1970 Dodge Charger Daytona NASACAR Superbird Tribute - FULL Buddy Baker Homage #88 - GENUINE 426ci NASCAR Hemi engine - Unbelievable Road Presence
What do we say but wow what an absolute beast of a "MOPAR" American muscle car royalty and the Daytona Charger that broke the 200mph circuit oval record back in March 1970 which the actual Daytona that broke the record is sitting in NASCAR's Hall of Fame collection. This is the next best thing being the original car sold for US$1m decades ago sitting in the NASCAR HOF Museum so this will be the next closest and best thing and here we present to you one of the best tribute/clone's of that very car Buddy Baker #88 broke the rule books with!!
A 1970 Dodge Charger built to disguise the car that Buddy accelerated to 200+ MPH which started of life as a 383, automatic, Charger 500 but now sporting beautiful bright "Hemi" blue paintwork with white stripe across the rear together with the special #88 livery and fitted with the special nose cone and huge rear wing, making this iconic tribute look like it is doing 200mph standing still!! Under the hood is nothing but the very best, a genuine NASCAR 426 cubic inch fuel injected Hemi engine producing in excess of 500 horsepower all controlled by a MOTEC engine management system.
Side exiting exhaust system also adds to the race feel!! The Hemi engine is backed up by a 727 Torqueflite automatic gearbox. Inside is as per original with standard seats in black vinyl. Keeping an eye on all the excitement under the hood are a selection of Autometer gauges. The car sits perfectly on a set of NASCAR Stockcar rims with period Goodyear stencilled tyres.
So, if you are in the market for a special Daytona Charger you could never build her for this asking price with so many period correct items and the big major being a genuine 426ci NASCAR V8 the heart of the Mopar beast. The "Winged Warriors" as they were known in NASCAR.
Something to note to collectors considering this magnificent Daytona tribute for your collection is the fact that only 70 of the 503 genuine Daytona Chargers built ever had the 426ci Hemi fitted in them with majority having the 440ci Magnum V8, so with a sale in the US last year of an exact tribute with NASCAR 426ci sold for US $500k and genuine cars well over $$$ seven figures you could never repeat this opportunity in Australia.
