This Weathered Old 1969 Dodge Daytona Barn Find Is Expected To Go For $180k

Barn finds are often equal parts tragic and intriguing, with this '69 Daytona being one of the coolest, saddest finds we've seen in a long time. Its $150k - $180k auction estimate is staggering

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.

Don’t know what the engine or interior looks like, but the rest of it is mint.. No rot in the pictures, and mostly just dirty..

I’m more curious as to why various owners of cars like this choose to park them in a barn and never get back to them? The stories I bet there are. Some worthy of understanding. Others probably will make me want to punch a baby.
