Stinger390X Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Well folks................I may have my Stinger 260 sold??? (hopefully) and that means I now have a couple of dollars to throw towards a Daytona.I have actively been seeking one now for over two years and looking them over scrupulously and with suspicion on some! I have found eleven so far for sale across United States and one in Canada, and am narrowing it down slowly.I am however seriously thinking of getting one over in London Ontario next weekend, as I am travelling there to look at it. (only a two hour drive from me)I have seen some nice ones in Indiana, Ohio and NC which are all standards as I am not keen on the automatic version.Wish me luck for the sale of my boat and let the bidding begin for me on these rare Daytonas.

COOPER&BURNETT Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'm eagerly waiting to live vicariously thru YOU!!!Having BOTH a Stinger, AND a DAYTONA is off the charts cool! (Like having a stinger isn't already enough)! Having BOTH? I mean, who can touch that?? Good Gawd! You'd be in a class all your own.Pal,...I WANNA BE YOU!

Not everything is MIAMI VICE, as I have mentioned before, I also collect WW II / Korea leather flight jackets, and any kind of jacket that is of interest to me. Many I just don't wear, but I choose not to part with them.The MIAMI VICE style clothing collection is growing by the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote']I looked at one a few years ago with a burnt hood and the rest of the body had some serious cracks all over it. I could have fixed them but the hood was immensely damaged from a carburetor fire. I now lament that I didn't buy that car. He only wanted seven grand for it at the time! (I should have bought it back then!!! damn..)My friend told me its in Niagara Falls somewhere in a garage all rebuilt as one of my other buddies rebuilt the engine for it. That I know is a fact as I spoke to Joe the engine rebuilder but the guy who owns the car remains a big secret. he wants to be annonmous like our favourite headless friend....hahahahahhahahahaAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh rumours........You know how it is?

I have been looking for this one for almost three years until I found one local.I will post pictures next week when I finish the paint job on the model and interior too.by the way... now I can actually concentrate on getting the real macoy!Anyone want to buy a boat?

Stinger390X Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 When I took the pictures today at the Marina I went into the office and showed them to the office gal there. She thought they were absolutely authentic, so I decided to post them.Not bad for a cheap camera?I got a good giggle out of it. I hope you did too?

Stinger390X Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have the Red Daytona all apart now and I am painting it on Monday evening. I'm doing it in Sikkens Base/Clear. Hopefully it will look wet and deep? I love it when black shines...I'll post some picks of it after I get it put back together again...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Make sure to not touch the paint for quite a while, even if your tempted. One wet spot, and one fingerprint in wet paint, you'll be kicking yourself.Take your time. It will be well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
