Is this parts car worth $750?

[MoparYoungGun]

Searching on Ebay I found a '68 parts car about 2.5 hours away. I was wondering if you all thought it would be worth the $750 buy it now price?   Here's the link, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4564887732&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT . Thanks!

nope

Well, it's got quarter extensions and a semi-decent roof skin (if you don't need the sail panels). Counting the glass and rearend you could just about break even by parting it out - unless you had to drive a long way to get it. Interesting that it says the car is not an R/T but it has stripes. I paid $900 for one last year and the floors were more solid, it had bucket seats, a console, the original 383HP motor, original trans, lots more trim, and a bunch of the hard-to-find '68 only pieces. I doubt if that car can be saved (plus it has no title) and I don't really see a lot of useful parts. Maybe more pictures would help.

I'd be interested in buying the back bumper from you, and some dash parts, and some front and rear window trim, hehe.

So the car's in Minnesota...and you're in Ohio...hmmm...

I am only 2 hours from the car. I don't really have the time to go get it, otherwise I would think about it...

[KMPX2]

Try bidding and see what the reserve is set at. I would have to see it in person to tell.

[Lightning]

I would pay.....$500!

I was being sarcastic

i think it's worth $750 in parts. not exactly one to double your money on, but worth it if you need glass, bumpers etc.. i wish it was closer to me

   That there car is a diamond in a goats ass. Paint it orange and jump it.   

[Drache]

I'd pay $500 for it but no more

Actually, that would be the perfect car do jump at next year's Dukesfest.  If you've seen pics of the MTV jumper and the previous Dukesfest jumpers, they're in comparible condition.

I dont think its worth a penny over $499.  I paid $500 for a 318 column car last summer.  It was a workable body and came with a '69 parts car.  Granted it was through a relative, but it probably wouldnt have cost that much more on the bay.  You can see it in my thread in Paint n Body.;

The seller has the same problem that runs rampant elsewhere, nobody reads. He had to post several times that the frame was rusty & apparently they still ask if it has rust in the frame. If it's worth $750, it would be if it had a lot of parts on it that you needed for yourself. To buy it & part it, forget it, you'll lose money. My guess is that some lunatic will pay over $1500 for it wanting to "save it" by the time the auction ends, & then complain it has rust in the frame rails & they were ripped off.

Personally I think it's a $500 car, tops. It's been picked at already.

$50-100.00 car real rough

[69charger2002]

$50-100 car??? are you aware that clusters go for $150-200 now, or that back glasses in good shape are worth $100+, or even taillights.. this isn't 1984. it's not restorable, but the a pillar plastic pieces alone are worth 50-100.. i can't believe no one has clicked that yet. maybe everyone here is over 2-3 hours away

The BIN is gone and the reserve is met at the current bid of $499.95. Yeah, it's too far for me to drive at the moment or I'd probably have another one.

ok Im not 100% knowledgable about cars but I've never head of a BIN before

[MoparYoungGun]

He said an engine and trans also come with it. I was not and am not in dire need of a parts car but figured since it was fairly close I might as well think about it. Thanks for the opinions guys, there much appreciated!

The engine is a 318 with an auto tranny. I'm not sure what they cost down there but they are fairly cheap up here. I can't remember if he said the engine was running or not but you can't rely on that. If you need the part that the car has for your Charger then certainly pick it up, where else can you find all the parts you need together. If you are buying it to try and part out to sell then just stay away....

One thing is though you don't know how those tail lights are. It's fairly easy with a camera and a little polish to make those and the bumper look very nice until you see them up close.

You're just mad because he kept resetting you posts.
