The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona is the most extreme production car ever built in the muscle car era. The nosecone added 18 inches to the front of the car. The wing was tall enough to open the trunk lid. These were not styling exercises — every dimension was determined in a wind tunnel.

NASCAR homologation rules required manufacturers to build 500 street-legal examples. Chrysler built 503. Most of them were bought by regular people who wanted a fast Mopar and had no idea they were buying a race car for the road.

The wing cars command extraordinary prices today. A documented original is a seven-figure car. The replicas built on regular Charger shells are a fraction of that and offer the same visual impact.
