For Sale: Who Wants To Buy A Funny Car?! This Dodge Daytona Just Might Be Your Next Race Car!

I’ve been keeping an eye out for an old funny car body to put up in my shop, and so I also sometimes find complete or project funny cars that are for sale. This one here is a project that is in need of some love but that is in pretty good shape. Other than a couple of helmet bars that need to be added to the cage, it could be certified and ready to run as a nostalgia funny car and we approve. It’s setup for a big block Dodge, which is weird since it needs a Hemi to be right, but we won’t judge you for whatever you put in it.

This car was built to be a backup and then never ever finished. It has “old” parts on it that have never actually been used. The brake system never had fluid put in it even. Check out the description below and let us know what you think.

Seller’s Description: CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE ORIGINAL AD

Chassis was built by Frank Castellano in 1980 for Steve Group NHRA Driver and to the best of his knowledge, the car was a backup car for Steve and not ever finished or raced. This was confirmed by the brake system never having any fluid in any of the lines. Multiple new parts have been installed: New front tires, I have a new brake master cylinder, rear end completely went through and has a 3rd member in it but no axles, all new heim joints on all the suspension and more, several spare rear brake parts and new Dodge Big Block Dodge Funny car headers, still in the box. Chassis was inspected, but not certified, it needs an extra set of helmet bars. Chassis was sand blasted down and properly repainted. Body is a 1984 Dodge Daytona and will need repair but is repairable and fit to the chassis.

  1. It's 80 degrees in Hawaii . . . again

    This would a great Roland Leong Hawaiian Punch tribute car. Now only if I can convince my other half that its a full size model kit. Hmmm???

      One (of two) of the original Hawaiin Punch bodies is sitting in the rafters in a barn in Santa Maria, CA; a friend of mine has it. This one appears to have a long nose overhang on it.

      Still, it would be a cool car to have.
