This 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, originally sold at Manzi Dodge, Inc. in Lowell, Massachusetts, embodies the epitome of “hot wings” in automotive history. With its authentic drivetrain, body, and interior, adorned in the striking factory color combination of V2 Hemi Orange with a contrasting white interior and rear wing package, this car stands as a rare gem from the Mopar era of the 1960s.

Among the limited production of just 505 Dodge Daytonas, all manufactured in mid-1969 for homologating parts for circle track racing, this example holds a special place. Constructed by subcontractor Creative Industries on the deluxe Charger R/T platform, it offered access to various Charger optional equipment.
