Those '71 Daytonas are sweet....love the 1:1 '69 Daytona convertible phantom...I want to build that one in 1:25th..

I don't believe that was possible. NASCAR required (for eligibility) that at least one car be built for every two dealerships there were. In 1970 that meant 1,920 cars had to be built. Around 1,935 were actually built. Considering several birds were shipped to and sold in Canada, there was less than one available, per dealership. There were a total of seven colors available so i'm having trouble with "a row of superbirds" as well as "at least one in every color"

I worked in Orlando Fla on HWY 50 next to Massy Grindle Dodge and only remember one to ever hit the lot , it didnt sit but a few days before being sold and one other one traded in a few months later. Had a friend who worked in the body shop the and we would go out onthe lot after he got of work and look at all the Challenger and Chargers that sat on the lot.
