1970 Dodge Charger Daytona NASACAR Superbird Tribute - FULL Buddy Baker Homage #88 - GENUINE 426ci NASCAR Hemi engine - Unbelievable Road Presence- What do we say but wow what an absolute beast of a "MOPAR" American muscle car royalty and the Daytona Charger that broke the 200mph circuit oval record back in March 1970 which the actual Daytona that broke the record is sitting in NASCAR's Hall of Fame collection. This is the next best thing being the original car sold for US$1m decades ago sitting in the NASCAR HOF Museum so this will be the next closest and best thing and here we present to you one of the best tribute/clone's of that very car Buddy Baker #88 broke the rule books with!! A 1970 Dodge Charger built to disguise the car that Buddy accelerated to 200+ MPH which started of life as a 383, automatic, Charger 500 but now sporting beautiful bright "Hemi" blue paintwork with white stripe across the rear together with the special #88 livery and fitted with the special nose cone and huge rear wing, making this iconic tribute look like it is doing 200mph standing still!! Under the hood is nothing but the very best, a genuine NASCAR 426 cubic inch fuel injected Hemi engine producing in excess of 500 horsepower all controlled by a MOTEC engine management system. Side exiting exhaust system also adds to the race feel!! The Hemi engine is backed up by a 727 Torqueflite automatic gearbox. Inside is as per original with standard seats in black vinyl. Keeping an eye on all the excitement under the hood are a selection of Autometer gauges. The car sits perfectly on a set of NASCAR Stockcar rims with period Goodyear stencilled tyres. So, if you are in the market for a special Daytona Charger you could never build her for this asking price with so many period correct items and the big major being a genuine 426ci NASCAR V8 the heart of the Mopar beast. The "Winged Warriors" as they were known in NASCAR. Something to note to collectors considering this magnificent Daytona tribute for your collection is the fact that only 70 of the 503 genuine Daytona Chargers built ever had the 426ci Hemi fitted in them with majority having the 440ci Magnum V8, so with a sale in the US last year of an exact tribute with NASCAR 426ci sold for US $500k and genuine cars well over $$$ seven figures you could never repeat this opportunity in Australia.
The AC Cobra, sold in the United States as the Shelby Cobra and AC Shelby Cobra, is a sports car manufactured by British company AC Cars, with a Ford V8 engine. It was produced intermittently in both the United Kingdom and later the United States since 1962. This AC Cobra replica is based on a South African produced chassis by Hi-Tech / Superformance. With gleaming black paintwork and matt black Cobra style stripes. To keep with the race theme numbering and stencilled tyres suit this Cobra perfectly. Also sitting on period correct Halibrand wheels. Originally built and owned by Sash, renowned car restorer and engine builder from AN Racing in Sydney, the car features a 364 cube Windsor engine pumping out 580hp at the flywheel. The engine is made up from a Dart block, Scat crank and rods, JE pistons, custom roller cam, AFR 210cc heads, Victor Jnr intake and lastly a 925cfm Pro Systems carbie. Helping to get all that power to the ground is a four speed Top Loader and a Jaguar Tru Trac rear end. Stopping power is taken care of by Jaguar discs all round.

In early 1963, General Motors' management banned divisions from involvement in auto racing. This followed the 1957 voluntary ban on automobile racing that was instituted by the Automobile Manufacturers Association. By the early 1960s, Pontiac's advertising and marketing approach was heavily based on performance. With GM's ban on factory-sponsored racing, Pontiac's managers began to emphasize street performance. The GTO underwent a few styling changes in 1967. The louver-covered taillights were replaced with eight taillights, four on each side. Rally II wheels with coloured lug nuts were also available in 1967. The GTO emblems located on the rear part of the fenders were moved to the chrome rocker panels. The grille was changed from a purely split grille to one that shared some chrome. The 1967 GTO was available in three body styles.
