The collector car market still has plenty of muscle in it.<\/p>\n

A rare 1969 Dodge Daytona has been auctioned for a record amount.<\/p>\n

The green coupe was sold at the Mecum Auctions Indy event for $1.32 million, eclipsing the model’s previous high mark of $900,000.<\/p>\n

Its green vinyl bucket-seat interior (code C6G) is the only one of its kind and features power seats, power windows, an AM\/8-track radio and air conditioning, which was still a luxury in the era.<\/p>\n

The final price paid for the fully restored Daytona was at the exact high end of the pre-auction estimate and broke the previous high mark of $900,000 that actor David Spade bought another four-speed 1969 Hemi Daytona for in 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
