84 Dodge Daytona TurboZ

[Mike C]

There was also a TV cop show in the 80's that had a Daytona in it. It was called Hunter.

Great build

But why is there what looks like a square hole in the rear glass?

Good to see my little Dodge bring back some good memories. You point a double mistake I've made Harry, when collecting pictures before doing the kit, I've seen some with this on rear window but that was the one with rear wiper option, which my kit didn't have, and if it was the case, it should be a little more on the left side

Neat looking build, nice work!

Not a mistake and it has nothing to do with the rear wiper.  See in this photo, it's the center mounted stop light. A little large on your model, but still belongs there.

With optional rear wiper. offset to the left. If car came without the rear wiper, no black box visible.

Third brake light didn't become mandatory until 1986.

Great looking Daytona build, never had a real Daytona, but I did have a 4dr Hatch Lebaron with that engine and the 3sp Auto, very unsuspecting car.

 

Speaking of Detective McCall, apparently her Daytona flew some, much like the General Lee, KITT, and Fall Guy Truck

This is a great build.....Like a few others, it brings back memories.....Lol....I never had one of these, but I did consider it.....Remember the movie, "The Wreath", with Charlie Sheen ??..I think the car in the movie was blue and then appeared in another color with a SERIOUS motor dropped in.....

Nice kit of a seldom-seen subject. You'd have to go back in time to about late '85 to see a 1:1 '84 Daytona that clean.

Wow... Black Moon Rising. I remember it being a pretty terrible movie by John Carpenter standards. I also remember the scene right at the beginning where Tommy Lee Jones tries to buy a cup of coffee at a gas station, but before he can do that, it is robbed. All I'll say is don't make TLJ angry before he's had his morning cup of Joe.
