The most exciting period of NASCAR was the late ’60s when rules allowed some modifications to car bodies to make cars more aerodynamic. Of course, the condition was to apply those changes to regular production examples and sell a limited number of such cars to the general public. Most manufacturers jumped to this opportunity and created Aero racers, or specially designed cars, homologated for the races (via Supercars).

One of the most famous and influential was the 1969 Charger Daytona, produced in just 504 examples and strictly as a homologation special. Dodge decided to go all out and create a racing car with a special front end, flush rear glass, and a big rear spoiler. The Charger Daytona was one of the first cars to be developed in a wind tunnel and used new materials in construction. Out of around 500 built, only 70 received Hemi engines, and today they are worth insane sums of money.
