Hahaha! You're right, there's no way to hide in this gorgeous Daytona! Tom has quite the collection. It's always a treat for the channel when you guys get together, Lou! Thanks again!
The way they scraped the paint off the firewall, is just like what art restorers do to great works of art, it's pretty amazing the time and effort put in to preserve this car for future generations. Thank you
WOW! WOW! WOW! Seems like that's the only words I can say! Man, I'm so envious that you got to drive it. Such a cool owner to allow you to try it out. FANTASTIC VIDEO LOU, THANK YOU
One of my favourites Lou ! I can't quit drooling ! I saw a 69 hemi charger ( not a daytona) ,on a car lot one time & wanted that car real bad ! Ah- memories ! Love the rarity of this one ! It's mopar or no car!
There was one in my hometown, not sure if a hemi, but it was a Daytona. The car never saw its first birthday, the 18 year old driver never saw his 19th. Went head on, dead centre into a light pole in a mall parking lot. Very sad. Every time I see one of these wing cars the newspaper picture of the front end of the Daytona folded around the pole flashes back. Rip. I remember this as it is my own way to memorialize that driver. Beautiful car, you were lucky to have taken it for a spin. 👍. Thanks for posting the video.
Hi Trip Reviews, Sad to read the memory you have :-( Hope this memory can replace it :-) Regarding the post, my pleasure sharing with you & you're welcome, Lou
Everyone should have as much fun as you do, Lou!! This was a triple WOW car when new, and of course, still is. I’ve only seen a few of these winged cars in my life, and I believe they all had the 440. The 440 six pack is pretty hot too, but a Hemi is in a class by itself!! Thanks again Lou! Stay safe and well in these turbulent times. We need guys like you!
Its no Viper.. But from now on, Lou may say about a Viper; Its no Daytona!! All the B bodies you have reviewed, Its great to see the owner share the experience. (they're meant to be driven).. Very nice!!
I had one. A 440 auto,4:10 rear end.. Traction bars black on black, coupe window and super slicks, Loved it. Babies came and it was gone.only 41 built and shipped.
Not too bad Lou, I agree, you deserve to drive this Daytona Lou, it put the biggest smile on my face watching you drive this beautiful muscle car. Great video all round just mouth watering beautiful. I just get goose bumps thinking back in 69 you can go to your local Dodge dealer & order this exact muscle car. You can't imagine it in today's mundane cars. Awesome Awesome Awesome. Thank you for making me smile, I am so happy for you, not many people can say they have driven a Hemi Daytona. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
Hi Louis # 1 in Australia, Happy to read you enjoy and have FUN with me riding in this Muscular Muscle Car :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and glad you're along for the ride, Lou
Like a great bottle of wine a great car is meant to be shared. Thanks to you and Tom here Lou for sharing yet another Holy Grail. Good squawkers too! As much fun as it must've been to lay 'em down with this beast the top end must be breath taking! Sometimes it's not how fast it'll go it's how fast it'll get there...in this case - it's both!
Hi Audie Conrad, "Like a great bottle of wine a great car is meant to be shared." I LIKE THAT! Well said. Thank you for viewing, sharing, you're welcome, and glad you're along for the ride, Lou
Hi Plymouth Die-Cast Replicas, Happy to read this one is a "Stunning" car & "awesome" drive for you :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and glad you're along for the ride, Lou
One of my dream cars, sadly way out of my budget, but boy what car. Tom thanks for sharing this very special automotive icon. and well done for keeping it as it is. drool!!! Great post Lou.
Hi Mark L, Happy to read you appreciate this car. Yes technology improves as auto makers continue to find new ways to make cars safer, increase comfort, improve handling, and add horse power....yet this car sitting next to a V6 Honda Accord will make the Honda become invisible :-) Lou
You did again showing a Mopar. Got me wishing I still had my Hemi. If you got rid of the wing and darkened the green and taken the Hemi badge off the door, then it could have been mine. Great job. One day I'll have to find a few photos of mine and get them to you.
@@loucostabile No chance of that, Lou. Sold the Charger in 71 to a buddy. He was going to pull the engine and put in a 383. Just so his wife would be able to drive it around town. Needless to say to say it didn't get great mileage. If I kept my foot out of it got almost 8 MPG. Hey! who could keep the foot off the pedal. The 104 re-sized jets did some drinking, but there was no lag. I think I still have the dealer window sticker around here showing the $5002 price. Beside all that I just can't drive any longer. Need to watch you and others who keep guys like me remembering.
@@487joe Hi Joe B, Everything works out for a reason, and I'm smart enough to not try to figure it all out. Please watch the commercials through as that's how I get paid. Happy we can enjoy the legacy of these great cars we enjoy here on RU-vid & it's my pleasure to share with you. Lou
Love it. Like the color a lot. My friend owns the last "one owner" '69 Hemi Daytona in existence. Last time I saw him, and it, the car had 40,XXX miles on it. (Redaction - had my cars mixed. It had 40,xxx)
@@markrobirds7984 Must get from Hemmings paper (which is a good source) and onto program ! :-) Great color by the way. If he'd like to contact me he can e-mail trupowr@yahoo.com and title the subject line last 1 Owner Hemi Daytona. Thanks for making me aware of this car, Lou
I painted my '66 Dodge Charger this same shade of green with black highlhights and black pinstriping way back in the day. They called it "Brite Green Poly" back then.....
Its green, its mean. It's The Mean Green Machine !!! :) un real ! I had that Wings page from HRm tape to my front door. I'd see it every time I went to drive my '69. Love the originality (green engine compartment that used to be black !?!) and while getting on it too much isn't cool at least you guys didn't stand on it for a smokey burn out like so many meat head vids I've seen. Gotten to where I hate that. Just enough 'fun' !! Freakin' 'chirp' to second spoke for it self. btw, nothing like the sound of solid lifters !!! Great vid, Lou !
Hi Bill, Happy to read you appreciate this car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing and I believe you're going to see many more cars on this Channel you'll enjoy. Hope you Subscribe, and hit the "bell" so you can see all the cars when they are uploaded on this RU-vid Channel, Lou
They Superbirds and Daytonas are two of my absolute dream cars. Alas, I will never be able to afford one. LOL!! Good thing I love other cars which are way more affordable.
Lou Costabile - I just now watched your recommended video link. How VERY fortunate to have “2” winged MOPARS! Chargers have always, always been my favorite, but the Superbird I’d take without even having to think about.
Great video Lou love watching your channel I have never had the opportunity to see a Daytona Charger or Superbird in person only seen them in videos. Makes me wonder how many Daytona's were automatics and how many had 4 speed manual.
From the front view - if I were to see this on the road, up close in my rear-view., I could easily infer that this car is saying. "Dude - I mean business. If I pass around you, if you challenge me, you WILL lose. Just sit there and be impressed." And as I would see the rear end of the car as it passes around me, I could infer the car as saying, "That's right - I rawk! Have a good day."
Hi. Boys at play. You sure know to make a Guys HEART skip a beat, No STOP for a second.. The coolest mopar of all. I actually picked the color for my,65 Coronet. From the Holy Grail of Daytona chargers. David Spades. T5 Copper Poly . well goi,g out to Drive the Coronet now. Blessings to all. Stay Safe Be Well
Thanks for that I'm green 💚with envy beauty😆. interesting that Mopar produced over the top so very well equipped cars it came with same dog dish hubcaps that they would put on a basic Dodge Dart 🙄
Hi X K, Happy to read you enjoy this car. I agree, you'd think the rims would be some sport aluminum thing, however not the case, Plain dog dish caps :-) Lou
@@loucostabile I'm a Ford and Mopar kind of person but old veihicles I love and appreciate all types and style old cars so ya Daytona in that type of condition and the info he has on his car is incredibly awsome so ya very nice looking car and it sounds sharp as well .anyways godbless and see ya on your next video
Happy to read you enjoy this car. Chicago on the roads we were on we're ok because when the police pulled us over to ask questions, I told them I have the "Car Owners Virus" & they let us pass, Lou
@@loucostabile I think most of us are pleasantly amazed at the sheer amount of videos you have uploaded over the years. What a dedicated guy! Now see, if it were me, being of twisted humor and all, I would "rig" an interview with a car owner I knew well. Then it would be "open the damn hood already" and "you call that giving me revs, FLOOR IT SUCKER!" and the like. Wake up the viewers. tee hee hee. 😝 For added effect, you could wear a black leather jacket and work the East Coast tuff guy accent.
