The Daytona that Yates & Gurney won the 1971 Cannonball in is truly one of my dream cars. I am not sure the owner will ever part with it but if he does, it sounds like I would have some quirky ownership to look forward to.

[@unalienable5408]

[@redram5150]

As someone who has spent time in a Daytona and a 71 Vette, restored one, and learned to drive stick in it... I:m inclined to agree the Vette is built better. However, that's not a testament to the build quality of GM during the period

[@mm-vs1zt]

What else do you have to say about the Daytona? With this gentleman, it's the second time i hear this car drives like a truck, is it true? Is it that bad? A truly don't meet your hero car?

[@redram5150]

@@mm-vs1zt I'm referring to fit and finish primarily. I thought it drove and handled well, although I was a teenager and today I wouldn't trust my opinion regarding that particular detail based on my lack of driving experience at the time. Biggest thing to remember is there's "fast" and there's fast. Antique cars are "fast". Ground pounders of the old days were lucky to make 450hp, tires had a contact patch as wide as a credit card, and ran 14 sec 1/4 mile times if you were lucky.

I had a 1986 BMW e30 325is 6 cylinder with 5 speed manual, all the power options looks good no issues $1000 did basic maintenance to it and set of tires, sold back to the old owner who paid me $4000 when I told him only $1000. He was happy to have it back and get me $3000 as a buy back 2 years later.... might not have the hoses on the front but that was almost 18 years back and I last I seen he is still driving it.

[@matthines5150]

If you haven't attended Amelia, you should. While it is insanely awesome in terms of the cars on display, and located on a gorgeous exclusive property, it is anything but full of itself. You are just as likely to find yourself standing next to Wayne Carini or Magnus Walker as you are to find yourself next to someone wearing shorts and a NASCAR shirt. It is very high on enthusiast and low on attitude. The spirit is amazing and I lways end up talking to random strangers throughout the event. The other events around the Sunday show are also amazing [especially the Werks Reunion]. For the price of $100 [which goes to charity] - essentially half [or less] of some other notable events, you cannot beat the experience. Moreoever the impression is that the unique vision of Bill Warner himself - clearly the ultimate gentleman enthusiast - defines the experience. Also, FLA in March is a treat!
