That is a Dodge Charger Daytona. It came that way from the factory. Chrysler also produced the Plymouth Superbird. The cars were manufactured for homolgation so NASCAR teams could run the body style in NASCAR’s top level Cup series. Those cars sell for huge money these days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJZ Posted September 30, 2022 Share #1818 Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) They look pretty cool going around the Daytona race track at 200 MPH though. Edited September 30, 2022 by SJZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share #1819 Posted September 30, 2022 Big money for a resto'ed 73. It even has the splash pan underneath. Crazy 8's... https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-datsun-240z-205/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted October 1, 2022 Share #1820 Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) That one has bypassed the intake coolant flow too. I assume that was OE in '73? I know my early '72 had it. But not anymore! Edited October 1, 2022 by siteunseen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, doesn't look original to me. Don't get me wrong... I love that silver. But, is it the original silver for 70/71? I am close to having the car I am restoring painted and am planning to go with silver, which is the color it was originally painted. However, I am concerned that I won't like the factory silver which often looks grey in pics. What paint line was used for that car? Anyway, from the one pic, that car looks very, very, very nice. Would love to see more pics. I also have an order typed up for several items from you - some of the last items that I will need to procure for my restoration.

If it looks gray in pictures - might just be the lighting and angle of the light source etc. That said - if it looks gray or has blueish undertones etc when you see it in person- it isn't factory. Factory Silver in person looks Silver as in that picture. Factory Silver used "Fine" silver metal flakes only. My first 240Z was Silver... got a scratch in the passenger door about 14 months after I picked it up from the Dealer. Spent several months trying to find the right body shop that could match the paint - the fourth shop got it right. Spent months looking very closely at that Silver from the factory. Very hard for shops using completely different types of paint today to blend the correct color - it can be done - if they are willing to shoot enough test panels large enough. Chevy Guys - have the same problem getting Cortez Silver correct as well on Corvettes/Camaro's/Chevelles from the 60's/70's. I had that on my 1970 SS396 El Camino - it is all but identical to the original silver on the 240Z's. Sill if today you look at a hundred pictures of Cortez Silver - only about 1 in 20 looks like the correct shade. Too many of them have gray or blue undertone, or a sand/gold undertone.
