I've gotta admit, it DOES have the Joe Dirt vibe...

That Thunderbolt scoop is one of the few that seems to look good with the stock Superbird fender scoops. Of course, no hoodscoop screams "1960s" more than a T-Bolt!

It looks like some red paint is bleeding through. I'd like to read even more about the history of Big Willie's Daytona.

Justice would be him being able to buy it back. Though I think that will only happen if he sells his house.

Here is the motor that was suppose to go in that car-all alum Kieth Black Street Hemi. The Hemi is currently being freshin up and restored.

EthelkilledFred:

I dug out an old "Car Life" magazine profile of Big Willie and Street Racers, Inc. from 1969 over the weekend. It clearly shows Big Willie with a red Daytona sponsored by a local Dodge Dealer. Is this the same Daytona that's currently for sale? If so, why the respray? If not, what happened to the red Daytona?

And what's the story behind that Imperial in the background of the KB hemi photo. Was Big Willie doing field research for Iacocca's Diplomat-based Fifth Avenue?
