In a Carpathian Village, an Ultra-Rare American Car from the ’60s Was Found

The Dodge Charger Daytona is a road version of a NASCAR racing car. Designed for high-speed ovals, the car received a streamlined front end and a massive rear wing. Incidentally, it is the world’s first production car with a rear wing.

The muscle car is equipped with the famous 7.0-liter V8 Hemi producing 425 hp. The Dodge Charger Daytona accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds, and its maximum speed exceeds 250 km/h. The Dodge Charger Daytona arrived in Ukraine in the ’90s. A local resident bought it while working in Canada and brought it back to his hometown. However, even then, the car required restoration, which never happened.

The Ukrainian later moved to Italy, and the muscle car was forgotten. We hope that now the car will be restored.
