The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona was quite a legend. Meant as a high-performance yet limited version of the Dodge Charger, the Daytona was created to conquer NASCAR races. It did, and in the process it etched its name in history. Aside from the fact that a Charger Daytona could be very expensive nowadays -- with some even reaching $900,000 – only a few examples were really produced.
Nonetheless, you might want to settle on a modern Dodge Challenger dressed as Charger Daytona. Yes, this custom Challenger could be your next closest thing to a Charger Daytona, and at a far more affordable price.
Custom Dodge Challenger Daytona
Now being sold by Barrett-Jackson at its online auction as Lot 108, this Dodge Charger Daytona recreation started off as modern Challenger. Employing a modern Challenger as a base is quite logical since a modern Dodge Charger isn't a two-door coupe, but a full-size four-door sedan. Thus, this “Charger Daytona” recreation is actually a masked Dodge Challenger.
Being masked, this custom creation can't be recognized as a 2013 Dodge Challenger, as wrapped in white finish with Daytona lettering. At first glance, you’ll see a Charger Daytona-style nose cone with pop-up headlights, as completed by a hood from a SRT Challenger Hellcat. On the rear, this custom job features a massive-shaped Daytona rear wing (in red finish) as well as a rear diffuser.
Matching White Daytona Interior
This custom Dodge Challenger features an interior in custom white leather interior with red piping. The interior features power seats, custom pistol-grip-style shifter, a seven-speaker Boston Acoustics stereo system, a 6.5-inch touchscreen as well as steering wheel controls.
Riding on 20-inch wheels shod with Goodyear tires, this 2013 Dodge “Daytona” Challenger is powered by 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine delivering 372 hp, as sent to the wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. Documents show that its amp alternators and passenger airbag inflater have gone under safety recalls.
