A 1969 Dodge Hemi Daytona from the Wellborn Museum Collection just sold for $900,000 at Mecum, and the sale says as much about NASCAR’s aerodynamic wars as it does about horsepower. Fewer than 100 Hemi Daytonas were ever built, and this one carries a documented, numbers-matching pedigree that pushed it into seven-figure territory. Its wing and nose cone exist purely because Chrysler needed to build enough street cars to race the shape. Watch to see what turned a once-unwanted oddity into one of the most valuable Mopars in existence.
