When it comes to ultra-rare, classic American sports cars, there is probably nothing that can touch the likes of the Shelby Cobra , 1963 split-window Stingray and 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Not only did these cars exhibit the raw performance that made cars of the ‘60s so spectacular, but their limited production made them instant collector’s items.
Of these cars, the Dodge Charger Daytona is probably the most iconic, with its unique design that stands as a testament to how far an automaker will go for racing homologation. Created for the 1969 NASCAR season, the Charger Daytona was a dominant force in American racing as it won 45 out of 59 races, according to the car’s description by Mecum Auctions.
Looking to gain every advantage possible in NASCAR racing, Dodge developed the Charger Daytona with aerodynamics in mind. The 1969 Daytona is defined by its sloped nose and its wild rear wing.
The 1969 Daytona was offered with two engine options (the 440-cubic-inch V-8 and the legendary 426-cubic-inch Hemi V-8) and two transmission options (a three-speed automatic and a four-speed manual). Of the 500 Dodge Charger Daytonas built in 1969, only 20 combined the Hemi and manual gearbox.
