1969 Dodge Charger Daytona

The Dodge Charger Daytona was named after Daytona Beach in Florida, where the Daytona 500 NASCAR event still occurs. And as you’ve probably realized by now, this was a vehicle made for the race track. The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona looked like a futuristic two-door coupé, even by today’s terms.

But more than its unusual looks, this exquisite vehicle was impressive because of its specs. Powered by a 7.2L Magnum V8 engine, it was a 3/4-speed manual transmission track beast that made a habit of winning high-profile races in the late ’60s, such as the inaugural 1969 Talladega 500 edition.
