Running under Hemi power, a Charger Daytona laid claim to the fastest stock car in the world, laying down a qualifying run at 199.985 MPH in practice for its inaugural race at Talladega. From then through the following year, Daytonas won 45 of the next 59 races.
On March 24, 1970, at Talladega, Buddy Baker became the first NASCAR driver to officially break the 200 MPH barrier on a closed course.
This 1969 Charger Daytona is one of only 20 built combining the dual 4-barrel Hemi engine with the Hurst Pistol Grip heavy-duty 4-speed manual.
This Hemi 4-speed is one of the most desirable Aero Mopars in existence.
