Hope everyone understands our reasoning here! Amazing car, just not right for us! If it didn’t cost so much it’d be fun to have, but that’s a hefty investment sitting around. 100% worth the trip to see it, hope you guys enjoyed it. For now, we will keep our eyes peeled for more wild potential projects!

I'd daily drive it. Do it for Dale, daily!

Honestly Cleetus no I do not understand why you didn't get that charger I've seen this thing in a few other videos and its one of the sickest cars simply put and yes I do understand your points about the uniqueness of it and fixing things god forbid they broke but you have a hella lot of $ knowledge talent and you know the right people that you would be able to fix anything on that car from the chassis to the body and more than likely make it even better than it already is just my .02cents hey maybe you should hit the guy back up n see if it's been sold yet you can use it as a car that you ask your subscribers what type of things and events they want to see you do with it I guarantee it would be one of the better investments you've made for your channel I rarely ever comment on anybody's videos at all but that charger speaks to me and it needs to be seen not sitting in that guys garage forever or go to someone not like you who will crash it or just ruin the thing so I hope you read this comment and take heed to it. PS. Don't listen to me I don't know Nothing but Dale3 said do it brother! Murica

Cool car but way to much yyall could build that yourselfs with a little emagination because i could and im just a little ol Maine car builder raised by a old rubber burning car building hippy but building stuff out of nothing is priceless

Dayton Corl are you sure it wasn’t a spoked wheel you were named after?

cleetus mcfarland your guy’s knowledge is impressive. there were so many car purchases i wish to god i could have had him with me on it is unreal. he is incredible knowledgeable and he knows how to tell you what you need to know without insulting the seller. that dude’s a great asset for you so i sure hope you treat him right.

So just saw this pop up again of course it’s a Cleetus vid so half to watch it. An whooooo can we get this car to the freedom factory now ????

Mi 1st tim here✌️

Useless awesomeness is what this is.

Man what a car !!

To each there own, ILL STAY WITH MY Mercedes G500.

Sounds like a million eagles just hanging out

That’s car is so ugly that’s ugliest Daytona

Dude y’all guys were like 30 min from where I’m from

Wish I had the money and know how to make my own dream car like this. Happy for the guys who built it though.

joe the finger bidun head of bidun crime family lock them all up

I’d love to see Dodge reintroduce this beauty,

I don't know what you guys are do the channel with this card useless is nobody out there racing altogether cook it yourself a fun car like a Bob Carr will they go arenas of the jump in they race around a little crazy track something fun that something goes 7 second korra Michael's of the decades old burnouts get old drifting gets old he is you're not racing each other

Cars useless to you O get yourself a formula one car that's the idea what you're trying to get with the wing in the speed and accuracy and all the details

I think y’all missed the deal of a life time

Quit spending money on stupid stuff, grow up;

Ill buy it but im only 15 and dont have money haha

That’s the most badass car I’ve ever seen. Sucks that you didn’t buy it, but your reasoning makes sense and I respect your decision. If you can’t hoon around in it, what’s the point?

It is a beautiful car but would rather see you'll build one up yourself with your style brother.

Get it! It's bad ass

Bust out some moldings put a few together & test your mod skills. Drag one, drift one, sell them and make your money back, then your learning curve makes the sky the limit... making parts, selling prototypes, get that museum piece for FREE! There are people out there that will jump on one of those specifically built for their needs. But what do I know? There is a whole crowd of people that live by " Mopar or NO car!" I dig your enthusiasm Y'ALL rock!

5:35 is that a pinto wagon lol😂🔥

Imagine buying this guys land after he dies and popping the garage doors open to them cars👀

The Scraptona would make such an awesome exhibition car! I would haul it and even drive it short distances to car shows. I mean... just to look at it brings a whole new meaning to the word, "wood."

Good call on that 1 guys! Hate 2 see a rare classic get abused like that!!

While the Scraptona is a very cool piece of engineering, I personally wound rather have a nice modded Daytona Clone made up for around $100k or so instead.

Why don’t you guys build your own based on a similar design? Get a barn find or a yard find and put your own spin on it... you have the skills

You can get every Dodge charger from Auto metal direct.

Uggh what a damn tease lol

I would buy it

Event though this would be a great addition to you collection, I understand how much you don't want to ruin something potentially irreplaceable on the car. Daily driving it would be fun and entertaining, but even the small things can damage something big.

If you dent it.... It blends in with the rest

That vet in the back looks amazing

Look incredible

that Dale car in the background tho...

I wonder what its lap time would be on the Freedom Factory

LOL, my girlfriend asks: "Why would you buy a car you won't drive properly?" And I reply: "Says the person that spends 3 days looking up handbags between $2000 and $9000 dollars..." Nuff said

Honestly Leroy and Ruby are better then this beast. The Dale truck is amazing as well.

Not even close.

Mans. Car. ..too much car for you

If you ever get it you could call it "Patch"!!

It's the blue car from cars the one that crashed

I’ll take it over a real daytona , if i can’t sell what i get

Not your average wide body kit

Holyshit

if was me I'd buy after looking at all they did to that car shit it would be running down the road

You should’ve made it the Freedom Factory pace car

Dzus pins is the word

Do it for Dale! Pull the trigger

Should have, regerts are real YouTube dose not reward sound reasoning.

Too bad. Seems like it would be a good unit for high speed records at the flats or something.

Hard On Suddenly that car looks dope af !!!!!!!

Man....money must be growing on trees at Cleeta's home. Like the idea of a museum though...that has potential. Would like to see the entire fleet on display at the FF in a showcase area. Some of his sponsors who've chipped in big bucks for Cleeta (eg.Texas Speed) over the last 12mths, must be thinking, if this guys got so much money, how come he isn't buying kit from us, given we're now getting smaller exposure because he's drag racing less...they'd have to be thinking they're getting the raw end of the deal right now 🤔

That thing looks like crap to me, custom undercarriage aside. Finished out it would be beautiful indeed but it looks like a rust bucket as is.

That's the point. It's beautiful.

Cleetus you slipped...Sho u ldda bought The DaleTona

I wanna take that to Bonneville..

@CleetusMcFarland Hear me out.....ive had this idea. Cleetus McFarland - A Florida Man Story (Documentary on how you became cleetus, how you met james and coop and have words from jh and james and coop and spicy spence and other friends talk about how they met you and fun times, words from texas speed, nitto, holley, and summit and basically document how you got to where you are now, the cars new and old, crazy projects, funny/sketchy moments, running leroys first 7 sec pass, and ultimately ending with how you got desoto speedway and renamed it to the freedom factory. Cool drone shots and *maybe* try to get Dale Earnhardt Jr to be in it as well. Its something thats been on my mind and even if its like 3 hours long id literally watch the whole thing. Have the final shot be all of the current cars lined up side by side apl with red white and blue tire smoke and do one HUGE standing burnout and the screen fades as the colored smoke goes into the sky. Come racing at Huntsville Dragstrip - Huntsville, Al :)

86k$$ nty

I wish this could have replaced the El Camino projects

When that car is pulling back into the garage holy shit that thing is beautiful

this would look mighty fine at that freedom producing factory u have.

I'm sure you knew what you was going to look at before hand, especially having to travel out of state. So you should should have known how or if it would fit into your "fleet" . But Nice Tred Wear ad... I'm guessing they're having a hard time finding a buyer for the bird and reached out for help.... I could be wrong but its what makes more sense to me... I love your content but just had to call it as i see it.

I'd have bought it in a heartbeat. Just to have it.

If I were him, I would buy that beat up Daytona and RESTORE IT.

Build your own !!!

That’s also my dream car

Mike Finnegan is going to be so jealous of whoever does end up with this cool Charger 😎

Pace car

Half mile drag racing! Would be perfect

I was smitten like you guys when I first saw it. But you called it right; this car's best function for your purposes would be just to sit outside the offices of the Freedom Factory for people to take pictures of as they head to the concessions, and that would be a waste of car.

Honestly I could tell you guys had no intention of buying that car from the start. You pretty much said that it was something to do. Just to touch it. Keywords tire kicker.

This needs to sit in the entry way of the freedom factory

This could be the queen of the freedom factory today hell yeah

You have a damn circle track with a fat skid pad brother. Hate to say it, but you questioning that purchase so hard just made so many bald eagles leave the nest and watch from a distance

This would fit right in at the freedom factory

Junk.

Joe Dirt much?

Show car for sure, not for fun. Good decision.

CLEETUS!!!, I just thought of you when I saw this Superbird tribute. Have you ever viewed BAT auctions? Scroll to below the pictures to read the viewers comments. This has been auctioned before, but didn't meet reserve. There's only a few hours left on this auction. I'll meet you if you buy it for the ride back...shotgun!!! Click this: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-plymouth-superbird-tribute/

Imagine being the kid riding his big wheel in the driveway when Scraptona passed at 75mph turning 3500.............

I love it when Alabama pops up in the title of videos

Bro this would look amazing driving around your track. Too bad...could have even used it as a pace car.

James is an encyclopedia of cars

it's a sick car if you're okay with it just sitting around and looking pretty. get it if you race it like they used to and take it to shows or whatever. but good choice. some rich guy might walk in there and buy it to have the car sit around in his garage

This car needs to come to the freedom factory and put in some laps

GOOD CHOICE!!!

Oh my god.. that thing 👌

"flying to alabama in airplane and flying back home in charger daytona"

What a pile lol no thanks

https://youtu.be/AjckhTectGQ under 5k 25k in it

Its more a madmax car.

You could tell Cleatus wanted it but James made some good points about it being one off parts. But again why own it if you wont enjoy it. Still good call on passing it up.

Grew up rebuilding a Daytona with my dad only one in Alaska that's not a kit car. That's an amazing car!

saw it on SEMA 18, absolutly dream car material!!!

I wouldn't that for that one of they closed in the back even whit sheet metal and a tub it would have been better and the fact y'all didn't build it so

Use it and the Dale Truck as a pace car at the Freedom Factory

Does it knock

AMD reproduction Mopar parts are basically it, but they are pricy as hell, so good choice not trying to drift it😂 Graveyard Carz, JunkerUp, and some other YouTubers are keeping Mopar alive though.

"They're hittin' us with the vibes." LOL!!

Just noticed you seem to be doing well with the new race track etc ......genuinely happy for you bud regardless you have a mullet lol

why is there a 16th century spanish flag on top of that car....? /s
