Love it.

Re: 20 years ago....
Interesting to see the differences between the 2 designs. Looks like the leading edge of the Bird is a bit lower than the Daytona? Maybe less front end lift?
Must say I prefer the Daytona front.

Re: 20 years ago....
The height may be due to Torsion Bar Adjustment.
Hands down, the Daytona is a better car, better finished and more attractive.
I always wanted a Daytona with a 'Bird Wing as I prefer the shape!!!!
Like I always wanted a '69 Charger with '68 Rear Lights!!! I'm a bit odd like that!

Re: 20 years ago....
Twenty years ago….that’s when I first started paying attention to Mopar. Where has that time gone?
Agree that photo would be ideal for a nostalgia book. What a pair of vehicles…did you have that garage custom built, there’s no way standard UK garages would take them!

Re: 20 years ago....
I was lucky that there was a (crap) garage was already there, and the base was in good condition, so a replacement was easily purchased and erected.

I had the coldest dampest workshop in the world back then, don’t know how I stuck it out for so long when I think back…

Re: 20 years ago....
Great car, awful location, I used to dread visiting in the winter for the cold and damp, and in the summer for the variety of "Visitors" that would wander into the yard.....
