I never thought they were as cool as the Plymouth Belvedere II that
preceded them.
I remember back in high school the local Plymouth dealer was on the way
when I walked from school to my after school job & I'd sometimes stop in
to drool over a '66 2-door, 426 Hemi, 3-speed on the floor (Hurst
shifter I think - that may be just wishful thinking, but it *was* a
floor shift).
Sticker price as equipped $2400 including optional heater & AM radio.

There was a production version of the Daytona — had to be to make it legal for
NASCAR — and the wing had to be high enough for the trunk lid to open. That’s
the story of legend anyway. But the car was designed in a wind tunnel and it
may well have been that the wing caught more air when positioned high. The
production versions of the Daytonas and the Plymouth Superbird version were
crudely assembled. The gaps on the nose cone didn’t align and the pain on the
rear spoiler didn’t match the body color. Now when the obsessive original
equipment collectors restore them they try to make them less than perfect. Shot
several of them that were judged at shows over the past few years. The winning
cars all were a bit off kilter.

Quick!
Why was the rear wing so high?
No googling, that's cheating.
Drool-worthy car. Remember seeing one on the street for the first time. Oh baby!
Cheers,

OK, Cotty, here's your chance! A real, honest-to-God Daytona Superbird
with an actual racing history, and a 429, is for sale. No price listed.
