Hmm, I wonder if you have to purchase it and then take on any possible body shop expenses incurred to date?

tan top · November 17, 2006, 09:05:10 AM

thats my dream charger

, C500 with a HEMI & a 4 speed . pity its not originally Y2 ,,. still no biggie .

i wonder if he would swap it for a restored 69 R/T SE

PocketThunder · November 17, 2006, 09:12:07 AM

i'm digging the roadrunner mirrors... and i see there is no A11 on the tag ? when did that start Danny? anyone?

Just 6T9 CHGR · November 17, 2006, 05:44:53 PM

I noticed that as well......Im fairly certain that all 500's as well as Daytona's have the A11 code.

Buuuuttt..... Galen decoded it so it must be legit no?

Carl1 · November 17, 2006, 05:54:59 PM

There seems to be a lot of wrong parts in the engine bay for a numbers matching car. Hopefully whoever changed them couldn't get the engine out.

tan top · November 17, 2006, 06:03:14 PM

i thought that strange also no A11 code , i was thinking may be because it is a early car with a XS fender tag

it has what looks to be a bit of an A/C hose under the hood to me $:-\$

62 Max · November 17, 2006, 06:35:57 PM

It also has a 65 or earlier A/C thermostat housing.

Carl1 · November 17, 2006, 06:42:23 PM

The VIN tag shows XS...should be very early car, but the seq. number is much later than you would expect on a car with an early VIN. Me thinks there is some history here, along with the sad storey.

69_500 · November 17, 2006, 07:00:35 PM

The car is legit. I can tell you that much. It is a 500. That is the same HEMI 500 that I mentioned in another thread as being for sale. Its a HEMI 500, even minus the A11. It is not the only 500 I have seen to be missing the A11 code. And it is also not the only 500 that I've seen to have XS on the Dash. There is actually another car later than this one with XS on the dash. Its funny but the other car is actually a December built car and it has XS on the DASH.

Have you guys ever seen this place he mentions? : http://www.wingcarfab.com/

daytonalo · November 17, 2006, 07:34:14 PM

I love that picture of the plug missing , Ive never seen an orig car with that removed

69_500 · November 17, 2006, 07:50:03 PM

Haven't visited the shop personally, but from everyone I talk to the work there is incredible. I believe that Doug might have seen some of his work.

Charger Aficionado · November 17, 2006, 07:52:08 PM

The owner of this HEMI 500 said that the metal plugs are $2,500.00 BUCKS! wow...

nascarxx29 · November 17, 2006, 08:15:48 PM

I couldnt even look this car up in old wingcar 1979 records.It must have been a reclusive 1 owner car.That just came to the surface

dkn1997 · November 17, 2006, 08:27:59 PM

70K for a project. what's it gonna take to get that thing perfect? another 100k? 50k?

hey wing guys, what is that car worth when finished? are they getting the wing car numbers for those?

Ghoste · November 17, 2006, 09:53:13 PM

The silver one that Joe Arrington customized, bid to 120,000 a month ago. He has it up on another online site now where he is trying to get 300,000 for it so certainly some 500 owners are convinced they are worth wing car prices. So far it seems the buyers have yet to be convinced.

PocketThunder · November 17, 2006, 10:26:28 PM

IMHO Any Hemi Aero Car is worth 100k+ when finished. A 440 C500 is worth the same as a R/T.

nascarxx29 · November 17, 2006, 10:36:21 PM

The silver car GHOSTE referered to was a local NJ Y4 gold car.I know another hemi charger 500 guy had it since the 80s .Car has all the right stuff.But the serial numbers dont fall in the known area.This one does though have a legit vin .But its a unknown car to old records

Yo, Paul.. You think a 440 C500 = a 440 R/T?

I guess i had this car in my mind when i was thinking about that **Inactive Link Removede** but now that you put it into perspective, i would add 50% to the R/T.

69_500 · November 18, 2006, 08:42:05 AM

I've known of this particular 500 for about 4 years now. I don't know when the clubs first knew about it. The A4 500 that Ghoste mentioned does fall into the lot of VIN's for a few other 500's. Its not a car to its loansome. It appears to be the first one in a batch, of about 25. 157xxx goes for 25 digits after that car.

Wow you are bidder #5! Good luck!

69_500 · November 19, 2006, 01:37:18 PM

Wow, your bidding on the car Rene? If you were really interested in it, I could have gotten you a deal on the car.

69_500 · November 25, 2006, 12:43:48 PM

Is anyone still bidding on this car?

528daytona · November 25, 2006, 07:20:21 PM

Hey Guys, Do you think there is any suspicion about this car not being correct.

69_500 · November 25, 2006, 07:43:02 PM

Not to me personally. Its a legit 500 if you ask me. #'s match. Yes it has XS on the dash VIN but there are more than 1 500 that came that way. As far as the XS on the fender tag, its common on all 500's before November 14th, which this car is.

So not really any questions on those factors to me.

528daytona · November 25, 2006, 07:52:35 PM

Thanks for the info, If I buy this car who could verify it all the way thru.

Ghoste · November 25, 2006, 09:07:41 PM

I'd put my faith in the guy who answered the last question, but that's a personal opinion.

69_500 · November 26, 2006, 08:17:51 AM

Well I say its a true car, but my opinion is worth about as much as a pocket of lint.
Dave Patik says its a legit car.

I hate to say it but Galen has also verified the car.

Ghoste · November 26, 2006, 08:24:27 AM

Well, if someone has already paid to have the car blessed then it's settled.

528daytona · November 26, 2006, 09:28:56 AM

Why do you think it is only worth as much as a pocket of lint. Is it because of its current condition? Or is it Becuase you want Rene to get it? All Im asking is a few good opinions about the car.

Ghoste · November 26, 2006, 09:33:44 AM

He means his opinion is only worth that. He's selling himself short but then again, my opinion is worth about a pocket of lint too so...

69_500 · November 26, 2006, 11:43:02 AM

I was meaning my opinion is worth pocket lint.

To me the car is definately worth the asking price. If the car was restored to a show condition you would be seeing an asking price of around $175K to $225K. I've seen other HEMI 500's asking as much as $275,000 and $325,000. They didn't get those figures but were asking that much.

It would be a beautiful car done. Its by no means a 1 of 1 car or anything of that nature, but its a HEMI 500. Its a 4 speed. And its B5 blue. Which I wanted a B5 blue car, but got an R4 red one instead.

528daytona · November 26, 2006, 11:57:43 AM

Thanks I appreciate the info, If I win the bid on it, I will keep you guys informed on the progress of the resto. Im sure that I will be asking alot of questions during the process.

69_500 · November 26, 2006, 12:01:05 PM

Are you the current high bidder?

I talk to the current owner of the car about once a week as it is now. I'd love to follow up to where this car ends up.

528daytona · November 26, 2006, 06:34:30 PM

No, Did not get this one. $115,100 winning bid.

Charger Aficionado · November 26, 2006, 11:39:54 PM

hemi68charger · November 27, 2006, 09:50:38 AM

Wow, it sold......... Nice chuck of change........ It's going to be one GORGEOUS car when done.....

Troy

69_500 · November 28, 2006, 07:53:53 PM

I'm going to have to contact the seller again. I'm sure he is estatic. He wasn't hoping for anything near that amount.
