I'm goanna call the resale market for muscle cars officially "stagnant"

  My 70 Charger is like the family dog, would you sell that? 31 years and many memory's later it was bought and repaired not restored. With a trunk full of tools it fed my family for many years and now like some put to pasture race horse it mostly sits. With 2 of my 3 children wanting to inherit it it's home is secure no matter what the market does. (But that's just me.)

Market doesn't matter to me.  Really, gaining value does nothing but increase insurance cost for me.

I've had many try to buy my car. I won't sell it.


I do find this amusing.  The 68 Charger I bought I think 10 years ago for a little over 40 is back on vanguard site for 159. Very nice car but that's a lot of coin for a 383 auto.

What did you sell it for, that's a nice looking Charger.

I had to look it up.  So what happened is the gold 68 Was at a porsche dealer in Pittsburgh.  Was on hemmings for a while and not exactly the spec I would want but very very nice car.  I had a 1995 Porsche 911 that I traded for the Charger. (I had a little over 40 in the 993). That was January 2017.

A year later in January 2018 I bought my 69 Charger from a member here on this forum as a project.

Loved the 68 but have only so much money so listed it for sale on ebay. Also was tempting to swap out some parts beforehand but did not as I felt the 68 was so nice it deserved to keep it's parts.

Anyway, I didn't get much/any interest on ebay except Vanguard. They sent someone out to look at the car and I sold it to them for 58k.

Of course I knew it would appreciate but what it's worth today I don't know.

The porsche I traded for it certainly worth close to 100 today even as a high mileage driver I would guess.

In the meantime I bought a 993 c4s that's worth probably double what I paid for it.

I knew every one of the cars I was trading/selling would appreciate but without unlimited funds couldn't keep them all so did the best I could

Not bad, I wouldn't mind having a Porsche either
