Dodge Charger 1969 Daytona

The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona was born out of necessity, but it became an icon of speed—and questionable fashion choices. With a nose piece that added 1,200 pounds of down-force and a rear wing that looked like it moonlighted as a surfboard, this car wasn’t winning beauty contests, but it sure won races. The 440 Magnum engine roared to 205 mph, while the optional 426 Hemi made it a rocket on wheels. Alas, the Daytona’s glory days ended with a new NASCAR rule, proving even legends need to retire.

The SS model, the high-octane sibling, boasts a 6.2L V8 with 426 hp. Want to cruise in automatic? The L99 engine steps in with 400 hp, featuring Active Fuel Management to save gas while still letting you zoom past the gas station.

Imported in 2008, this beauty flaunts its original California plates and showroom condition, thanks to Alf’s meticulous care.
