Why it matters
The Charger Daytona was Dodge's winged NASCAR homologation special, and only 70 of the 503 built had the 426 Hemi. Its nose cone and tall rear wing were designed to let it reach 200 mph on superspeedways.
How rare is it?

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionCharger Daytonas built for model year 1969, all engines (440 Magnum and 426 Hemi) | 5051,2 | Factory production | Registry reported |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Every Daytona began as a Charger R/T, then received an aerodynamic nose cone, a flush rear window and a 23-inch-tall rear wing. Dodge built 503, three more than the homologation minimum, with 433 using the 440 and 70 the 426 Hemi. At the first Talladega 500 in September 1969 Charlie Glotzbach qualified at 199.446 mph, and Daytonas helped Dodge to two wins in 1969 and four in 1970.
