    How much would you bid on this Dodge Daytona "clone"?

    A. The builder nailed it!
    B. Nice! Where can I buy one?
    C. Car show winner!
    D. It needs a little more work.
    E. It should be immediately driven to a junkyard crusher.

    I know that it's a hard choice, but before you decide, carefully compare it to an actual 1969 Daytona (2nd photo).

    Is that two different views of the same car?

    I think it's very creative, and maybe this individual cannot afford a Challenger? It's still a Mopar, one thing for sure. I bet he does not have much money in it and probably has as much fun with it as we do our Challengers?

    I have seen pictures of other people's first so-called hotrod and this is better looking......

    It may be based on a 1966 Plymouth Fury body.

    I’ll say it again…
    Just because you CAN do something, doesn’t mean you SHOULD do something! :D
