines. Whoever stumbled upon this particular barn find certainly must have felt like they were in a dreamworld; this 1969 Dodge Daytona, in all its battered, rusting glory, is expected to fetch an incredible $150,000 to $180,000.
This car was one of only 503 produced, and has only had two owners in all of its life. Perhaps most importantly for the price, it has a “matching numbers 440 CI engine” and an awesome custom flame paint job. The 440 (7.2-litres) Magnum engine was only offered in the Daytona and R/T versions of the ‘69 Charger, and it is believed the car has only done 20,553 miles.
It’s a hell of a lot of cash for something in this condition, but considering its Nascar heritage - it was so good that regulators banned it from competing - one rich motorsport fan is going to have a very special project car soon. The car goes on sale in January at Mecum Auctions - read the full advert here.

I am oddly aroused.
Beautiful… Drive it the way it is :) It’s got a Joe Dirt vibe to it
That patina :O
I’m going out on a limb here and say it could sell for $200k+ (please don’t downvote me if I’m wrong, we all make a mistake)
200k as it is, 500-600k in decent condition and >1m in exceptionally good condition
im donating 50 dollars to the “ CT is going to buy a daytona” fund
He felt like playing Forza Horizon in real life!
This is something for Gas Monkey
Exactly what I was thinking
I’d rather not have them ruin it…
Rather give it to the guys at Motortrend and just RoadKill it..
I’ll give them 1.8k for it
this is the best daytona story imo
