When the Chrysler Wing Cars debuted, which includes the Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird, they were surprisingly slow sellers at dealerships. That’s crazy to think about these days since both command high prices at auctions and in private transactions. What’s just as insane is to see this Charger Daytona that’s never been titled or sold, sitting looking pristine as part of an impressive Mopar collection.

Tracked down by YouTube car channel Backyard Barn Finds, the Daytona is one of many impressive rides owned by the same couple. While both Mopar and GM are represented in the collection, it seems they’re not fans of Ford.
Among the notable other rides is an all-original K5 Blazer, Pontiac Judge, Buick GSX, and a Plymouth Superbird.
Back to the Dodge Charger Daytona, it’s supposedly the only one in the world that’s never been titled or registered. Just that fact alone makes it even more collectable than the other Wing Cars. And you know the Mopar homologation specials are highly sought after these days.
According to the owner, the Daytona sat at a dealership for two to three years and didn’t sell. Like we said, dealerships had trouble moving the Wing Cars, thanks to people thinking they were too weird looking.
This guy scooped up the Dodge from the dealership owner’s son later on. The family apparently just held onto it, doing nothing with the Mopar until the son decided to unload it. This guy was just lucky enough not only to buy the thing, but also wise enough to not turn around and title, then register it.
Because of its unique history, the Charger Daytona is also all original, unrestored, and looks fabulous. We know the term “time capsule” gets used in the collector car world too much, but if any car is such a thing, this Dodge certainly qualifies.
Check out the video to learn more details about this classic Mopar muscle car and check out the rest of this guy’s impressive car collection. Just be sure to have something to catch all the drool first.
