Do you know this crashed 1969 Dodge Daytona?

Tim L · #1 09-03-2009, 01:08 PM

I purchased this Daytona in late 2007 and have the cars history from 1979 onwards. I know it was sold new from the 'Hatfield Recon Center' PA (now known as 'Manheim's Hatfield Auto Center) which was run by Morton Gallub previously a Chrysler dealer in NJ during the 60's and I know it is NOT the flood Daytona as many believe. I would love to hear from anyone who knows anything about this car or this photo of it taken out the back of a gas station in 1979 I believe?

Cheers, Tim.

You were the one I was thinkin' of cuz you're not too far from PA, but it's hard to remember names. I guess I could've asked Annie, eh?

When I searched the newspaper archives. And found a small ad from Hatfield Recon center .It wasnt a car listing it was a help wanted for a mechanic.The contact person was Domenic or Dominic Antenucci.Who Im working on try to locate.They probably only had this 1 69 daytona.So he might remember it
