The Daytona was a high-performance, limited-edition version of the Dodge Charger produced in the summer of 1969 for the sole purpose of winning high profile NASCAR races. The Dodge Daytona featured special body modifications that included a 23-inch-tall stabilizer wing on the rear deck, a special sheet-metal "nose cone" that replaced the traditional upright front grille, a flush rear backlight. It won its first race out, the inaugural Talladega 500 and its successor, the Plymouth Superbird won many races as well.
