Back in the 60s we used to go to the Crenshaw Shopping Center in Los Angeles and meet up with the street racers. Willie Robinson was a good man he didn't tolerate fighting between any of the racers no matter what race they were. He and his wife Tomiko raced as well.
I’m going out for
Man, I wish I had the money. Big Willie is a legend in the gear head world.
I owned a TV repair shop in Venice Ca, and Willie would come in for various equipment repair. Didn't know he was so renowned.
For you guys that haven't seen the movie, "TWO LANE BLACKTOP", one of Big Willie's Daytona's is in the first few minutes of the start of the movie racing, I believe, if memory serves me correctly, a Plymouth Cuda!! Great film!!👍
Thats his original red King Daytona in that scene. He had this car here, his red “King Daytona”, and a green “Queen Daytona” that his wife Kamiko drove. The green one was wrecked and totaled back in the day. He replaced it with this car here that was originally red and named it “Duke and Duchess”. This is a factory 440 car with the original engine. Big Willie put a Keith Black 426 Hemi in it to race. No one knows where that exact engine is. I think he ran Keith Black Hemis in all three of those cars.
I LOVE IT!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thats a nice daytona
I never knew about this car
*To me it's worth twice as much money.*
Very cool!!!!
The cars historical value with the livery it has should be left as is
And it's just cool as well.
Agreed. I went to Mecum in Kissimmee just to see this car!
Taking it back to factory would be like putting one of don farlets cars back to stock
I was in the stands watching this. So cool to see
You see me to the right of the ground camera on the right?
I do have the Johny lightning regular and the Gold Strike version of his car, as close as I'll get
Should’ve had a build modified motor. Everyone does a stock boring rebuild. Nobody left them stock back in the day.
🏎️
Would love to own it. All aluminum Keith Black 528 hemi? Just make it better. Definitely Keystone mags.
This has the 440ci engine in it, was a publicity car, the 528ci hemi king and queen daytonas are gone.
Big Willie would turn over in his grave.
Duke and Duchess here went for nothing compared to the ratty Black Ghost with its laughable “undefeated” street racing fairy tale. This car is a true street racing Legend along with his other Daytonas.
I myself think that car would have been worth a lot more money if it didn't have all the personal names all over it and it was just stripped down to the steel body. It's too personal.
You would have just another 440 winged car worth about $150k or so. This is a significant piece of muscle car history. Big Willie was a legend. What you’re suggesting would be like scrubbing Babe Ruth’s signature off a baseball. That it didn’t bring bigger money is more of a reflection of the type of audience who attends these auctions. A lot of these people are there for the impulse buy and aren’t the most savvy when it comes to a car like this. You’re talking a crowd of folks that just bid up a rusted out ratty Hemi challenger to well over $1 million…all because it had a fake street racing story attached to it that multiple outlets hyped up, including Dodge.
I disagree with using the word livery.... its a paint scheme...
Livery is the appropriate word here. Big Willie had all three of the Daytonas he campaigned done up in this format. All of them were highly recognizable and well known in the drag racing scene back then. His red King Daytona was in the opening credits of the old street racing cult classic Two Lane Blacktop.
@DucknCoverin but how is the word livery appropriate? Just because its got some graphics?
