Delusional Charger sellers

[darbgnik]

A 1969 RT/SE for $19k - compared to the other rotten plain jane '68 (see previous post), this is a steal and it looks like it was that cool copper color as well!
However, the fact that he is including full frame rails is NOT encouraging.

Car looks reasonably dry. Add says:

New rear frame rails as they had been cut out years ago to pro street the car

Seen this on Facebook, 1973 Charger $8000.00

Even if this was a running complete and together car he would be hard pressed to get 8k. But not completely put together, missing: driver's bucket seat, windshield and hood. And oh NO DRIVE TRAIN!!!

Copy & pasted description from the seller on FB:
Seller's Description
For sale is this 1973 Dodge Charger 2 door hard top. The car is in real good shape. Very little rust to fix. Car comes with parts and some extra parts. The car does not come with engine or trans.,hood,front drivers seat, windshield. Asking $8000.00 or best offer.



Nice solid roller but it's a 1973 non rallye and no drive train.

The trunk floor installed with the mirror hanging from the door tells me whatever was done
Will need to be redone. 
This needs everything,what's a fair price? I'm interested to see what people would pay.

I went to the sellers shop last year to look at a 69 r/t in better condition for 37,500. What I learned when I got there was all the body work had been done but the car was just a rolling body. Everything else needed to be replaced and for 37,5k for a rolling body was too much for anyone to pay.

The shop had a ton of impalas and a few other MOPARS but everything was astronomically priced. The owner kept telling me people were paying 200k for restoration for a late 50s impala. I thanked him for his time and didn't even make an offer for the charger as he was looking to restore the car and sell it thinking the car could be worth 150k. I get that the cars do sell but that was low optioned r/t non matching motor and transmission just s run of the mill r/t as it sat.

The sellers shop oddly enough is right across the street from Stokers hot rod factory which has some really cool 30s and 40s era hot rods

Full Restorations are in fact north of 125,000 and you will be upside down,rule of thumb if your car is worth 1/2
Of the total cost your about right, now that's a nut and bolt resto not a half ass hack job.

Something odd about this one - auto console, ad says 4 speed, no under hood shots, missing interior, etc.  Primer, little much for $35.k

I wonder if it was the other '68 pictured in the background, down the road in the one picture? It looks like he might be selling two......

The picture in the add is by a person who offers a ready for paint and interior charger for sale for 25k pick from 68, 69, or 70 for 25k.

Without a drivetrain?

Without a drivetrain?

The cars are supposed to have complete drive trains. I spoke to the seller and they basically get the bodywork done and get the car to driving condition and ready to sell. They can complete the car or sell them for the buyer to finish up the car but they usually sell the cars for 25k or around that number. The cars are supposed to have correct era drivetrains.

I'd like to know if anyone has bought a car a car and get some feedback on it before making a purchase. All the horror stories of HPLAG and the numerous reincarnations of him have me questions outfits that turn out charger projects

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Never seen a headrest with this kind of a dent in it. Must have been stored with something heavy on to of it.

[1968Fever]

For what it's worth, this car was gone in 48 hours after listing even though the ad is still active.  I believe the car in the background is an RT and has also been sold.  The seller told me this today.

All I know about the $35K car is that it had no fender tag.

The rust color is appropriate

I wonder, if you sent that car off to be dipped, would anything come back? Tires, seats and rear axle?

99% of all chargers are delusional prices now. It's almost impossible for the ones like me to buy one that are trying to get into the game at this time. Seems like it's $15,000 rust buckets and sometimes $30,000+ for non XS solid project cars. If there is a deal out there you can bet a damn flipper has just bought it and it'll be reposted the next day for 2-3 times what they paid for it. I'm about ready to give up.

[alfaitalia]

Well the flipper managed to buy them....just gotta be quicker than him!

The deals are out there, you just need to be more diligent.
I bought this wrecked and not too rusty '70 383 car for $5000.
I still shake my head thinking that it was a fair price for a car that needed so much work but that is the market these days!
