THE STORY
This 1969 Dodge Hemi Daytona NASCAR is representative of just why Dodge created the Charger Daytona program—racing. Today, any street version of those aerodynamic specials is very desirable, and this example is actually a one-of-one artifact that recalls the superspeedway program itself. Receiving a First Place Award at the 2005 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance and most recently displayed at the Lemay Car Museum in Tacoma, Washington, from 2021-2022, this Charger Daytona has been detailed in the correct red and gold Coca-Cola No. 22 livery used by Bobby Allison in that era and accurately reflects the technology of the time.
On August 24, 1969, while testing before the Daytona models would first be unveiled for competition at Talladega, Bobby Allison unofficially drove his No. 22 car for four laps in excess of 200 MPH, and a copy of a lap time sheet is included. Allison personally inspected this car and verified its authenticity in a handwritten letter dated November 10, 1999, and the dash is autographed by Allison in two locations. In addition, the forward cowl of the engine compartment is autographed by George Wallace, one of Chrysler's top aerodynamic developers.
