Later in 68, Dodge installed the flush back window in the tunnel backlight and flush place of the charger
Everyone installed the Coronet grill in the grill cavity and noticed the new charger 500.
Not only is the appearance different, the car runs faster on the track.
Ford and Mercury soon followed their Turin Talladega and Cyclone Spoiler II fastback, which will overtake the charger in enough matches to win the NASCAR championship.
Not satisfied with the second place, Dodge upgraded it to another level with the Charger Daytona in the middle of 69.

Dodge built the NASCAR superhighway, contracted the creative industry, and built 500 Daytonas as required to legalize changes to the competition for stock cars.
This ultimate charger will be a flying machine for Dodge!
When winniperg Pat canyuga saw his first Daytona, he was only six years old, but even then he knew he would never forget.
He has had some very selective muscle cars for the last 15 years, but only 503, and he has little chance of having one.
On 2003, he saw a 69-year Charger R/T on a trailer on Dugald Road for sale.

This is quite expensive, but given the original Daytonas you found, because the repair items are usually sold for $60,000, the fixed or main examples will usually exceed $100,000, all of this
"I want a car that I can drive and I think cloning is a way," Kaniuga said . ".
Upon inspection, Kaniuga discovery kits can be restricted in the body section of Showcars in Southern Ontario.
Cdn for $4,500, the kit looks cheap and has the same main component as the other kits, so Kaniuga sent a $2,000 deposit and waited for the productionto-
Order kit arrival.
Then he turned to eBay, an online auction house, where his $500 bid won A set of stainless steel-
He bought the rear fender Daytona stripe decal for $50.
To fill the rear window area between the charger windsurfing boards, the factory has built a special metal filler board that has never been copied and is not available anywhere.
After a careful investigation, Kaniuga found that the Daytona clone used in the movie Joe Dirt was built using the back lift and windows of the Chevrolet Vega in its early 70 s.
Kaniuga said, "Vega lift back cover is about 98 the same as the original rear window plug.
"Kaniuga, after purchasing the Vega hatchback from a local wreck, is ready to start the project and bring the car to the car body of the fleet.
The fleet stripped the car into bare metal to remove the old paint surface primer, which is no longer compatible with modern paint, and repaired the slightly rusted area.
Subsequently, Kaniuga and charger expert Brian Gushuliak installed and welded the hatchback in place.
They also have to shorten the rear deck.
"We had to find some rear trunk hinges that could work with the converted deck, and I found a set of direct car parts on a car in Lincoln town in 95, kaniuga joked: "Give this project a little elegant feeling. ".
The car's power system is in good condition and only needs some cleaning and details under the hood.
The power comes from the charger's 440 cubic inch Magnum V8, which produces 375 hp at 4,400 rpm.
We found a Chrysler four.

Glen Scott of Higgins Avenue dulls made and installed a custom double
Exhaust system with Dynomax silencer.
Four months after placing the order, Kaniuga received the parts for the Showcars body parts.
"The wait is a little tight, but arriving is a good kit that doesn't have much modification," Kaniuga said . ".
With the completion of the main body and manufacturing, the car was handed over to Ralph somesafei at Auto resurtion to finally prepare and apply the base/transparent and bright turquoise metallic paint face.
Most Daytonas are painted in red, orange, or other high colors
But chose this color because they only had three days to wear it when they left the factory.
Doug Gammack of elite automotive glass has installed new front windshield and new rear window for the project.
"The Vega rear window has a rear defroster element coming through, which the charger has never had, and Doug managed to come up with a normal window," Kaniuga said . ".

In order to complete the body and Polaris/Fairmont plating, the rear bumper has been replaced by the wide Daytona rear fender decal, and the balance of the bright work of the charger is only the polished original part.
"I built a lot of models when I was a child, and it feels like creating life --
"The size model," Kaniuga said.
Inside the charger is the new white vinyl seat interior for the legendary car interior, the new carpet for the harden muscle car world, and the headline news provided by the first year's repair parts.

Kaniuga, who has been a member of the Manitoba mompa Association since 1993, said, "this is only happening with Brian Gushuliak, he shared my car he never got tired of working on this project on weekends last summer and our Mopar show was done in time.
