IIRC, the Dodge Charger Daytona, and it's corporate sister, the Plymouth Roadrunner were produced in relatively limited quantities to get around NASCAR restrictions about body style (any stock cars had to be "production" cars back then, with only certain mods allowed). With their aerodynamic slipperyness (compared to any other Detroit boxes of the day), those two cars wiped up on the stock car circuit.

The 66/67 model year (different shape) was beautiful too and the 1970 500. After that to '74 they weren't as appealing.
