It’s been a year since ExoMod first came across our radar after taking a modern Dodge Challenger and making it look like a classic 1968 Charger. Since then, the company based out of Greenville, Pennsylvania, has built a handful of other Challenger-based creations, and this is its latest; the D69 Charger Daytona.
This wild car started out life as a run-of-the-mill Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye but has since been outfitted with a carbon fiber body inspired by the iconic 1969 Dodge Daytona. Of course, the process of creating the car is very involved and first required ExoMod to strip the Challenger down to its safety cage before the rebuild process could begin.
ExoMod says it spent more than 2,000 hours crafting its homage to the Dodge Daytona. The craziest alterations have been made to the front of the Challenger, with the new bodywork making its best Daytona impression despite the different proportions, making it look a little odd. Other changes include a bespoke carbon fiber hood, unique quarter panels, and redesigned door skins to give it that retro feel.
While we’re not convinced by the car’s front end, things look a whole lot better at the rear. The obvious standout is the massive carbon fiber rear wing mounted to the squared-off arches, together with a pair of retro taillights surrounded by carbon fiber. ExoMod has also crafted a bold diffuser which works well with the rest of the design. New tailpipes exiting from the center also catch the eye, as do the Forgeline DE3C wheels with Dark Satin Bronze centers.
Some minor alterations have been made to the cabin of the Challenger with two-tone Italian leather upholstery now adorning the seats and door panels.

“The Dodge Daytona is perhaps the pinnacle of the muscle car movement of the late ‘60s. It represents raw power and aesthetics that appeal to every automotive enthusiast to this day,” ExoMod chief executive Rick Katzeff said. “Building a D69 Daytona has been a dream of mine for many years and I’m thrilled that we can now offer this vehicle to our clients with modern-day performance and peace of mind.”
While ExoMod has only built a single unit at this stage, it plans to build more. The price? A staggering $395,000.
