This 1970 Fury Gran Coupe ordered with the Mod Top option
made it into Mopar Muscle magazine, and the owner decided to try and cash out, with an ebay auction, but there were no bids.

This mod top may have had one of the the strangest auction bidding wars, it opened at 10k, and sold for 440,000... in bid increments that never were more than 15k. Back in 2006, it failed to sell on eBay Motors with a high bid of $19,500.
If I remember correctly, there were not many Mod Top cars, and fewer had the full flower interior, and fewer still had the flower floor mats. This Formula S Mod Top Barracuda must be very rare indeed.
that must have been a long slow bidding event. that's about 50 bids... depending on the variety in the amounts, most were 10k, the largest was 15k, but the story doesn't say of there were any smaller than 10k

a Mod Top Satellite with the interior pieces, not just the vinyl top
“I learned it was a Mod Top when I picked up the car, because it still had the original material on the roof and inside,” says Barcroft. “I had simply wanted a good Satellite to drive.”
Why feature this goofy hippie shit? Cause in all the car world, the mod top flowery stuff was about the weirdest thing that any car maker did to their cars for sales.

WHOA! Stolen! The mod top Hemi Cuda of Steve Juliano, the only mod top Hemi Cuda, and worth 1.4 million bucks
Last featured in 2014 in Muscle Car Review, it was just this April when it was due to get loaded up and moved from the mansion in Pelham Manor (just North of the Bronx, between the golf courses and the country club) to the collection in Los Angeles, when the security company sent the alarm to Juliano. http://www.nydailynews.com/autos/news/plymouth-barracuda-worth-1-4m-stolen-westchester-home-article-1.2620854
Juliano owned Manhattan nightclubs and his father ran the Copacabana in Times Square. His collection of Mopar stuff is unmatched in the world. See the inside of his personal museum here: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/11/steven-juliano-collection-im-betting.html

Oh no... oh dear god no... it's hideous! My eyes! They burn! The only known Mod Top Daytona Chrysler built.
http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2016/01/02/four-links-roy-lunn-mod-top-daytona-vintage-snowplows-customized-race-transporters/ via http://www.mooresmopars.com/modtop112.html
One of 3 documented vinyl top Daytonas, and the only Mod Top, during the restoration it was determined conclusively that it was a design team "one of" creation built during the summer of 1969 while the vehicle was converted from an R/ T Charger into a Daytona Charger at Creative Industries.
It is speculated this was done for a show of some type but that has yet to be confirmed, another Daytona with a vinyl top was prepped for a show and that is fully documented. This particular car was sold new in British Columbia Canada at Plimley Dodge with the top installed when it arrived which has been confirmed.
During the restoration Mod Top material was found behind window clips and in places it could only have been placed when the car was being converted into a Daytona.
Further discussions with a design team employee conclusively confirmed that this is Chrysler Built-during the summer of 1969 Mod Top proto type with what most think is the ugliest flowered top pattern Chrysler ever built.
Duncan Mounsey, the staff engineer who created the legendary Mod Top material for the Dodge Design Team during the summer of 1969 in 4 unique colors and just before shipping it he cut 4 small samples off each colored roll and then shipped the 4 rolls of Mod Top material directly to Chrysler.
Mopar Collector's Guide magazine ran aticle on the car in Feb and March 2011.
The car is an SE Daytona one of 14 built with black interior and a white wing.
