Dr Daytona Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 In the Eighties and Ninties, I made the most accurate Daytonas in the U.S. as Turn -Key cars called the Daytona GTS, as well as Building Every Version out there of the Corvette windshield kits. If anyone needs parts for McBurnie type kits,or any Kit, the parts are still available for repairs etc.Right to whole kits. Feel free To Message me if you need help. We still Build the GTS on a limited basis also. Go to www.FerrariDaytonaReplica.8m.net if you want to see some of our Daytonas, Clearly the most Beautiful Ferrari ever Made!!!Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger390X Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hello Mike and a special welcome from me indeed!I have actively been searching for a Daytona for the last couple of years. I tried to make a deal on one a few months ago by trading my Offshore Speed Boat for it but the guy was not into boats.As soon as my Stinger 260 sells I will definitely be buying one of about nine that I have scoped out for sale across America.I have narrowed it down to two definites as they are standard shifts and also black.I did look at a wreck in California but it was too far to bring back at a reasonable price.Do you still have the moulds for the outer shell? I saw a set of moulds for sale on Ebay a few months ago and they got scooped up. Personally I don't own a chopping gun but I know some boat builders that could blow the mould for me. Too bad I did not get a chance to scoop the moulds as I also considered buying them. You know..."you snooze...you loose"I did find a car here in Canada but it was in very rough shape. The doors were all split and the hood was burnt as there was a carburetor fire! I took a pass on the car and now it too has dissapeared?

Dadrian Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 the first thing i noticed was mr. daytona's more accurate seats, which are very different from the MV daytona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger390X Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I think if we are to discuss the differences I can see a couple of obvious ones right off the bat.The seats have been mentioned and the wheel flares are non existant on these (just like the real ones!) In the series Sonny drove the McBurnie cars which had a much wider wheel well opening with flares to cover the wide stanse tires.I also noticed the side vent windows and the way the tailights were arranged.(properly)Nice job Mike! Although if I had to choose I do actually prefer the wide flares if I was to ever get one of these cars. Don't know why I just like the contours...Kind of like the difference between a 65 Shelby and a 67. Much modified wheel openings. I like the 67 much more.I suppose it's a matter of personal taste?

Stinger390X Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Mike...I am looking at a Daytona right now that I have found but it has the old flip up lights. Do you stock the glass lenses to cover the lights? I would lke to disable the vacuum lifts and just cover the lights to give a more authentic look to the vehicle.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Does mike have a way to contact him on his site to let him know he has questions here. People are starting to wonder if he's going to be a one hit wonder with one post.Mike would make a very interesting member here, ...if he participates.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Welcome' date=' Dr Daytona and I too have had an interest in the Daytona replicas for quite some time. I went to your site and noticed the comment "These are not Miami Vice type cars..." and am curious what you are trying to contrast? Thanks and, again, Welcome![/quote']I believe what he's saying is that these are not the style of replicas that MIAMI VICE used which were based on the real daytona, but his versions try to accurately replicate a true daytona (curved window, side vents, no chrome vice style door handles, less tire flair etc.). I've seen his site before, and the replicas are VERY good copys of the real deal.I'm wondering. Seems to me he's located in the UK, if I'm correct.

"Dr. Daytona"One hit wonder...The board welcomes anyone that wants to share new ideas, features, or even products. But if you are here to sell your items without wanting to join our board, then you will be shunned.I'd love to buy a Daytona from him if I had the money. But unless he is going to be an active member of this board along with his pitch for a car sale, then I say, sorry bud! Not welcome!
