The only 70 Daytonas known to exist are considerd fakes by the majority of the Mopar comunity (at least in the circles I travel) and are just 70 chargers that the owners had added Daytona parts to.
There was no 71 challenger TA (they were 70's)
The trex concept was bad &** not too many people remmber it though.

The Daytona, you're completely right. I messed up the years and I should be slapped.

The 71 Challenger T/A and the 70 Challenger R/T Hemi...dates are wrong and should be switched. :p

And I got a chance to see the TRex in person. The truck was so badass that it still ran low 16's in the quarter. I have a lot of specs on it. Torquey v10 Magnum. I love that truck

*edit*
PURE PWNAGE!
