Did you try to google the vin or daytona production number?[/QUOTE ive tried looking up some vin tag decoder info found not much i may be typing it in wrong going to head back out there tonight and check it out how is the wing mounted is it have studs that run through the bed rails if so there would be signs of something like that everything from a visual looks totoaly right on the money inside and out just that wing is whats has me kinda worried lol
There were just over 10,000 Dodge Ram Daytona made. They were available in Bright Silver Metallic and Go ManGo Orange in both Single and Quad Cab with 4x2 and 4x4 versions.
Proof that more than 10,000 were produced is I own #10731, which was born on July 28, 2005. This appears to be the last days of the 2005 production line and may in-fact be one of the last if not the last Daytona produced.
i believe that they made them in 2005 & 2006
the 2005 production year back then was July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005
the 2006 production year was July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006
What color is the truck you are buying? If it is the Gomango than it almost has to be real since a full respray would cost a lot to have done.
If it silver its not hard to add decals. if it has the dash number and has the Daytona door panels then there is a good chance it is real, also check to see if it has the factory Borla exhaust still on it or if that has been changed.
Pictures of the interior and exterior would help a lot.

Its the go mango and the inside has all the daytona door trim and the daytona badge with the production number let me see if i cant post some pics later got to go back and download them from my phone i even saw where they had placed body plugs from where the wing was mounted to and yes i crawled under the truck and looked and saw the borla system is still in place and in very good shape :smileup::smileup::smileup:
hello got the pics downloaded someof them are not the best in quality (cell phone) but you can still see the overall deatails let me know what ya think ill be picking it up tomarrow after work still pretty excited about it
we got him down to 10,000 took in 3,000 down so i only had to borrow 7,000 which in turn kept my payments 200 a month and for the miles just fliped 107,000 and its a 4x2
Greetings, It sure looks like a real Daytona to me. I just got one about a month ago. Mine has 31242 mile on it. It is a 4 x 4. Go Manago Orange. # 3787. If you got it for 10 That is a Deal. Just put nerf Bars on it. Cover on the bed of mine too. Had windows tinted. Enjoy!!!!
