1964 Daytona

[dzalik1]

Does anyone know how many were made with a vinyl roof? This car has about 45,000 miles on it.

Any idea to value?

Thanks

Also said something about a "thunderbolt" engine

With the vinyl top and 283 Thunderbolt, this sounds like a 1965 car.

Indeed.

Any idea to value? Guy says it was appraised at $10800

This must be a Canadian built '65 Daytona Sport Sedan, with a standard Vinyl covered roof, bucket seats and a GM 283 V-8. It is copied after the '64 Daytona Hardtop although it is just a dressed up 2 Dr. Sedan. To be worth anything over $3500.00 it would have to be in very fine fully restored (mechanically and cosmetically) condition. Not just a #3 or 4 cond. driver. [:0]

I agree with Rich.

But the first thing would be to verify the year. It does sound like a 65.

Dang!

And my wife -- long before she was my wife -- sold her No 2 condition '65 Daytona Sport Sedan (Bordeaux Red, black vinyl top, red interior with all the options except a/c) for $400 back in 1972. She called it a box on wheels that got only 14 miles per twenty-five-cent gallon of gas.

Hope that it doesn't have rust under the vinyl, most of the vinyls that I've had replaced over the years have had rust to varying degrees under the vinyl.
