The Dodge Charger Daytona occupies a singular place in American performance car history. Conceived as a homologation special to return Chrysler Corporation to dominance in NASCAR competition, the Daytona represented one of the most ambitious aerodynamic programs ever undertaken by a major American manufacturer. Its distinctive pointed nose cone, towering rear wing, and extensive wind tunnel development transformed the already potent Charger into a machine capable of unprecedented speeds, ultimately becoming the first NASCAR race car to exceed 200 mph. Produced for just a single model year, the Daytona remains one of the most recognizable and desirable muscle cars of the era.

Built at Dodge's Hamtramck Assembly Plant before receiving its specialized aerodynamic components through Creative Industries, Daytona production totaled only 503 examples. Today, surviving Daytonas rank among the most coveted Mopars ever produced, prized not only for their rarity and performance credentials but also for the remarkable engineering story behind them.

Offered here is VIN XX29L9B358399, a highly documented 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona equipped with its original numbers matching 440 Magnum V8 and matching TorqueFlite 727 automatic transmission. According to an extensive MMC Detroit Wise Wing Car Report, the car retains its factory VIN tag, matching primary and secondary body stampings, matching engine and transmission, and factory body structure. Most importantly the nose cone and sheet metal body panels are original to the car, showing that it has been extremely well maintained since it was produced 57 years ago, making it an exceptionally authentic example of Chrysler's legendary aero warrior. The report further documents a professional rotisserie restoration completed to a high standard.
