1969 Dodge Daytona 440 Magnum

W ith its 18-inch long nose cone and 23-inch tall aluminum wing, it was the most unmistakable automobile of the ‘60s, and one of the most impressive muscle cars of its day. Unfortunately, the 1969 Dodge Daytona car was not a hit with the public, many of whom joked about its Frankenstein looks – nose and tail additions that were almost sacrilegious among street cars in that period.

The Dodge Daytona, however, was an experiment in aerodynamics that netted both wins and attention in NASCAR racing. The addition of the cone and tail, along with a less noticeable front spoiler and slight grill opening, provided incredible stability to the cars at high speed. And because the cars were built in such small numbers, the Dodge Daytona commands a premium in today’s collector circles.

Only 503 Charger Daytonas were built. Of those, 433 came with 440 Magnum engines, which produced a whopping 375 horsepower and 480 foot-pounds of torque at 3,200 rpm. Of all the Daytonas built, only 139 were equipped with the four-speed transmission, as pictured here.

The following year, the Dodge Daytona disappeared and the Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird was introduced, the second generation of aerocar for Mopar. Slightly slower than the Daytona in stock form, it still sported its distinctive nose and tail, and it wasn’t plagued with the overheating problems that occurred when the Daytona was driven slowly.



Expect to pay anywhere from $160,000 to $260,000 for an excellent model, depending on options and mileage.
