If I can find a 4 speed 69 r/t real quick, I'll let him have it

If I can find a 4 speed 69 r/t real quick, I'll let him have it

make one then....adding a 4 speed is not all you need to know is how to weld  other than that I think you have a good deal on your heads at 30k for a non matching body.....

as the joke has said on my end I couldn't even sell my shell for 5k 

[chapel40]

Ive also heard a lot of stories about how someone offered a high price and they never get another offer like it. Follow your heart

[tan top]

 all good advice from the other guys  

difficult    30k is 30k , but  where are you going to find another black with blue  69 R/T SE , .....rare color  combo & a rare charger ! , weather it has the original matching # engine  or not . think your kick your self , in the long run selling this car ,  like what the others guys say , i'm sure with your charger  detecting  skills , if there are any other hidden second generations out there , your find them , but will they be a find of a life time like this black with blue R/T SE .... I doubt very much ..... unless ... there are  still hidden  unrestored 1968 1969 1970 , original Hemi cars , rare color & option combo  R/T  & R/T SE , original R/T  440 four speeds ,  V codes   , XX29 aero charger 500 & daytonas  , that could be had for the price you paid for the black with blue R/T SE ...   in the same condition    30k is a lot of dough , for a car needing total restoration , then again look how much  some of the over priced second generation perfumed pigs  are ebay , that need stripping down & starting again   etc    
nother thing to consider , if the owner of the black blue R/T SE , said  well CBR you been hounding me to buy this car for 20 years , ok i'll let you buy it , but don't sell it on , i'll  only sell it to you if you restore it  , & you say yea yea ok , I always wanted this car etc . its kind of going against your word  ,  & in the crazy world of the internet , we all know you can do what you like with your own car etc , BUT  might not go down well with some people ..... maybe im straying off track a little to your original question ,   final word doubt very much you will top that R/T SE  un less you can find one of the other chargers i've mentioned above .

good luck , what ever you decide  

30k is a lot of dough 

[Mopar Nut]

I wouldn't sell your dream!

[TPR]

You said it, it's the coolest and rarest Charger you have.
Keep it, bring it back to life and enjoy it for a while.
Hang on to that guys number and then put a 70k price tag on it.

[garner7555]

I would sell it. 
1. You gave him a price and he accepted it.   ( I don't like to go back on my word, regardless)   
2.  I don't care about all the numbers matching, cool rare options.   Yes black on blue is a cool option, but if it were my car I would change the color combo to something I liked better anyway.       
3.  30k bucks would go a long way on your other cars since you do all the labor yourself. 


But at the end of the day, all that matters is which you would rather have:  $30k  or the car.   

[charger chris]

Out of the 15 chargers you don't have a 4 speed rt . Horder  hmmmm. Lol

[Laowho]

Sell it to him on the condition that you restore it for him. Win-win. It's like yer both in love w/ the same woman, and there ARE other options to dueling.

[redgum78]

I hope you don't take offense to my opinion here but you gave him a price, he inspected the car and agreed to pay.
My worth is you should sell it regardless of all the other factors.

Its a cool car which makes it hard, but you have said the price is more than fair. I think the right thing to do is call the guy up and go through with the agreed deal if he is still interested.

[1974dodgecharger]

why are people calling this RARE when in reality he even said no engine no transmission nothing is matching all he has is fender tag.....its not rare if its missing everything. 

[Moparsaver]

2 words...... Wedding reception.          You have many cars but you only have 1 bride to be.   Sell it and bank some money for your special day.                 Spend the rest as you see fit.    

[lukedukem]

I think to much time has passed. The guy probably had had time to think it over and ifnyou call him up he might change his mind.

Honest question: do you want a "restored" R/T SE? It doesn't really seem like your style. Because, for what it is, you won't be happy straying from stock - but you also won't be happy driving it stock.

I'd have helped him load it on the trailer.

Troy

That's a good point! If you are NOT to restore to original specs ( I dunno know you enough to confirm that or not ) let it go to someone who will make it! Custom cars can be build from any shell

[Nacho-RT74]

Thats what got me dissapointing on the second replied I posted. Is not anymore THAT special, although would be interesting get it to original specs yet though

[70 sublime]

The question I have not seen the answer to yet

How did you buy the car in the first place from the guy that had it 20 years ?

Did he sell it to you just because you were there on the right day with too much money in your pocket ?

Or because you could tell him everyplace you saw it sitting in his yard and always watched for it when you drove by and you would take it home and restore it to its former beauty as you have other Charger projects and know what you are doing and SOMEDAY BRING IT BACK TO SHOW HIM ?? 

[TeeWJay426]

30K for a shell needing full restoration, with no drivetrain? If it was me, it would already be gone.

[DAY CLONA]

I'd have taken the $30k, bought a road ready Charger, some beer & taken it to the body shop to paint it the color I want. 

Best response so far....

[73rallye440magnum]

I bet your guts will turn seeing it leave on a trailer, but take the offer before he changes his mind.

I once restored a numbers matching 4 speed R/T. It was excellent and my son learned to drive a 4 speed with that car. We moved from farm to town and I advertised it for sale at a price less than what it was worth on eBay because I did not know what it was worth. It sold to a guy from France that day. In our discussions prior to him getting the car I found I was 15-20,000 less than market. It hurt then and it hurts now but I followed through with the sale at the quoted price because a man is only as good as his word in my opinion. Call him to come get the car.

Yikes. Didn't know things were gonna get real. Puts a different shine on the not-for-sale price, subconscious motivation, etc. We have a dedicated coin for such things, and I've trained myself to listen to my responses to that coin. Much cheaper than having my dreams tea-leafed by a Jungian analyst. But that's all b4 putting a not-for-sale price on it. Sorry CB, but methinks you're bein called out.

[Challenger340]

If you really like the R/T SE option Pkg and the Car.....
Question:
Can you find another one for the $30K ?

[HPP]

I'd tend to agree with this.
