    This is not a car.
    It's art.

    Seeing this car driving on the streets with other cars as opposed to at a car show is like seeing a Lion in the jungle (it's natural habitat) and not in the zoo.

    What a car! And to think that dealers had a difficult time selling them.

      You have great taste in cars :-) Yep, really interest in buying something that's not a family car...However, that's Ok, there are plenty of family cars out there, however they probably will not show up on the Channel :-)

    • @prodyung829
      @prodyung829 Před rokem

      I looked it up and back than they saw the spoiler as super tachy and ricey when it first came out plus it was werid at the time to sell a car like this. not many genuinely race based cars sold for the street like this one. but also man it was different than, we have the internet and millions of recourses to find out about these cars, back than you probably didn't know till you saw the big wing or stories, thats it.

      @loucostabile  Před 8 lety +6

      I start with Daytona and you're right, they said Cuda. Let me show you why I have Cuda's on the brain just before we took a ride, enjoy, Lou czcams.com/video/FJxae7IKeZY/video.html

      @ricktaylor3748 Před 8 lety +9

      I'd be scared to death someone would crash into to me. I can just see some punk in a Honda Civic T-bone that beautiful Dodge. I believe I'd limit my driving in the city to a minimum
      What a great car, it lights em up with just a touch of the gas pedal. I had a 72 GTX that would do the same. I actually heard it bark 3rd gear on a few occasions. Not bad for an automatic.

    What an awesome blast from the past! This is the car that set the first 200 mile per hour lap in NASCAR and forced them to change the rules so that the rest of the auto world could keep up. The owner is just a super cool guy. He's a big kid with his million dollar toy our hot rodding around. If I had the money to own one it WOULD NOT be locked up in some show room or storage. It would be on the road, a rolling automotive history lesson, a work of art, for everyone to see. Great job Lou!

    That was excellent! My blood pressure sky rocketed just watching that video. I LOVE those Winged Warriors! I have a Superbird wing in my shop, now to find the rest of the car. It wouldn't look right on my 68 Charger. Thanks Lou and thank you Tom! That was my neck of the woods back in the 60's and 70's. Thanks again!

  • @sunfish340
    @sunfish340 Před 8 lety +3

    First off - BEAUTIFUL & badass Daytona. Secondly - I would NEVER take a car like that for a ride through a city like Chicago, or any other big city! And you are right - nobody there would care if you were driving a Honda Elefent, or a Hemicuda convertible with 3 miles on the odometer, much less a Hemi Daytona. Neither would anybody in my neighborhood - sign of the times. A neighbor would more likely come over to check out a new Soul than a car like a Daytona. (I think the Daytona would generate comments like "what an idiot" or "look at that circus wagon" in my neighborhood). Most people are dead on their feet anymore. What a shame.

    • @loucostabile
      @loucostabile  Před 8 lety

      Hi Eric S, I agree Chicago is not the best place to drive the car, that said I also agree one bad Daytona! Thanks for viewing and commenting, Lou

    @jnucleo Před 4 lety

    My first car was a 383 '69 Roadrunner with a 4:10 rear, 4 speed with the console just like the one in the video. I loved the look of the console and that long curved Hurst shifter but I remember the shifter was not all that tight . Regardless a bad ass ride and a lot of fun. My first "should have kept it" car! Sold it around 1986 for $2000 with under 60,000 miles. I worked in a plating shop and had the grill anodized gold and the emblems plated with solid gold. It looked pretty sharp with the black lacquer paint job. I would hazard a guess there's never been another with that color scheme.

    that being said after owning three roadrunners a 69 Super Bee and a 69 sport satellite I can only drool over this Hemi car... the closest I ever got was my uncle driving one to my Grandpa's funeral in 1972 when I was 10, and it was the first ride I ever got in a Hemi 4-speed and it is something I will never forget... it was green with a white wing and it said Daytona on the side and it was beyond killer

    • @loucostabile
      @loucostabile  Před 8 lety

      Sounds like a GREAT car. Thanks for sharing your story, Lou

    • @unionblacksmith7843
      @unionblacksmith7843 Před 8 lety

      +Lou Costabile my uncle bought it new in late 1970, the dealers used to have a rhyme about Charger Daytona's and Superbirds, it went something like, "get the thing with the wing off my lot." Apparently they weren't very popular cars in 69 and 70, and it took a long time for people to discover just how special these cars were... so my uncle bought it for a song, from a Dodge dealer out in California...and at my grandfather's funeral in 72, the car only had about six thousand miles on it, so it was damn near Factory fresh! Thanks for your response, it really was an amazing ride... sadly my uncle and the car are both long gone, but the memories are terrific...

    • @loucostabile

  • @garywood9525
    @garywood9525 Před 5 lety

    Smart man to not ride the clutch . Too many new drivers with a manual stick will rest their foot on the pedal waiting the go into 1st at a red light when it turns green .
    Holding the pedal down at idle is also bad because it wears out the Throw Bearing which is usually under load for a few seconds at a time.
    Back around 1972 a friend of mine spent time near LA in the Summer vist the grandmother. He told me about the Hemi's at the drag strips and how he saw a 1970 Hemi cuda on the street that was doing about 30 and when the driver floored it the tires broke traction .

    Correct me if am wrong. I heard stories about 1969 dodge charger daytona hemi cars were notorious for overheating in trafffic. But still a very beautiful car and this car is special. I like it for the fact that its a hemi car and not only that these cars were homologation cars that required to meet a certain number of cars had to be built and sold in order for the 1969 dodge charger daytona race cars to be allowed to compete and race in nascar.

    • @loucostabile

    I believe it was in 1969 that the Daytona won the Talladega while the FORD Talladega won the Daytona 500 . Dodge ran the Charger 500 in the Daytona but didn't have that lower drag that the FORD had....then they ran the Superbird in 1970 with Pete Hamilton at the wheel for the Win that day .

    Incredible car! Cars just get much rarer than this one. In my lifetime, I only ever saw one in someones garage.
    The trouble is these cars are worth so much now, only the super wealthy can afford them.
    Plus, being worth so much it becomes nerve racking just to drive them on public roads.

  • @dvamateur
    @dvamateur Před 2 lety +1

    The Daytona is arguably better than the Superbird in a sense, that it's more functional vs. Superbird being more styling oriented. I mean, the Daytona's functionality accounts only for 2mph extra at the top speed, but hey, if the nose cone and the wing are for a reason, why not have it perfect. Of course, nobody is going to drive the Daytona at 200mph on street tires. However, at around 120mph, the aero features might be working already, making the car not only more planted to the road, but also giving it some directional stability. That's what the wing's height is for, the directional stability. One thing I don't understand though is the purpose of a burnout. If it really were to warm tires, maybe it would be fine. But can warm up tires more gradually by driving car a little bit. I mean, a burnout puts unnecessary abuse on the clutch mounts and the drive train, unless the clutch mounts are so strong on the Daytona, that it doesn't really matter. I prefer the American cars to the European, however, it seems that the owners of the European exotics seem to be more considerate of their equipment, making the car warm up properly before making it fully breathe. The rather crude handling of this beautiful Daytona make me feel as the value of the car drops down considerably with every single burn-out done.

      ​@@loucostabile Sure, the cars are fantastic on this channel. I don't think there's anything that can best Dodge Daytona. However, the juvenile behavior of grown men on public streets can be a concern. I am glad nobody was hurt in the process of abusing the Daytona's clutch and drivetrain through burnouts. My suggestion is, grow up, or if you insist on juvenile behavior, go to a racetrack or drag strip.

Also came in the classic colors Aqua Blue,Teal,Black,Red,White and Royal Blue. My 93 was the Aqua Blue with black trim,Black and smoke interior,and black Ram decal(which replaced the Chrysler star of the 92 and older models.) I loved all my Daytonas dearly! Wish I kept my 93,its a classic now and Ive seen a few on the local roads where I live. Folks are rebuilding them from their ground effects up! (Ground effects were found on your 93 Daytona Iroc RT models.) They're eye-catching and when most folks see them now a days,they dont know what to make of them....Until they hear that classic 3.0 V6 engine purr and surprisingly fly past ya if youre not lookin fast enough! :) The Daytona of the 90s caught ya off guard because at a first glance it doesnt look like a challenge and not much of a force to be reckoned with,That is until you test it. Took a mustang LX off the line once because it reved the engine and asked for a duel. Needless to say the LX was a bit surprised but live and learn right? Giggle,giggle!😏 Mopar or no car means what it means. Miss that car so much. His name was"Phat Chance"(Full name:Phat Chance of That!") To see another Phat Chance on the road is epic! Whats your Daytonas name? Id call him"Blue Jay" but its up to you! You know his"personality" lol so let me know if ya come up with a name or need help picking one,Id be glad to name him. Youre Daytona is a beast and when I first heard the engine roar in this video I thought you were gonna say"383",But 426! I was like" Wowsers!" Today I own a 2011 Challenger 3.6 V6 Sport Economy Automatic in Blackberry Pearl. His name is"Midnight,full name: Midnight Mayhem's at it again! The 2011s are modeled after the 72s. Nothing stops me with 4 brandnew Firestones,serious xm radio,and badass appearence! I almost look like I can fly! Its great. Happy trails and safe travels down safe roads.
