A 1969 Dodge Hemi Daytona was sold at the Mecum Auctions event in Kissimmee, Florida, for a record $1.43 million,The Charger-based Daytona was built for just one year to homologate its aerodynamic body for NASCAR racing.
The Daytona and its Plymouth Superbird twin sibling are among the most iconic racing cars in history, with their signature nosecones and high rear wings engineered to dominate NASCAR's high-speed ovals.They were so good that NASCAR quickly changed the rules to prohibit such extreme designs. Just 503 Daytonas were built for the street in 1969 and many have been lost to history, as they were initially unpopular among buyers and treated with none of the respect they get today.Of those only 70 were ordered with Dodge's legendary 426 cubic-inch Hemi V8 and just 22 matched the motor to a four-speed manual transmission.
The Daytona auctioned by Mecum had both features and was the only one of the 22 painted T5 Copper Metallic with a white wing stripe and a tan interior, making it a truly unique car.It's also the lowest-mileage Hemi Daytona with its original engine known to exist and has just 6,490 miles on its odometer.
will be the brand's first all-electric model and will replace its V8-powered cars, which will be discontinued at the end of 2023.
