Only 505 units were built of the Dodge Charger Daytona for model year 1969 – it was the most conspicuously styled Dodge of all times and served as homologation model for the Dodge stock cars entered in NASCAR races; it was available at a price of 3,860 US dollars. The road-going version of the model was powered by the Hemi 426 (seven liters) with 425 hp or a slightly more sedate 375 hp 440; the tuned racing version reached speeds in excess of 200 mph (over 320 km/h) on oval racetracks.
