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.
