Knowing what him & his brother Geoff were like back then, the boat probably wasnt worth much more than £50 either :shock:

A few years on...
Anyway, the Superbee was owned & raced by Mick Chealy (sp?) up to about '79, then in the early to mid 80's by Chris Bond who added a 6 Pack & Nitrous to the 383, best I remember him running was a 12.0xx, never getting an 11.
Chris was from the Worcester area & drove it everywhere, even to Sweden one year, visiting the Mopar guys in the small towns around the country.

Anyone seen anything of the Daytona since it went back over the pond last year ...? I had a quick google a while back and I found some threads of people discussing it when it first came up for sale and as far as I know from the owner-after-Bob it DID go back home.
Nothing since though - I'd just be really interested to see how it looks now assuming someones going full restoration (it went with matching numbers engine etc). So if anyone comes by anything, post it up...
