It seems there’s been a crop of famous race cars on eBay lately, but the Dodge Daytona raced by NASCAR legend Buddy Baker back in the day stands out from all the overpriced never-rans and should’ve-beens that have been popping up recently. This Daytona was the car that Baker drove to victory in the 1970 Southern 500, the very race we’re going to be watching this Saturday night at Darlington Raceway. The seller says it’s been cleaned and detailed, but not restored, and that “it is just as it was last raced in 1970.” The following year, NASCAR outlawed the big hemi, and Mopar entries would’ve been running 305′s. Looks like this Number 6 got out of the game just in time. Check out the auction on eBay!
