It *was* remarkably low. That's why I remember it for so long.
It was about the same price as the plain vanilla Chevy 4-dr sedan my
father had bought the year before and I found that amazing.

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).

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!
