That is a Daytona.

The wheels are known as Aero wheels. They are almost identical to the standard N89 wheel except for the sealed lip.

 

WOW !!! That's a VERY VERY rare Daytona !!

RHD,5-speed,AUS only rear taillights

I am thinking about buying it...is 6500 too much? Do most people Restore them to original or change them? ( kitt replica, black etc)

 

Depends on how much $6500 AUD is in USD.

It's impossible for us to tell you this, as nobody here likely knows anything about the Australian market.

 

Aus 6500 is US 6800. It is getting really hard to find any TAs now especially with T tops..if I was to buy it, is it advisable to "keep" it as a a Daytona and not modify the body?

 

Let's see only 520 5-spd DT500's made,Who knows how many are still around let alone in Australia !!


So in this case the "Australian market" is irrelevant for a collector car like this.


Waveformkid,I WOULD recommend you buy it as long as you plan on keeping it FACTORY STOCK !!,If you want a T/A to "Play" with or Customize,turn into a KITT,Then I suggest you keep on looking for a regular bird.


Just my 2 cents

Thanks for that. Getting really hard to find a good one especially with t tops.

 

wow that is a neat car, if you get it please restore it to stock.
