What always surprises me is these people who can sink over 100 grand into a toy yet still cannot use proper grammar and punctuation. What kind of job are they doing that does not require these very basic skills yet they get paid this much? :lol:
Good luck to both sellers getting rid of those cars at their asking prices.
A very nice car if you are into Pro Touring/resto mods but at $187K would seem to meet the criteria for this thread!

Those restomod things are always a tough sell. It sucks up an enormous amount of money to do them but they are one persons vision and you have to find that one buyer with deep pockets who shares your customized tastes.

Agree on the restomod but this one seems to be quite pricey. RKMotors has two for $149k and $139k which seemed high until I see the $188k listing noted above.
At the risk of becoming a delusional seller in the future I have a 67 Charger being restomod'ed. Car was non-matching numbers with a '78 400 when I bought it. I was not planning on the restomod theme but at each fork in the road (engine (wanted horsepower that worked), transmission (switched to 6 speed), brakes (wanted to stop), suspension (RMS worked well with modern Hemi)) I went with something modern. With the exception of the tires (17" most likely) my goal is to retain the original appearance both inside and out.

Your project is fitting into the restomod. It's something you want to fill your passion.
When we start talking about market value it messes up the issues.
A buyer for a restomod car is so much harder to find that it may as well be tossed as an option. That is if one expects to recover cost.
When we build a car to our liking is it not for us?-- and seldom the next owner?
A good question for someone looking for a car is ---how about a restomod? Does someone else's project make your socks roll up and down? Do you start thinking of the changes to be made?
Money/value is always an issue but the bottom line is it cost money as apposed to recovering losses and getting ahead.
We spend to play---this is not a business! :lol:

Thanks for the note. Agree 100%. Having my car made to taste for maximum fun, not to make money. After owning for 14 years thought I should do it right. Fully realize the financials.
Ha! Perfect idea for thread. Now I know where I can go for a laugh, like that green '68. Who paints the dash green with a black interior!!!? :slap:
their vision their money, but don't tell people what their vision is when its your owns.
I saw that black one for sale and YES its a nice setup, but damn he wont get his money back.
Unless your our TURBIN resident who got a STEAL on a ORIGINAL HEMI CAR WITH ENGINE ETC....AND JUST PUT IT TOGETHER that's a different story.
I'm going out on a limb and see if the 1970 charger 500 seller is a legitimate seller. Sounds like a scam.

Selling 1968 Dodge Charger R/t 440 car . Have motor with car and tranny Car needs complete restoration but a rare option car ac cruise r/t vinal top car no back seat with car. and left rear inner window structure was cut out for a donar car before I bought it. Price is firm no tire kickers or trades. have lots of extra parts. All front aprons and frame are in great shape.
I think at $5000 it is a little more than double over a real price :hah:
About 2 years ago I saw a 1967 Dodge Charger for sale in a yard. I stopped and the home owner told me it was $12000 and belonged to a friend of his. The car had ripped seats, ripped carpet, fresh paint, but the car was covered in dings, and they just painted over the area's where the former paint was peeling, and flaking. I asked if it was a HEMI car and the home owner did not know but told me I could look under the hood. It was a non power, non ac,318 car with auto trans. I asked to make sure he was telling me the correct price. Did you say $1200, he was like "Oh NO!" The price is $12000, not a penny less. I just laughed, thanked the nice man and drove away.

Holy shit... you just spoke the most truthful words I've read in a week.
Somehow these assclowns are able to spend an ungodly amount of money having someone else build their cars yet they have terrible language skills. It really does defy logic because I see it this way:

That Green 68 looks fantastic from the outside, but thats where it ends. The interior is hideous. The engine bay looks strange with the smoothed out firewall too.
I like the 2+2 arrangement, the color of the interior along with the body color accents...
think its the sign of the times now , with internet & free or almost free advertising & or only pay when sold , put up any price you like ! only takes one guy with more money than brains , then its Job done . if every one stopped buying / bidding on over priced junk ( well not junk but some cars that should only be a few grand IMO ) prices should come down ( maybe ) :P
think this could be/ is going to be a long thread , if all the over priced cars were posted :lol: then again we all try to make a bit of dough on cars etc , but some of these prices are well ...... :faint: :o ::) :eek2: :lol:

Thats because their secretaries/assistants do all of this review and publishing at work. This is what happens when left to their own devices.
But then again, I've known some decidely blue collar business owners that pull down $100k yearly incomes.
Imo, one can ask whatever they like....threads like dis one are only because people are just this side of afraid they might just sell....
Funny thread. I see this a lot myself. Seems everyone with a rusted out 318 hulk thinks it's a 10K car. The restomod thing falls into the "hotrod" category in my opinion. People spend big money on hotrods (typically, pre-WWII cars), where there might be a few basic principles they follow, but mostly it's the builders vision. Admittedly, cool cars. But, you really have to find someone with that same vision and deep pockets. Not always easy.
I don't follow the pre-war or hotrod market so I don't know if a ZZ Top replica hotrod has the same market value as a '34 Ford restored to stock specifications. With Mopars, when you get to 100k+ pricing you can usually buy the super rare stuff. The Hemi's and Six-packs. In my humble opinion there is a bigger market for restored or closely restored (think headers, aftermarket wheels) super rare muscle cars than there is for restomod cars that in a lot of cases you really can't drive much either. Yeah, they'll corner, have a/c, a billion horsepower, but if you drive it, you get it dirty, chip the paint, etc. So, how many 100k+ restomods get street driven on a regular basis? If I were a bettin' man, I'd say the same percentage, maybe a little higher, as restored Hemi cars. So, I think that creates an even smaller pool of potential buyers. I appreciate the vision of these cars and the builders, but wouldn't recommend anyone do it unless they plan to keep the car forever. And understand if you to sell, you'll likely take a bath. Just my :Twocents:

You never can tell who's loaded with cash up in the great white north of ND these days...you definitely can't judge a book by it's cover.
With the oil boom going ape-sh*t up here, some of the most unlikely and/or undeserving types have money hanging out of their pockets The dough could come from some parent/grandparent/long-lost uncle that left a loser a bunch of mineral rights.
Or maybe you might bump into a goof that is filling one of the countless manual labor/CDL jobs who earns himself easily >$100K annually. No education, IQ or morals required...just a monthly piss test and a willing attitude to put your back into it and deal with everything a ND winter can dish out.
You see it all the time up here.....dudes who look like they have a hard time counting their nuts tooling around in nice rides and acting like pricks.
We just had a local business open up that specializes in muscle cars and they claim to have the biggest indoor car showroom in ND.....and it's filled with muscle cars.......in ND. There's disposable income galore up here.

You may have found the most delusional with the $299K listing. Agree all very nice cars, priced pretty high. The dusty one marked down to $47K was strange - why not clean it? Didn't seem to be attempting to be a "barn find" listing.

That 68 is bogus. It's been posted a couple dozen times on Craigslist from 20k up around 60k in price. Same passenger side dusty pic in all the listings

I think we're all missing the point here. These sellers and their sky high prices have no intention of selling their cars. I think it's just a ploy to either appease their pissed off wives (for having spent so much money), or for some other reason that will allow them to sleep at night. Maybe it's also for the sake of their egos; bragging to others about your car that's for sale at an astronomical price probably gets these people off... :shruggy:

The ad was gone so, no. However, it the engine and trans match and there's a fender tag anywhere near that car it's going to sell for a decent amount because it's an R/T with A/C and cruise. If nothing matches and there's no other documentation then, yeah, it's basically parts. Still, asking $5k to get $3k isn't bad. Every time I try to sell anything it seems that the "start" of negotiations is half my asking price so I'm just going to start doubling my price to speed up the process.
Troy
I think the problem is, as Charger owners and restorers we know what it would take us to build these astronomically priced cars. My car is documented in the "Almost There" thread. Believe it or not I have been offered 75k hard cash for it, as is, not completed. The guy showed up at my house with 40k cash as a deposit. I told him about my build at a car show and he wanted to see it in person and made an offer. I'll have 52k in it when completed, 2k of which is screw up learning money and 4k I overpaid for the car. I have way more in labor invested but I've been told that it's a lobor of love. These high priced cars have been put together by the so called professionals charging $120 to $200 an hour. Mine isn't for sale, or the price I want for it just hasn't been met. I wont mention my sell price because it's astronomical and as a result will remain in my garage.
Well said myk and hollywood. In many cases here is seems like the owner just kept adding and ended up overbuilding. It's easy to want "the best" of everything.
The Charger I did 20 years ago ended up with a show quality paint job out of the booth. No orange peel at all, the painter was really talented and all the variables of painting just worked out great on the car. I overbuilt a few things since the car was turning out so nice. It was actually a pain in the ass to take care of and not what I really wanted. The burden of it all was one of the reasons I sold it. But now, 20 years later, the paint probably has a few chips and scratches and would make a great driver! :rofl:
I learned it's important to have an end goal vision for the car and to not let 'project-creep' set in. I've got that now and just want a car that is driver quality all around. I don't want to stress about the first paint chip, ding, shopping carts, kids, people leaning on it, resting a hand on it, etc.

:smilielol: :smilielol: some people lol.
690k for the F&F stunt scene wreck it car is just bonkers.
1M down to 300k for a bullitt clone is down right comical.
My question is this. If a buyer has that sort of cash laying around they sure in the heck would at least have someone doing research on the authenticity of the claims of the seller. So then why is it that sellers are still holding out for that unicorn buyer? Are they hoping for that person that has more money then they know what to do with?
Maybe they're looking for a drug dealer trying to launder some cash! These prices are comical, at best !
Quote from: myk on November 11, 2014, 10:54:44 AM
I think we're all missing the point here. These sellers and their sky high prices have no intention of selling their cars. I think it's just a ploy to either appease their pissed off wives (for having spent so much money), or for some other reason that will allow them to sleep at night. Maybe it's also for the sake of their egos; bragging to others about your car that's for sale at an astronomical price probably gets these people off... :shruggy:

And the price is going up every few months it seems. When I ran across the add the car was 18k sometime around a year ago. The car is truly beat to piss as well or at least what's left of it.
With Craigslist and other free sites, delusional sellers are no longer inhibited in advertising their car by the cost of advertisement. I use the same search words and have seen some of the same cars listed locally at ridiculous prices for years. You just chuckle and move on.....

You mean the type that will offer you 350$ for a car you have advertised for 1200$?
Or 10k on a car thats up for 35 or can they make payments or...
It's too bad that F&F wreck is so overpriced. It would be cool to scoop that thing up for a few grand, get it tolerably running, and take it to some shows as-is. It's certainly more interesting and a better use of the money just left like that as opposed to restoring it. And I'm sure sooner or later it will get restored, with the car's descendants making it more famous every other year lately at the movies.
I wonder though now that its morphed into some kind of 4X4 part Charger, part Hummer, part Transformer if it will continue further down that road until its not even recognizable?
I bet by F&F 10 its a spaceship with door scallops.

QuoteComplete Resto-Mod built by LMC The recent "resto-mod" trend has quickly become the hot rod of the 21st century. Enthusiasts have come to enjoy the driveability and handling characteristics of modern cars, but long for the style and soul of the classics. The 'resto-mod' muscle car combines the best of both worlds. Known for our award winning concourse style restorations........ Legendary Motorcar has applied that same level of quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail to the fabrication and development of many cars. This eye catching, fully customized 1968 Charger R/T is an excellent example of one of such cars . A customer approached us with an idea for a modified Charger, upgraded suspension, interior and drivetrain, what came out the other end was nothing short of spectacular. Starting with a 1968 Charger R/T, a rack and pinion front end was installed with a Dodge Super Stock rear suspension setup with Budnik 18" front and 19" rear wheels over Baer sloted and cross-drilled brakes, a stroked version of the legendary 440 MOPAR engine was used with 501 cu in., making approx. 550hp and sounding even better with full Magnaflow exhaust. An automatic transmission with overdrive was installed with a bulletproof rear end and 4.10 gears. Many other custom pieces were integrated into the interior including custom dash panel/gauge cluster, push button starter, concealed accessory switches, shaved door handles with electronic release, power windows, full custom sound system and the required Vintage Air A/C system. With only a few miles on this beautiful car hand crafted here at LMC, it is fully sorted and not just another show car, but something that actually works too. All the modern amenities and built with today's technology, coupled with the timeless design and style of the 1968 Charger R/T mark a very unique opportunity to own the best of both worlds.

Taking a liberty here, but probably not far off. The buy it now price of $8,900 would seem to meet the criteria of the OP (2x or more than the value). In theory, the selling price could be below the buy it now. Listing indicates the car needs full restoration in case that is not evident from the pictures

Now that's funny :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:
eBay seller would've been better off listing it as an auction. And to start the bidding at $100.00 with no reserve to draw a ton more buyers. Probably would've capped out around $7500.00. But honestly I don't think he'll bring in the $8900.00 asking price. But who knows, sometimes it's all about the timing.
The only thing this Charger has going for it is it's a 4 speed. But there's not much to the car and parts combined.
Thanks for sharing......... :cheers:
sometimes I just want to email these sellers and tell them and show em my charger and say, 'If I cant sell my 68 for 10k what makes you think you can sell yours for 10k?
Judging from the amount of posters that pop in here and ask "Hey guys, how come I can't find a rust free 69 body for 2500$ bucks anywhere?", I think delusional buyers deserve an honorable mention in this thread too.

that would be boring though......think about that for a second. ;D
Funny, every time something's 'over priced', it's usually not owned by the one's who claim so.
for I've seen time and time again, "you won't get into a Charger for under $15k in driver condition."
yet, when one's posted within those guidelines, unanimously it's voted as over priced.
just because one can't buy said car and get into driver condition(paying somebody to do all work) doesn't mean that rough, but there 68/69/70 isn't worth the $8900.00......Contrary to popular belief, there are those out there that can take a ROUGH 68-70 and buy it at these prices, restore it to driver condition far cheaper than most overly done cars today at resto shops. Isn't "Ratty muscle" where it's at now anyway??
Scrap metal patches and bondo aren't exactly the same sort of work the overly done cars from resto shops have though. Not disagreeing completely with you Cooter but I don't really see it as a fair comparison. I get what you are saying, but...
This true Ghoste, but you gotta ask yourself after all that money spent, can't get half of what's invested out come sell time(plain Jane Chargers), who's the dumbass?
I know one guy that did his own patches.car came out no worse than a resto shop. After all, full quarters, doors, fenders, etc. I see right on here have. Mud over em. Metal is metal. As long as it's not bondo over rust, they are ALL patches and bondo. One's just out having fun while the other is 'investing' massive amounts of cash AND time.
This why many of the pics and responses in the "hack job" thread tend to run some the wrong way.
is it really so bad to see three patches in a quarter panel that's not rusted, rather than a full quarter that's got just as much filler/time spent on it?
I think it is more appealing to the eye to see a panel made out of one piece. But, to back up your comment, most of those award winners at the Roadster show are pieced together from small patch panels. I guess Foose and Trepanier creations are hacked together.
(http://wallesdator.com/Foose%20design/Impression/Page3/img_7604%201_std.jpg)
I remember one episode where Foose covered the entire body with filler. People round here thst have that dumbass "I don't want no filler in my car!!!" Where raising hell.

My car falls into this category, I have small patches on the rear roof pillars, the rockers, full lower rear quarter patch on the driver side, rear valence, two piece trunk and one end cap. Did every one of them myself with no prior metalwork experience. They are "wrong" I'm sure by a few members standards but after 3 years in a not so weathertight enclosure, there is no evidence of anything going on under the paint, which my good buddy did for free in a single stage metallic applied over the original paint sealed with epoxy.
All done in my carport over the course of a single year for under what most folks have spent on getting their cars stipped to bare metal...
Yeah and I should be clear I'm by no means badmouthing patches, I was just comparing it to a full resto.
I think Mopar people in general are delusional, not just Chargers.
My own experience... looking to buy a Charger "Yeah man, by the time you spend 10-15,000 on shipping, sort out few little bits and pieces etc etc" you need to budget $50,000 for a 'decent' condition Charger. Matching Number stuff, a lot more.
So, you spend your 45-50 to get a 'decent' charger since they are "soooooooo valuable" - even non R/T cars.
When you go to sell it "I'll offer you 25,000, il offer you 30,000"
I spent 50 on this? THat is what they are worth? "Nah man, I can get one myself for 33,000".
So when you are buying there worth gold, when you go to sell, there not worth a bag of you know what.
N im talking about Mopar people telling me to budget 50k and then Mopar people saying it aint worth more than 30 when they are buying. That makes me :RantExplode:
If it aint worth more than 30k to sell, then it sure hell aint worth more than that to buy.
I have never experienced this kind of DELUSIONS with anything else except mopar people. Literally as retarded as it can get.

Quote from: Dino on November 09, 2014, 03:33:30 PM
What always surprises me is these people who can sink over 100 grand into a toy yet still cannot use proper grammar and punctuation. What kind of job are they doing that does not require these very basic skills yet they get paid this much? :lol:
Good luck to both sellers getting rid of those cars at their asking prices.
The girl and I always laugh about this one! it's absolutely incredible. Often times it will reach the point where the message cannot even be interpreted!
If a seller and buyer agree on 30K for a car-- that is the best test for the worth of the car.
Let's say some geek gathered a lot of data that showed this car was worth 20k to 50k. That would show the deal that was made to be right in line with a best guess for value.
So now we have a new owner and they chose to spend 20K on the car they just bought. How they spent that 20K has a lot to do with increasing the value of the car. It could easly be squandered and not add much. Also the car may (by the geek data) be about topped out at 50k.
It is true that when a car is restored well and everything is presentable and a market search shows it to be at 50K any more spent on the car is money tossed.
I think most cases like this involve a fan of the charger that want's to have one to enjoy. Not to flip. Those that are into this market to make money have a hard road.
I say to those that want to have a charger to enjoy jump in and spend what you can afford. Most likely your hours and dollars will not come back but that is not why you want it in the first place. :Twocents:

Sure it is. Every single item traded between human beings has always been a case of if you are selling you want maximum dollar and if you are buying you insist the item you are purchasing is worthless. SHow me please the economic handbook which guarantees that just because you budgeted 50k that when you sell in 12 months the pool of potential purchasers are not going to feel its worth much less. You may WANT to recoup your original purchase and you may ASSUME that it will retain what it was worth to you when you bought and you can even HOPE that it might increase in the value perception of others. But to believe that these things are a given is what is illogical.
You
G-man im in that boat.....I sunk over 50k into my charger and I cant show nothing for it to be honest body work, engine work, suspension, etc..all that stuff adds up. You know how many little 90 dollar items I have bought.................. :rotz:
What people don't understand as a buyer is that they may think they can go out and get a 30k charger and drive it immediately, but in reality they are fooling themselves thinking they can drive someone's car and not worry about anything.
Im not delusional as a seller, but this I can tell ya...at 30k my car is as a 'DRIVER' is a deal vs others out there that can drive their car 2 blocks without overheating, brakes failing, etc...in the same price.
I know damn well I would never get my money I put into my car, but I know damn well I enjoy my charger (driven more) more than others out that that have a charger :icon_smile_big:

You
This is clear and to the point. :2thumbs:
The only consistent reliable pattern for making money on (your own) cars is by mass-producing them on an assembly line.
Anything else is rolling the dice. It's trying to beat the odds with every single car you buy.
You make your money when you buy it. To buy and sell for profit you must know a realistic price someone will pay for it. Only do repairs/ upgrades that yield maximum return and again, you make your money WHEN you buy the car. Knowing the real market is key and doing as much of the work yourself is usually required.

Anything else is rolling the dice. It's trying to beat the odds with every single car you buy.
Well said. :cheers:
I can weigh in on this as I was not involved in the Charger part of the hobby until I found my car.
I bought my car from a local guy (who has become a friend afterwards) that buys and sells muscle cars (specifically mopars) to help support his hobby.
I looked at the car- we negotiated down $1000 and I had a 69 Charger that was relatively rust free, ran and drove, needed some brake work and interior for I think $16k. It was a presentable car that was red with a black bumble bee stripe, a few rusty areas, ugly wheels and bad tires.
It went straight to my friends shop for the GL treatment and rust repair. All rusty metal was cut out and replaced- it was really just the lower doors and fenders; rockers, floors and quarters had already been done. After body and paint I did the interior with legendary pieces.
Is the car perfect? Absolutely not. Is it a driver? Not really. I definitely won't ever park it in a parking lot and not be concerned about a door ding or a rock chip. I would call it a solid #2 car.
Now, what's it worth? It's a GL replica so that obviously plays a part. 50k? Probably not. 30k? Hope not. I would like to think $35-40k range. No plans of ever selling but it's good to know what the value is.
I think I have mentioned before that I think this site undervalues these cars. Remember- EVERYONE likes the 68-70 Charger. I have looked for one off and on for 20 years. In my opinion (outsider looking in) $10k gets you a project- nothing more. You will have to restore everything on the car and chase down parts. $20k gets you a driver or older resto showing wear that you will want to clean up. $30k starts getting you into the nicer cars but will not get you close to a concourse car. $40k I think you get a damn nice car you can drive and be proud of. Anything north of that I think you get into the rarer / higher optioned restored cars.
This is just my opinion - I am pretty active on the GM side of collecting and Chargers just have a more passionate group of owners / enthusiasts which commands a price.
1965gp, your numbers are right on the money in my opinion.
Quote from: 1974dodgecharger on January 27, 2015, 03:19:30 AM
sometimes I just want to email these sellers and tell them and show em my charger and say, 'If I cant sell my 68 for 10k what makes you think you can sell yours for 10k?
I have emailed sellers for years, telling them that their heads aren't screwed on right. I get hate mail back. Its funny.
Thanks for the replies.
I am not talking about spending extra on the car. I am saying when I was looking to buy a charger, people here in Australia that are Mopar people kept telling me how these cars are valuable, go up in price, the cars are rare, there parts are expensive, gotta budget at least 50,000 dollars to get a rust free driver. When reality is, 50,000 is a HUGE dollar for one of these.
People talk about Mopar's like they are worth 5x more than Ford's and Chevy's and yet when you go to sell one, you probably get more $$$ on a Ford than you do a Mopar. It is just unrealistic people in general.
But then again, I have known many retarded 50+ year olds that shouldn't even be in business because they are car thieves.
At least I can say when I bought Husk41's (Allen's) QQ1 blue, white top 383ci charger, it cost me about 38k total landed, on the road, ready to drive. When I sold that car, I got 38k back.
But see, Allen was never the guy to say "This car is worth Gold". That is actually 1 rare realistic Mopar guy that sold the car for what it really was worth and never talked about it as being worth 10x more.
Where is he? Is he still around?
Never should of sold that car :(
huh good point on the FORD an CHEVY...they dump 24k in those things and guess what they will sell em for 24k!!! Seriously those cars are so cheap to build.....

What always surprises me is these people who can sink over 100 grand into a toy yet still cannot use proper grammar and punctuation. What kind of job are they doing that does not require these very basic skills yet they get paid this much? :lol:
Good luck to both sellers getting rid of those cars at their asking prices.
Mom and Dads money!
The same basic rule still applies: Something is only worth what another is willing to pay for it.

I don't think $50K is HUGE dollars to get a "rust-free" Driver ?
Let's examine that statement for a moment.
By "rust-free" Driver, do you mean all the rust has been "repaired" so the Car is now rust-free ?
or,
the Car never had any rust, and indeed is still "rust free" 45 years later ?
And "Driver" means exactly what ?
That the car is not concours perfect, has the odd paint chip, scratch, dirty undercarriage after 45 years ? as is to be expected from being driven ?
Price is inversely proportional to availability, just supply and demand.
Mine is a "rust free" Driver, and I could get $50K within 3 phonecalls(all standing offers).
Just depends on "what" that rust-free Driver is ?
Just NOT that many "rust-free" '69 R/T SE cars left..... that are NOT restored, NOT rebuilt, still original and running well, that are DRIVEN regularily.
For that matter....
try and find even a "383" car, still "rust free" and UN-restored, running well and driven regularily ?
When the "supply" left available..... cannot satisfy "demand".... so prices go UP.... plain & simple. And if that fact drags UP prices on lesser examples, that is the market !
I think a lot of the time the price that gets put on a 68 69 70 Charger is a price the seller will take and not be too sad to see it go
No one is ever glad to sell a Charger and become Charger less :rotz:
If it is a money needed thing for the seller he will keep coming down till it sells and it will sell sooner or later
For that kind of a deal you just have to be in the right place at the right time
The last Charger I sold was a 70 rot box and I did get all the dumb email replies to my ad that said I was crazy for asking what I was
In the end it did sell for what I was asking and I kept some of the parts that were initially offered in the price
You just have to look at each situation and figure out does he have to sell it , want to sell it or need to sell it to know if there is any flex in the price :2thumbs:
Chit, for $50K you can have mine. Hell, I'll even put on a tie!
How many times have you come across someone who has been "looking for a Charger" since about 1986, and says they "can't ever find one"?
How many times have you come across a seller who has been sitting on a rotting Charger in public view since about 1986, and says they've "never had any real offers"?
Most buyers & sellers who haven't made a deal after the first few months in the market are expecting too much. Its the nature of the beast.
We noticed this when we were looking for a 1989 20th anniversary Turbo Trans Am. Cars routinely bid up to 12k, yet sellers refused to let them go for less than 18k (I know we are talking smaller dollars but same principle applies) - it resulted in the same cars being listed on eBay for years. Finally we found a higher mileage clean car and a guy that needed the $$.
I disagree on the fords- there are just too many available. Too many years that looked similar and too many 6 cyl cars that have had 5.0's dropped in them. Chargers just aren't that plentiful.
Challenger340 -
Rust free driver = Allens car I bought.
Engine worked fine, gearbox worked fine, car drove fine. Car had no rust in it. Allen may have repaired some of it through it's life, it did not look like a show car, but it was a reliable car. Came with full service history, could see who owned the car, who it sold to etc... car was basically in the family until Allen had bought it. I would not call the car fully restored/rebuilt. It was a 383ci QQ1 Blue (pictures linked at bottom). It was just an honest, clean car that was looked after throughout it's life.
He sold that to me for 19k US. By the time it arrives, paid, dollar converted, few bits and pieces fixed (like leaking windscreen, reverse light switch purchased) and few odds and ends, it cost 38k.
That was a fair price on a car like that. But even that car which was very nice, I had idiots offering 30k for it and saying it wasn't worth more.
Pictures found here:
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,86613.0.html
Sigh....
WHY DID I SELL IT.
Gonna see if I can find the guy I sold it to and see if he wants to get rid of it. :lol:
That's a good question. Why the hell do people hunt for their dream car for YEARS, then sell it off(barring medical and unforseen hardships)?

Questions.......(see attached pic)
No on the overflow and no on the J bolt exposure.
Very nicely redone Charger :2thumbs: But still a CLONE !
And I just dunno if anyone would ?..... or indeed even should care about overflow bottles ? or Battery hold-downs ? when paying, or even contemplating paying anywhere even close to $99K for a Non-Numbers matching 383 4 spd Charger CLONED to look like an R/T 440-6Pk Car ?
just say'in......
Actual "Correctness"..... might be kind of a moot point on a Clone ?
What I mean is this.....
At $99K , the far bigger issue IMO, should be that it will still always be a very nicely restored 383-4 spd Charger, NON-numbers matching, CLONED into a 440-6Pk R/T Car,
wherein,
market competition for "Clones", notwithstanding however nice it is, IMO, just has not reached that price level yet ?
or has it ?
My second issue would be the "550 hp" ?
If a guy is gonna spout a number.... he better be able to provide an actual DYNO SHEET !
Just my pet peeve, but I Dyno Mopar Engines a few times a month, and I get to SEE what they actually make.... as opposed to what their Owner's say they "should" make ?
Usually a pretty BIG difference !
I like the colour but always think it looks a little od when a 70 green is on an older Charger
You are correct, clones aren't bringing anywhere near that kind of money. (can it be truly considered a "clone" if it's duplicating something that never existed in the first place?)

I wouldn't know what "could" have existed in the first place or not ? I just ain't good enough at these Cars.
But I have seen the Car,
very nicely done as are most by Terry at I.V.R., albeit, it was originally a 383 Car, so I don't know what else to call it but a
CLONE ? of a 440-6Pk R/T Car ?
One thing is for certain, that being an I.V.R. restoration.... I suspect it cost well north of $100K to re-do ?
Nonetheless, IMO....
Money "spent" is no guarantee of investment value "return" at sale, given a lack of actual
"originality or numbers" ??
Just my thoughts...
but I can't see any 383 4spd Car,
cloned to resemble an R/T 440-6 pack car, commanding the same money as an original ? no matter how nice ?
vacuum gauge plumbed into the lines from the headlight door acutation?

I guess I should've worded in my reply that I was not nit picking but instead just curious on these two topics so that I can learn more about the hobby at hand.
Ya know, it's funny, a lot of people probably think I am one of those delusional guys.
I am alwasy getting asked "how much will your car be worth when it's done?", and I always give them a number way higher than I think it will be worth....because I have no intention of ever selling it.
I may be one of the dellusional buyers Im not sure. I spend a lot of time looking but haven't bought yet, I want to find (dillusional or not) a car in the 15K-20K range that drives, now by drive I don't mean I expect to be able to make a cross country trip in it, I just want to know all parts are there for it to move under its own power. I fully expect to have to freshen up an engine/transmission and redo an interior at that price though. I will also be one of those guys who makes a patch panel before ordering a full piece if possible and will probably recieve a bargain paint job from by friend that teaches at the local vocational school. Don't even have a desire for a pristine show car, I want something I can drive and not stress too badly over. I'm probably one of those guys who annoys some people on here because I post ads and ask for opinions and ask other dumb questions, but it's because I just want to gain all the knowledge I can while Im looking.
Now as far as delusional sellers, I seem to only find cars for 35K and up that are pretty much done and are out of my price range or I find a shell that needs every panel replaced that someone wants 10K for. Now those raggedy shells seem dillusional to me, but then again they own a charger and I don't so.......

I don't think you are a delusional Buyer, so much as you are stuck looking in that "mid" condition range, that seems to be totally missing with these Cars and at least partly responsible for the price pressures on the Lower end stuff as well ?
From what you described as what you want in a Charger,
those seem to be the toughest to find ?
Case in point....
My neighbor had one... just a 318 2 BBL, bench/column, seats were falling apart but all there interior-wise, rust at the lower rear quarters, some @ the rear windows corners, and it probably could have used a trunk floor at some point but was there for now with no holes, Floor Pans were solid & Good, Had a ding in the LF Fender/Bumper but the grill was still OK, it ran and drove under it's own power just fine even with 1 burnt valve, and the brakes, steering, etc., was OK.
So basically a complete and running 150,000+ mile 318 example, albeit needed some TLC while you drove it.
Be dammed if he didn't get $28K Cnd(~$21K U.S.) for it when he sold it !! and to the 2nd guy who came and looked, with the 1st guy phoning back after it was already gone, then fully disappointed for snoozing !

Agreed! In Canada; you'd be hard pressed to find a car under 30K that doesn't need work like the one Challenger340 mentioned. The craziest thing is that people WILL pay that too. Personally suprised he was able to get that kinda cash for a 318 car, but hey; it drove... Hell, I still question my sanity after paying 16K for a shell (albeit no metal work needed), but a guy in Quebec wanted 20K for one similar.
The one I remember best is a 318 69 that sat for years outside in my home town. I had heard it was for sale but rumor had it the guy's asking price was nuts. Finally after driving past the car for years I decided to stop in and ask. He wanted $12k. The roof had cancer so bad it looked like Swiss cheese and of course the rain and snow fell right through the holes and rotted the whole interior and floor. It was a huge mess and this was in the late 80s too so really nice running and driving 2nd gens weren't even fetching $12k. Crazy.
The hobby naturally eliminates the mid-range cars over time. The better half of the cars get restored by owners gradually, and they part-out the worse ones in the process.
These cars are pushing 50 years old. They don't survive to the present unless there has been an investment of money into them. Maybe it's a steady investment of indoor storage, maybe it's a lot of maintenance work, maybe it's a big full-blown resto, but it had to be SOMETHING. That's why you will never get one cheap anymore. Nobody is going to sell a car cheap once they have spent a lot on it.
True that. Mid condition cars ESPECIALLY 2nd gens are becoming elusive at best
and are selling for pretty much top dollar.
A fully restored original everything '69 Charger R/T 440 auto with full documentation and
resto receipts are selling for $50-60k+.
This same car with a 4spd is even more expensive and with a hemi..........over the top.

I dunno about this market ?
What goes UP... usually must come DOWN ?
But I keep coming back to the current economy, sort of uncharted territory ?.... where it seems where "cash" and those that have it, are still chasing asset value of any kind in a market devoid of any REAL interest rate return ?
IMO,
It is quite possible prices could get even stooopider ? before they level off or turnaround ?
Certainly no riskier than the the DOW or S & P for crissakes ?

I have seen this Car up close and personal, talked with the owner, and I kind of knew about it's existence for many decades, but the family would not sell.
It is a
one Owner Car, bought brand new by the father then passed down to the daughter in the family.
Just my opinion,
but THIS Car.... is absolutely perfect if you see it up close ? These pictures just don't do it any justice !
And even the "resto" ???.... which it was still in just beautiful condition BEFORE.... was more like just an extended "detailing" endeavor, because the car was in such great shape.
Personally, if I was in the market....... I WOULD PAY $75K
($100K Canadian) for this one, waaaay before any the prices I've seen for others in this thread.
Funny, the only ones complaining about delusions in pricing are the ones that own these cars.....
The rest of the free world understands they cost alot.
Yep.
People like us complain that these cars are overpriced . . . except we can't rebuild another one ourselves for even the same as the going price, never mind any less than that.
I don't know where it's written in stone that a 50yo popular classic car should be available for half the price of its parts.
Its always been that way and in another 50 years people will still be complaining.

its always been that way in fact if you put aftermarket parts on a car the price gets deducted for MSRP on the part on the car. For example I was selling a vehicle with a full hotchkis setup on it the buyer then saids, 'well that's a full hotchkis kit I see and those retail for 3500 dollars im gonna have to deduct the asking price' and then he went on about having a holley carb vs stock carb and alum. radiator vs black and this SOB tried to get the car for FREE :icon_smile_big:

That's some interesting logic on the buyer's part.
The Hotchkiss kit costs $3500. So he deducts that price from the car's worth, instead of deducting the (much cheaper) price of the removed stock suspension? Does he think you have to buy a second Hotchkiss setup to get the stock one back, or something?
Believe it or not, a lot of people don't want to buy the aftermarket stuff people add to their cars in the name of improving it so they deduct knowing they will need to go through the expense of returning it to stock. That has also been true in the collector car hobby for a very long time.
I get that. But most of the people in this hobby don't really try to deal in labor prices like that.
And if the Hotchkiss stuff was priced at $10k, that would not make it cost $10k to put back to stock. The price of the Hotchkiss stuff is not a relevant figure.
It's like offering your Hemi clone car for sale and having a buyer say, "Well I want the original 318 drivetrain back in it, so please subtract $25k from the car's price." Nice try, man.
True enough.
Tryin to sell the Dart right now. You wouldn't believe the idiots trying to trade boats/bikes/etc. Stuff.

Same ol same ol. People just wanna see sellers struggle for every cent like it makes em feel better about being the tool they are or something.
I hear you cooter. 8 years ago I sold my Power Stroke F-250 ex-cab with a utility bed. The idiot trying to buy it complained about having to change it back to a regular bed truck and wanted me to lower my price $1500-2000. ::)
I told him to go buy a regular diesel truck. Kinda strange that he brings it up like it was a surprise having the utility bed when he came to look at it. The ad was very clear with pictures. Frickin tire kickers.

Hey Cooter,
Sounds like a cool car! How about this... I'll pay you half of your asking price (no, no.. hear me out), half of your asking price (25% up front in the form of a check, the other 25% within the first three years - you CAN TRUST ME), give you a set of last seasons Blackhawks tickets, a coupon to Jewel Osco (only good through March 31st), some old two-stroke pre-mix oil, a few motocross riding lessons, an autographed Kiss poster (a little bit of water damage in the 80's around the corners), and my dad's August of 1995 Playboy with Pamela Anderson on the cover. I wouldn't have a clue how you could even consider passing an offer like this up...
I'll consider an even trade plus cash on YOUR end for my '86 blazer if the car is in as good of shape as you said it is... :icon_smile_wink:

Nice car, not so nice price
:popcrn:
I just read the other thread on that GL replica...
80k, huh... :lol:
Lots of dreamers out there, absolutely delusional. But as we get older, we all become a little delusional. Unlike a lot of people who document their expenses, I try not to keep track or I'd get depressed. I for one am glad to see the 69 become a hot commodity more so than the 68 or 70 even, but that's just me, have no issues with any year. 15 years ago I'd refuse any offer made on the charger regardless of price, today, after I've got it all back together and ready to drive...hate to say it but if someone walked up and offered 40 or higher for it, I'd take it and grieve, but that's mostly because of health issues that make me not want to get under cars much anymore. (working over them is ok though). But if I had to advertise it, I'd pad the price some probably.
Good thread. Makes me wonder what Chargers are really worth. I think people get caught up mixing up 'asking' prices vs. 'actual paid' prices for not only Chargers but any collectible car. You always see the astronomical buy it now prices on eBay, high asking prices on Moparts, even on here... but is people paying that for it. I understand cars with a high pedigree, but what about a run of the mill XS car with a 440, what are people actually paying?? To me right now the best deal for a second gen on the net is Leon's (HemiHampton) car... a burnt orange survivor 70 with 24k actual miles, rust free for $29k..... and no biters.... wtf? In my mind that's a hell of a deal, and if I had a spare 30k laying around I would be on my way to Michigan tomorrow, but what does that say about the buyers market?
When ever there is a wanted ad for a 2nd gen, everyone is quick to chime in "you cant find a decent project for under 10-12K". I have never payed that much for a project. My 69 (now I realize this was 15 years ago) I paid 5500 for 2 69 rts (parted one), bought a rock solid 72 318 car (running) for 700 in 2007, bought a small block/4 speed 73 rallye for 2500 in 2009, and bought a pretty complete good project XP 68 Charger (need floors, trunk and a lower right qtr, but other than that pretty solid) for 4k in 2013. Those are real numbers, and that's what I want to see... real numbers. I think we all (myself included) get caught up using asking prices as a price guide.
Its the same way with parts too... you see crazy asking prices, but that doesn't mean that's what people are paying. I can use a great example for this, I had a NOS 68 tailpanel (that came with the 4k car I bought) and I decided to sell it. I could only find one NOS 68 tail panel online at the time, and the seller was asking 1350. I thought, wow my tailpanel is worth 1350..... no it wasn't. I put it online for $850 OBO. I had several offers for it, the best was $500 so I took it. The 1350 one is still on Moparts now (although I think the price has dropped to 950, still no takers).
Like to hear others thoughts on this.
Jason
Think they are really worth 35-50k, if in #2 condition. Parts prices are crazy, but when I reach a certain stage in the build process and need a part, I'll usually pay more than I ought to in order to get it and move on, can't always wait till you can find one that is good enough to use. As much as I hate to do it, I sometimes resort to AMD or repops. I waited too long to start on mine, should have done it 25 years ago. Have to admit I won't pay 1200 for a part though, if repops are less than half that price I'll go that route, and just set my original part aside for rechroming or fixing later. Still have everything that I stored the car with except seatbelts...can't remember what I did with those. One of these days I'm gonna have to pull out all the old parts and put them on the block or ebay em. Have to clean out the sheds one day before I'm too old to. My dad is cleaning out all his toy sheds now, figures he only has another 7 to 8 years to live and wants to clear it instead of making my mom do it.
I guess it depends on who you talk to you right? If I ask 15k for my 68 charger I get thousands of calls on it and waiting to get in line for it. 20k I might get 500 calls for it, at 25k im getting 100 calls, at 30k I get 10 calls and then counter offering for it, at 35k I get 2 calls randomly asking if I live with my parents :icon_smile_big:

Price is also a function of desirability. Paint color and options are likely to play a significant role here. If somebody has a "dream" car ideal, just how far they are willing to come off of that mental picture is hard to determine, but.... a green/green automatic car is likely to have slightly less demand than a red/black 4-gear car. The actual condition of the car is likely secondary to the "image" of the car for the less well-informed. Anybody who has had to piece a car together and then struggle to make it "proper" would look at HemiHampton's car as the do-all, end-all. But....it's unlikely that the person who is filling some type of bucket-list is going to appreciate what a low-miles, original car represents.

That's not a Charger, it looks like some kinda Chrysler sedan or something.
Real Chargers have only 2 doors. IMO
Look closer. :icon_smile_wink:
I like larger wheels, but the ones on that white 2013 look terrible.
It looks like they put a wide body kit on it to accommodate those wheels. Good luck on selling that, I am sure they will be sitting on it for a while just like west coast customs did with their modern two door charger painted in similar fashion of a general lee.

Wow! A quarter of a million dollars, FIRM!!, and it has an aftermarket rad cap, aftermarket diy battery cables, a GM master cylinder and brake booster (which leads me to think its had a disc brake conversion) with a NAPA battery and thats just one photo. This car should be near perfect at half that amount. Its at a dealer though and the salesman appears to have the perfect surname. (Krook)

You should be able to find a nice driver for that but I wouldn't bet on finding something extravagant either. Minimal rust on 2nd gen Chargers started when they were still in the showroom. All Chargers will need rust repair so don't pay a premium for a car that seems rust free. Surprises later usually ruin the day for you. Bet on replacing/repairing everthing behind the rear wheels. If it's minimal you can just stop the rust from progressing and enjoy the car. That's what I'm doing.
Yup, fighting rust on this car, or anything of this generation comes with the duties of ownership...
thanks for the quick replies hoping to have a project some time next year

Yep that's the only way he is going to be able to sell it is by finishing it or take a considerably lower asking price.

Those restomod things are always a tough sell. It sucks up an enormous amount of money to do them but they are one persons vision and you have to find that one buyer with deep pockets who shares your customized tastes.
I bet the majority of them get sold overseas to Rich Europeans
I wouldn't bet on it. Most European countries have ridiculously limited laws about modifications allowed on their roadways and if you can't prove OEM installation, they won't let you drive it.
I don't get how it still needs 15000$ to finish?
geezuz.... it never ceases to amaze me the prices people ask for some of this stuff ?
I mean complete junk in need of total restoration, missing parts, and still asking, IMO, some pretty big bucks ?
I guess I will just never understand someone paying even just $7-8K for a basket case,(because that's all they can afford to get into one), just for the "privilege" of spending another $30-40-$50K over time..... and a full time job even doing the work themselves.... to end up with a Car, that when done... might be worth a fraction of what they have into it ?
And it still happens all the time !
Like Einstein said..... "the definition of insanity is conducting the same experiment over and over again expecting a different result"
Maybe if more and more people ask these insane prices, they will become the new, real price. I like that part.

Those two aren't so bad considering the others we've seen on here. I wish the 69 RT was about 5-6K cheaper, and the 70, I'd see easily selling for 12-15 without the rims.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dodge-Charger-R-T-/261907476402?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3cfae6efb2&item=261907476402
Its a RT 4 sp dana trackpk but 38k?
What is this car really worth? Maybe 30k?
:scratchchin: I'm thinking that price isn't that far off. :Twocents:
The "numbers" thing is funny..... without the original Engine nor Transmission, it being a "Trac-Pak" Dana Car could be a moot point in collectible for many.
But it sure looks to be in good and restorable condition with original metal and trunk floor.
IMO,
he ain't that far off and will probably get very close to asking ? $34K ? $35K ?
It does still have all the R/T Heavier Suspension, sway bars, H.D. Torsion bars, for that "feel" on the road.

That numbers thing is an odd one indeed. What if this car was restored to like (or better than) new as it is without the original engine. What do we think the difference in selling value would be VS having all numbers in place?
The term "restorable condition" is interesting also because it is used a lot. The same has been said of rust piles. :lol:
When I see a car like this I can't help thinking about all that's involved in a complete resto. That same effort will give a very shabby, non running, "project car" the same end result. :shruggy:
My point is that a nice presentable/driving car like this may have the same value as a degraded barn find (for example) to someone that wants to restore one to the nines.
There are many ways at looking at a car and I see this one as a good driver with issues to play with as the car is enjoyed as it is.
Also IMO the asking price will seem high to one that only sees it as coming all apart for resto. That price---35K?--- looks very fair to me. :Twocents:
The blue 69 above is Bid at 32k and two days left of bidding I bet it pulls 35k.
At the local shop that does some of my work they got a clean 68 in today. One owner- husband passed and wife is getting it running to sell. Not an RT or anything special but is B5 with a 440 in it. Nice original car- has had repaint but will need paint, seat covers, brakes, etc. No obvious rust which is a huge plus. I don't need another car but it was clean so I asked what she wanted....55-60k!
Did you ask her what she was basing that number on?
people...we need to contact this guy and f*** with him, he is serious about wanting $4200 for a 68 charger grill thats cracked and needing restored, not even doors, actuators or anything just the grill lol, wow. turn it into a bidding war....i already said ill give him $4400 if he holds it for me till monday
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/5045239005.html
:smilielol: I just sent him a text saying I'll give him $5,000 if he can wait til Tuesday. I also said those 68 grills are worth gold. :smilielol: :smilielol:
He's nuts :hah:
did he respond? its on ebay too hahaha, now a normal person would check to see what others like it are going for...but nope not this smart guy
No response.

what a joke...no, dash, vin, doors, decklid, hood, grill, bumpers, drivetrain, interior or anything, just a bare essentials roller and wants 10,000
He doesn't have the tools or experience to build the car but says everyone knows they can get their money out of it if they can build it. :smilielol:
If he doesn't know what it takes then how the hell can he know you can get your money out of it. :rofl:

"up for sale craigslist is my 1969 charger and yes it is a complete project and yes I think I am crazy for asking as much as I'm asking for it but it's my car, and in all reality I don't really want to sell it unless somebody offers me what I'm asking for it so here goes"
:shruggy:
Depending on how you look at it, good or bad it's a seller's market for the second generation Chargers. First and third generations are still plentiful and it's a buyer's market but second gens are going for a lot of money because people are paying it.
Case in point, I was looking at how much our QQ1 white interior '68 RT was worth and rather than seeing what people were asking, I looked at what things were actually selling for. A similar car not drivable and needing restoration went for $28,000 so I priced our nice painted drivable car a bit higher.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-CHARGER-R-T-440-4BBL-AUTOMATIC-TRUE-SURVIVOR-ALL-ORIGINAL-MUST-SEE-/371302034902?forcerrptr=true&hash=item5673536dd6&item=371302034902&nma=true&si=wY0BqRV5dOxVuARPf7SM%252FMrCfJQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
I wouldn't pay $28,000 for that car but it doesn't mean someone else won't.
Second case, I saw a white '68 318 Charger, green interior here for sale locally running and driving. Guy wanted $12,000 for it. I wouldn't pay that much for that car but a similar car (color, engine) also just sold for $24,000.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-Dodge-Charger-Charger-/141643988442?forcerrptr=true&hash=item20faa3bdda&item=141643988442&nma=true&si=H2c%252FkecD0hdBcS0BcwTiSGBLZvw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Even with a buyer's market, I still don't condone the guys who let their cars sit outside rusting away and not doing anything to them until they get their $100k (or whatever overprice they're asking that people aren't willing to pay). If you are really interested in the car hobby and want to sell your car, sell it at what someone will pay for it and let it go to someone who will take care of it.
Now if you want to get a Charger cheaply, buy a 1st gen. They're more rare, you still get head-turning good looks, cooler dash gauges, tach is standard, 3-spoke woodgrain steering wheel usually standard, rarely the column shift (console almost always standard), rear bucket seats, carpet in the trunk, chrome metal grille (not silver painted plastic) and you still get the big block power of the later years.
Time to put up my 68 for sale as a delusional seller......please mock me when u can. :icon_smile_big:

I was kinda thinking the same thing. It looks pretty good. :scratchchin:
At $55k I think it would be worth it if:
- Is it all of the original OEM rust free sheet metal like the seller claims?
- Had the original numbers match drive train
- All the original (or original replacements) components were present. Radio, steering wheel, shifter, A/C underhood components, air cleaner
He never mentioned if the OEM trans. was 727 Auto or a 4 Speed.
If Auto then his "Has the extremely rare factory air conditioning option" comment is way off.
Also quote "Was built to take the wife and kids out for ice cream and cruising the highways."
What if I'm single, don't have any kids and I don't like ice cream :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:

For 55k it's on the high side let's be honest here....body is awesome shape we know that but at 55k the interior needs work bad among other places....our turbin resident was selling his 68 and very fair price I would buy his before this and it was a 318, but all original and all worked.

That's
$64K U.S. Dollars, on the $79K Canadian asking.
Just say'in ....
Yeah they're basically insane on that one. It s a very nice car but they will have it a long time. It was formerly a project car of Bob Probert and after he passed away some Red Wings fan bought it and spent way too much finishing the car. I believe he traded it in at that dealership so now they are likely in too deep as well. All of them figuring the Probert ownership history makes the car worth what was put into it I guess.
Sorry not a Charger but I thought I would share :icon_smile_big:

Indeed, just from the pictures alone I'd still say it was un-finished. It's missing it's radio, the hood and trunk don't line up, scratches on the dash facia, ect.

I agree. No price gouging.
If you think $55K is too much for the 68 R/T South Dakota Charger, there was a black 68 318 Charger/ R/T clone at the Mopars in the park car corral that sold for $38K.

Rather liberal use of the term survivor considering rust, failed repaint, and original engine gone. It would be a fair deal at 1/2 price, although you might get a dreamer on eBay to go to 20 if a lot of exc!amation points!!!!!! and CAPS!!!! WERE USED IN THE AD!!!!!! :coolgleamA:

The seller can't even cover the primer spots up for 25k + with butchered up shifter and project like interior.
I'm sure they have mud included for your 25k.
I'm sure glad I don't live in the west if that is close to market price.

That LA car is $10k over priced easily. If it was finished, he could get his asking price.
That L.A. car is a $14,000-$16,000 car tops IMO.

Have you posted it in this Forum? No clue how you can't get at least 16K for that car... :shruggy:

Where have you posted for sale ads for your '68 ?
I've never seen an ad for it. :shruggy:

Lol, he's not selling. Far from it...

If he ever gets tired of his hood I'll take it though... :lol:

Everyone flag that add. He's lying. That car needs lots and is no where near a nice 69 charger let alone one of the nicest you'll find as he claims. :slap:
What a tool. Motor leaks, electrical issues, rust holes, lights don't work right and all for only $60,000. :smilielol: :slap:

Yep, I love plum crazy alot too but too a realistic point. This charger is completely beat - its sinking back into the ground.
I think fc7 is just one of those colors that people go nuts over.
But with this car I get the feeling that it would be at like 8k or less if it was not purple.
Im interested to see the final price.

Whooooah Nellie. You know it's "custom" when they spell the word "custom" with a "K."
@ super77se WOW those are some prize finds good job :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
My input:
The 68 for $17,000 Yea nice two crappy pics and one being in the dark. Hey seller don't give out too much info there. Are you in need of attention so folks will call and ask you what the hell do you got.
The 66 for $10,000 Numbers matching what??? 361, 383, 440 WTF And even to the less educated buyers they could be wondering 318? 426? Okay okay I went back and did notice the fender badge after I held a magnifying glass up to me P/C screen. I think it's a 383. I shouldn't have to work that hard when reading an CL ad to determine what size motor is in your car.
The 74 for $20,000 Yea the new Mopar 200 big block being introduced in this classic LMFAO :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:
And finally the 74 for $15,000 Nice numbers and options I agree but there's no sheetmetal worth a crap on that heap. Probably the least delusional of these four.

think that price is a bit high, even with all the parts, would expect to pay that if everything was together and working correctly. But some folks think a special intake is worth big bucks, even if you could buy it retail and put it on yourself back in the day.

I believe that is the same car that was listed for 20k a few weeks ago. In that CL ad he said the car was an extra for the DoH because Warner Brothers was on the title. At least that is what he heard from the guy he bought it from since you guessed it...he doesn't have the title. ::)
And I guess Graveyard Cars gets preferential treatment since they can get the car for 12k, but for us regular folk, we gotta pay 15k. :rotz:
Mike
says it has a transverse stripe, but also has the stripe delete emblems mounted over the stripe. It isn't even a good parts car, there is hardly a part in the photos without a scrape, dent or something obvious missing...like the rear quarter glass. Its amazing what some people think is a valuable car. I wouldn't pay 1/3 his price, but I'm not calling him either so no biggie.
In all fairness, my RT has stripe and the emblem, even worse (form a purist point of view) the stripe is painted on and its yellow. :icon_smile_big:
I'm just saying that things get changed. :2thumbs:

I like the part of the ad that says only $10,000 - $12,000 to complete!
I think the problem we're facing with the prices skyrocketing is caused mostly by the media coverage of Barrett Jackson like auctions and all these car restoration reality shows where the owners can buy project cars with reckless abandon. It sets and unfair precedent price because they have the money to blow
I fully agree. Any of us guys that have built a car can take one look at that and know for a fact that $10-$12K isn't going to finish that car. Unless it's a Joe dirt special. :lol:
People usually overestimate the value of their possesions, no matter what it is. Add that to the auction madness, the low numbers of available Chargers to be found compared to other brand muscle and there you go, uber inflated prices.
The 70 500 owner is dreaming, the Count car owner needs to be commited.
When will people realize that the vast majority of Chargers are not worth the restoration cost! You just can't get your money out of them.
It was always like that, its just that now people seem to think they should profit handsomely from their "investment" whereas 30 years ago we just fixed them up because we loved the cars and knew we would lose money at sale time.
True, and therein lies the problem; these cars are lousy investments! My low risk stock funds make more than my car would ever bring, which is why I drive it, fix and improve it, and rinse and repeat!
It's a car and as long as you use it as such, life is good. :coolgleamA:
I think I fit well into the delusional charger seller category. :icon_smile_wink:
A couple of years ago I decided to sell my C500 and joined this site to get an idea about how the market was.
Since that time I've come down in price to the a point where I would rather keep it than sell. My attempts to advertise have been minimal and the response I've had tell me my price is still high. :shruggy:
I no longer consider myself delusional about my cars value on the market because of all the great information I've gathered since joining this site. But my price remains where it is and that's without delusion. It reflects my degree of motivation to sell.
So the point of my post on this is that (as many have said before) a persons asking price does not necessarily mean they have a good grip of what the market will bare. For some (like me in the beginning) it is a place to learn about the market.
It is true however that some prices are so off the chart that they beg for the blasting they get. :smilielol:

i dont think they are lousy investment, ive been able to buy and sell a few to put the $ earned into my own cars. i have bought and sold a charger in the same day and made 8k profit. yes i know thats a rarity but it still happened
That's indeed a rarity, but good job nonetheless! :2thumbs:
If you look at the big picture though, very few ever got a lot of money out of keeping one of these cars, high pedigree cars not withstanding of course. A Hemi Daytona will always bring a few bucks. ;)
Even if you do sell a car for profit when compared to the purchase price, you still have to count in storage, time spent working on the car, straightnup repair or resto cost, and inflation. Buying a car in '02 for $5K and selling it in '12 for $8K does not equate to profit.
My point was simply that there's way better options to invest in and if it has to be a car then you have to start spending a whole lot more than muscle car money.
I've made rwice the insured value of my car since buying it in '11 by investing in a no risk stock fund. I can't work on a car for that.
It's a fun job though, I enjoyed buying cars, patching them up, and throwing them back on the market. I made decent money doing this as well, but it wasn't that spectacular either. :lol:

That's indeed a rarity, but good job nonetheless! :2thumbs:
If you look at the big picture though, very few ever got a lot of money out of keeping one of these cars, high pedigree cars not withstanding of course. A Hemi Daytona will always bring a few bucks. ;)
Even if you do sell a car for profit when compared to the purchase price, you still have to count in storage, time spent working on the car, straightnup repair or resto cost, and inflation. Buying a car in '02 for $5K and selling it in '12 for $8K does not equate to profit.
My point was simply that there's way better options to invest in and if it has to be a car then you have to start spending a whole lot more than muscle car money.

you are right about that, but ive found that buying base model cars and restomoding them with modern day engines, trans. brakes, suspension and wheels brings good profit. most of the time more $ than original r/t's
That's good to know, especially since mine is going in that direction. :icon_smile_big:
I have very little knowledge on restomod value. I see the asking prices but I never know what they sell for.

Really? Ask some of the others who made that same assumption and bought their dream investment on wheels back in 2007.
As with most investments the timing and the time frame involved is everything. Depends on what car was bought and when. A large plunge into the stock market in 2007 over a short time frame would have been a very bad idea same as buying your dream car investment at that time. However if you got into cars back in the day when people told you that you were nuts for buying that junk you have done real well. We must remember why we have these cars sometimes. We have them and collect them because we love them not necessarily as investments. The appreciation of these cars is a secondary bonus and for the most part the large jumps in value were over many years ago. :Twocents:

Don't worry, you can always look down on the '74's.
Having a hobby where the main object in the hobby appreciates in value is always a good thing, makes us appreciate them more as they get older. I knew the daytonas would be worth having when I got my charger, but never saw one for sale back then, and by the time I had money they were very difficult to find, and/or expensive. I had my first car and that is all that matters to me. Knowing when i'm done with old cars that I can sell it to another enthusiast who'll do the same and not trash it or paint it orange makes a difference to me.

That's not a bad looking car. Not a bad piece to start with. Says it comes with lots of parts.If the grill is decent there is about $1,000.00 right there. All the glass. Replacement quarters. Those would be about $700 per so not a bad price .
I just bought a running, driving 1968 Charger... factory NON matching 383, 4spd , console , PS, rally dash car. Dark blue, with blue and white interior for $12,500 its rough looking and needs body panels. I thought that was all the money for it... I didnt want to pay that much but I wanted the car so... It does have new AMD floor pans already installed and they are done nice. Also the suspension/ brakes were also all redone. But its needs body and interior resto. which we all know thats were all they money comes into place. I sold the 383 back to the (owner a buddy of mine) for a roadrunner project he has, and installed my own 383. It also came with a fresh 833 from Passon Performance. Is that to much??? dont know.... but Im stuck with it now since I just bought $3800 worth of body panels for it. Ill try and get a pic up of it soon....

Guys, prices that are concidered delusional in the US might be very moderate in Europe.
Not that I'm saying that 120 large for a Challenger is ok, but 25K for a small block 2nd gen looks moderate. Imagine that it costs shipping, VAT and import fees to get it here. A 20 grand car will cost me easily up to 30 grand by the time its at my doorstep.
That greatly affects resale value also since you dont find Mopars at every corner of the street over here
25k for a 2nd gen gets sold in a week but thats a 1st gen.
project 2nd gen in finland is 17-25k euros, driver 25-35k euros.
Here's two delusional sellers right here.....

Delusional [dih-loo-zhuh-nl]
As an "adjective" to "Charger Sellers"
having false or unrealistic beliefs or opinions
Whether we think it's nutz or not..... it would seem there are still many buyer's willing to pay $25K for a real R/T that is numbers matching, no matter a resto required.
Does that make us delusional commentators for not noticing they keep selling ? Like Einstein said... "the definition of insanity is conducting the same experiment over and over expecting a different result"
or,
is the general population stricken with brain damage for continuing to buy them ?
case in point:
Go back to page #1 of this thread,(now almost a year ago) and look at the Charger listed by the FIRST "delusional" seller for $28K
IMO,
it don't look so nuts now ?

I must be out of touch thinking that a resto project which needs 50 grand put into is should sell for over 25 when a fully restored Charger R/T is worth around 50-60 large.
I was wrong. The madness hasn't died down and madness still prevails...

Did not think this one looked too bad compared to what else is out there
Reading through this thread I am remembering conversations from the eighties about cars from the east being something we (from the western persuasion) would laugh at as a prospect for revival.
To find a "keeper" from the west was a struggle with the transport cost then and I was amazed at what was being saved in the east. It seems little has changed but the rust bunny is still hungry. :lol:
The cars left are still emerging as they decompose and the value of our money is still going down.
Those that are delusional about their decomposing car's value are just part time caretakers that add to the hobby in their own way.----It's for sale now ---or later at a lower price. :Twocents:

Not a delusional seller because if there was a reserve it's already been met which leads me to believe that there are some delusional buyers out there. No way this car is worth over 30K. Sure it looks pretty nice but when you get to the pics of the undercarriage it's a little rusty. The seller even says, you can drive it now and restore it later. Final price will be under 35K and then the "buyer" will not pay so it will be back up. That's my guess....
If my driver R/T clone can get consistent offers of $30K then surely the real deal is worth it. It looks like a nice unmolested car. They were rusty while sitting o the showroom floor so this really doesn't look all that bad. $30K is not what it used to be.

Can't be a tire kicker if the car can't drive.....
Are you ever tempted to go over to some of these guys shops and walk around the car just kicking the tires and then tell "okay thanks, I just wanted to kick your tires" and then get in your car and leave?
i just wonder where guys who end up on this thread get their reasoning for their prices...i dont look at my hoopties in the back yard and see light rays of gold glistening from their rusty bodies :shruggy:
Some of it is pure delusion from within themselves, some of it is televised hype (be it auction smoke and mirror shows or automotive flipper "reality" shows) and some of it is appraisals. I talk to people every day with grossly inflated ideas of what their car is worth and many many times they base it on an appraisal that someone wrote them for insurance purposes.

Did you see all the pictures? It needs atleast 5 grand in sheet metal alone.
didnt say it was a good deal, just not as far fetched as most of the ones we see on here :shruggy: . it does come with a donor car that could fix some of the issues, donor car appears to be pretty rust free. looks like a 70 steering wheel or column aswell.

Are you ever tempted to go over to some of these guys shops and walk around the car just kicking the tires and then tell "okay thanks, I just wanted to kick your tires" and then get in your car and leave?
Hahahaha no what a time wasting for me if I was buying......to me tire kickers want to drive it even though they have no money......
This one almost looks more interesting than the other rusty relics in this price range

that r/t is priced right, my buddy just sold his in similar condition for 23k on ebay
Here's another that just popped up on fleabay....
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dodge-Charger-2-DOOR-HARDTOP-/221890913504?forcerrptr=true&hash=item33a9baa4e0&item=221890913504
318 with 3spd column shift?! OH MY GOODDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!! One of 3?!
Who's going to scrape up enough dough in time to snatch up that gem!
I like how he says
However, I can tell you that probably less than 100 Chargers were built that way.
But started out saying there was only 3 cars like this
I've heard a lot of things that green is called on these cars but "metallic racing green" is not one of them. :scratchchin:
Is that a color that was originally offered?
I used to have one of those (1968 Dodge Charger that was 318, three on the tree, in yellow exterior, black vinyl top, gold interior per fender tag). It was very rough and rusty, missing the transmission, hood, and most of the interior after sitting since 1974. I did register it in the Dodge Charger Registry and Wayne commented that the engine/transmission combo was very rare that year, with only a handful known at that time (2007). I traded it away to another Mopar restorer, as I was too busy to work on it for what it needed done. During the time I did own it, I knew of two others like it tucked away in South Dakota, so they are out there. (ie. more than just three exist...)
The seller is right about the possible production being around 100 or so, with maybe 25 left in the wild....
http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/cto/5228957968.html
I love when their asking price is based upon how much money they have IN the car. Rarely do you get money back out of a car you put in ESPECIALLY for custom jobs. Full OEM restorations you can possibly justify but as others have said when you customize a car you make it how YOU like it, not how a potential buyer likes it.

Hey CL seller, can you at least finish putting that Charger back together before slapping a 60k price tag on it. Also non matching 440 but period correct. That aftermarket stereo in the center A/C pad looks hideous IMO. No wheel well trim. No arm rest pads. Did he shave the rear side marker lights? And the front marker holes are there but no marker lights. Also makes you wonder if it's a true R/T.
" the front marker holes are there but no marker lights. Also makes you wonder if it's a true R/T." That has nothing to do with a R/T. :Twocents: :slap:
I did mention that there were front marker light holes.
And I know that has nothing to do with being an R/T or not, I'm just saying that the way the seller is representing this Charger if he has any credibility of being a stand up guy. Is he a scammer?

Sort of looks like the shots of the body painted have the rear side marker holes. Maybe they just ran the stripe over and didn't poke the hole.
And you guys obviously don't understand his heavily discounted price, it would be $100k with the side marker lights installed.

Yeah this is about the craziest ad I've seen. Mahbe it's because I place little to no value on R/T or matching numbers but even or those that must have those things, this is insane. I wouldn't pay what it costs to tow it home. It will never be worth the cost of the restoration.

I think a running, driving, "all there" #'s matching R/T that still needs a lot work would be worth about $17K.
Heaven help us... :o
Like many other things, these stupid prices get validated when some big money guy jumps in and pays the asking price. Blame the media or the big auction houses all that you want....
Man A sets an unrealistic price.
Man B pays the price because he has one of the following: LOTS of money, ZERO spare time to shop for a better deal OR has a nostalgic impulse.
The public hears of the selling price, then everyone that has one seems to think that theirs can garner a huge sum as well.
In March 2000 I bought my 1970 Charger 500 for $1700 and drove it 122 miles per day 5 days a week for a month when my work truck spun 3 rod bearings.

Nice...
rarely will you even find a base model 2nd gen charger running and driving for 17k let alone an r/t. if you dont think r/t or numbers matching adds value than ur absolutely wrong...only once in a cars life can it keep the original drivetrain it was born with and it being an r/t makes it 4 times more rare. its not just mopars that are bringing good money now, who in their right mind would pay 25k for a coupe 65-66 mustang, but my buddies classic car dealership cant keep them on the floor, their in and sold right after the other. so you tell me if you think that a charger doesnt hold more value than a mustang....i though so. rarely does he get a charger but i dont think the fuel even stops sloshing around in the gas tank when parked on show room before its sold. yes i see many chargers that are totally off the deep end on what they think their car is worth and those are the guys we laugh at...
Never said I didn't think pedigree adds value. But for 17K I demand something I can drive home. If that's not realistic then the guy that is willing to drag a carcass to their home that's going to need $100K in work and 7 years in a body shop and 25 pages on DC.com begging for help and support is welcome to do so...
ill give you 17k for ur running driving charger right now
If that things worth $17k that makes mine worth about $170,000k :shruggy:
i think that 69 r/t is worth 10-12k with all the extra body panels, grill and interior. atleast thats what i think it would pull on ebay
It might, not from me, but it might.
Guys guys guys, what are we complaining about?? Let these guys ask for absurd money for those rust buckets.. It just drives the price of ours up! :2thumbs:

I've always thought it was Orange paint, but it does look close to the Traction bar color which should have been yellow in the pictures.
The rears could have been painted Orange because we called it a "Punkin". Mine's painted white, guess it could be called a Snowball :smilielol:.
And my traction bars :eyes: have a pale yellow color, very old and very faded.
That car must be the envy of almost every trailer park tweeker.
I don't know what the deal was with painting them but it was seen from time to time back some time ago wasn't it.

Yeah Vanguard are kind of famous for outrageous prices.
Vanguard always has a ton of pictures and a video. The cynic in me figures they do that so an inexperienced buyer will say look at all of the documentation., the car must be good. All those pictures do though for someone like our turban friend is expose issues. The painted door latches and the quarters are signs of a car that had a quick paint job. How had is it to remove the latches or at least put some tape on them!
That Dana was heavily rusted at one point. Even the semi gloss paint showed how bad it looked. That oil pan! $90k gets you a dented oil pan, Krylon bombed suspension parts too?
From the outside, the car looks decent. Interesting color combo at least.
For the money, I'd at least expect there not to be a dent in the hood or have rusted hardware in the doors :P Water pump housing is a different color.
The thing is people put all this money in to cars and then think i sould get back that money and then some. In some cases they can but in some they dont.

You seem like the nice looking girl that is so starved for attention, she is always asking guys if they think that she is pretty.
Your car looks nice. When you repeatedly post about your car in a negative light, it smacks of desperation. Seriously...It is a car that many here would love to own.
UNLESS....The car looks great in pictures but is an orange peeled, rattletrap that squeaks, smokes, shakes and overheats every time that you drive it.
I doubt that is the case. I think that you are a guy with a nice car that needs attention. Take an antidepressant or something. :smilielol:

I see the k frame and quarters but what's the difference in the 70 Core support? The top part with number stamp is hard to read but looks to have the correct vin number. The huge red flag I see is it looks like the top of the support with the vin looks bolted on.

The more we tolerate poor grammar, the more LAZY people will be. I get knocked for pointing out grammar and punctuation errors often. I wouldn't do it if I didn't see it so often. I'm also a member of a new Challenger forum. The grammar there is college level compared to what I see on the classic forums and craigslist!
We need a higher standard. Needs restored? Needs replaced? Plenty of repo parts? English isn't that hard to learn. It is free to learn it in this country, right?
It's free and it's easy to learn. It doesn't take much effort at all. Hell this is my adopted language, I grew up speaking Dutch, but at least I put in the effort to do it right.
I gave up on correcting people. I didn't need the flack, especially when it's full of grammatical errors. :lol: Besides, it would be a full time job on this site.
Oh and it's repro, not repo. :slap: :nana:

I am aware of that...I was lumping it in with
needs restored and the others.
When someone writes that their car is full of repo parts, I cringe....as if the parts were taken back because the buyer never paid for them in full.
When I saw the repo remark the first time I thought it was a typo, but then I saw it time and time again. Crazy
You know what gets me? And we see this one all the time. "I would of" instead of "I would have/I would've". Drives me nuts!
Well, back to regular programming I suppose. As with grammatical errors there are tons of delusional sellers as well so bring 'em on!

Grammar, the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit....
HA !!
Nice one..... :lol:
I think the more you frequent a forum, the more the grammatical stuff bothers you, usually takes a few years before you say anything, but you eventually will. The older you get, the more use of correct English concerns you, mainly because you see how the younger generations change meanings, redefine words, then start making things shorter because that's all that fits in twitter.
For some reason, most posters on threads on car forums feel guilty if their post is longer than 3 lines long, to effectively get a point across for me at least, takes a paragraph for each idea or point. Part of my background was in proofreading, editing, and writing effectively, early in career was doing performance appraisals, later was procedural manuals. So, for future use, excuse my posts that get too long, the scroll wheel can expedite reading speeds.
I'm still not sure I'm pronouncing my words right. Is it potato or potato. :shruggy: :nana:

That 67 clearly appears like a guy that has no expectations of anyone actually willing to buy it. These assclowns place a sky high price on the car to purposely avoid selling so they have justification in keeping it.

I like the ""some assembly is required" part of the listing. Seems like that is quite true! The car assembled isn't worth $40k! I sometimes wonder if it is a husband listing the car for "what he has in it" realizing he will not sell the car for that price and then telling his wife that he cannot sell it. That is the only reason I can think except that some of these guys have to be crazy.

Some people would rather get stiffed at a dealership than sell it to someone 1k over than what dealership would of given them.....weird.
A dealership offering a trade though can hide things. For example, if someone comes in and their fighting concern is the final price of the vehicle they are buying the dealer can give them squat for a trade and show a huge discount on the purchase. Others will come in and have their mind set firmly on the value of their trade so the dealer shows them that yes, he is giving them thousands more for the trade value than the dealer in the next town. Of course, he doesn't discount the purchase so in both examples the guy pays the same. Rarely does someone go in and look at nothing but the amount they are actually going out of pocket.

Yup. I talked with the seller last time he had it on fleabay & while he says that he's had offers in the low 40s, 55 large is his bottom dollar. ::)

This red '68 r/t 4 speed has a fender tag which is strange for me(still learning)
All r/t 4 speeds came with Dana 60,didn't they,or am i wrong again?If they did shouldn't the axel code be 68 instead of 48 and the gear should be 3.54 not 3.23?It's either the tag is wrong or the car came with a 8 3/4 and Dana wasn't standard with r/t 4 speeds? :scratchchin:
You are correct on the Dana and four speed RT as well as the gear.

considering you can buy the entire main shell of a charger now brand new for 17000.00, the rest of the cars should go up in value considering the starting point has been redefined.
You almost don't see nice driver quality chargers much for less than 40k. I've seen some clunkers sell online for way over what I would give.

This is an illusion. Nobody is reproducing these bodies as an welded assembly. You can buy many, many of the parts, but no "shell" is available new anywhere.

WOW...didn't know they did this service...buy a junk 5k rotting 2nd gen and give it to them to repair all and reputable....and well known....I say not bad.
Pretty sure I saw it in one magazine I bought recently, i'll list the advertisement here so yall can look it over, showed the basic shell of a charger, (no doors no fenders, but basic firewall to rear deck area all new and priced at 17k.
Maybe it was a rotisserie they were advertising, it was a US Car Tool Ad in the latest Chrysler power magazine.
was the "basic " deal from the website above :yesnod: inside cover :scratchchin: 17K for just body
I didn't know US Car Tool were still in business.

Ask them how many of these they have actually completed. :Twocents:
But if that is just a starting point, spending 50k is going to be pretty easy by the time its close to finished. I don't know how some of you do it, what I consider a basket case many here would see otherwise and see a good deal. It seems that any charger body is worthy of high dollar investment to build something, and value doesn't seem to matter on what it really is or was, but what it appears to be. would have thought real XS cars were worth a premium over XP cars, but that seems to be less the case the more years slip by.
I don't know? Maybe the asking prices but I wouldn't be surprised if actual selling prices still show a premium for XS Chargers.

I think that the XS Cars are still commanding a price premium over XP Cars ? at least by those who do supposedly track selling/reported prices like Hagerty, NADA guides, etc.?
That is what their valuation tools show anyways ? XS are always higher than XP Cars.

Yes, that car is certainly a roach, but I'm not sure if the seller is delusional, I didn't see a crazy buy it now price, the current bidder at 1K? unless he is friends with a rep from AMD, he is the delusional one. :Twocents:
if i was in florida ide give 1k for it. it has all front suspension, axle, bumpers, dash, seat frames, column exc...its worth it

A lot of metal missing but don't think he's delusional, 6k is cheap for a shell, think he tried to put a realistic price on it. Will probably sell for less as people in florida tend to spend less than up north.
Hmmm I must have got really good deal on mine. I paid 800.00 for mine. About 4 1/2 yrs ago. :popcrn: :scratchchin:
I guess the 68 charger I am getting I can sell for 7000.00 with no problem being it all most all there. :scratchchin:

Agree. Plus for 500 bucks you get a 440 and 727. They probably will need a rebuild but still

the car has some other truck chassis welded to the bottom of it, the skins of the body appear to be rotted from the inside out which is typical for a florida car.
I thought the underside looks strange!
It looks like it has been through a fire. :eek2:
LOL, maybe it is a little overpriced. At one time or another it was popular to put charger's on 4x4 frames, although it didn't look like they'd gone that way with this one. Still, amazes me when I see basket cases sell for anything, much less 7000 or more. If it were me, I would send it to the scrapper, but to someone else, I'm sure they can rebuild it to make their dream car.
I am starting to think that maybe we are the delusional ones because obviously these cars can sell for these outrages stupid amounts of money. we know what they're worth And how much it takes to restore one, but they control the market. If someone is willing to pay $15,000 for a Vin number, then it's
is worth$15000. We live in the age of Barrett Jackson, gas monkey garage and all these car build shows where they throw insane amounts of money at car parts like it's not nothing. At the end of the line there's some guy that's got more money then sense and can pay whatever it takes to get it done. I should've never sold that second charger of mine. hundred percent complete except for the carburetor 383 68 charger. Probably is worth 20,000 now

You have a point worth considering.
I've always wondered how many of the overpriced/overpaid basket cases just move from one property to another.
Once it's satisfied someone's dream of owning a Charger, albeit nearly scrap, it moves to the next guys garage/yard/field until that owner figures out what they are up against.

Nice car but for that kind of money at least have the correct front end of a 1970 Charger instead of a 68 Charger. You're buying crowd is reduced when you customize to your liking.
Seats 6??? I only see 5 :shruggy:
I think in a lot of case poeple really dont realize how much parts are and that they have to find and look for them. So in a lot of cases they have the car they just payed all this money for. And it just sits because they are so overwhelm and don't know where to start. So they end reselling the car to try to get there money back out of it or try to make a buck on it.
Basket case???....even a basket has a bottom. :yesnod:

It can be harder to find stuff, but I've had little to no issues getting things eventually. From my personal observations, it would seem parts are harder to come by out west, but it's Canada it really just means we have to pay a little more ala shipping & duties.
I'm curious to see just how bad that car was before they decided to give up and stick the 68 front end on.

:iagree:
This seller reflects pure laziness. Look at ad with the incorrect spelling, spacing, punctuation and attitude. And as Kern Dog mentioned, the lazy effort of taking pictures. He/she probably walked out to the Charger in between a video game break or a Twitter chat in their PJs, grabbed the iPhone, did a quick walk around photo shoot and then ran back into the house.
Not only the poor quality of the pictures are bad but also the scene of the display. Garden hoses dragged all over the place, not one full profile picture of the car, no interior shots and that awning pole being in the way. I mean for Christ sakes take the Charger to a spot that has a good background for a photo shoot if you're going to ask that kind of money for it.
And that the fact he/she is asking that kind of $$$ for this 1969 Dodge Charger warrants me for my complaining. :smilielol:

Interesting choice of exhaust tips too. The DTM-style tips died in the early 2000's, and were mostly used on euro cars. First time i've seen it on a Charger :lol:

right, if you can't spell Afghanistan or even fight, it doesn't bode well, of course looking like you're a stoned 13 year old doesn't help much either, and you're leaning up against a car that is worth way more than a puppy would cost, think you should just ask daddy for your allowance so you can buy a puppy.
I'm beginning to wonder what a non delusional price for an XS restored to driver specs but not a Barrett Jackson level restoration is really worth. Haggarty's values mine around 42k but what would it really bring? Guess I'll find out before too long, probably next year sometime once I've driven it around a bit first. See restored RT SE's on ebay at 80k but they've been on market a while now also.
It isn't uncommon to see people selling basket case cars thinking they are worth big bucks because they've seen em sell on tv for 100k. Only they didn't understand what a nut and bolt resto or rotisserie resto actually means. Guess I should start referring to mine as restored now, as it isn't all original like it was when I got it 40 years ago.

This is a very good question. Seems like some of the guys that have had their Chargers for a while have a hard time with the prices at recent levels.
I can understand that, but, these cars are in demand. It's supply and demand. I wonder how many of these being sold are heading overseas. I imagine a fair #.
I see wanted ads for these cars all the time. Unless the prices are very high or the cars are just very rough, they don't seem to last long either. For good reason,
these machines are hot :2thumbs:

WTF 1973 Dodge Charger SPORT
SPORT??? I know that in 1973 Dodge had a Dart Sport but not a Charger SPORT :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:
The seller wanted to make sure that the viewers were aware that it is a sport hence the word sport being in caps.
And isn't this a 1974 Charger anyway going by the steering wheel?
This has your typical hack jobs on an over priced 3rd gen Charger.
The quarter window SE plug area
The Chevy under hood wire looms, red at that.
The gaudy spark plug wire separators.
The upper radiator flex hose with the sticker still on it.
The blacked out engine compartment.
A/C car missing the under hood A/C components.
The cheesy home job trunk carpet.
The non stock bucket seats.
Is this a car you can jump in and drive it around daily? Sure but not worth it at $13.5k

Yeah , I see what your saying !
Another thing ... Today ! they have it soo easy with digital cameras, take as many pictures as you like , check them all & only use the good ones !! its no brainer !
now back in the ole days , before digital , you could excuse the odd crap picture ... no excuse today , go look on craigslist / ebay at a lot of the mopar project pictures , total waste of time , might as well have taken them , when its foggy & in the dark , for all the good they are :lol: :Twocents::yesnod:

Its all relative! Over here I'm looking at the cheaper end of the market to restore and cars not too different to the $6500 one or worse (engine out and dismantled so you don't know its all there, half missing interiors) are being imported from the States via a company in Holland and retailing on Ebay for around the £10,000 mark....that's about $14500! He has a different one on there every few weeks so I can only guess they must be selling. Makes the odd tatty but on the street ones I find for about £20,000 ($29,000) look good value....at least you know its mostly all there! Cant understand why anyone would pay that much for a stripped and rusted 69.....its cheaper to buy one from an auction in the States and import it myself!!
Edit.....here is the current offering from the Dutch guy. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/dodge-charger-/301860434727?hash=item464848b327:g:q9MAAOSwpzdWq7V0 £12000 is about $17500 by the way and that's just the starting price!! Id like to know on what planet that would be considered 95 % complete with most of the motor missing and no carpets!! And this one is the far less desirable 1970 model (over here at least....no offend to 70 owners!)LOL! Ill pass thanks.

I bet it is.
Think defiantly , there needs to be a delusional buyers thread , ! when cars are up for bidding , i'm sure if the bidders knew whats involved to rebuild / restore , what ever you want to call it . a rotted / rusted wrecked car properly , & how much its going to cost , if you are paying to get it done , just to get a good use able driver , that looks decent , not talking show winner or OEM gold resto stuff , i'm sure the bidding prices would be different , or perhaps i'm just living in the past :yesnod: :eek2: ;)

Wow. Mine should put my son through law school no problem.
The thing is when you look at places like RK motors with price up at 200K, and making sales....well I guess this is where the market is heading.
Someone posted in the want ads yesterday looking for a "driver" 70 charger, so I tried to search a little for one, assuming a budget of around $20K. I found nothing.
I hope the value keeps going up. I already have mine. :lol:

What price should this car be?... :scratchchin:
To me, anything over $10,000 should run and drive. At least a 318 automatic car, right?
I could see a R/T car needing everything being priced in the $12,000 and up price but...
These assclowns will continue to ask these outrageous prices as long as another assclown pays them.
I have a charger on ebay right now with no reserve, we will find out the value of a running driving 70 charger in 3 more days lol
I was just thinking :scratchchin: If a "delusional seller" makes a deal with an ass clown (one with more money then cents) does that transaction not cancel the delusions of the seller?
In any market a level is reached based on deals being made. If buyers stopped buying all together then any seller at any price would become delusional regardless the asking price. :slap:
Another thought is maybe those that are constantly amazed at asking prices are delusional buyers? Sticker shock is a normal part of a market finding it's level. It just so happens in this case their are many more buyers than their are cars.
When the hellcat came out the supply was small and the prices (generally) were high because of the demand. The production of hellcats continues and the markups are going away. The ass clowns with too much money were first to feed. Those big meanies---what nerve they have to be part of the market.:D :Twocents:

In any market a level is reached based on deals being made. If buyers stopped buying all together then any seller at any price would become delusional regardless the asking price. :slap:
Another thought is maybe those that are constantly amazed at asking prices are delusional buyers? Sticker shock is a normal part of a market finding it's level. It just so happens in this case their are many more buyers than their are cars.
When the hellcat came out the supply was small and the prices (generally) were high because of the demand. The production of hellcats continues and the markups are going away. The ass clowns with too much money were first to feed. Those big meanies---what nerve they have to be part of the market.:D :Twocents:
Interesting point, about the delusions canceling each other. I will not try to unload that subject. But one thing for certain is that the appeal and time tested beauty, along with the iconic status of the 68-70 charger is only feeding the delusional pricing. More so and at a faster rate then most other classics which in a sense proves the fact that these cars are something special in the world of classic cars and are very desirable.. but us charger people already knew that.
When people pay the delusional prices with free will then I suppose there is a strong argument to be made that no delusion exists.

I agree. ---Another point is I suspect that folks with more money than common sense are very rare and are not a significant part of this market. I think people with much money may in fact be more prone to buy wisely/frugally and be part of why they have much money.
Also the term "delusional" has a derogatory sound about it. It implies a handicap of sorts. :eek2: Maybe someone can come up with a politically correct way to refer to this--condition?--- rationally impaired?--- They might be entitled to gov. assistance in their endeavor to own or sell a charger? Let's make the 1% pay their fair share so we all can have a charger on a more even playing field.-----OOps I digress :slap:

I guess I did lose you. :shruggy: As far as I am concerned any "PC" recommendation these days is automatically a joke. Those that are PC generators are the ones that make made it a joke by persistent and irrational obsession with it. I'm not offended by your opinion about the PC world.

Most of those cars there are rotisserie restore jobs aint' they
Yeah I would think so, and they are only pulling 55k to 58k for very nice restored condition, just saw a 70 charger r/t se sell for 54k. and a 70 GTO judge sell for 58k. I would have thought the cars would pull closer to 70k but if prices are in the 50s that means prices are not at a high anymore. May be the time to get one.

Not to rock the boat but I think as to whether the Buyer or Seller is crazy is subjective to whether you are the buyer or seller .
I have met many guys that think what they have is Gold ( and they want about that for it ) but when they buy , what the other guy has is junk and not worth it . Buyers always want it for nothing .
So , delusional would be from what side of the fence you sit on . I myself would never pay the stupid prices people put on 318 cars that have transplanted RB's or BB's
stuffed in them . I wouldn't pay the stupid prices that some ask for cars that were modified to fit that owners dream because to undo someone else's
dream is a nightmare usually . And most of these restored cars are over restored or restored by some self proclaimed expert know it all that knows little .
Sure some are crazy selling prices but you only think he's crazy if you are the buyer . I have seen plenty of cars , yes even on this site where the owner thinks his car is really special and is that big buck car . What it gets down to is crazy goes both ways .

i know we base the looks of the rear corners on if its a bondo buggy or not seeing them mudded over, but also theres people who dont like seeing those lines. i think it looks better without the lines, more clean lookin. you dont really see any restomod with those corners visable. it is missing the backup lights and it looks like ray charles welded those subframe connectors lol. also if i can see that much orange peel in the paint from pictures, it wont be any better in person

Exactly. When my car was in the shop I asked them to make those lines disappear. Doesn't make sense to me to have a series of gaps in the body there when the rest of the car is so smooth. Just my opinion but I think the valance corners are unsightly...

A lot of cash but it sure is pretty....................ignoring the carbon dash and shockingly badly fitted headlining!! Pity he could not afford enough exhaust tube to make it to the back of the car!!!
I personally like the body lines in the corners as it breaks it up, but I will admit to being annoyed by folks who immediately think that the car is loaded with filler if they are smoothed over.
On my car, I personally welded in the corners, quarters and valance panel and due to the crappy quality of the skins I was using, had to smooth them over and re cut the lines to make them look decent.
I'm sure there will be people that will immediately think I just mudded over rust to hide something but I don't care, its my car and I know what's under there. :Twocents:

If this was non-ebay sale, I'd say ok, he's starting at 49 and will likely accept a lesser and more realistic amount. But starting bids at 49K? Wow!
After looking at the pictures including the rusty fender tag, I wonder what's hiding in areas that you don't see. Also, is that an unpainted replacement trunk pan? Look at the wheel wells from inside the trunk right where the rubberized coating stops..Looks like rust to me and if it's that bad there, it likely worse in other areas. I'm wondering what's hiding under that vinyl top. :-\

Another top notch product from Van Guard... :eyes:
those corners seem to all get dented sooner or later, and fixing them its easy to fill in the gaps. I know when I was fixing a small dent where the bumper was hit and pushed in the top edge/corner, I ended up cutting it out and welding in a new piece of metal and the welding filled the top half of the line, skim coat to level and the line disappears quite easily, and it looks cleaner. Felt kinda stupid cutting the panel line but didn't want to have one side with and other side without.

It isn't always Bondo. Those that can weld may do it to suit their own tastes.

I can answer this about my case where I filled in those lines. BTW I have heard of this peeve many times and it still feels to me like the objections are out of proportion to the offense. :Twocents:
I was working on replacing the lower portion of both quarter panels on my car and when putting a skim coat of filler for a few paint thickness low spots I chose to blend those pesky seams at the corners while I was at it. This was twenty years ago when that particular issue was a non issue ---and I was fixing my car for me as opposed to fixing it for the next owner should that happen.
Considering the size that this issue has become these days if I had a do over I would leave them alone (stock) just because of how much of a topic it has become. :shruggy:
I do get that if those seams are filled it clearly indicates that work has been done in that area. However if the seams are not filled it by no means is a tell that work has not been done in those areas. --Especially these days when the issue has been spoken of so much and almost become taboo. :slap:

Hi, this is my first post and I'm just trying to figure out a fair price to offer for my first Charger. I'm looking for a solid driver/project 1969 or 1970, maybe a a 68 if the deal is right. I know of six sitting outside. A 1968 R/T, three 69's and two 70's. There is also a few of the 71-74 body style lying around.
I know a lot depends on body condition and how rusty they are, but they are complete and not taken apart.
The cars are non running, complete and sitting outside for years. I have to see them again for a closer look rustwise but they seemed decent upon first look. I know that means little but that's all I got. I did not take pictures out of respect for privacy.
This is a good thread and I agree some of the prices I see are delusional to me.

Without pics, even giving you an estimate is almost impossible. But beware, if they've been sitting outdoors anywhere but the desert there will be rust hiding where you cannot see it. Sitting outside is one of the worst things. Plus, value will also depend on the model and options of each car, with the fender tag being the easiest place to look if the tag hasn't been removed. And having an engine in it doesn't mean it's the original. RT badges can be added too.
Basically, without pics and numbers (i.e. fender tag/first letters in the vin) giving you an approximate value is very difficult and is also somewhat subjective because everyone has an opinion.
:iagree: too many variables. Is a rusty ratty car worth 5k if it needs 20k in parts? To some yes, to others no. Get some pics or ask to take some!
ok so we know a rough 70 charger runner driver with no title will bring around 10k lol. was my car...

That was about what I figured you would fetch on ebay for it. Would I have paid that? no. :icon_smile_big:
At the price point there wasn't much competition against yours.
maybe i should have put a $20k delusional reserve on it lol jk, that is the exact price i guessed it would go for on ebay.

1969 one owner for about twice what I'd pay.
http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/5427876710.html
1968 R/T. Maybe not delusional but very, very optimistic.
IMHO both of those will likely sell for close to asking price.
The complete one would be great value over here..... UK. Would be very tempted if it was over here at that price....but it would be near double!

Why is 2nd guy delusional? because it isn't an RT? seems to be a realistic price for a restored 2nd gen, even if not an RT, SE or hemi. Maybe a little higher than I would think he'd get for it, but have to start somewhere when advertising people always try to offer less than asking price, hardly ever see bidding wars. I'd hope to get close to that amount for mine and i'm not delusional. values have been significantly higher in the past so there is room to grow in today's prices.
You mean 45 grand for a car in primer, driven in mud, filth all over the floor, painted gas fill tube, headlight doors don't close, rust around the bottom of the left rear corner window molding, trunk full of crap, and missing trim & emblems doesn't seem high to you? And that's what you can see from the pictures. I'm sure that there's a reason he didn't post any engine shots & remove the stuff out of the trunk. But, it does appear that he'll throw in his monthly bills that you can clearly see in the back seat.
This car has "danger Will Robinson" written all over it.
didn't look like it was primer to me, looked like it was a satin black paint job, with the stripe over the top, otherwise would have thought cheaper was more like it. rust around rear glass was minor as far as I could tell, did not look like bad rust there, but satin black hides a lot pretty easily. trunk shot showed a new mat, and what looked like a car cover, center section looked painted and not just rust like others on the market.
Think its kind of funny to categorize a seller as delusional because he left mail in the seat before taking pictures, yes, 45k is a bit high and I doubt he'll get that price, but can see him getting over 25k for it. As for the gas fill tube, the stock ones aren't much to look at, I bought a chrome replacement for mine but it kept causing gas fumes to escape inside the garage so I put the original back on which did not cause stink in the garage. We seem to get grief no matter what we do, replace old and moldy with new and shiny...get bitched at because it wasn't that way from factory, leave factory piece, get grief because its crusty or has been painted over.
While I'll agree that his photo skills are lacking, and before posting pics to advertise for sale should at least clean out the interior and vacuum it, basically make it presentable, not everyone thinks ahead when selling, sometimes they wait too long and then have to sell and may not have time or energy to climb around inside and make everything perfect. I see many car for sale ads today that pretty much suck picture wise. Is it a sin to sell a car with non working vacuum door system for headlights? If he hadn't left them up in pics, you'd probably complain he wasn't up front in not mentioning it in ad if he'd lowered the doors manually. Fixing the doors isn't a simple affair, with all the vacuum lines, and parts that cause it to fail. Mine leaks at switch in cluster, have replacement switch but even after I fix that, no telling if rest of system will work, fully expect to have to replace all the lines/hoses, possibly the tank under battery, or even the pots at headlights, sometimes its just not worth it, if new buyer wants to fix he should be told up front, but even those of us that restored their own cars can't fix everything. And now there isn't many places to take a car like ours to get things fixed anymore, few shops can actually do it.
It is getting to the point in this thread that any car advertised for a reasonable price is classified as delusional only because they aren't offering it at steal me prices. Interior looked restored to me, even if dirty. Missing emblems? not a real RT so wouldn't have many outside, b pillar charger emblem and grill charger and arrow emblems...not seen due to doors being up.

didn't look like it was primer to me, looked like it was a satin black paint job,
Just as bad. And yes, I will agree that the interior does look nice.

not because of the current asking price , not sure I want to get involved in that deal ( think they are all over priced imo , im stuck in the past :slap: :P ), compare it to the black primered 68 (MTD) posted above !!
car looks good , but as with many , the more you look , you see stuff in correct or wrong or needing more work or fiddling with etc .. if this car looks as good as it does , in its 5 /10 / 15 footer , bottom of the car in the shadow pictures , up close being inspected in person !! can see a nother certain dealer buying it & advertising for 70k plus :yesnod:

yes your right ,
think I might of made my post confusing , ( sounded ok , when typing :icon_smile_blackeye: :P) what I said was , I posted this car to compare price wise , to , the matt black 68 charger that dirty turbin posted , then said , if this bronze 69 looks as good in person as it does in the pictures ! then at the price of 47k , i'm sure a certain dealer ( remember a green & tan R/T SE ) will buy it , & then advertise it back on ebay for 70k , prolly over 80 k now looking at his recent ads :yesnod:

Your point came across when I read your reply. I think that's a nice 69 Charger for comparison price wise to that black 68. But wondering why no under carriage shots? Still a nice car that you could own and drive compared to buying a 10K hulk and doing the resto yourself. :cheers:
The bronze 69 looks far more sanitary, at least in the pictures, than the primer 68. :2thumbs:
I understood you TT, you make a good point.
Most people would easily pick the Tan car over the Black one if they had 50k to drop.
You can clearly see the contrasting effort both sellers have gone to with these ads.
BTW, notice the sneaky green '68 in the garage of the Tan ad.
TPR
It speaks of laziness to post pictures of a car where the floormats are dirty. Matte black ? That was never a factory color so the car cannot be considered "Restored".
I've never considered black primer, or satin "hot rod" black to be a good color for a car, it appeals to some, and it was popular with the F&F crowd to a point where now they have a name for it, the murdered out look, I'm somewhat of a purist as far as colors go, either it was available from dodge or it wasn't, and dodge had always offered a very wide choice of colors. But I also don't insult those that like black satin...one of our more prolific posters here has one.
Bronze RT SE looked good to me, 47k is probably a realistic price for it, even if there are things to fix on it. And coming from another RT SE owner, I don't think 50k is too high for a decent RT SE. If it was extremely clean and looked totally restored I'd think the price could go quite a bit higher. There has to be a differentiation between a real RT vs a clone or non RT 383 car. RT's used to be 70k at one point, i'd expect them to get back up there eventually.
I agree, its laziness on part of seller NOT to clean out the interior, or NOT to spend a day or two polishing or waxing a car to make it extra shiny before attempting to sell at the 50k pricepoint. (or even 40k). If they were asking 25k I wouldn't be too critical of them.

I completely agree. You can't ask "restored" money for something that isn't restored. Since this person can't take 10 minutes to clean his car out and is asking far above what the car is worth, you can see that he is completely delusional and his ad 100% qualifies to be in this thread. :2thumbs:

Worm gear hose clamps, zip ties for heater hoses, gaudy red wire for some sort of accessory running from the + battery post and it appears that there is no wire going to the oil sending unit to name a few.
Is the battery ground cable and throttle return spring bracket correct?

1/2" holes in the upper grill frame, look at where the oil pressure sender is, no headlight vacuum hoses, coil, Holley carb, unpainted fender bolts, crappy wiring, grommet where the headlight hoses go through the firewall, wrong valve cover breather cap & hose, washes instead of alternator spacers, and the list goes on.............

The SFGT was for sale about three months ago in Ohio for 29k$.
There were more than a half dozen of buyers lined up willing to pay the price but Scott from Oklahoma got it.
His 55k$ seem optimistic to me,too but he could probably get 35k $ for it. One of only 375 buillt, rare colour, great options and a nice driver

What with AMD, re-pop Fender and Dash VIN Tags, and about another $100K plus in restoration costs ? on top of the $19K purchase ?
You too could be the proud owner of a very fine...... non-numbers matching, green(I personally do like green), column shift, automatic, '68 Hemi Car ?
for say,
$120K to $130K in total ?
just say'in... I dunno if the math adds up or not ?

i like the pie pan idea always wondered what i can do with that spare i have
For that kinda coin you'd think he'd invest $50 for some new gauge decals. No wait, I'm wrong. You'd expect it comes with a small condo.
I was thinking about buying a steel wheel, correct tire and the wheelcover that the car was ordered with originally on build sheet, don't want to have a full set, but wanted to show a sample of what it would have looked like for gawkers at shows...buuutttt when I replaced the trunk floor I had to cut the bracket off the trunk floor and also cut off loop and bracket for jack, and never did replace those brackets. and I put a boom box under the package tray so a spare won't likely fit. Something for the next owner to decide to do, as I know I can't make mine A1 full restored just have to settle for close to original as possible.

Well at least the 318 was replaced with a 440. :Twocents:
Theres a black 69 R/T 440 0n ebay right now at 70,000, nice car but isnt that a little high? Look at the roof liner, non matching #s and has new quarters, fenders, floors. Had to have been kinda rotten at one point, am I wrong
Yes 70K is way too high imo, but mentioning it is a non matching drivetrain is not a deal breaker on this car, especially if it was a 318 car. IMO, who cares about a numbers matching 318 car. I'd pay more if someone put in a big block. Period. :Twocents:
I wonder if some rich sucker in Europe is going to end up buying some of these cars? I think my 68 318 replaced with the 452 stroker (that isn't running) is now worth $60,000 lol.....maybe $70000 lol

Was 16K lol, I was in the process of trading my Thunderbird, and 8000$ for it at the time. Someone else beat me to it with full cash. If I'm not mistaken, he didn't have the vinyl on yet; so I guess whomever bought it made SOME progress... *Sigh*

Round rivets and 'Chrysler' on tag?! The cherry on top o this one.
I saw the round rivets too (someone changed the dash out, more than likely). I don't remember off hand, but what's wrong with Chrysler on the tag ?

How about 60K for an unfinished project 318 car?
Actually you are buying the car once it's finished. But yes still too much.
It should say 'Chrysler Corporation' and have the correct font.
This is what it should look like:

For a driver-quality car, for someone not in to originality, it looks ok at that price. I'm sure there are plenty of other shortcuts taken, but at least they aren't plugging it for $60k+.
Assuming that car runs and drives as it claims to look, that's a good price for a driver...

For the most part, this is true.
I think this guy really doesn't want to sell this rusting (by now) car, he's upped the price a few thousand.

On the defense on the pop rivets, Back in the late 70's/early 80's My 70 Charger with a green interior was swapped for a black 68 charger's interior. This included the dash. It still shows it had a 318 on the VIN, so no fishy stuff going on here. :Twocents:

If you look at the Porsche CL ad, the first pic is a screen shot and the seats are red. And in the last pic the seats are tan. Me thinks that Mr. Porsche seller randomly searched for a dusty Porsche picture that matched his year/make/model so he could use the exclusive "Barn Find" as a sales tactic. My god this barn find crap is so ignorant.

Is it wrong to want to flood his email and voicemail with low ball offers from the ENTIRE Dodge Charger forum membership to try a give him and other sellers like him a clue? So to make sure I understand him correctly, he wants to take an unfinished 69 383 car that he probably can't afford to finish restoring and trade even up for a completely restored 68 440RT charger correct? Sounds like a great deal...for him lol

What a hack job...
...and then there's the car.
This crazy bastard lives just a few miles from where I work.
http://macon.craigslist.org/cto/5549442429.html
and if that isn't bad enough, he's got a 68 sport satellite you can clone into a roadrunner: (and apparently make megabucks)
https://macon.craigslist.org/cto/5601536058.html
At least he has a motor to throw in with this one, but it is of questionable shape at best. Has little or no rust--but there's a replacement floor pan just sitting in there, and it looks like the whole bottom half of the quarterpanel is gone.
I don't know where these guys get these prices. If they bothered to look at the cost of a few AMD replacement panels, they'd realize what it costs to restore a car in that kind of shape. Frustrating, to say the least.
Too much watching Barrett Jackson is what I think causes this. I had one paint guy tell me my car would be worth $70,000 LOL

The price of the charger seems more out of sorts than the Plymouth. No dash (therefore no vin) is what makes it a parts car for me.

From the ad: I have a 1970 Dodge Charger no motor no trans no front clip no dash no seats good doors good fixer upper.
Sounds like a pretty simple little "fixer upper."
IMO, I dunno if all of these guys are THAT delusional or not ?
Granted,
many might be asking alotta dough for basically junk ? nonetheless, some recent "offers to purchase" I've witnessed on fine R/T examples, albeit still non-Hemi cars, and they are approaching six digits !
Canadian peso's mind you.... but still makes me think of starting a Delusional BUYER's thread !
If all the sellers are asking "too much", and all the buyers are paying "too much", and sales are happening . . then it's not too much anymore. It's the accurate value.
That makes us the delusional ones for insisting they are all wrong.
^^^ agree The real delusion is that money has the value we feel or think it has.
The market place tells what the value of money is.

Ehh...I duno, there's a few cars on the market where they are just shooting for the moon on price because they saw one sell of the same year on Barret Jackson for 100k. But they are too dumb to realize that was a rare model and probably took 60k to get it to be worth 100k

Everybody has been saying this for years. But that's just it - the big-time TV auctions have been going on since the early Bush/Cheney era. This isn't a temporary thing. We wouldn't call something a brief temporary inflation of prices if it had occurred from 1964-1976.
There is no law saying a project car's value must be low enough to make it a practical resto. If project demand is high enough that 1/3rd-finished cars are selling for 2/3rds-finished prices, then so be it. That's the accurate project value.
I have tested the waters many times to see what my car fetches on the market when I feel tired of the charger I want to sell and leave it up for 2 to 3 weeks. I want to say NO WAY IN HELL those junkers r selling one bit which makes em delusional sellers. I sell my stuff pretty cheap and fair...at roughly 50 percent what I bought it for....I had no takers at 30k not even 20k on my car...sometimes I say I want to go get a house and uee charger as down payment and hell majority of folks want to give me 10k max.
Point of story is these sellers are delusional not the buyers. ...we tried to do a delusional buyers thread and it wasn't that good..........

I wouldn't pay close to $58,000 for that.
But I would pay thousands more than normal for that car if the sheetmetal is original & solid like he claims. I'd rather have original sheetmetal that needs a paintjob over a nice shiny new body from Taiwan.
That maroon 68 isn't a bad looking car. Sure, there are many incorrect things about it but it is easy to understand how a shop can rack up $80,000 in parts and labor. How many guys here add in their own labor when estimating the replacement value of their 68-70 Chargers?

I was trying to buy that 70 rt, he taunted me for about 4 months. I don't have a 70 rt and he said that one was a rt/se numbers matching 4 speed with power windows. Which is definitely worth the 15k he was initially asking. Then come to find out its not an se, no power windows, automatic and had a 383 swapped in it. I'm glad I didn't send the money, almost got snookered. He sent a pic of the 440hp stamp on the block to me but he probably got that off google

Craigslist would seem to be a strange place to both sell and buy a classic car for $81k. If serious you would think they would at least put up on eBay ad or Hemmings, etc. I sometimes wonder if this strange listings are guys that are posting cars for money invested (as opposed to value) under spousal pressure. I cannot think of any other reason for a craigs list ad like that.

My point being, as far as Duster's go it looks to be as good as it gets :2thumbs:
But with a NON Original Engine and no documentation ?
IMO,
it's just not in the "collectable" price category no matter how nice.
OK, now I'll get thrashed..... but I guess I am still one of those that feel the upper ends of the price market are still dominated by the "Collectable" Numbers/Documented Original examples ? and that those drag the prices UP on the rest.

I wont trash you there- I agree. I just looked at the pictures of the Duster and assumed from the price tag it was numbers matching...etc..

There has to be some kind of validation for throwing big money at old cars. Nobody throw money out of a small plane and expects a return. :Twocents:
Not to mention, what is there to "love" in that auction? How much is left when you start removing rot? What sense does it make to spend thousands extra replacing metal not required when spending a few bucks extra and upgrading condition even slightly? I can see fixing a car when there is something left to it.

Not everyone is setting out to build a street/stock restored car. Not everyone intends to keep the subframes/floors. Racers & customizers need body shells too.
Meanwhile, the repro body shell companies just keep on ignoring the 68-70 Charger . . . gotta make those super-rare 55 Chevys and 65 Mustangs . . .
:iagree:
Honestly I have been wondering if my car is too complete to use as my project. It is numbers matching and more or less complete. I have been thinking about starting out with more of a shell for my devious purposes. :D
Because if I restored it myself I could make millions, but I want to sell it for 20k plus so you can make millions instead.

In other words, by Chrysler not stamping VIN number on 318s they knew that they were pretty much worthless in comparison to big blocks. Intersting.

They started stamping VIN's on ALL engine blocks in '68, however depending on when the engine mated with the car it may or may not have the VIN.

IMO, I think the $1,450. price increase describes the "delusional" market in a nutshell ? If it doesn't sell at a stupid price ? just make the price even stupider !
And that would be my perception at a first glance as well ?
But then again, on closer inspection of monetary policy, it just may NOT be that hard to explain ?
Because the really fine examples of these Cars have become "Investments" for wealthy individuals looking to park money in safe havens ?(a record amount of money in the U.S. is in a "flight to safety", assets, collectibles to retain value, ANY value, ANY where)
One then needs only look at even 10 year U.S. Treasury Bond yields over the past 5 months since February until now, which have dropped to
record lows in recorded history since the year
1790 !.
Even from 1.7% which was a record low back in February 2016.... to the current new record low of 1.38% 2 days ago trying to discourage people "parking" money for safety.

If it doesn't sell at a stupid price ? just make the price even stupider !
Maybe it's just listed as "free advertising" for their company?
There is a '67 Coronet R/T that has been making the rounds for years. One car dealership buys it, has it listed for $75,000, draws people to their website or dealership in person. Eventually it's sold to another dealership who does the same thing. Been bouncing around for about 6 years like that.

Inn today's money, I'd say that the current bid is about what that roach is worth. ::)
I find that kind of patch-job refreshingly honest.
If it was covered in bondo and JC Whitney patch panels, it would be starting at $15k and not any better of a car.

1 day in the books and it's already at $3550.00. Way more than when MTD posted it at the $1200.00 range.
Amongst the pop rivet patch work, did anyone notice the funky driver's side mirror?
Some good parts on this Charger. If I were to land it, I would drive it around some before tearing it apart. But the current bid has exceeded what I would offer.

not bad im sure he did spend 120k for it....I wouldn't buy it for 90k though I rather bought a HEMI and allocate the money afterwards.

Hey you're supposed to leave the battery terminal knit picking to me lol. That's my biggest pet peeve on these $40,000+ Chargers.

Okay, it's a rough primered car and it's got worthless quarters. Most other $10-15,000 Chargers on Ebay have quarters just as bad under the bondo and shiny paint.

Okay I guess I can shed some light on your comment. Better to have a Charger with junk quarters than be fooled by a shiny paint job hiding the same junk quarters but more for a let down once the unlucky buyer realizes it.
I'm just so grateful that I got my(I'll call it 90% rust fee) 68 H code Charger original drive train complete car for $10,750 a few years back.

4x4 muscle cars happen sometimes.
People rarely build them today but there are lots of older builds out there. They are usually for sale and rarely ever getting sold.
I think that one is from 10-15 years ago which is younger than most.

The car has been around for a while. It is a 68 body over a Dodge Ram. It used to be green and I guess when they could not sell it they painted it and figured they would up the chances of selling it.
People seem to like building those things more than owning them. Resale value is nonexistent.

After seeing this I re-visited the CL listing and as of 8-5-16 he has 54 item listed and 18 of them have been sold. Pretty impressive at those prices unless he came down on the price during each transaction which we would never know about.
This goes to prove that there is a lot of uneducated people out there about the hobby or that there is the purist needing to make a deadline on their restorations and they HAVE to HAVE that part.

this guy...lol :rofl:
HOLY FN CRAP! :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:
Too many to poke fun at but here's what stood out to me:
Dome lens $100 WTF
E Brake pedal pad $90.00 Again WTF
Quarter Panel Extension $575.00 Five seventy five WTF!!! :smilielol:
And of course he has to have that cocky attitude at the bottom of the listing.
Amazing that he sold 4 items already.
He's fishing museum car owners who have tons of money.
Thanks for sharing Chris. :cheers:

QuoteFinished Chargers are getting upwards of $100,000+ , so there it is practically impossible to over-invest in this Charger.

Happens Amigo! I had the same thing with a 1972 Cutlass two years ago...
http://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/city-of-toronto/1972-cutlass-supreme/1187927791?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
Stock 350 Cutlass Supreme
(http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/ODAwWDQ1MA==/z/krAAAOSwqfNXpRe6/$_27.JPG)
I sold that car for 9500$... Figured the buyer was going to keep it and drive it for a while as; "His dad had a 76 Cutlass just like it!" It has bondo in a couple places, and rust along the dash at the window, around the rear window on the inside, and bubbles under the vinyl. However, it was a great driver car. The current owner first tried to sell last year for 25K, then 23.5, now 20. Even with the gasket work, and new exhaust, there is NO WAY it's worth over 13,500-14,000 Canadian. You can get a MINT restored Cutlass here for 15-18, anything more than that would be in the show car/ resto-mod realm.
It sucks on some level, but you just have to accept these things, and move on to greener pastures :2thumbs:

You couldn't build either one for less. Tho I do like the airshock lines tied around the gas tank straps.
No way in hell that a 74 Charger would be worth that much, even as a 10K survivor.

This is true. Nothing against 3rd gen Chargers especially 73-74 (love 'em) but they don't have a re-sell value to the educated crowd unless they are the rallye versions with 4 speed or with rare options such as sunroof etc.. You could be handed a 1973 Charger for free that needed restored and still might not gain any profit when completed. If you're going to buy a 73-74 Charger to restore you better own it for awhile and at least get some driving pleasure out of it.
Let's say someone buys that 74 Charger for $22,000 and does a modest $8K restoration on it. Do you think that car will sell for 30K+ ??? Don't think so.

I was looking at this car earlier today online since it definitely attracts my attention. I have a WTB over on the Cars Wanted section for a 1968 R/T and have not been having much luck. I have been reading the forums for months though and have been trying to spot the same types of things you guys do. Maybe I can take a shot at this for why it may be too high in price.
1. Not sure if car has numbers matching driveline, or any info about what type of 440 is in the car (date code correct, late 70s 440, etc)
2. Car has body filler in rear valence corners (I know people hate this one)
3. No details of resto, to include any metal work or how it was done, if any
4. Emblems and some other chrome (like around rear tail lights) have pitting
5. Some items don't work, but are mentioned
6. Fender tag codes restamped? I'm not sure if this makes a difference as long as it matches broadcast sheet.
Anything else my novice eyes have missed? I am very interested to get a car like this and was wondering what it may be worth. Thanks for any help and correction.

Thank you for the reply and the link to that video! I had watched that one on YouTube months ago and never realized this was that car. In it I don't think he ever mention if the car has a matching #s drivetrain, but the Ebay listing now states the motor is not, but the trans is. The car seems to perform well in the video.
Although overpriced, it is neat to see a silver, no vinyl top, 4 speed, dana car. Having been looking for a 68 R/T for quite awhile now I don't see too many cars like this pop up.
Do you think the fender tag has been restamped? The actual codes look much clearer than the rest of the tag. It almost even looks like the spot for the rear window defogger (N=8) was coded, but they forgot to overstamp that one.
Any thought on what this car is realistically worth?

My favorite is "all the hard work is done".
Which often means the seller has pulled the car completely apart and scattered the parts throughout their garage.
Ready for paint...
I have seen a number of primer covered cars that still need a whole lot of work. Dull finish primer can hide pretty bad bodywork!

I was looking at this car earlier today online since it definitely attracts my attention. I have a WTB over on the Cars Wanted section for a 1968 R/T and have not been having much luck. I have been reading the forums for months though and have been trying to spot the same types of things you guys do. Maybe I can take a shot at this for why it may be too high in price.
1. Not sure if car has numbers matching driveline, or any info about what type of 440 is in the car (date code correct, late 70s 440, etc)
2. Car has body filler in rear valence corners (I know people hate this one)
3. No details of resto, to include any metal work or how it was done, if any
4. Emblems and some other chrome (like around rear tail lights) have pitting
5. Some items don't work, but are mentioned
6. Fender tag codes restamped? I'm not sure if this makes a difference as long as it matches broadcast sheet.
Anything else my novice eyes have missed? I am very interested to get a car like this and was wondering what it may be worth. Thanks for any help and correction.
hello & welcome 68F :cheers: :2thumbs:
nother case of , the closer you look at this car , the more you see wrong & or should not be on a car with this asking price IMO , some things are not much of a biggie & or not expensive to put right ...... , but others like , rear lower valance corners to quarters shaped wrong & no seam .
in the ebay picture Deck lids off color ! prolly done it off the car :scratchchin: , also may be poor application of the base coat ( too wet ) on top of adjacent panels ,it could just be the light , or maybe me being in body & paint for 28 years my eyes are playing tricks on me & looking for something that's not really there :lol::image_294343: :P , looks okish in video below ... , in any case not cheap if you have to pay a body / paint shop to put it right .
also looks like 50 year old wiring too , so it needs all new M&H harnesses , not cheap either :Twocents:
awesome looking charger though in silver :drool5:
heres a video of the car when it was for sale last year
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeiQMY4DrTA
Thank you for the reply and the link to that video! I had watched that one on YouTube months ago and never realized this was that car. In it I don't think he ever mention if the car has a matching #s drivetrain, but the Ebay listing now states the motor is not, but the trans is. The car seems to perform well in the video.
Although overpriced, it is neat to see a silver, no vinyl top, 4 speed, dana car. Having been looking for a 68 R/T for quite awhile now I don't see too many cars like this pop up.
Do you think the fender tag has been restamped? The actual codes look much clearer than the rest of the tag. It almost even looks like the spot for the rear window defogger (N=8) was coded, but they forgot to overstamp that one.
Any thought on what this car is realistically worth?
I don't like the way the Trunk Extensions were thrown in there & not welded right, The seam sealer would of helped hid that crappy job if he used it. Of course I don't like body color painted caster/camber access plates ect, ect. Worth $30K in my opinion. LEON.

$250k? That is crazy. The most a first gen sold for was a little less than $70k (1st gen hemi sold from Wellborn collection). Very nice car but probably $75ishk. This is over 3X too high
So the owner didn't lift a finger on the restoration other than to write checks to a shop that did all the work and is now selling it on consignment so this place jacks on their profit.
restoration cost =/= sale price
They probably got over $100k in Resto, How can you sell it for less then $100k & make a profit. LEON.

I think this was a RK motors restoration. Suspect there was a pretty big bill as a result but like many restorations, the car can be worth well less than the amount paid almost the minute it is completed.
What I have a hard time with is that the restoration costs and selling prices are not secret information. :shruggy:
I guess that is why this thread is about delusions. :slap:
The primary hope (I guess) would be to reach out to find the lone person with money that just wants --that-- car and paying foolish money is just fine.
One thing seems to be true---Even if this car sold for the asking price the value of others like it will not go up. Just more people hoping the last fool has yet to be harvested.
Another aspect of asking very high prices may just be a way to --show-- the car in public to get some feedback for all the effort spent.

REALLY, Most people do not like to reveal how much they have spent on a Restoration. Restoration cost & selling price almost always seems to be a Secret. If it sold for the $250k he wants the value may not go up but now everybody that owns one will raise there price & want more. LEON.
Sellers are crazy for confusing the amount they invested with the item's final value.
But buyers are equally crazy for thinking all sellers owe them a reasonable price.
Some people are only interested in selling if they get a bigger number that market value. So what? If they would rather hold out for years, that's their choice. There is nothing in the Constitution or the 10 Commandments prohibiting that. You don't have to buy anything from them.

Three ways to tell if you are a redneck/pikey.
You are if;
1. If your wife's hairdo has ever been destroyed by a ceiling fan.
2. When you buy a new house your friends have to help you push it into position.

This thing is a pile. The quarters are not even close to being correct. There are no body lines in them and they are about 2 inches too short at the bottom. The engine campartment is a total mess with orange over spray everywhere. You can also tell the engine was painted while sitting in the car, always a good look. The trunk floor has been sprayed with so much canned rustproofing to fill in the holes and cover the heavy scaling. And as of now this thing is up over $26000.00. What the ****. :shruggy:

Look at that trunk! Yikes!
Seems like it will wind up at a dealership and with a 50k price tag because its a knock off general Lee.
GL replicas are normally overpriced for what they are. It's been that way for decades.
Same with Eleanor replica Mustangs.
Same with 318 VIN Mopars that have been accurately cloned into Hemi cars.
What is there to say? Certain cars are popular.
Yeah, that General Lee is only good for one jump in that condition. :rofl:
I agree that General Lee is in bad shape. It's amazing how much people will pay for orange paint and stickers!
People may not be paying it for this one either. We'll see if the car gets re-listed in a month or two.
Anybody else notice the grille on that General Lee? The entire front point on the center section is missing yet they installed the trim :hah:
This one looks full of Bondo also.

I don't normally get involved , with this thread , because ;).
( 1) all chargers & mopars are over priced IMO , well maybe 99% of them you see for sale now :yesnod: :P ;)
(2) every one tries to make a little money on cars we sell , & no one wants to sell their car at a loss :-\.
( 3) all dealers / flippers , buy cheap & inflate / mark up the price as much as they can , buy low & sell high ! that's what they do , that's their job !! . looking for that one guy with more money than sense :yesnod:
no offence meant , everyone to their own !! if the buyer is happy with his or hers purchase :cheers:
anyways , why ive posted in this thread , is because of this ..... we all know DOH & GL fans are a loyal mob & love their chargers as much as we love ours ....
imo the asking price of this is well ...... unless its a typo & should be $15,000 , :scratchchin:

If you paint a Charger like the GL and abuse it, you get criticized for not valuing it enough.
If you paint a Charger like the GL and list it for a high price (which is very normal for any Charger), you get criticized for valuing it too much.
Being a GL fan in this hobby is sometimes like being a teenage boy in this hobby. No matter what you do it will provoke at least a few snide remarks. If a teenager has a nice musclecar then he doesn't deserve it. If he has a rough musclecar then he is abusing it. If he doesn't have a musclecar then he doesn't appreciate them enough. He can't win.

based on one picture? I still see a 25k max 30k...just me...
I see four pictures! Not saying it's cheap...it's just not as outrageously priced as some and imo barely qualifies for the thread title....Imo of course, and I'm in the U.K. where twenty g buys you a rusty project that's probably not much more than a shell! That car for $39,999 (about £29,000) would already be sold if it was for sale here.

TT, did you happen to watch the video on this red 68? It had electric issues with the gauge cluster turn signal indicators and the pass. side inner tail light. Don't they edit these videos? It's like they don't care. Also a random spare tire with slathered black paint on the rim with some worn used tire just thrown in the trunk and not even mounted. The wrinkled trunk floor mat. Just pure laziness and a thrown together car and you're going to ask 100k +. Good catch on the leaf spring forward mounting box bolt.

It sucks, because every part of me WANTS to like that car, but the deeper you dig, the more you see a polished turd. At least it gives me things to watch out for with my own build. A lot of these cars are great guides on how not to do things.

My guess is it means the core support, trunk sequential #'s will not match, that is, it was a 70 V code car in a kit - dash, door, build sheet and fender tag from a wrecked/destroyed car and another 70 donor. :Twocents:

I hope, without going through the 49 pages, that this one will be OK, although it is only a Charger carburetor, not a complete Charger, and I think I still have the little newspaper ad but not handy right now.
But this was in 1983 or so, it was one of those little free "swap shop" flyers that are printed for local people, so there was the little add for the Dodge Charger carburetor, $25,000, and it gave the phone number. If I remember, there was some other trivial part listed there too for about $10,000.
Never did call to see if he'd sold them. If I can find the ad I'll scan it and post it.
Not a Charger, but a very nice 69 Coronet 500. She has run through E-Bay a few times bringing around $18 or so each time. . . which I thought was a touch high anyway.. For the heck of it I called to find out what it would take to drive it away. . . . $42,000.00 is the bottom dollar. :P It was everything I could do to keep from asking them how many gold bars were in the trunk.

You think that for £12000 (about $16750) you would get a complete car....or at least a complete engine. Also you think he might realise that, since he got not a single bid last time, that it might be just a touch expensive!!

They appear to be so. They used the generic power window switch kits.
100k+ for this molested 68 Charger? Just because "Counting Cars" rebuilt it? Has their autographs on it? Don't think so.
They absolutely ruined this Charger for that asking price. Poor craftsmanship. Lack of professionalism . Lazy hack jobs. As Mytur mentioned, this was probably a good starting platform before Fuck Face touched it.

For a 41,000 mile original, why is the gas fill tube painted.
That wreck would probably be a good starting point for somebody if the price was reasonable. It's likely a low-rust car in that area. I suspect that wreck damage looks worse than it is.

If it wasn't priced so far off the map I would be calling it a nice car. It's a 40yo car in 5yo shape.
But It's a '75 Mopar. You could put a 426 Hemi in it and still not get $29k.
You could put $28,000 in the glove box and still not get $29,500 for the car.
And also for $29,500 it deserves trash to be removed from the floor, vacuumed floor and junk removed from the trunk wouldn't you say??
Delusional....? Maybe or maybe not....but £48000 is about $60,000 .....a lot for a 69 318 IMO...and certainly rather more than others I looked at during my search!! And I think that zero bids at the £32,000 staring price (about $40,000) with less than two days to go should have given the seller a clue that its too much!

Stupid badging and stripe. Filled corners and dodgy looking rocker/quarter areas, crap engine bay. :eek2:
I agree...except the corners are not filled if you look close....just the photo quality.
He must have paid too much when he bought it 2 years ago.
The left side rocker/rear fender area is shockingly bad......like the surface of the ocean!! Chargers are very expensive in the UK.... $15,000 gets you a very rusty project car that's probably not complete.....but even so!!
The seam to the side looks filled and the one to the rear valence is much less pronounced than factory.
Oh yeah...I was only really looking at the rear one.....doh! ::)

I was single from 1993 to 1999. Back then the internet was still developing at a fast rate. I was on a few sites, long before the Plenty O Fish, Tinder, E Harmony, Match.com, etc.
Yeah... I'm married to the last woman that I met online. Friggin fantastic woman that never asked me to change, actually laughs at my jokes (Not all of them) and is beautiful, sweet and kind.
I really scored big. :yesnod:

Yea, but there is no such thing a 72 R/T SE Charger.
Oops...never even noticed that...was just looking at the photos!

Is it a decent car to hop in drive around and get some looks? Yes.
But if you were to correct all of the defects, the next thing you know you're chipping out those rust spots. They become bigger holes. Next thing you know you're replacing sheet metal and now you're at least 10K into cost plus the $27k you paid for it and at the end of the day you have a 1972 Charger SE for $37,000. And that's if you stay on course to complete it before the realization of a money pit sinks in.
He/she claims un-restored. Correct me if I'm wrong but 1972 Charger SE did not come with a power bulge hood, rallyes did but not SE. So they switched the hood which matches the color of the car. So either they did a great job of matching the colors or the car has a repaint. Which means un-restored is out the window. Also the R/T bulge the hood doesn't match the theme of the car which the SEs received a flat hood and not being an R/T. So I question their "Un-restored" BS it claims to be.
Geez, need another cup of coffee?
I'd think by now we'd all know value, restored, and original all mean different things to different people. For some this car hits a note, for others, its an abomination. But its also priced less than the price of a house, which we have seen on some of the cars in this thread.
There will ALWAYS be two kinds people on this planet...those good with money and those who are not. We literally need both to keep the economy going. Be grateful.

What is with the increase in the 72-74 Chargers? Where have they been? More 73-74 Chargers were built than the 69-70 models. Have these later ones been hidden away, owners waiting to ride the 68-70 wave of increasing value? Some guys think any REAR wheel drive Charger is a 401K on 4 wheels.

Let's say even if this 74 Charger and the current condition it is in, was a rallye package with a 4 speed and heavily optioned. It would have a better chance of fetching the $15K asking price.

I don't doubt he spent that much building it. Could have been more if he paid shops to do all the work.

Ewww!! "Looky, looky I have an appraisal from Areo Appraisals which means my 68 Charger is worth every penny of my asking price".
Get the "F" outta hear with your stupid displayed appraisal documents. Just because you spent stupid money which you thought was improving the Charger's value. But most of the buying public will deem it being destroyed with that pathetic purple theme and donk rims.
"CAR IS COMPLETE WITH BATTERY MAINTAINER AND CAR COVER"Wow what a sales pitch.

I couldn't agree more! I've been wanting a 69 for 18 years. I was 4 years old when I started watching Dukes. I wanted a charger as soon as a saw it slide around the corner. I was 10 years old in 2004 and had $200 to my name maybe. When the prices sky rocketed in 2005 I knew it would be a long long time before I could afford a decent car. I worked as much as I could to try and save money to buy one that would run so I could drive it by the time I was 16. No matter how hard I tried I never could save enough. They kept inching up in value. I was a day late and a dollar short every time I found a fair deal. Fast forward to 2012 I graduated high school and went to college that fall. I majored in Aviation as a professional pilot. It costs $60,000 to earn all of your ratings in the plane. That does not include tuition for classes. Every summer, weekend, and holiday since 10th grade I've worked to save money for college. I found a really good deal on (2) 1970 chargers summer 2015. Way too good of a deal to let pass. I had just enough money saved and I bought them and they have sat under my dads shed ever since I brought them home. Last week I graduated with my Bachelors of Science degree in Aviation. I am completely debt free. Never took out a student loan. Now I can finally start saving up to restore my charger. Hopefully these last 7 years of busting my ass will pay off.
Sorry for such a long post, but F8-4life is exactly right. It's super hard to get into this hobby in today's time when you're working your way through school or just starting out.

I like hearing stories like this one. More young teenagers need to take a page from this one. Hard work, dedication and perseverance. Student loans are the evil for the hopes of young adult men and women entering the work force. Doing it how you did you don't have that weight of the student loan gorilla on your shoulders. Good hard work and now rewarded moving forward. You're so much ahead of the "Normal" crowd and in a good position to be set for life with your way of approaching it.
Good luck to you and good luck to your 1970 Chargers. :cheers: :cheers:
Give it another 15 years. Zillions of baby-boomers will be passing out of the hobby. Their kids & grandkids will end up dumping a lot of decent-condition older restorations onto the market. That will drive down prices. The dollar figures won't come down but that's the hidden effect of inflation. The actual values will be lowering.
Granted, 2nd-gen Chargers will be some of the least/last affected by this. They have too much cred among younger people.

My question is people are ASKING these prices but are they getting them??? I just looked on Ebay for "1970 charger" haven't looked for parts for a while and was floored by what they want for parts! same question...are they getting that much for parts?

If the price was right it would not be to hard to fix. But yeah I agree this car is UGLY.
The market seems crazy right now. Delusion is the new standard for 2017 it seems.. 20k only gets you a project 2nd gen, when a couple years back it got you way more car.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/302184247694?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
This is some real bs for people trying to buy these cars.
Inflation affects it. $20k now might be $12-15k in mid-2000s dollars.
And project cars are always overpriced compared to "restored" ones. That issue is what has really gotten worse in the last 10-15 years.
I'm talking around 2010, prices then seemed on the rise but still somewhat within reason. Now it seems prices are in the twilight zone and sellers just throw out a stupid number and see what sticks.
I blame the influx f cable tv car-based shows. Haha
I have been looking for one for the last 6/7 months. I am buying another Hellcat if I do not find one soon !!! lmao
There are some out there but they are crazy about their asking price. We'll find one eventually.

If this junk is actually selling at these prices, then I'll sell both of my cars. Take the money and buy an airplane. You could buy a really good Cessna 150 for under 20k. :scratchchin:

Or this R/T 440 for $140,000?
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/cto/5927686527.html
I actually made the guy a offer a few days ago. Well, his ad said to make an offer, so I offered $37500.00.
I received two e-mails back telling me what I could do with my $37500.00. I took that as a no on a deal.
My opinion that car is worth $45-50k depending on how clean it is in person. Considering you can get a '68 426 Hemi for $140k you have to wonder where he got his research from.
Going back to this one... I'll just say I understand.
When I raced 2015 Nevada Open Road Challenge (Silver State Classic, but in May) in my '67 Charger, MSD CEO (at the time) Rick Ruebusch was there with a team entry and after seeing my car, wanted to buy it from me. He and his wife had their first date in a twin to my car and he wanted it for their anniversary as a gift to her. I was not inclined to sell, but he gave me his card anyway. When I told my wife about it later, I said, that even if I was paid a good price for the car, it woldn't be enough to replace its sentimental value to me. In my mind I would have started entertaining the thought around the 40K mark, which would have been more than market by a good shot, even for my 440/727 numbers matching, 607HP car. My wifes number was 120K. There is no logical reason for it, but that was her "that is a fair price, you can sell it" number.
Just ran across a 2000 issue of Hemmings Motor News in my storage boxes, '69 R/T Charger 426 Hemi 4 speed, '69 Daytona 440 or '70 Superbird 440 all restored and all the same asking price $34,900. Crazy how far the prices have gone.

But it has the rare eldenbrock carburetor! And only

Something was wrong with it, they flagged the ad.

I wouldn't blame him either, it's quite annoying to read stuff like that.

Okay... here is the text of it with my comments in
Boldface type.This 73 Dodge Charger 2dr coupe has been restored and rebuilt and repainted.
Restored? As in brought back to a condition exactly as it was when new? This long mean machine is painted a beautiful Candy Cinnamon that pops in the sunlight (House of Color paint) The painted ghost stripe on the hood as it tries to hide the bulge that barely contains the 440 Magnum.
Barely contains the 440 Magnum. Right. Barely contains.This Charger has 440 Magnum riller rocker cam,
Riller rocker cam? Never heard of that. MUST be pretty cool. marks pulleys, Edelbrock intake with Holley 650 4-four barrel carb, MSD ignition. This car has a 3500 stall converter and was built to get off the line! original Mopar rims with G4 street slicks in the rear. All numbers matching on this beauty-the custom upholstery in this car is a show stopper!
Custom upholstery....So it isn't actually a restoration then, right? Owners moving south and can't take her with them-If you are lloking for a show car or a drag car -look no further! open car trailer available to go with her if price is right-have over $45,000.00 in it asking $37,000.00 or B/O-open to possible trade for old pick-up truck-
How many old pickup trucks are worth $37,000? for more information call

Hey....I'm not that much into the 3rd gen Chargers, but if the guy is interested in old pickup trucks.....

Just personal taste here I guess.
But IMO, from looking at the pictures ?
he took a perfectly good '73 Charger BB Rallye Car, poop brown as it was, and
RUINED IT !And now someone is supposed to bail him out to the tune of $37K ?
Totally awesome thread!
A Moparmate buys a stripped out 70 Charger against my advice.
I explain to him in great length that 68/70 Chargers are the 'Holy grail' of Mopars and must be treated like GODS...
I told him a few years back not to buy the car as it needs everything, (but it is number match drivetrain) and resto is a MONEY-PIT.
He buys the car so my next advice was not to restomod as it will never get any resale value!
Now he has lucked into a big sum of money 'selling a house' and wants someone to do the car for him now.(that is a very tricky ask indeed)
Now reading some of this article I may have steered him wrong... :brickwall:
I've seen a restmod silver C500 and thought, sacrilege...but hey I like silver and restomod is COOLIO now??? :slap:
Restomod is the future and stock 14'' wheeled 383 SE's are just so crappy and worthless... :nana:
Regarding that 73:
There are several old trucks bringing 30-40k or more.
Broncos, some C10s, FJs, Land Cruisers, Wagoneers, and a few others.
The problem is the nicest, most perfect example of a 73-74 charger is maybe, 25-30k on a good day?
Seems like the guy is trying to recoup every cent he spent on it.
That only works if you have a very desirable car to start with, and did all the labor yourself.
He's gonna sit on that one for a while. Which is a shame. Aside from the orange/tan interior combination, I really like it.
If was a 71-72 R/T or Rallye, then yes. :2thumbs:
73-74 Chargers imo are grandma cars. :icon_smile_big:

1968 Charger R/T
Nice car but....
Wood grain console, R/T stripes misaligned, some BS special order tag in place of the fender tag(this is mentioned on the video) and list goes on and on.
You would think they would have someone knowledgeable doing the video. These A$$ Clowns don't know too much about this 68. Never mentions it's an R/T, doesn't know the gear ratio, "nice painted door edges" LMAO, brings up the fact that the so called special order tag where the fender tag should be, the driver seems uneducated about Mopar as well. These guys were handed a script and blah blah blah.

If any members are watching this car be careful. His vague description is leaving out quite a bit out. The rockers/front lower quarters are full of bondo and the rust is really starting to pop out. The paint has many deep, open, cracks, some as long as six inches. The paint is very shiny but around all the chrome it is dull and has orange peal as whoever wet sanded it did a lousy job. . . . The car was also painted with all trim on as the trim and door handles have black paint on them from poor taping job. I am fairly certain the door jambs, trunk and engine compartment were painted with cans. The paint is flat and painted right over dirt, grease, whatever left behind. The engine compartment is a disaster everything has been painted over by a can of flat black Rustoleum. My guess she will bring decent money since the description is missing quite a bit.

Plus, there is not one full photo of either side to zoom in on. WTF, only side angle shots :brickwall:
Might be interesting to see under the trunk carpet too
Steering column on this one looks kinda nasty. And nice bugs in the radiator!
Something about the right (passenger) side of the grille just doesn't look right to me either :shruggy: I'm not sure if it's the camera angle, lighting or what? Maybe nothing is wrong at all.
(http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/pAQAAOSwqM1Ymzyy/s-l500.jpg)
Is it not just the light door not fully shut???
EDIT.....Oops....your passenger side is different to mine!!
I have come to realize $30 to $40 thousand is just not going to buy you a good, solid car. Or, if you happen to find one you better be standing next to it with cash in hand as it goes up for sale. As much as I would like another car it just seems the prices are heading for more than I am willing to pay for a "toy".
Example below. Painted just a year ago and several rust spots popping through on the quarters already. Not surprised really as anyone can see the quarters are a mess. At least the bad quarters help detract for the horrible interior/dash. And it can be your for at least $41000.00. :o

General Lees are a different ballgame. I have seen about a 10k premium on them. So a 30k charger sells for 40k if it has orange paint and decals.

What the hell did they do with the valence corners?? And why is the engine bay and trunk floor black? Quarter body lines are terrible.......
Don't need to be a mopar expert like some on here to pick this one apart.
And whys the front bumper black.. wheres the bullbar too?
Hard to believe that $40000 gets a car in that shape wtf is going on.Thats $50000 Canadian.
I am not really sure what to make of this. This is the car I mentioned up above I could have had a few months ago for $27 and passed.

On the black 383 car 1 person bid 25 times in less than 2 hours driving the price from $38,500 to $50,900 then another person bid so that one looks fake. The General looks more like legit bids.

not aiming this comment about these particular cars , although it may or not maybe the case , i'm always trolling the internet looking for chargers & mopar stuff , I see a lot of these chargers , that supposedly sell for big money on ebay , turn up on some other obscure on line car selling site , days / weeks later , for a reduced amount ,( & they are not scams we see now & again ) although sometime higher .... with the same pictures & dare say the same person/persons selling it ....... :yesnod: :shruggy:

Which one?
The General is easy, the quarters are not even close to the correct shape plus the valance corners are mudded in.
That General looks like it was slammed together just to sell it. Probably shill bidding involved. See if it goes up again in a few months.
Never seen a corner valance like that before.Must have been a non mopar guy who put that thing together.

Think this one may have been on the thread previously but thought I would share
Great car, 67 Hemi Charger which i believe was restored by RK Motors. Based on other first generation hemi sales, suspect the car is worth at most half the list price, probably a little less. But if you have $250K it can be yours
Two days ago when he listed the car, he had a Buy It Now of $115,000.00. Now he is down to $95,000.00. At this rate, in another three weeks, the car may be a decent buy. ;)

And yea WTF is with the trailer pics?? Is that really going to help the sale of the car??
And I don't need to read about what project you need to focus on next and what trophies you've won just because you have to sell your over priced Frankenstein Charger.

At that price you would think so, but I found this in the payment section of the ad:
Pay Cash or have it financed thru your bank...I will work close with your banker. Buyer is responsible for Pickup or Shipping...28 foot enclosed trailer is also for sale.... It does not come with Car for sale (the car is in it now) buy Both and pull Both Home...Trailer $10,000.00....(extra)...So the trailer is a little extra.

It's hard enough getting enough of your money back on a quality restoration, but it's always more of a financial blood bath on customized cars, no matter the make. This is not a knock on the silver 70 Charger, rather it's just reality. Personally, I like the drivetrain, suspension and interior, but deviating from the stock exterior is not my cup of tea.
Good luck with the sale.
Whether you're 'delusional' will depend on what the reserve is.
....and I was just about to buy that restomod grey 70.....when I noticed the iconic fuel filler delete.....killed it for me! LOL! Somethings (namely the classic Charger parts, tail light shape, silhouette, fenders, hood, instruments and fuel filler) just cannot be improved upon!. Just my opinion of course...YMMV. Other than that its a great car....and I'm not the No1 fan of 70s. Values on something that has been built to one mans taste will always be inflated by the seller imo.....as he's the only person (probably) who will like everything about it.....it will be a compromise for anyone else. I'm going to be in the same boat...a car built to my tastes.....(but with none of the aforementioned parts changed....well, apart from hole in hood!!)......that will not have a HUGE value to anyone except me....but since I'm keeping it forever I don't care. Would be doing a very different build if I had plans to sell after completion. The 70 is already above what I would pay.....will be interesting to see how high it goes and whether she makes reserve.
Great car, but I don't know why you would remove the awesome stock taillights and put in those Challenger lights. The originals were awesome and now you have old style Challenger tail lights. Car is new but already looks dated.

[/quote] However 100k PLUS, for this ? :brickwall:
Fiat 6.1 does nothing for me.
Fixed it for you Korndog. :nana:
I appreciate the craftsmanship in that charcoal gray 70 Charger. The 100K price is a scary number but considering it a checkbook car NOT built by an enthusiast in his own garage, you can probably understand the higher price tag.
If I recall, the asking price was ~ 3x this.
Granted this is not a Charger but I use it to illustrate my point. This car was priced at about $45K for many weeks on craigslist, even until a month ago. (I was tempted but my first choice is a '69 or '70 Charger.) http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Dodge-Coronet-RT-Hardtop-/322445208687?hash=item4b133b6c6f:g:A9AAAOSw4A5Yvx~E&vxp=mtr
My point being when these cars are a plaything for the rich or flippers, many real enthusiasts can't consider such cars. They lose some of their allure and magic as they become jewells to be traded amongst investors. Of course for many owners it's good that the values are going up on their cars. But to me the hobby loses something each time a car is a soulless transaction one day appearing a few days later at a 75% mark up.
Even if it doesn't sell at the inflated price, it hurts the hobby I think. I know the free market dictates etc. but when taken to extremes I feel it affects the industry. I for one know less "real" guys driving these cars and "speculators" owning these cars more and more. To some not a bad thing, to me I'd rather talk car talk with an enthusiast vs. an investor.
This is why this thread is one of my favourites, it offers real car people's (Charger people) thoughts and intelligent opinions on delusional priced Chargers. You represent the heart and soul of the hobby.

Example:
Say you had a diversified portfolio on the DOW Index basically 4 years ago in January 2013, of say $100,000.
It was your life savings, and you were DAMN GLAD to have seen the DOW index come back by 2013 to
12,500(after some terrifying losses in 2008)
Now,
It's 4 years later, and the DOW is at
21,000 ?Stock Markets are in BUBBLE territory, setting new Records MONTHLY once again without any REAL fundamentals to support the increases ?
U.S. Trade Deficit last month was $48.6 Billion, another new Monthly record.
U.S. Debt is still skyrocketing without even an inkling of slowing for the foreseeable future... what now ? $19-20 trillion ?
and,
interest rates are still in historical "emergency" territory(even if the Fed raises next week) 10 years post 2008, the last time you got crushed ?
Your $100K from 4 years ago is now
$160,000 ?WHY WOULDN'T YOU "DIVERSIFY", TAKE YOUR $60k AND GO PUT IT INTO ANYTHING ELSE AS A "HEDGE" ?Figure it out....
It's NOT that the Cars are now worth more... it's the future value of the Notes they are denominated in that is becoming suspect = hence, "investors" are simply looking for diversity in
anything that may potentially hold relative future valuation = collectibles.
IMO, the Cars are NOT worth more.... it is the regular "hourly" guys hoping to buy them that are very simply being de-valued.

[/quote]
This is a good way to see it. The regular guys wages are being devalued.
If this car sells at asking, its a 75% increase in basically a month. No wage can keep up. It would be good to know how many of the Chargers in this delusional price thread actually sell for those prices.
Aside from collectible VINs (different topic entirely), these cars are not worth any more than the cost of building another one like it. So IMO it's hard to see them as being inflated.
Muscle cars were cheaper during the first 20-30 years they existed because the factory had mass produced them in gigantic numbers. That's the only thing that ever really makes any car cheap. When something has to be supported by the car-guy market alone, we get the current situation with reproduction parts.
The most popular few muscle cars like '67 Mustangs and '69 Camaros are basically back in production today. You can order practically the whole car from a catalog. That used to be a joke but now it's pretty much a fact. A whole new repro car costs six figures (in turn-key form) because it can't be done any cheaper, not because collectors are jacking up the prices on any step in the process.

That is a neat car, but considering the car is worth maybe 120-130 large with a complete rotisserie restoration, and it will take 75 large to get it to that level, I'd say that this seller definitely qualifies as a delusional seller. :2thumbs:

I looked at the pictures and discription several times and am left thinking- :scratchchin:.
When does a car need just a thorough cleaning and detailing? As opposed to a complete "remake" of the car?
Would this car do better in the collector market as a jewel from 1968 that everyone knows is a 2017 issue?
If I had it --I would spend many hours cleaning it with care before I might take it back to the bone and start over.
Either way the asking price is high enough that It stops any conversation with me.

I think the seller should have washed the car, or at least attempted to present it better - and if not ready with other pics, wait a week on the ad. I mean, they are the original owners, right? :Twocents:
they had a good investment $4500 car now $87500
Cool car, I love the Q5. A year ago this guy would have been laughed out of town with just a third of his asking price. Now I see a flipper buying this and tacking on 20 grand.
87,500$ canadian is about 65,000$ USD... not horrible for an all original car...

The same argument says we shouldn't be restoring the "decent" projects, either. If you value your skilled man-hours & enthusiasm & garage space at all, then pretty much anything besides a rare numbers car is a money loser.

Good luck selling that car for 13K w/o a title and rotted frame rails.
It amazes me more every year that we still don't have a whole reproduction 68-70 Charger unibody.
I'll bet the smart executives at AMD are looking at it. The Dynacorn Challenger seems to have been a dud but the Charger seems to be gaining and gaining all the time.
How much would an enthusiast pay for a 68-70 Charger body with 0 miles, brand new metal, dang near ready for paint ???
Me? Not a lot. That's a kit car....not a Charger....IMO. A lot of patching and repairs in mine (might need one rear fender depending how it goes....but trying to avoid). I know its been debated a lot on here...but a 1969 Charger (or whatever year) needs to have most of the body from 1969 to be a 1969 Charger. Anything else is a simile of one.
Yeah, but how many would care?
The mega dollar shops that throw $200,000 to build one would start with a clean canvas.
The movie studios would have more to blow up.
The East Coast guys would not have to spend $10,000 just in parts, THEN have to either pay some shop to replace every rotten panel OR fumble his own way through.
It may never happen but it is an interesting thought.
The debate about whether repro bodies are 'right' or 'wrong' . . . meh. That ship has sailed. The industry is cranking out multiple different old cars & trucks now. It's not even a big story anymore when they announce another new one.
I fail to understand why the hobby always rates E-bodies as more desirable than the 68-70 Charger. IMO that has never been the public's feeling.

I agree. Especially since the new retro Challengers came out. They aped most of the good style points of the original, and skipped a few of the bad. Strange to say, but ever since the new ones came out, the older ones haven't looked as good to me. At least to my eye......

I would venture to say that the new Challengers have given the 70-74's a new lease on life and desirability. If FCA would completely redesign the charger to look more like the 68-70's then that would raise the desireability and demand for the dynacorn "kit" cars, in my opinion accourse.

I'm so glad I was able to buy some 68/69 Chargers back in the late 80's.
They weren't cheap, but hey, at least you could drive them...
A 68 383 auto for £3500, a 68 R/T for £4500 and a 69 R/T for £5500 from a UK dealer
Those were the GOOD OLD days indeed! :2thumbs:
The 69 R/T was in fact, shipped back to the USA back in the late 90's, by Sunshine Classics UK.
A fine car indeed and very famous in the UK, reg no. LFN 7.
Fastest street car I ever drove, she would go 'OFF the CLOCK', yep a 150mph CLOCK!!!

Just remembered, I sold the 68 R/T to a friend in 1990 and he still has her.

Charger with a Durango frame....really
https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/cto/6051271144.html
68 Charger General Lee restomod - $44000
"This thing is a few steps away from being a show stopper. Titled as a 68 charger F yeah. Truley a one of a kind, but you know that already. Shes sitting on a durango frame and it retains all the newer amenities and 4x4 wtf yes its a 4x4. She has the small block V8 and is waiting for a big power swap. Deck lid signed by the original cast and the horn even plays the iconic tune. Im looking for cash or maybe one badass elenor clone. If you had some cash and a nice cobra or saleen fox body lets talk."
That Durango/GL has been around a while. It shows up on Ebay again every few years. Always an unrealistic number. I dunno if it has ever actually changed hands.
Those make me cringe. I loved the Dukes of Hazzard but the 4wd General Lee abominations are terrible.
There actually was a Dukes episode where they put big tires on the General to take it off road. Doesn't make this right though.
4x4 muscle cars are their own topic. Lots of older ones are left around.
I think it's like one of Finnegan & Frieburger's Roadkill ideas. Fun to build, fun to goof around with at first . . . but the end result never justifies the parts & resources used on it.

What always surprises me is these people who can sink over 100 grand into a toy yet still cannot use proper grammar and punctuation. What kind of job are they doing that does not require these very basic skills yet they get paid this much? :lol:
Yes. It confuses me too.
On that same note, I'm always amazed that the type of person who would actually want a 4wd General Lee is capable of coming up with the 40 grand this thing is always advertised at.
How many rednecks with that kind of cash sitting around can there be?

QuoteMany. Weed money, meth money.
Not really.
Dealing drugs is just like any other business. It's been studied. A tiny handful of guys are wealthy at the top. The vast majority are making burger-flipping wages.
If you really want to be a wealthy idiot then choose your parents better. You're usually better off being the stupid one in a wealthy family than the smart one in a poor family.

I'm trying to figure out this mess.
Does it need a quarter and the door, fender and hood
are repairable?
Does it need a quarter, door, fender and hood

Can you mix in a G Damn period here and there? :brickwall:
Yea I know you can refer back to the pictures to make any sense of the seller's bad grammar but you shouldn't have to.
BTW that price is delusional.
Look at the dash, car was hit very hard :rotz:

Collision damage chases off more buyers than rust. I'm not sure why.

If I recall the original criteria per the OP was cars priced at least 2X their value. This one looks to be 3 to 4 times the market value
That's overpriced for a 2nd-gen, let alone what he's got.

The seller listed it for $15,000 or Best Offer. As ebay is prone to do (to save programing cost) they under program their site. One of these instances is when a seller accepts a best offer, ebay will still display the original asking price when viewing the completed auction. It can be tough to discern if the item sold for the original asking price or if it sold cheaper at a best offer.
Thankfully there is a website where you can punch in the ebay item # and it will tell you the actual selling price. When I punched in the ebay item # for this car, it came back at $13,000
It will also show any offers submitted. In this instance, someone offered the seller $8,000 and someone offered him $1,500. There are nuances to this but it gives you a good idea.

Car looks well done, despite the obvious non stock touches. A lot of money for a stripper made to emulate an R/T, though. Mine has a lot of the same period correct-ish touches, but I'd never dream of trying to get that kind of money out of it. But I'd like to!
That's an interesting twist on the dash that I've never seen done yet. It looks like they Hydro-dipped the woodgrain onto a base (textured) panel. I don't think it looks great, but an interesting concept non the less. :Twocents:

I bought mine in 2000 for $1700 and used it for my work vehicle 130 miles round trip a day. I carried saws, power cords, tool belt and misc hand tools. I really got in before the prices blew up.

I had a 70 silver Charger 500 in So. Cali back in 87. The engine wiring was a huge problem. In hindsight, I should have found a donor B body wiring and just replaced it. I ended up selling it dirt cheap. :brickwall:

Maybe the spelling is correct - like the body file they use when the filler is 1" thick! Had to fill in the rear valence corners somehow. :rofl: :rofl:

I am in Canada, and very rural to be exact, so admittedly here.... I live probably a somewhat sheltered life ?
Nonetheless,
Flipping on the remote one day I stumbled on to something called the "Jerry Springer Show", so I stopped and watched for a few minutes out of curiosity ?
For the life of me.....
I could NOT understand the "English" ? language ? the "guests" were speaking ? Even WITH my hearing aid turned UP ?
But thank goodness for the constant arm/hand/finger gestures as punctuation, (before the ensuing fisticuffs), wherein I gathered..... there was some very agitated contention around what I assumed were "parental" responsibilities ?
"Hoh-dah-diddy".... or thereabouts ?
with severe connotations of potentially inappropriate conduct ? by one apparently already betrothed male guest as the "bibeediddee" ? of not one...... but 3 females offspring ?
Initially I assumed this could be some form of communal marital arrangement ?
Nonetheless,
that assumption was subsequently disavowed between the 3 females by constant assertions(with raised open hand to each other's faces).... "u-dunno-me-Ho".... punctuated by referencing(what I assume) are some type of "footwear" appointments ("boot-ee-calls") by the male guest ?
Feeling then somewhat frustrated in my understanding of modern urban American lifestyles ?
I then continued flipping the remote.....
dejected as I was, that I will never understand how "footwear" appointments.... with each other's gardening implements(Ho's ?) you apparently do NOT know..... can result in extended "family" connotations.... then denied under normal parental responsibility ?

Do urban American's still engage in traditional "Family" Christmas get together's ? and given the above, how are these "Inventoried" for accuracy ?

Don't know if this qualifies for the thread but you guys tell me what you think.
I have talked to the seller(nice guy)and told me this is the only one for sale in the UK and big block mustangs go for 40+k,pound sterling,so he thinks his price is fair.Told him I'm building a '68 true 4 speed r/t with dana60 and told me he wouldn't let that one go less than 60k,not that I'll ever want to sell mine.
So what do you think about this one?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1968-DODGE-CHARGER-440-R-T-AUTO-/152469511471?hash=item237fe41d2f:g:VJ4AAOSwqBJXUnqU
It's about par on price for the UK....but, due to how long it's been on sale, I'm guessing it does not look so good in real life.
At $5,500.00, this guy is highly delusional.

A different sort of delusional (price does seem high as well $27K and reserve not met). The seller, a dealer no less, says they are selling a 66 Charger RT
Excerpt from the Listing
Up for sale we have a 1966 Dodge Charger RT. This Charger has had a nice resto done with many upgrades to the engine and brakes. In the paragraphs to follow we will give a brief description of the exterior, interior, and driveline of the Dodge, but first we would like to tell you a little about us.
Smoky Mountain Traders is a classic car dealer in east Tennessee.
Everything is covered in the White Body Color that is accented by the Black RT stripe. Inside the door jams, trunk, and under the hood the paint all looks well done. The bumpers have been replaced along with other chrome. As for the tail light assembly the lens looks like new. The grill up front looks good as well and all the glass is in great shape with like new seals. To finish off the look it's sitting on a set of 17" American Racing wheels with the gray inserts.
Next, we will take a look at the interior of the RT.
She even makes that car look good.

If that thing sells which I know it wont, I'm putting a charger on ebay that's in better shape so I can take that same money and buy one even better

1974 Charger of any sort (base, SE, rallye, Spring Special) and 30K+ does not make a good combo. This one isn't even close. Equipped with cruise control but not hooked up, power windows with GM switches, sun roof car that got the sun roof hole patched up, front lower door panels cut for speakers, etc.
Even if this '74 Charger SE was restored to original condition with all factory options functional, it still wouldn't bring 30K.
But he states.......
"1974 Dodge Charger SE numbers matching car. This car is the muscle car that you are looking for. You can't find many Mopars in this condition. Back in the day they crushed a lot of these cars, so to find one like this is rare. OK now for the good stuff. This is a numbers matching car. When it was born it came with a power sunroof but the guy that had it before me took it out but the patch job is perfect. It was also born with power disc brakes, AC, power windows, power steering, 400 engine and cruise control. All is still working except the cruise, I just haven't hooked it back up. If you want I can even sell the original wheels that came with it. This is a deal at $32,000 OBO , Just give me a call or email me, please NO TEXTS. Clear title"
THis is THE muscle car that you are looking for.
No specifics on the engine, trans, axle gearing but this guy wants the bag of money?
Uhhh....Cars are never BORN with anything. They are built. No heartbeat, no birth. :2thumbs:
Here's another one. This time 1967. Try not to fall off your chair.

100% professionally done!! You could not find the car and do the restoration for what you can purchase this car for.
For $100 000 I think I could find one and build it for a lot less :brickwall:
He means "You could not pay somebody else to build the whole thing and try to flip it for $________ in profit any cheaper than this."
i guess that means that the average guy can never afford to own a restored charger...dang, life sucks for me

the stock gauges are nice looking and would of fit the car better than those autometer ones for sure
70 Charger SPORT ? Where would anyone come up with that title? No Charger that I have ever heard of had that name. It looks like an XH since it has the blank where the tachometer normally is and it has no tail panel trim piece.

Pity, IMO, the gauges in the first gen Chargers are the high water mark.
There just isn't a ton of demand for 1st-gen Chargers in general.
It's not fair to those cars. There are other cars with bigger fanbases that aren't as cool.
The mounting of the Shaker bubble looks amateurish.

1st generation original hemi car for $250k back again on eBay which is a very, very nice car but a candidate for this thread priced at more than 2X sales price (original criteria)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Dodge-Charger-/192173639609?hash=item2cbe7107b9:g:hAMAAOSwsW9YyAPM&vxp=mtr
maybe seller is smarter than originally thought. The $250k listing did prompt me to look at some of the other listings which include seemingly a pretty good deal on 2016 challenger, 5.7L 6 speed shaker hood for $35.5k
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-Dodge-Challenger-2dr-Cpe-R-T-Shaker/201619022897
That is a SUPER nice Charger though!!!!!!!!
Look at the rear tires, how the hell did you get ANY traction with that HEMI under the hood!!!!!
I never had $250 grand to spend on a car, and even though that car is so SWEET, I would have to pass, and get a Daytona.(If I was spending $250K on a set of wheels)
I think you are correct on the cars value.

Seller could have made a little more effort to provide some pictures. Even money the headlight motors do not work
I am curious if it was the Hall of Fame mechanical team who chose to run mis-matched tires? Or install a bent grill?

Man, with 20 years to do this resto, you think his team could get the CRINKLE out of his Mopar wrinkle finish valve covers.LOL
Maybe the crinkle in the valve cover was forged in a forge and that's why it can't be removed?
So does that mean his pistons are fake? Cause they are FORGED forged pistons?
Dam forgery artist at it again.

Yep, the higher the price is, the crappier the positive battery terminal is.
In the Craigslist title the seller puts "ALL ORIGINAL" in caps. I didn't know that Chrysler offered a chrome air cleaner for the 318 option.

QuoteJeez, if thats the case i feel pretty good about my junkyard charger Shocked
Well, it's a real '70 R/T, it's more complete than many crap shells for sale nowadays, and it's being sold on Ebay. All those factors are prone to driving up the price. I doubt a 318 body in a local paper would bring that much.

"In the Craigslist title the seller puts "ALL ORIGINAL" in caps."
Sure is other than the electronic ignition, headers, intake, carb, valve covers, air cleaner, battery hold downs, and my personal favorite-the steel L channel throttle return spring holder. Oh and the extra firewall hole, fuel filter, coil and plug wires. Dang, this thing is just like it left the factory.
:iagree:
For $55,000, Please buy the $15 buck battery hold down.
I have used that Walmart one before, on my lawn tractor.
The Car looks ok, the delco battery HURTS, more then the hold down bolts and vaccum can zip tied in place.
What is that thing with the two knobs on it mounted to bottom of dash above the console, next to shifter?
Is it a cassette or 8-Track player???

I need an RT emblem for my 69 coronet trunk lid. Think I will contact him with that and see what he comes up with. :lol:
I'd expect that price for a Duesenberg emblem, but not for a Dodge. :P

Looks like another seller who thinks money invested equals sales price. Given the work performed on the car, suspect they may have actually spent somewhere around the selling price. Not sure that means anyone would pay one half that price.

I dislike the hood very much, though.
That thing was in a bunch of magazines a few years ago. It was painted bright green at the time.

Fixed.
I don't even know if we should consider that a 68 Charger anymore.
I really like modded Chargers......but that has had way too many body mods for even my liking and lost too many of the original lines. Looks like he widened the fenders...which is fine....but then realised that they were not quite wide enough for the wheel/tyre combo he had....so did those horrible flaired out fender lips....worse part of car imo...looks real amateur . The hood comes a VERY close second though!!! Cant see anyone would pay more for that than a good resto .....or even a good restomod without so much panel mutilation!
That said ...I'm loving the colour, bumpers and especially the throttle body injection.

The lowering job & fender flaring would make it perfect for a streetable replica NASCAR. It already has a 4spd too.

In other words, even if there's nothing left of a Dodge Charger but scrap metal, said scrap metal is so sacred that it should be save just in case someone wants to turn it into a Bobby Issac Daytona clone or the next George Barris custom, even if no one wants to do it. I got it now. :2thumbs:

Look at pics of a junkyard in about 1983. The majority of those cars with desirable bodystyles would get restored if they were still around in that shape now. The majority.

I know you're being sarcastic, but, yes, exactly. Say if I wanted to rebody a tube frame stock car chassis with a 2nd gen body for track day use. Like this:

I would say that there is a small minority of people (in comparison to the car hobby as a whole) who are into building the roundy round stuff scavenging whatever sheetmetal they can off of 40-50 year old wrecks, but I do see the point for your application only. In that case only, who cares about using anything but junk sheetmetal. That all being said, even you didn't have the heart to do that to a Charger.
That is a great starting point for someone who wants the satisfaction of building a car form a pile. I like having nice cars, but when they are done...all there is to do is wash them....and I hate washing cars. Its a little crazy but I want to take a car completely apart..... I mean every weld... fix every panel, and see if I can get it back together again. I can see that in this car...

From some of the other cars that have sold in worse condition, given it's a real R/T (didn't see a VIN to prove it) that price isn't that bad actually. As it has been stated many times, the costs are about the same to bring this one back vs. a non R/T. But for lots of guys that take on a project like this, investment isn't usually what is driving them.

I would have snapped that up at that price in the UK...cars like that sell for double that or more here...supply and demand. Not really a fit car for this thread imo.
That car is a turd from the back 40. The only thing worth any $$ on that wreck is interior peices, grill, doors & possibly some misc. trinkets...
Barely worth 2k, the only reason its at 5k is the seller is putting good value on the vin/title, but the car is roasted so it would be a rebody anyhow.

That price seems within the line of market value these days.
Whether it's a financially smart move to restore it? Totally different issue.

In other words, even if there's nothing left of a Dodge Charger but scrap metal, said scrap metal is so sacred that it should be save just in case someone wants to turn it into a Bobby Issac Daytona clone or the next George Barris custom, even if no one wants to do it. I got it now. :2thumbs:
I know you're being sarcastic, but, yes, exactly. Say if I wanted to rebody a tube frame stock car chassis with a 2nd gen body for track day use. Like this:

Now, would you prefer I cut up a mint example, (like your 68) or would you prefer I use the wrecked and rusted hulk of that 70 that diehard chalk mark restoration guys such as yourself would otherwise send to the crusher?
I don't understand how any car guy couldn't see the potential in that shell.

As you said crappy sideways pics. What this punk did was take vertical pics with his phone (so annoying) and turned them sideways to fill the screen.
This seller has the audacity to ask 72.5K w/o detailed info or w/o quality detailed pics for a 68 Charger non R/T ?

There is so much wrong with this car and too little right for the car to be worth 72k. It would be worth 25 to 27k as it sets with all the stuff wrong that needs to be addressed. Damn seeing these sorts of posts are getting more frequent.
Luckily there's a real nice 1968 charger on fleabay located in Canada that is going for a more realistic price.
love those little charger cutouts didn't Norman the German in another thread want some charger cut outs

Oh where do I begin on this one. :smilielol: :smilielol:
If you have a ton of extra parts then get off your lazy AZZ and post pics of said parts. And while you're at it post more than 2 pics of your over priced 1969 half Charger. Rust free?? How you say?? LMAO.
"383 auto with bolt one." What the hell does that mean??
"Touch to list." Don't you mean "Too much to list." :smilielol:
I bet you that this lazy AZZ went out to take 2 pics of the Charger with his phone and then used the same phone to post it on CL using speak-to-text for his write up and didn't edit the speak-to-text corrections.
Looks like some "parts" in the Charmin box & some "stuff" in the others.
And it looks like that fellow is just about done picking the rust off of it...

You bet he did, check out his phone number, the 0's are o's, classic speak-to-text indicator, and i bet those "boxes of trim" are bent to sh!t and as rusted as the car. I bet you can talk him down to $500 if you offer to take the mismatched seats and rat nests.

Yeah, I thought someting was looking funny there. Didn't Chargers all have rallye dashes?
Granny must have been a tough rebuild..... ::)
Must have meant "383 rebuilt with tranny"
but maybe it was a 'granny and grandson project' out by the shop to rebuild that 383.
Is that a Plymouth Dash and gauge setup? No 68-70 Charger ever came with a dash like that one. The seller is terribly misinformed as well. The 1970 Charger 500 was not a limited edition of 500 cars. Dodge would have built 50,000 of them if the market wanted that many. 40 with an automatic?
Someone kick this guy in the dick, fast. :hah:

It's like the builder was intentionally looking for the worst possible things to crash together. The GL pushbar & paint slashes . . . the yellow paint in too many places . . . the too-big Daytona wing . . . '56 Ford dashboard . . . hood cutout & air cleaner . . . goofy rear bumper shaping . . . and then modern wheels & tires, just to make sure the car doesn't work as a legit 1993 time-capsule, either . . .

I agree with everything you said there....the dash is particularly horrid. If your are going to transplant a dash into a car then why not choose a car that actually had a nice dash in the first place. The angle of the intake through the hood is all wrong to imo...but that's the least of that poor cars worries! :hah:

On the upside for a substantial discount based on what you would have to do to make it right there is nothing there that could not be easily undone....well the interior would be a challenge. Hence my suggestion to the seller to consider a steep price cut.

Okay, not that I've ever had to defend any of my posts, due to me being a perfect angel in all aspects, of course...(LOL) but regarding your thought, yes, I do see a greenish hue on the wheel on my home monitor. ;) However, I would guess it's probably due to the camera or flash.

"It is way over the top but I was restoring this car for myself and my labor is free. I am a 30 year veteran restoration specialist."Without seeing it in person, I'm not going to question the body and paint work, but if he did this all himself, there is absolutely no way that he has over 100 grand into this car. This guy has an inflated ego and an over-inflated sense of what this car is worth.

Aftermarket chevy style master cylinder and booster!!! If it was a true R/T wouldn't it already have disc brakes and a factory power booster and master cylinder??
I am not sure myself what is and isn't correct on these cars even tho I have had mine for 18 years but mine was all threw together and I did what I could to make it look somewhat back like it's supposed to look.

No, RT came standard with the larger drums but both power and front disc were still optional.

$50.00 sure sign me up. I wish you were the owner of this car and was selling it for $50.00. At that price I would buy it in a heart beat. There's 2k worth of parts there if you're patient.
$2000 parts for $ 5000 what a deal.

Brand new coiled up fuel line going to the carb so it likely runs (318 though)....even the firewall is rusted through...not good.

$110,000 claimed to be invested. It certainly was not spent on the wiring, firewall, and engine bay. :down:
For that money you'd think it would have functional A/C and a big block. :shruggy:
....yes....and terrible photos for such an expensive (no doubt over priced) car. Not one of then is anywhere close to light enough to really see anything. Ruined a good car as far as I'm concerned. I like restomods but that one has not been done nicely IMO....especially interior and the stupid sound system. It needs a big block to pull all the bondo around where the rear bumper should be! And as for that very poor effort of a consul around the shifter..lol...my eight year old could do better.

What's funny is that I heard about this car a while back and called the owner, who told me it was a 1968 Charger. He wanted $25K and it sounded so cobbled together that I didn't even bother going to look at it. When I called the number from the listing, the phone number was saved in my phone so I know it's the same car. The guy who helped the seller get the car running told me the car was a disaster and that he wanted nothing to do with the "restoration". He said the work done to the body was terrible and needed redone. Stuff like trunk flor pans just screwed in place, patches done terribly, etc.

Description
1969 Dodge Charger. ***NO TRADES/LOW BALL OFFERS/TEST PILOTS. If you're truly interested in buying, then contact me, other wise please don't. This is a highly desirable car and will sell quick.
Fresh 727 transmission and 3:73 gears. Everything rebuilt using the best materials. Upgraded front disc brakes. All new ignition system, fuel tank, and rebuild of pickup, filler neck, and lines blown out. Lots of other odds and ends.
The car is not perfect, and the price reflects that. The paint is over 20 years old, but shows well. There's damage to the passenger quarter panel from a golf cart hitting it shortly after it was painted, and there is bondo under the lip of both hood and trunk deck. The interior is near mint, aside from 1 mark on the dash. The drive train is rebuilt from the tranny back. The engine block is a 1965 361. The engine runs great, but I feel a period 440 would add to the car.
Car starts, runs, drives and is ready to go.
I usually don't comment on these because of lack of knowledge. BUT, 40K for a car with an old 361. What is a 361? I don't think I ever heard of one :shruggy: And 40K! Wow!

Would be nice of the seller to back the car out of the garage so you could actually see the car a little better

Big Block Chrysler motor. Popular in the late 50's early 60's.
I really wanted to ask seller what he thought his car might be worth if it had a fresh paint job , a 440 in it and not a 361 and no dent in the side from a golf cart :poke:

It's one thing if you gonna sell it again,but I never sink money in a car without having it officially mine.
I've seen people spend a pile on a a car then go to license it and find out there is a problem with the title.
I must have been "stupid lucky"
I have bought and sold multiple cars that stayed in a previous owners name up until I was done with the car and ready to sell it.
I'm talking big projects with engine/trans/body and paint/interior...

I think that is what people are paying, crazy. Try to explain that to a GM guy and watch them scratch their heads.
That could be a dream car for some people. B5 blue, and an R/T......
That being said, complete interiors aren't cheap. On the plus side, if all it needs are quarters, trunk pan and wheel houses, it's not that bad(cant really tell all it needs from the pics). But if that's all it needs, its a cheaper starting point than one that needs all those pieces, but with shinier paint over it all for 30K. :shruggy:

It was comparable to this one slightly worse in some areas. Paid $5k in 2008. I guess times have changed as everyone thought i was crazy to pay that price then. $20k later its rust free on a rotisserie with first bit of paint. Only took 8 years lol

After 100,000 previous ads for Mopars no one ever advertised a Hemi TF. How would the delusional seller even know what was inside his trans?

To me, this looks like the best of the lot but... need pics of the usual rust spots. Rear window, lower quarters, frame, trunk floor,ect. Probably still needs a lot of work to be worth 27k but maybe that's what a car, like this, goes for nowadays. :shruggy:
Yea for me that blue 68 is like a 15-17k car but with all the $$ people have in cali he will probably get near 27k.

Curious to see the final price on this one. Looks pretty solid, and the black with red interior will look killer when done. The $15K price it's up to already seems reasonable enough..... so far.
Looks like the auction has ended

Honestly - the guy doesn't seem to be too far off... "restored" doesnt mean the same thing to some people - look on ebay and see pro-touring cars for $200K and he isn't exactly wrong from a simpleton standpoint.
"Very rare" - well not exactly as it seem to be a base model - but was V21 available on a base model Charger? granted the owner probably is just saying its "rare" to try and sell... Honestly, Owings isnt too far from me - If its still around maybe I should go look at it.
49 large for this bondo bucket? I don't think so.

Might be the pic, but the emblem looks way crooked.
I'm a little conflicted on this one. I think it's, actually, a fairly nice car. You never really know about the filler till you test it out but it does have nice lines. A good driver quality car.
Now the "but". I can see a lot of alignment issues, something wrong with the rear bumper and bumperetts. Interior is nice looking so I wonder about dyed vinyl. All together a nice car but for $49K???? If this sells for that, then more power to them because the price of my car just went up by $10K.
Is this what the current market gets??
It looks quite bubbly in front of rear tire... :Twocents:
I'm sure Mr Binsdirti is correct.....the lines and edges if that rear fender are all wrong....theres a LOT of filler in there (we don't have bondo....in fact I had no idea what you guys were talking about when I started on here!!! LOL)....
The condition of the fender tag makes me wonder what they started with.

Wow!!! What a load of crap from this seller.
Where do I start lol.
"These cars are disappearing from the market". Uh no, there's a SH!T ton of 68-69-70 Chargers for sale at any given time. Yes they may be over priced but available for sale.
"The chance you find another deal like this is slim to none". Pretty sure there's much more better deals out there than the one you represent here.
"The car is pretty solid". And
"The package tray and trunk need to be replaced". Trunk needs replaced? Meaning the trunk floor? But the car is solid?
:blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah:
Boy I bet this seller would be a treat to inquire about the Charger.
Some people need a harsh "bitch slap" of reality. :slap:
:icon_smile_question:what part about that car is a deal

Yes, agreed. I thought some delusional
purchaser would have shown up with something from this topic, all happy and excited. Then the reality would unfold, the financial realization of a Charger, the disappointment of sub-standard reproduction parts, etc, etc.
I had to half a Charger once. So I bought a whole one and sawed in two and then I had two halfs and no longer need to have a half only.

Waiting for Vegascharger to circle "it"... :popcrn:
We all know as realistic buyers who are everyday people...these cars are like 10-15k projects if they hold some quality. (talking xp cars, maybe auto Xs examples)
With the internet phenomenon and overseas buyers, combined with people with too much $$ who like to spend it etc, the price jumps from 15 asking to 20k low end because of pent up overall demand. Sellers see this and think a realized sale at 20 yesterday means I can fish at 25k today, and start off with a padded price of 30k in regard for negation tactics.
So my mopar freinds, this is how a 10k sale based in yesterdays reality turns into a very expensive delusion.
30k delusion for the 10k group of guys and the original 10k buyers turns into a cheap lowball delusion for the seller.
And while this relates to the market on any car, with 2nd gen chargers it turns into a churning tornado of high test factors because of the inherent beauty and desirability.
Food for thought

I can't imagine what I would try to do with this car. Non-mopar frame, so how is it set up for suspension (I know it talks the Corvette thing but still....) Two engines, one sounds like a smogger and one an RV engine so both need a fair amount of work, plus the basic car body has all the usual rust problems. :shruggy: :shruggy: :shruggy:

I get the impression that seller is using "pro touring" as a buzz word. Like a keyword list in a Craiglist search.
Definitely nothing "pro touring" about the stock suspension, drum brakes, and the skinny, blingy wheels.
I'd guess it still has the small block torsion bars under it. They put in a 440, but left the small brakes and cheapened out on the suspension. That's the opposite of pro touring.
Not to be overly negative, it is a nice 70 though. Just throw the wheels in the trash and sort some details out and it would be great.

Saw this one at a local car show late last summer & the car is pretty nice, however, the wheels & Millennium Falcon exhaust just don't work on the car. At the show where I saw it, the for sale sign on the dash had a price of about 140 large (or so), which makes it worthy for the "Delusional Charger sellers" section.
Pretty... and sort of my taste....exhaust aside !....Not 140 G worth though IMO.

Maybe he's just trying to get out of it what he has in it? Still, too much unless I had money to burn. Getting close to a superbird for that price.
.....true but it's quite a different car. If I was looking to buy that Charger I doubt a 'bird would be on my radar. Nice as they are it's not a car I have ever wished to own (even if I could afford one...lol).

For sure no doubt. That car would sell easier if it was not all bling bling with the personal touches but still not at 16k.
The most sought out 73 Charger would be a rallye BB 4 speed with cool options and even that wouldn't draw 25k.

Hmmm. numbers matching big block is cool. About 6940 sold in 400ci 4 bbl according to Govier's Feb 98 edition. Delusional for sure at his price, but for someone wanting to get into a big block with potential, cheaper than a 2nd gen.

He reduced it to 14k. I'm thinking 7-8k for that car. For me it may be worth 9-10k if it wasn't an SE.

I don't believe so. An original first generation hemi (believe it was a white four speeed) from the Tim Wellborn collection sold for high 60s/low 70s at an auction. That is the highest price that I have seen for a completed sale. There was one auction where an original first generation hemi in good shape did not sell where the bidding approached 6 figures (dark green car different from this listing).
This listing is possibly the nicest first generation original hemi (but it is an automatic) so one could argue it may approach $100Kish but suspect nothing more than that unless there is a highly motivated buyer.
I noticed from a quick run through of E-Bay offerings that outlandishly priced Chargers are getting zero bids now. I am thinking that all the speculative buying might be coming to an end. Maybe not. :shruggy: Maybe just a pause in the delusion. I remember back in the 80's boom how people who were not car guys were driving up the price of collector cars as investments and then the crash of 87 dropped the bottom out of the collector car market and you could get stuff for a decent price again. Maybe that will happen again. Then again maybe I am delusional.

Price aside .....shes a pretty car.
Nice Charger but not an R/T and not the original motor. Also A/C under hood components not intact. He has the A/C parts but would be asking more on his price if he installed them.

Looks great in white, but assuming that all one would have to do is add the missing a/c stuff, it's still overpriced by 47-48%.
The blonde appears to be all stock. If she comes with it, that may explain the extra 30 grand added to the price.

Putting the GL part aside, yes a few sellers are out there which is what I expect to see in this thread, but Why is it that just about with EVERY car for sale, you guys think the seller is Delusional when in fact if it were for sale by any of the members here it would probably be the same price if not more. This particular car seems to come with a lot of used and new parts not to mention that most sellers end up taking an offer much less that the asking price anyway, take out your catalogs and see what the parts would cost if you added them all up. Have any of you guys looked at the for sale section on this site, it not much different than most of the listings that are posted in this thread. It's going to be interesting to see when posters on this thread list their cars for sale.......
This car is supposedly.......key word supposedly...and no pic of VIN?

Not me, I point it out.
My gripe with this forum is the double standards that people have here. For instance, when a complete POS that is advertised off site & linked here, the claws come out. But when a site member obtains an equal pile of scrap metal, the comments are (almost always) glowing.
I wouldn't ever pay 15k for a car in pieces like that. You never know how much might be missing until you go to put it back together. A seller is much better off selling a car that's complete and rusty. I think if he would've left the body alone he could probably get 15..... but I don't see that happening now.

While I am not particularly partial to 74 chargers, after reading your post I thought how would I justify to someone why I think 69 Chargers were worth what they seem to go for. It is a subjective subject to say the least
No disrespect intended, just a thought.
If he/she gets $15k for that '74 they better count their lucky stars.
I had a complete running derivable 1973 Charger SE small block in primer, rust free and dent free. I couldn't even get $2500.00 for it. So I said "F" it and parted it out and made about $7300 in about a year and a half. This was back in 2013.
1973/74s don't bring in that much. Yes they are listed for a lot but how many of them actually sell for the asking price?
Now add the buffoonery of the personal touches that these cars are a victim of that gets in the way and distracts potential buyers. If that were a U code Charger then different story. But these Chargers need to be a special package from factory, survivors or unmolested to even consider reaching the 15-20K platform.
Sure this car is a nice hot rod for a youngster to hop in and get joy out of but not at the expense of 15K. You're reaching 2nd gen Charger territory with that asking price.
:cheers:
EDIT: Here's another one close to the same price and some buffoonery as well lol. Blacked out bumper/grille, stripe, ugly color and the infamous hideous of smoothing out the SE quarter glass opera windows. But these are just MY opinions, others may differ.

The person that will buy it is someone that really wants a 68 69 or 70 Charger but sees they are asking $30 000 for the same kind of ( well almost maybe not the seats) shiny paint car and thinks getting this one is a stepping stone to something better in the future
Hideous! I bet Shelby regretted putting their name to that. Even the last two winning bidders realised the error of their ways before it was too late and backed out!!!
People that post vertical aspect/Portrait pictures need a kick to the dick. I'd love to go back in time and punt Steve Jobs in the crotch for setting up the IPhone that way. The lazy dickholes that don't rotate the camera 90 degrees to get a proper angle are mindless lemmings. The REASON that TV screens, movie screens, computer screens and all other screens are wider than they are tall is because as humans, our EYES are side by side. Dows anyone make a movie in "tallscreen" format? NO, they don't. They make it in WIDESCREEN format because it looks better. Vertical pictures is like looking through a narrow doorway.

I'm with you on this one KD, but I'm growing tired of bitching about it because it's never going to get resolved unless iPhone and Android makes it default to horizontal. And while you're wanting to kick someone in the Dick, direct one towards the SnapChat creator who encourages VVS (vertical video syndrome). They came up with a creative way to fill the void on both sides of the image/video. So people think yeah this is cool.
Go to a concert and you'll see at least half of the audience taking videos and how many of those are holding their camera sideways? The stage is wide and there is no way to get all of the performers in the same frame if holding the phone the lazy vertical way. People say it's more complicated to hold the phone sideways, WTF!!!

Also, a green dash with black seats, console, door panels, horn button & carpet & replaced black headliner (with no shoulder belts)? New vinyl top? Take it to the bank that this is originally a triple green car. You can see the bottom of the door is green (along with a missing door gasket) & the door panes are obvious replacements. The stripe is new & placed in the wrong location. As bad as the factory was, they were never that bad.

Add to it all the missing parts & new trunk floor & you could say that this car's been screwed with more than a Las Vegas hooker.
This has to stop. They are just cars but when they are now getting to the prices of most of our house's cost it has gotten to the extreme. Who is buying & paying these top dollar crazy prices for these cars. No one I know....
doesn't look like it's stopping anytime soon...

Nice tail stripe placement on the second one, and heater hoses laying on the shock tower. Why does the color look so weird in the pictures? Over enhanced?
I thought the same thing about the red paint - too much trickery with the enhancement.
The hoses - apparently they were glued in place with super glue. :hah:
If they're asking Barret Jackson prices for our cars, why don't they take them there? :shruggy:
Throw a No Reserve on the ticket and see what they actually go for.

Why does this have to stop, you don't like your car being valuable?? Does anyone else here hope their cars go down in value?? I Don't! and Just for the record I don't live in a 85K-100K house like you claim you and many here do, pretty insulting. Does anyone realize that you can't buy a car and build it for the cost of some of these "high priced cars" and how many of you guys pay asking price without making an offer anyway????
LOL. I don't like it because now I can't buy all of the 2 Gens that I want. I don't have big money either. I have had my red 70' Charger for 27 years & I don't have $10,000.00 into it to this day. In fact I don't have as much into all 4 of my 1970 cars that some are asking for there rusted out bondo bucket junk these days.

so when you sell you 70 RTSE you're going to ask $10,000 for it and not what the market will bring, right. I'll give you that right now. You can be the first Delusional seller in this thread that sells too cheap :smilielol:
It will never be for sale. I don't care what it is worth. It will be handed down to my kids when I am gone. I guess they can worry about what it is worth then.

Did not really know if your are being serious about house prices.....can you really buy a house in the US for under $100k? You could not buy a decent garage to keep your Charger in for that in the UK...ok slight exaggeration ! But my fairly normal house (other than beach location on South Coast) is with about £300,000 (about $420,000).....and my house is far from expensive around here and I know many regular guys who live in much more expensive digs.

And I'm sure you will advise them before you are gone to get the least amount of money they possibly can for the cars when they go to sell them, NOT market value. :2thumbs:

Absolutely! In many places. Or you can pay 1/2 a million for an $8,000 trailer on a leased lot if you want to live in Los Angeles or New York City. Cost of living is widely varied here but it's amazing how many people don't realize it. Near where I live I can get land for $1,500-5,000 an acre that's connected to all utilities. The same distance the other direction and it's $30-40k an acre. Get in the city and that won't get you a lot big enough to park your car in. I doubt you could rent a park bench for that in NYC! But go out west maybe 25 miles out of town and you're back to $200 an acre and modular homes can be had starting around $60k brand new. Even with the current "boom" I have to carefully set my filters on the various realty sites to pare the list down to something manageable.
I have a good story about home prices but little time to tell it. The short version is I looked at a house here that was 5,500 sq/ft on 5 rolling acres overlooking a valley with 3 stories of windows in the great room and a 4 car garage with a 50x100' barn that had an RV door on one end for $395k then went to Long Island New York to pick up a Charger and the guy there was selling his 2 bedroom, single level ranch on 1/4 acre with a "1 car" garage (that barely held the Charger) for $400k. I didn't ask about property taxes but all other taxes, fuel, and food are higher. It cost me $28 just to drive across the bridges with a trailer. (We barely have any toll roads.)
On a related note, I literally could buy a house with what I have one car insured for. It's depressing when shopping for cars!
Troy
250K for ten acres in Kansas (where I live) Prices keep going up. :brickwall:
That is a good price. Kansas is pretty flat though. I like some hills around me.

1996 Dodge Ram 2500 V-10 488 cu in. Owed 21 years now, bought used then. Still can't afford a new truck.
2012 Challenger R/T Classic, first newer car I have purchased since 1996 Ram above. First thing I ever owned in the 2000's.

Single Dad with all three of my kids living with me full time. Well, my oldest just moved back out into his own Condo a few months ago to be closer to work. Two boys & one girl. Technically, the Charger 500 is now my youngest Son's & the Road Runner is my oldest Son's cars (haven't found anything for my Daughter that she likes yet). I gave them to them for their last Birthday's to past the torch. I look forward to working on & restoring them with my Son's for some Father Son's garage time as time & money allow.

With nothing but forest in every direction for 250 miles.......
Back to delusions. I'll call delusion on this one.
Starting bid $1999. He's really only selling the VIN tag. It's a 383 car so how can there be any value to the VIN? The delusion is that there is a reserve.
Lol. That's mine. I've been watching this thread since I knew it would end up here! It may not get $2k but it will sell for at least $1500.
And there isn't a reserve and it never had a reserve. The $2k is an asking/starting price.

Yeah. I've had 3 or 4 "featured" in this thread. I don't take it personally; I think it's funny. But I've sold all of them for what I wanted!

I agree :) Many years ago I reluctantly became owner of a 70 Monte carlo in a bit of a convoluted deal. I parked it at a swap meet with a for sale sign and when a group of people gathered around looking I would walk up and start bashing it (why bring this rusty heap here, oh nice purple paint on the engine) I was relentless and got everyone else to join in.
Then I would admit to owning it after everyone ran out of insults. :coolgleamA:

Well, the charger has been sold and picked up this morning by a nice guy from California, who owns a number of 2nd gen chargers. Had a couple guys fighting over it. Maybe I didn't ask enough??? 😆

Here's one that has been on craigslist around here for at least 2 years or more. Now it popped up on my Facebook marketplace.
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/1968-charger-t-440-orig/6498051377.html
My friend sent me photos of that silver Charger a few days ago, I noticed it look like it has cruise control on it.
Do you guys think its worth $39K as it sits?
(I am NOT in the market to buy) I am just wondering.
I'd say maybe $15K because it's an R/T, looks fairly complete.
That is a barn car, 39k is pretty laughable.
Yea the silver buffed paint is rare and cool but the car is no holy grail.
Still a 440 auto car and a crusty one too.
Personally I'd say its worth some were around 15-20k.
$39K is way too high. That being said, it can't be described as "crusty" until pictures of the problem areas are shown. The only obvious rust is the rust at the rear window corners. If it's from a dry area, the top probably looks worse then it is since the vinyl top was baked off. The quarters don't look that bad from the pictures provided. I'd say $15-20K as well
When my buddy texted me the silver Charger it had a bunch more photos, it had some shots of the under side, it has a trailer hitch.
I think that is GREAT, because no one does that today, with a R/T Charger!
Can you picture a hellcat or SRT owner putting a hitch on his car?
I know the new cars cant tow as much as the old ones, but, I am just saying, its cool, people used to use them AS CARS!!!!
My buddy sent it to me on TEMPEST what ever that is and there was more photos.
It looks like today a basket case R/T, that needs everything new, and no orignal eng and trans, is about 10k and up.
What is that "Plate" above the water pump, by upper rad hose?

Looks like the car has or had A/C and that is where the compressor would have been
Yeah maybe aftermarket A/C, look at driver side inner fender,
It has that hose with the u bolt clamp.
And condensor in front of rad, I missed that.

I saw that very car headed north on the CA 99 freeway just north of Bakersfield on Valentine's day lol what are the odds.
That car was way beyond my skills but to someone who has time and skills it could be restored

It might command 25-30k if it was a 4 speed Dana 60 car but it's isnt. If the car is solid, I stand by my $15-20k estimate. I follow the 2nd gen market very closely.

Who in his right mind is going to spend $30K on a generic project car? Daytona? Yes. AAR/ TA? Yes. Hemi anything? Yes. Just a 440 car? No thank you. Silver isn't a special enough colour to raise it. Black might add a grand for those that just absolutely have to have a black car.
As someone who has been looking for a 68 Charger RT for some time now, if this car was priced at $25K it would not last more than a few minutes (I would be in the fight). That may sound nuts to the majority, but there are more than enough people willing to grab it for much more than what most think is the proper or logical price.
In talks with the seller awhile ago, however, it does not seem that the price will be going much lower than $39K...at least not for the time being.

:o
Over 62K and you get what looks like a broken drivers seat and an un-cleaned carpet. Some folks have no idea how to present a car!
And no door top pad on the passenger's door!
This blows my mind. I've been trying to find a decent 70 RT for the last 3 years and these prices are insane.
https://macon.craigslist.org/cto/d/1970-dodge-charger-tbarrell/6516460826.html
Check this one out:
https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-classic-vintage-cars/bryanston/1969-dodge-charger-rt/1002242208130910377162609
$1.4 million dollar 69. Just have to go to South Africa to get it.
This one is $1.7 million:
https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-classic-vintage-cars/bryanston/1969-dodge-charger-r-t-440-magnum/1002230062750910377162609
Little hard to complain about the prices we have to pay when others have to pay insane prices like this.
At least the 1.7 million car didn't have shackles on it.
$1.00 US = 11.92 Rand
So the 1,450,000 car is $121,644.30 in US dollars
And the 1,750,000 car is $146,812.08 in US dollars
Those are still crazy numbers :eek2:
Here are a couple that have been haunting the Craigslist in my neighborhood for the last month or so:
A '69 with mostly '68 parts and has been rolled - look at the roof line!
https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/1969-dodge-charger/6489343224.html
And a '70 that actually doesn't look too bad:

Yes I agree. I was using the 340 Charger to compare it with the first Charger (green one) that is listed for the same price. So IMO the green Charger has the delusional asking price.

At least this seller cleaned/cleared the floor boards to be somewhat presentable. Unlike the Jack A$$e$ asking 40k+ for their Charger and the carpet has debris and crumbs on the carpet.
Neat Charger however. :cheers:

I want the car (but not for that much). He can keep the truck. As much as I love ramp trucks, it has to be a Dodge though.
In this market ?
I'm starting to believe there is no such thing anymore as a "delusional" Seller ?
Just me I guess,
but the last few sales I have personal knowledge of ..... ALL had elements of "irrational exuberance" exhibited by the Buyer's to acquire, with equally irrational(IMO), unsuccessful competitors.
Fundamentals of supply and demand being what they are, I find it VERY strange that this pressure seems to be dragging the bottom UP at a far faster rate ? versus, what the finer examples are appreciating ? if at all ?
I mean how is $20-$30K justified and PAID, for a Car requiring $60K-$70K to restore at a minimum, when comparable examples can still be acquired already restored, and done, for the same $60-$70K ?
Makes NO sense to me !
I think the exact same thing every time I read one of these posts.. but then there are some for sale that are just priced ridiculously.

I know!
I can only guess most of the better examples are in the garages of people who really are not interested in sell their cars.
Also looks as if maybe these cars are really selling for more money then the "price guides" say they are worth.
And its not just Chargers, even the cars that used to be thought of as less desireable, are on the quick rise.
4 doors, wagons(and I like wagons) the late 70's roadrunners, Shelby Chargers.
I was out of the loop for a bit, had family/health issues to deal with, so had to take a break from the hobby, and I came back 4-5 years later, and BAM the 2nd gen Chargers have been leading the pack of high priced car.
I understand a sweet, fully restored Charger R/T or non R/T getting the money they deserve, but the project prices have just gone wild(just like the girls)
It is just a fact of life right now.
I feel I got a fair deal on my 1969, I had been looking for about while, but I had the money, and was REALLY looking for 8 months, and I found only a few "fair" deals. I wish I didnt HAVE to pay so much, but having been watching the prices of those cars, I really thought it was gonna go for $4-5000 more then my bid, so I was kind of shocked I was the wining bidder.
But as for cars that are sold at a price fair for both sides of the deal, I see less and less of them.
Every Charger seller(prob me if I had to sell, LOL) wants to hit a grand slam, and make retirement money on their cars.
Besides e bay, we have no way of knowing what they really sell for vs what the asking price is.
But I feel like most people pay what they have to, because the love the cars, and want one, more so then get a fair deal on one.
Also the truck/Charger combo, includes a new windshield? I wonder why? :scratchchin:
yeah because the roof/A piller is super easy to fix, it was totaly getting that new windsheild that is a bitch and semi deal breaker!!
If he installed the windsheild with 5-7 tubes of the automotive windsheild sealant, it would actuly be a good idea to help keep the weather out.
I also never get when you want to sell something worth over $2500 bucks, you need more then 4 photos.
People are literally gonna be paying $18k for rusted-out bare shells, and Dynacorn is still gonna be telling us there isn't enough demand for a new repro shell.
I have always wondered why they do not make reproduction bodies,as like "kit cars" like the cobra's you can buy.
With all they guys doing restomods,I would think a high quality steel body(like AMD panels), that allow you to use a modern suspension, and brakes, and engine trans combos, would sell like a MO FO.(Charger/Cuda/Roadrunner)
Do they still make the Mustang and Camaro Bodies?
A replacement body would be a great thing. Make it with bigger rear wheelhouses so a 295 can fit without rubbing! I run a 295-45-18 and mine is lowered only a slight amount. With a full tank and 2 people, I'll get some inner wheelhouse contact.

Meh. Give people enough room for a 295, and they will just stuff a 315 in there and complain that it rubs.
A reproduction body would be awesome since these cars are getting harder & harder to find. That way all of the movie companies can smash those up also instead of originals. And to those SEMA or Autorama type builds that most of them just ruin a nice looking Charger.
I have 295's under the rear of my Charger & it's all stock with no rubbing. 295/50-15's though. LOL.

Have you tried wheel spacers? Maybe stack some washers behind just to eyeball where it's rubbing and get the proper spacer. I had that issue and had to put a small spacer in, I think they're Mr. Gasket 5/16

How about the delusional buyers? You know the ones that make an offer about 1/3rd of your asking price on something that is priced in the market range?They are the most irritating people.
Next up would be the ones that cant afford something so they bitch about the prices because it's the markets fault they can't afford something. For some reason the market should be aligned with their bank account. Heaven forbid you having to work a little harder to get something you want.
If it sells in the range of the asking price then thats what the market will bear. If it doesnt sell then it is overpriced.

I ran a Nitto 555 285 40 18 for years on my white 69 and it never rubbed, ever. I even had 1.5" lowering blocks in the springs.
I also ran a 295 45 18 and it also rubbed with the family, it was very annoying so I traded them out. I was nervous about the profile being to low but it wasnt, it even looked better than the 45 profile.

" This car will never depreciate and continue to appreciate! This car is a Great Investment!"
It's $20 shipping on the radiator hose. That's the delusional issue, $1250 and still paying for shipping. :o
The seller will argue that it's still a helluva deal. The hose totals $1270 but the buyer makes payments of $1272. Only $2 interest total over 2 years. It's a deal. :smilielol:
Its not a good sign for a potential shrewd buyer when the tone of this thread goes from delusional sellers and morphs into talk of delusional buyers.
This codependent relationship is leaving the station with shred buyers complaining, rather then hitting the backroads to find those remaining deals.
I had thought the General had tan seats?
for a car that always places at the top she is off a bit?
I wonder if it is $90K because it has a Georgia title?
If the title lists the address as "The Duke farm, Hazzard County, Georgia , then I guess it is worth $90K!

I've seen some crazy $hit on eBay. I just bought a NOS hose for my 70 Charger for $25 at an old parts store here at the house. I also asked the guy for some for some 15" wiper refills and he went in the back where he got his hose and grabbed me a box of Anco 12-15 Lol. I said what else you got back there, he just laughed and said that's about it.

I am not sure, even if it was a 1 of 1 secret factory 426 HEMI car built for Walter P Chrysler's grandson, it would be worth that much money, LOL!!!

Forget if there was any further "Police Pursuit Pkg" availabilities in a 1968 Charger R/T, as they already came with the HP Engine/Trans/Brakes etc., but that nitwit is claiming it has a
1350 cfm 4 BBL Carter Carburetor, that looks strangely just like stock Carter AVS to me ?

The last one of those "magic/007" supposed FRESH legendary HEMI Engines I took apart ?..... had been flipped through 4-5 Owners and never fired, each one never did anything with it other than worship it on the stand... then sell to the next dork.... more worshipping..... another Sale..... more enthralled owner slobbering.....repeat, repeat... the "legend" growing with each successive owner....
until FINALLY,
the last unsuspecting dimbulb bought it a shipped it for us to dis-assemble/inspect/prep for service, and give it our "blessing" on the DYNO for service !
You guessed it...
took it apart to check it out BEFORE putting it on the Dyno.... only to find nothing more than somebody's twisted idea of a mock up "display" Engine ? that IF it had been fired up... probably would have windowed the concrete floor blowing chunks in about 4 nanoseconds !
* 4 Pistons on one side with 4 stock Connectind Rods
* 4 different Pistons on the other side with 4 used up/burnt up H-Beam Rods
* .017" Piston to Wall
* Block Decks MILLED 3/8" so paper thin to save weight, that I doubt a Head Gasket would hold long enough to even hold water
* 2" long CRACKS in 5 Head Chambers
* Various dings/dents/cracks throughout the Block Crankcase from 37 prior explosions ?
Yep, it was a real BEAUT !
I think the last guy paid about $30K for it.... plus OUR Bill to ship it back DECLINED any further work !

man, people arent lying when they say the prices have gone through the roof for chargers the last few years haha.
Only fair to highlight those examples marketed within a reasonable price expectation ? as in NON-delusional because of a "Beat Offer" option attached to the Buy It Now price.

it adds some perspective to the ones posted here that are delusional wanting $20-$30K for cars requiring expensive repairs/restoration and ultimately would not be as nice.

Not too far out of line. I think $45k is more like it, so he is "asking" 44% over the low end price. It's not 100% over, or 200% over. A sale may very happen if the buyer comes up $10k and the seller comes down $10k, thus a 44% "mark-up" is not crazy. At $90k I would say it's delusional. :Twocents:

that is the current market.
I suspect he will most definitely see mid-high 50's

That's so close to my old car that if it had came up 11 years ago I might have jumped on it, but not at 65K. All original car at that price, I don't doubt it'll sell. One thing I do notice, the seller does not say anything about "numbers matching" or accident history. Maybe doesn't know. :shruggy:

Yeah I dunno where that $130K price came from ?
Nice Car, not knocking the car itself, but the $129,900 price tag threw me for a loop ?
I mean Vanguard have always been somewhat on the high-side asking-wise,(who knows what they actually sell for), but even with all of Tommy doo-doo's blubbering.... $130K goes over like a lead fart !
Yeah, 130K. A lot of wishful thinking. Or maybe looking for an offer of 20% less. That it would put it at a stratospheric 104K. Still a 500 range. Na, maybe someone with more money than sense.
No jack, or spare, & the front bumper is to high on the driver side or to low on the pass. side. Still a nice car but not that much $$$.
Having recently faced the mortality of my own Charger I have to ask: what is the average selling price for what we here would consider a "good" but not necessarily excellent car, a driver? Looks to me like Chargers that fall into that category are in the $50-60K range. If that is so, I'll have to see about saving money in case I ever suffer a total loss and have to buy another car...
That seems to be the range lately doesnt it?

Unfortunately, and I say that with relevance to the new Buyer's looking, or former owner's who may be wishing to reacquire ? the $50-$60K range seems to be the decent R/T range, the examples offered below which are more trouble than the Dollars saved initially.
That's just "my opinion", and I could be wrong here..... just me personally, but I have not seen a "decent" 2nd Gen R/T in the $40's for awhile now ?

The biggest question is who knows

Their Inventory does seem to change though, so they must be selling at least a few. Always easier to come down in price to any Offer, than to do UP after ?

That's just swell. So I figure I'd need about $55K just to be a contender, in case I ever need to buy again. Although, God willing, I won't have to do that. I plan to keep mine till death do us part.
Meanwhile, some friends of mine are mucking around with Mark 4 Toyota Supras, which I'm told, can go for as much as $100K in the right shape. Man, who would've guessed Chargers and Supras would ever be worth this much...

No doubt about that. I thought it would have hit a plateau by now. But, it hasn't.
What I'm trying to say with the $55k pickup comment is that inflation plays a big role in this. The Charger values are going up but the value of US dollars is also going down too.
A 5yo used Toyota Camry is $14k.
Common '60s non-fastback Mustangs sometimes change hands for $20k and more.
The average cost of 1 year in a 4-year public college (out of state) is $24k.
The median price of a new home is $200k.
-----------------
2nd-gen Chargers do cost a ton these days. But I don't think they are costing more than people are spending to build/maintain them. A car doesn't exist for 50 years unless somebody keeps on spending money to keep it existing. Even storage out of the weather costs something.
Even occasional driving does wear & tear. Most of the "driver" condition cars these days have already gotten amounts of restoration work that would have ranked as major a few decades ago.

The price has to start somewhere.... People only see the finished product and always think its too much money but don't realize what it takes to restore one. Hard to tell how nice it is underneath but if it was on a rotisserie and if its as nice as the topside is, 89k could be a fair price. Personally I love seeing the prices go through the roof on these cars. I'm not buying, I have one already...

One picture is not enough to make a guess, but IMO, $89K for a 383 example no matter how rare or clean would seem to be on the high side.
I agree. I'm making jokes about the wheels but the car looks nice as a whole. Just not $89,000 nice. That kind of money requires a top collectible VIN. R/T + desirable color.

I honestly don't know how Vanguard stays in business. All of their cars are extremely overpriced, yet they have a huge inventory and seem to sell them to someone.
The biggest question is who knows what Vanguard actually sells for ?
Their Inventory does seem to change though, so they must be selling at least a few. Always easier to come down in price to any Offer, than to do UP after ?
I tried buying a couple different cars from Vanguard and they would not budget much on their prices - at least that was the case three or four years ago. For one I won an eBay auction but it was below reserve (Green 68 mustang fastback restomod - not normally Mustang person but car was a bit unique - original looking but restomodded) and they would only lower the price about $1,500 on a car listed for $69K (i believe). I had won the auction in the low $40s and wanted to see how low they would go - was only $1,500 off list. Other car I believe was 68 Charger four or five years ago and it was similar - wouldn't budge much more then $1,000.
So wonder same question - who is actually buying cars from them?
It wouldn't surprise me if they make most of their business with overseas sales. Importing a car for a substantial amount of money without the possibility of checking it's condition first is always a risky move. Personally I'd spend an extra grand or two to fly to the desired car's location and take a close look - but loads of people don't. In case you decide not to, you probably want to go for a vendor whos been in the business for some time, has experience with shipping/customs and provides loads of high quality pictures instead of the 3 out of focus ones you have on your average craigslist ad.
Of course that will mean you probably won't make a bargain and you will have to fork out a bit more but it might decrease the possibility of you having a complete meltdown when opening the shipping container for the first time...which is not that unusual. There have been plenty of 6ft5 giants left in tears because they spent all their savings on a "daily driver" which is a project car at best.
Obviously I don't know everyone with a Charger in the UK....but all those I know who imported from the US did NOT import complete restored cars....just too expensive. We all imported cars needing a full resto or an unfinished project.

Nah, you're right, most don't import a fully restored car. It just seems the interest in Mopars is as strong as ever and I'd imagine there are some people on the other side of the world who got enough money but don't have the expertise to do a full resto. I was lucky enough a friend nearby sold me his perfectly overhauled Charger so I didn't have to go the import route (am a Lederhosen Kraut) as I'm not sure I could have handled a full resto. Love fixing the little things now and getting to know it better each day but would have been completely overwhelmed with a rusty shell.
There are a few though I know from German speaking platforms who bought what looked like a proper car and turned out to be a complete rip off. Mate of mine is days away of seeing his newly imported survivor Hemi Road runner and he hasn't had a proper sleep for weeks now. That's why I figured some might prefer buying it via Vanguard etc.

SHOCK Alert !
Hagerty are recording the largest 4 Month Price appreciation period in many many years on 2nd Gens, with an average 10% increase in 1969 Charger prices between Jan to May 2018 in Canada, with the #1 Cars recording the highest Sale price increases of 12-13% , #2 Cars next highest at 10-11% and so on....
Probably the same in the U.S. as the small Canadian market typically mirrors the larger southern activity.
"Delusional" Sellers ?
or
pre-pricing in for the market increases ?
Vanguard may not look so stupid after all ?
Who would have thunk it even 15 years ago, that the day would come that if you ever sold your beloved 2nd Gen ? you could very well be priced out of the market within months to again replace it.
I've been watching Mecum the last few months and 440 cars are breaking down the 100k door.

Yes it does, and at $42500, it doesnt seem that far out of line with current prices. I'd say that one doesnt deserve to be in the delusional seller thread.
Wow finally something reasonable. Thanks for posting
Spoke to a guy regarding a 68 replica/clone out of TX. Looks good in the video. Runs well. 440. Said he's thinking $37,500. Non R/T replicas/clone seem to not hold the value as much. I guess someone could do enough to a clone R/T to raise the price, which is what we see on these ebay ad's, non R/T asking 35-40K+ and sitting. Would be a good deal if he were ready to sell but he's got some personal things (divorce) to work out before he decides but it was a good conversation.

Imo cloning does not add any value over the base charger unless it has a hemi in it. Then there would be some return on investment. Otherwise its money lost in the "game" like adding rims headers carb ect ect. Pennies on the dollar return for aftermarket add ons.

Yes I'm finding that out although most seem to think it's worth a million bucks which is the hard part. Knowing what a fair price is for these cars. It all seems to come back to what one wants to pay rather than going rate. I thought this price seemed fair but then is have seen some less and so upwards of 45k.

Pity about the non age related number plate as it was somehow registered at new when imported in 1978...would not happen nowadays. (should end in F for a 1968 car) and its not legal to have black and chrome plate on a car registered later than 1 Jan 75 on an N reg (should be black letters on yellow on the back and white on the front on that car....if it had been properly registered on a G then you could use black and chromes but it would take a miserable cop to care!!! LOL!).....but other than that it looks like a lot of fun. Just so you know that's about $110,400 at todays (02.Sept.18) exchange rate.

Without wanting to divert this track too much, why is there such a discrepancy between an R/T and a base. I know that there is a bit of a difference in performance from say a base 318 to a 440, but a 383/4 isn't too far behind. Yet the base versions all seem to be treated the same in terms of desirability.
Good point, Figgy....Maybe there is a sense that many people intend to buy the car as an investment as opposed to those that want to race or just drive the car. Also, I am not all that impressed with numbers matching stuff. I have never owned a true "Pedigree" car even though I have owned 66 cars and trucks since I bought that 69 Dart in 1982. The closest thing to Performance models that I have owned have been a 73 Dart Sport 340, a 74 Duster 360 and 2 original 440 trucks.

R/T has many unique items, and a premium price when new, as it should. If you had one, would you sell it as low as someone else with just a 383, without the badging, suspension, transmission, exhaust, engine, and everything else, including just it's rarity?
I think that you are overstating it though. I wonder why a genuine R/T should command almost 35% more than a 383 car, almost double of a 318 model as well.
Perhaps you can come up with a better reason. It's a muscle car. That's the point. Who wants a 318 muscle car? Who wants a mid sized engine muscle car? Roadrunner was a cheap performance oriented muscle car with a 383 base engine, but that engine was different than a 383 Charger engine. Even so, Roadrunners sell for less than Chargers, unless they come with a Hemi. Does this sound reasonable? I know I'm not paying top dollar for a 318 Charger, and I'm not selling a Charger R/T for what 383 Chargers sell for. Just look at it as supply and demand. If you don't care, then you're lucky. Save a lot of money and buy a 318 Charger.
But a clone seems to get a bad rap also, or just maybe not valued as high. Even if you take a non r/t and Chang the motor, tranny, suspension, badges - still doesn't seem to get near the same value
It's the prestige of saying that you own an R/T.

That is my point as well. My car is not an original R/T but it now has everything an R/T would have had and a lot more. I'd beat a stock R/T in every category now except fuel economy!

While I had every intention of restoring this car,changes that have happened to my pension, and retirement date ,have made me realize that I am seven years away from even starting on the car. I have sold off eight project cars in the last year, and I will consider cutting more loose too. I have 10 other projects that I plan on doing, most of them are Chargers. I have had to face the fact that I will not be able to build all the cars I have, and pass some of them on to people who will get them done.

Same with my 70' Challenger. Going on 10 years & still haven't driven it down the road yet but it is getting close. I can say I have heard it run though at least since I dyno'd it.
There was a time when I could build a car a year,but that's not a realistic expectation anymore. It takes me three to five years to put anything together these days.
Just checked the title transfer date on my charger. I drove it into the garage and that was the last time it moved under its own power. 07/31/2007. But the good news is that it now sits on its suspension and tires. Got myself a roller!
What do you guys think of this not a charger but still a b body. The description is very vague but he says the frame rails are good just needs floor work but in the pics you notice there no torsion cross member or torsion bars and in one pic it's alittle hard to see he has a cement block holding the car up so it's sitting almost normal height, I just thought it looks alittle deceitful not mentioning that part in the description...

There's considerably more wrong with this car than is mentioned in the description and I would need more pictures, especially underneath the car. Looks like he should have mentioned that the back window sheet metal is rotted, looks like the left front fender has some holes, at least one rear foot well needs replacement. Any interior come with the car? I wonder what lurks under that vinyl top?
But, nothing that we haven't seen before. I'd need to see a lot more before making any kind of bid. Given the crazy prices I'm seeing for old Mopars today, he might get what he's asking.
That thing needs everything. Scrap Yard imo.

How many of us would make the mistake of calling this a 70? He says this is his baby, does he not know what he's got?
Edit: ok, now after looking closely, I think I see the ignition switch on the column and the consol looks different. I wonder if he has a 70 with 68 fenders. Can't see the tail panel :shruggy:
Probably stating the obvious but it looks like someone put a 70 Dash in there with the 70 vin tag as that doesn't look like a 68 VIN.

Probably stating the obvious but it looks like someone put a 70 Dash in there with the 70 vin tag as that doesn't look like a 68 VIN.

You are correct. From the ad...
"Sorry for not including this in the original post but the numbers on the radiator mount do match the VIN, I will try to update a photo of this soon when there is light to go outside and snag a photo."And he want's 46 large for it! Who wants to step up to message this guy to tell him that he's got a 68 car with a 70 dash with VIN numbers that don't belong on the car.....and that now all he's got is a parts car? :smilielol: :lol: :smilielol: :lol:

Correct on the console! 1970-74 E Body & 1971-74 B Body
Look at the impressive wiring job going through the firewall. I particularly admire the starter relay attachment to the wiper motor with a twist tie. I think the car might burn up before the 68/70 issue is resolved.

XP29N0G248859
The VIN in the ad is proper for a 70 Charger
It has all 70 interior ( except front seats) dash and key in the steering column
Maybe just new quarters and had a 68 front end laying around and that is what got used so put 68 markers on the rear quarters too
Has 69 tail lights with the chrome on the lenses on the back of the car from the new picture added
The XP model for 1970 would have had the aluminum trim panel on the taillight panel.

The 70 aluminum trim panel will not fit over the tail lights if the have the chrome trim on them ( I have tried and did not work )
Also you have to drill all those holes to mount the trim panel which is not fun either
Still looks like just using parts they had to fill the needed space
Door handles are quite interesting also....

Holt shit. 5K for that. :smilielol:
It's at $12,900.00 now with 41 bids and still has time to go. I am curious what happens to it. Is it even savagable after the hit it took?
People mostly buy jumped GLs for souvenirs rather than resto projects.
If you think it's possible to 'restore' an old axe by replacing both the handle and the blade, then yeah, that GL body is salvageable.
It was a total mess before it hit the ramp. (Look at that broken framerail in the trunk.) Jump cars like this are basically held together by the rollcage.
This is hilarious :smilielol:. Whenever this car's jump was posted on social media, there were lines of comments from folks insulted that such a rare car was being destroyed. Those who knew the car justified it as the car was basically a rusted out, VIN-less shell that financially unfeasible to restore BEFORE the jump. Now that its been crashed, its bid over $12K with 21 minutes to go.
But Dynacorn knows there was never a market for repro 68-70 Charger shells. Gotta make those rare Mustangs and Novas.
That is a curious statement.
How many Camaro and Mustang bodies have been sold? Is it possible that if a Charger body were offered and sold, the sky high demand would drop off due to increased supply?
I doubt it. The average person probably couldn't afford a brand new body
I have yet to hear of anyone that bought one of their Challenger bodies.
QuoteI have yet to hear of anyone that bought one of their Challenger bodies.
Me either. No doubt they took a serious bath on that product. But IMO that was predictable. I'm not sure a Challenger shell would even outsell a '71 Cuda shell, never mind a 68-70 Charger shell.
Do shitty Challenger wrecks sell for the kinds of numbers that we see with shitty Charger wrecks (on a weekly basis)? Do guys routinely fix a 1000-lb Challenger unibody with 500+ pounds of AMD metal, like with Chargers nowadays?
I have never understood the idea that the two cars were comparable in demand. Challengers do sell for high numbers but the total size of the fan base is smaller. Isn't that what we're always hearing from the repro industry all the time: "It's not the price of a used item, it's the size of the buyer pool that matters"?
I can believe the explanations that a repro Charger shell isn't cost-effective. But the same explanations make me wonder how in the hell they are profiting off most of their other repro unibodies. Do you know of
anyone who built
anything with a Dynacorn body? Even the bigger shops that crank out Eleanor '67 Mustang replicas by the dozen are rehabbing 50yo body shells. If an operation like that is not using a lot of Dynacorn shells then I wonder who is.
I just called. $2500.

I suspect Dodge licensing and their desire to approve the Challenger over a Charger due to modern style equivilancy may have been a factor in this as well.
Just a random thought but if they did repop 68-70 charger bodies I imagine those random XS bodies that are rotted out beyond repair and those random dashes and vins that pop up on eBay would find new homes with people trying to pass off RT cars as "Completly Restored" when the only restoration work that was done was the vin tag is repainted and new Chrysler decal added then it's slapped on a new body! I'm sure we all feel the same way about that.. just more scammers to watch out for.. Just my 2 cents

Offer $100 just for the pads, who knows, he might go for it. Not like them missing would be a deal killer for anyone looking at that scrap metal.

VIN fraud is easy enough just using 50yo original 318 cars. It's been going on for 25+ years now. I don't see new body shells making it way more common.
Besides, IMO there will never be a repro body shell that isn't detectable if you know where to look. The industry can hardly reproduce a single part that doesn't have some difference on it somewhere.

Maybe.
Another way to see it is that the replacement body might be a better quality structure as compared to an original car that has been rusted, hacked and rebuilt without accurate jigs. One can be off a few millimeters here and there and still get the gaps right by cutting a trunklid edge, a door edge, etc. The changes may only get noticed when trying to replace a door later to find that it does not fit a stock opening.
I don't know how I feel about replacement bodies. I love the idea of fresh metal and an unmolested structure, also being the first owner. I also relish the thought of bringing a car back from total neglect.

Good thing that "all the hard work is done"
:buff: :hack: :coocoo:
Another ruined Charger. ::)
also hard to tell what is for sale exactly from the listing. Shell has more than a few imperfections as well.
This looks like a legit Dukes of Hazard replica...

$125K and it's not finished! How is that even possible? :o
Because the guy is a jerkoff that paid full retail for everything, paid people to do the work and simply wrote checks until he ran out of time and money.

Really KD, what do you think the metal and body work cost on my Bee and as you know I've done ALL the mechanical and assembly work. Guess I'm a jerk off too because I paid someone to do body work. :shruggy:

I'd think a SuperBird or a Daytona could get that high or worse due to the rare and specific parts of those cars. THe other appeared to be a standard body Charger.
Don't get offended when your case is not even closely related.
QuoteBecause the guy is a jerkoff that paid full retail for everything, paid people to do the work and simply wrote checks until he ran out of time and money.
These kinds of jerkoffs keep the economy going. They keep aftermarket companies in business. They keep skilled restorers employed. It's their willingness to pay somebody else to do something well, even if the result is a net money-loser for the guy writing the checks.
He is gonna lose money on the sale of a half-finished car. That's his own fault. But it's a gain for pretty much everyone else being affected.

I'm not playing the victim or getting offended. As to "even closely related" I have about that, US$'s, into my car and I'm doing all the work, other than body work. Just asked a simple question, am I a jerk off because I kept 3 guys employed for 6 months doing metal work, body and paint.
Christ, still playing this like the ugly girl that doesn't get asked to dance. YOU were never mentioned.
"Because the guy is a jerkoff that paid full retail for everything, paid people to do the work and simply wrote checks until he ran out of time and money."

A lot of work has been done on that Charger. 38K is not crazy priced.
LOL !
Tough crowd around here.
Reminder to self.... BEFORE ever contemplating selling ? post a "WIW" thread here first, lest I make the "delusional" thread.
With the muscle car boom in the last few years, people with deep pockets are paying big money to have cars restored. Look at all the new TV series and what the cost is to build a turn key car.

Yep, makes no sense to me, but people are still spending
HUGE Money !
Spend it if you got it I guess ?
A friend of mine has the bug and was recently quoted $100K to $120K CND Dollars to restore a '68 R/T ! He then promptly phoned me inquiring "if" and "how much" for my '69 ?
Makes it really difficult to want to accept a whole LOT less than the $100K CND Dollar minimum he was quoted to "restore", when the wreck '68 he got estimated was $30K up front just to
BUY it ? #'s matching Engine/Trans but NO B-Sheet/missing parts.

Sure a lot of work has been done. He/she probably has more than 38k invested in that project due to the personal touches in the interior. Sure there's probably a small tiny market of people that MIGHT pony up that 38k for a '71 Charger non R/T. But they'll be sitting on it for awhile looking for the right buyer.
Why do people invest money in muscle cars, add their personal touches, dump a ton of money in it and expect to make a profit?

I don't think people expect to MAKE money. I'm pretty sure they think they will get their money back.....which we both know is seldom the case.
It's a little bit like construction costs in that people wish they'd done the restoration 15 years ago when labor was cheaper. Some bite the bullet and restore a car expecting cars to keep appreciating. But cars are so much more cyclical.

Mytur: While high at $61K, not sure it meets the "delusional" criteria per the OP (double the actual value or higher). Suspect the car is worth at list $30,500. Interesting at their website there are a lot of pictures of the car but no description (eBay listing has more description but fewer pictures) - and this is a dealer.
Interesting story on this one. Off the road in 1984 but the NY history (e.g., winters, salt on roads, etc.) would worry me.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-Dodge-Charger-Matching-Numbers-Big-Block-Survivor-Brushed-Metal/173725723000?hash=item2872dc2978:g:B-UAAOSwFZZcMZcS:rk:10:pf:0&vxp=mtr
Apparently for $61K the Brushed Steel wrap will go right over bondo as well ?
Check the rear valence, something funky going on there, looks "lumpy" at the bottom left.
Good eye Challenger340, definitely something funky going on with the valance, it looks just like mine and I know mine is packed full of mud.
1969-1984 is still plenty of time for one of these cars to get pretty crusty with NY winters, I'd want to spend some quality time with a magnet inspecting this one.

Was on eBay twice buyer backed off.
XS29L8B360947
From the eBay listing:
THIS CHARGER, WHICH DECODES BY FENDER AND VIN TAGS AS A FACTORY 440, 4 SPEED, TRIPLE BLACK, VINYL TOP CAR, SAT UNBEKNOWST TO ME UNDER A CARPORT, ABOUT 8 MILES FROM MY HOUSE, HAVING NEVER BEEN ON THE ROAD OR TITLED SINCE 1977 (I HAVE A PIC OF THE ARKANSAS GREEN TITLE THAT CAME WITH THE CAR, DATED 1977-HAD TO TURN IT IN OF COURSE TO OBTAIN THE CLEAR NON SALVAGE CURRENT ARKANSAS TITLE I HAVE IN MY NAME). IT IS A MANUAL STEERING 4 WHEEL DRUM BRAKE CAR, IT WAS MADE TO GO IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL ENGINE, HAVING A 440 HIPO OUT OF A 75 VINTAGE MOPAR OF SOME SORT, (MOPARTS WEBSITE STATES THE 440 HIPO WAS PRODUCED THROUGH 1978, THOUGH OBVIOUSLY DETUNED FROM THE 60'S MODELS).
I HAVE INCLUDED A PIC OF THE FRONT PAD ON THE BLOCK SHOWING THE 5T HIPO STAMPING, I ALSO HAVE A PIC (EMAIL ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT, CAN ONLY POST 24) OF THE SIDE OF THE BLOCK SHOWING THE CASTING NUMBER 4006630-440-5 WITH A CAST DATE OF 1974.
I HAVE INCLUDED A PIC OF THE TRANSMISSION CASE NUMBER WHICH SHOWS IT TO BE THE CORRECT 833 MANUAL TRANSMISSION NUMBER WITH A BUILD DATE CORRESPONDING TO 1968 ACCORDING TO DECODE ON THE MOPAR 10000 DAY CALENDER (MOPARTS WEBSITE). THE DANA 60 REAR DOES NOT HAVE A DATE CODE I'M AWARE OF BUT I HAVE PROVIDED A PIC OF THE CASE TAG NOTING TO 'USE LIMITED SLIP DIFF LUBE ONLY' . I 'BELIEVE' (I DON'T WARRANTY IT), THAT THE TRANS AND DIFF ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR, THE ENGINE OBVIOUSLY IS NOT. THE RADIATOR HAS ORIGINAL MOPAR MARKINGS.
I HAVE DECODED THE FENDER TAG AND THE CASTING NUMBERS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY FROM VARIOUS WEBSITES. I DO NOT, WARRANTY THAT ALL INFORMATION IS CORRECT, I DO WARRANTY THAT THE PICS AND INFO I HAVE SUPPLIED ARE FROM THIS VEHICLE. I 'BELIEVE' IT IS PRETTY MUCH THE BULLITT CAR AS EQUIPPED (NOT 'THE' ACTUAL MOVIE CAR OBVIOUSLY).
THIS CHARGER WILL REQUIRE A FAIR AMOUNT OF METAL WORK, THERE ARE LOTS OF DENTS/DINGS/BRUISES. TRUNK PAN AND FLOOR PANS WILL NEED REPLACING IN ADDITION TO PASSENGER REAR QUARTER CERTAINLY. ROOF IS VERY DETERIORATED (LIKELY DUE TO THE VINYL TRAPPING MOISTURE) AND WILL NEED REPLACEMENT OR SUBSTANTIAL REHAB, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE REAR WINDOW (SEE CLOSE UP). THE FRONT GRILLE HAS BROKE/MISSING PIECES, HOOD FLEW UPON WHEN PREVIOUSLY OWNER DROVE IT HOME WITHOUT IT BEING LATCHED SECURELY SOTHAT IT IS CRUMPLED IN THE MIDDLE AND COMPLETELY UNUSABLE, IT CRACKED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IN SEVERAL PLACES. VEHICLE DOES START, RUN, MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (SUCKING FUEL FROM A CUSTOM ANTI FREEZE GAS JUG IN THE FRONT GRILLE SINCE THE MAIN TANK HAS A LARGE HOLE IN IT). RUNS ROUGH, OBVIOUSLY NEEDS A TUNEUP, I DID CHANGE THE PLUGS. ALL 4 WHEEL CYLINDERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT IT STILL LEAKING FROM THE FRONT RUBBER HOSES (WHICH I HAVE ALONG WITH A NEW MASTER CYLINDER). MEANING, NO, YOU CANNOT DRIVE IT!!!!!
THIS CHARGER ALSO, HAS MORE SOLIDIFIED ASPHALT DEBRIS IN THE FENDERWELLS THAN ANY CAR I'VE EVER SEEN! I DON'T KNOW IF THE FIRST OWNER WAS AN ASPHALT PILOT VEHICLE OR WHAT, BUT IT APPEARS HE LIKED TO DRIVE THROUGH THE STUFF, ALSO HAS LADDER BARS INSTALLED. HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK, NOT SURE IF ANY ELECTRONICS WORK. ODOMETER READS 17024, I WOULD TRUST IT'S ROLLED OVER. HAS BOTH DOOR GLASS PIECES PRESENT, MISSING THE SMALL PASS FORWARD VENT WIND GLASS. HURST SHIFTER ON THE FLOOR.

:iagree:
I'm getting my dad's truck ready to put up for sale. I'm asking half as much as the '76 . It's in better shape with a complete interior unlike the '76. My dad's is a 1983 Chevy Silverado 305 V8 Auto, PW, PS, PL, Tilt, Cruise, A/C. 8ft bed 2WD single cab two tone red/white with red interior. And yes the gas tank is located on the outer side of the LH frame rail.

This was a bullshit rumor that was disproven many times. In yet another example of the media MAKING news rather than REPORTING news, the dimwits at NBC did an "expose" in a DATELINE NBC" episode on the
dangers of side impacts of the 73-87 GM pickups. The could not get the trucks to explode on side impacts so they decided to rig the results. They unscrewed the gas caps to the point where they were barely sitting on the fill tube and rigged small rockets to the front of the cars that were colliding with the trucks. It was a blatant case of FAKE news, a habit these jerkoffs continue with to this day.
GM made MILLIONS of those trucks. I owned an 84 Chevy for 9 years and put over 300,000 miles on it with not a bit of worry over any safety "issue", real or fabricated.

The network TV video was faked. That doesn't prove there was nothing to the whole story.
Those trucks did have a gas tank leakage issue when hit in the side. The infamous Ford Pinto gas tank problem was killing much fewer people (per vehicle sold) than this one. Ford and Mopar had both considered putting truck tanks in that location and ruled against it for safety reasons. GM eventually agreed to give out a big rebate to any owners wanting to trade in those trucks.
Were those trucks "unsafe"? Matter of opinion. Lots of people have been rear-ended in Pintos without getting killed. Safety is probabilities and shades of gray.
Bottom line - gasoline tanks outside the frame is not considered a great design on any car or truck.
My 73 Dodge P/U had a gas tank inside (behind the seat). :Twocents:
QuoteMy 73 Dodge P/U had a gas tank inside (behind the seat).
That's what caused the issue. In the early 70s the Federal word came down "get those gas tanks out of the cab" (safety reasons) so Detroit had to figure out where else to put them. Ford & Mopar went inside the frame. GM tried side-saddle tanks to offer a longer range.
I agree that it was not an ideal design, I also feel that a mountain was fabricated from a molehill. Greedy people, greedy lawyers, etc...

Not a Charger but 16k for a 76 chevy truck ? https://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/d/oak-grove-1976-gmc-3-4-ton-4x4-truck/6829143028.html
If his 76 Truck is 16K, I hope I can get at least 6K for my 82 Dodge Step side. 318 auto. Very little rust on doors.
Any Takers ?
The 73-87 Chevy is a classic style that has really gained in popularity in the last few years. The short bed fleet side is commonly referred to as the "Short-Wide".
Not a Charger. People are out of their minds these days.

This is my first time posting here. I've owned mostly GM F-bodies and am looking to acquire my first Mopar. Seeing some of the asking prices out there I was beginning to think I was just a cheap bastard. After reading through this thread I'm glad to see there are others out there that also think some of the asking prices are outrageous. Especially people that own Mopars. Anyway, I did find this: https://www.cars-on-line.com/gen3-cars/col1/posting/88831
Perhaps this ad has been posted before. I don't think his price is delusional, but it seems like the ad is a bit vague. Or is it just me? Or as I said before, maybe I'm just being cheap.

If it's true to the add, I'd probably pay pretty close to the ask..... It is in Canada though, which is fine for me.

Mopars are expensive because they had low production numbers. There were only about 232,000 second-gen Dodge Chargers produced in 1968-70. Compare that to about 843,000 first-gen Camaros.
Mopars also rusted like crazy. The body tolerances were crappy and the paint finishes were no better.
And the repro parts industry basically didn't believe Mopars existed until the last decade or so. Seriously. In the Bush/Obama era they finally started reproducing parts that were needed back in the 1980s. (I don't mean obscure low-market stuff. I mean basic first-line stuff like plastic grilles, floor pans, dashpads, etc.)
TONS of Mopars were scrapped over the years because we had no decent affordable parts. Now the parts are finally here but it's too late for many of the cars that could have been restored.
So agree Mike DC I could have bought a 69 Charger back in the day for very cheap but I elected to buy a 73 because I could get "some" parts. There were no parts for the 69 and no internet to find them. I think the internet was what really started the resto craze. my :Twocents:

You forgot one.
In Chrysler Bailout 1.0 the government allowed Chrysler to write off all obsolete inventory at full value with the stipulation it was destroyed. Poof! All that was left was on the dealers shelves.
(The sheet metal was crushed. However, there was some slightly bent sheet metal popping up at swap meets for a while. )
I figured with the lower production numbers and the rust issues, prices would be higher. I've got no issue paying good money for a good car though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Dodge-Charger/273788989339?hash=item3fbf186f9b:g:DXwAAOSwd89cos60

For those that can't replace rusty the sheet metal on a car themselves and need to pay someone to do it and the cost of the sheet metal itself, buying a more solid base works out to be much cheaper, so 20K for a solid start isn't outrageous.
For another 6k you could have this car, much nicer although not as well optioned.

My thoughts? E bodies are nice to look at, but they suck to ride in.
No fender tag.
Even in this country (where classic US cars cost close to double the US cost) that is a laughable price..even with Paul Newman provenance. No fender tag, repainted a non original colour with rust bubbling through ! Any collector worth the name would want that exactly as PN ordered and collected it.....can't see it being north of £100,000 pounds.....and even that sounds a lot as I say it!
for $485,044 US you can get a really nice car like this one here (US) and get it shipped anywhere you want and save $200,000 :cheers:

I bought a blue version of this about a year ago just for display, paid maybe 25 bucks.. maybe I need to flip it!

I want this desk; I have 6 70 RT's in my garage and this would be a great addition.
I just had to move it to my garage. I put casters on it so I can move it around.
Who sells them ? (the desk that looks like a fake rear end) ??

is this a Jurassic Park "spared no expense" where every corner was cut?

I built the desk for my office. I cut a pair of rear quarters off my 70 Charger R/T that I got from California,they were too good to scrap,but not good enough to leave on the car,so I built the desk out of them.
So $21,000 gets you a 1968 Charger base model with rotted out frame rails.
I'm curious if the winning bidder realizes this because the eBay listing had a link for more pics of the under carriage at the bottom of the page. The seller doesn't go into detail of the frame rails in the eBay description. Just stated that there are pics of the under carriage in the link he/she provided. And the link is not a thumbnail, you had to do a copy & paste. Kinda sneaky if you ask me.
Here's the eBay sold link:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-Dodge-Charger-Base-/113796348448?_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l44720&nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=true
And here's the link for the more pics:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/705hr4z4vf1b782/AADLxgbiDjDdp4FkQnFhkk3Qa?dl=0
I've also attached a few pics of the frame rails below.
WOW-those frame rails and crossmember are rough!!
Very dishonest not to include the pic's on ebay.

That guy should research a little on how to better photograph a car. Cell phones have led many to believe that they have the skills to shoot pictures and sadly, very few do. Rarely ever should you shoot at noon or into the sunlight. Avoid glare from chrome. Always shoot in a horizontal aspect. You can still get decent pictures from a cell phone if you pay attention to lighting and shadows.
Our consignment package includes a sheet on how to photograph your car and I think its largely a waste of time because very few read it and even fewer follow the directions.

The RK car is very nice, but they severely screwed up the stripe which is a shame because that ruins the exterior of the car. Sadly, to correct that problem requires a repaint.
How many cars do RK (or Vanguard) actually sell at those prices?

Pictures taken like that to me, indicates the seller is hiding something. :Twocents:
That could be but I suspect that it is just a matter of a person that just doesn't know what they are doing.
Thats what I think too. Some are hiding things with their phots, no question about that at all, but I think a lot of people are also just crappy photographers.

Agree, I offered the car up as third party evidence that the other car was overpriced.
Personally, I like the original look of the cars but appreciate the performance enhancements of a restomod (which is how I did my 67). The RK motors car didn't stray too far from original on the exterior but I agree the wheels, stripe (and red on the back) detract. The "modern" interiors/customized interiors on the cars always look out of place. The only change I would do on the interior is the seats. I went 100% original but the seats are too flat, if I drive too fast on some corners I tend to slide out of the seats.

...and for $100k, you will have the car in a few months or up to a year later. Per the add, "With the vehicle being in Guatemala city, it will take a few months and up to a year to clear any paperwork and SAT/VAT/DMV fees and to coordinate the pick up and delivery of this car. It is not quick or cheap to cargo a car around the world but a $5,000 fee is included in the price to cover any location in the world."
So who is up for buying this car for $100k? Any inspection requires a trip to Guatemala.
looks like they came to their senses. Price dropped to $99,999.99 - now it's worth the gamble :2thumbs:

Exactly,'
Not every one wants , needs , or even cares about ' OE correct ' . At $35k for a decent looking 69 charger it could be a great driver for someone

Oh yeah nice car but it won't fetch 50k. Why would you spend that much when you could buy a 2nd gen for that amount of coin.
And if you're a 1st gen fanatic you could do way better with a lower costing candidate. Pretty hard to flip a 1st gen so buy one to drive and enjoy.

Limited use in the last 30 years and stored in a heated garage. Only options beside drivetrain are AM radio, clock, tinted glass. Car pulls hard but docile enough for in town driving. Needs a few minor things but you could drive this car to the west coast tomorrow. No trades, no texting, no internet offers. If ad is up, car is still available. $68,500. If you wish to discuss further or would like to inspect vehicle , email your phone number and I'll contact you. Thanks.

1968 Dodge Charger rear tail light assembly (2 sets)
$1,000.00
Description
I have a rare set of 1968 Dodge Charger tail light assemblies for sale and ready to restore. If you need them you know how hard they are to find. Very good shape but one has a broken piece (see photos). Will ship at purchasers expense but must be paid in full up front. Price is very firm. Had them for 30 years, no rush to let them go. Will only sell the lot or as pairs.
That 70 Charger....12k for what ? a rusted and busted ghost of what was a car. :brickwall:

THAT is the only thing you find odd?
Idiots with shitty spelling and grammar deficiencies will often write
needs restored instead of needs
to be restored. The same mouth breathers will write
truck floor instead of TRUNK floor.

$37,000 for a POS 383 2V 1969 Charger
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/d/fresno-1969-dodge-charger-e-b5-blue/7006572356.html
A lot of money to pay for something that needs lots of work.
Hello, I am selling my 1969 Dodge Charger S/E 383 automatic, 2 barrel, A/C, P/S, P/disc brake. This is a high option car, too many to list, here are a few: power windows, AM FM 8 track, and rear window defroster. This car is unrestored and well documented with 75,808 original miles. To see all the options, you can look at the data plate and built sheet which are provided in the pictures. There was three previous owners before me. The exterior color is B5 blue with a white vinyl top. The interior has blue seats, door panels, and carpet. I preformed service to make it driveable. Here is what I performed to get running: boiled out the radiator and gas tank, performed tune up with a new set of spark plugs, installed a new set of distributor points, a new distributor cap and condenser. I also adjusted the dwell and installed a new vacuum advance canister. Next, I changed out the engine and transmission oil and adjusted the transmission bands to their proper specifications. I also rebuilt the carburetor. The lighting system works except the turn signal switch needs to be replaced. Additionally, the gauges work except for the clock and fuel gauges. The temperature and oil pressure gauges read incorrectly. However, when I hooked up a manual gauge to the oil pressure cavity in the block, I read 48 PSI at a cold idle. The temperature gauge barely moves. Thus, I used my infrared thermometer and saw 180 degrees at the cooling system. The power window switches at the door where the driver sits function properly. The previous third owner was involved in an accidents at the passenger door area. I replaced the passenger door with a power window door from a 1968 Charger. I had to drill the top of the door for proper placement of the door lock. Next, the auto body company: Louis frame and wheels installed the rear quarter from the center of wheel well with the lower rocker to the front opening of door. I used the original sheet metal from another car. (No reproduction parts used.)They also use metal strips to patch the rear windows to eliminated the rust that was in that area. I prepped the area by getting the body lines as straight as possible then shot epoxgy primer on the sheet metal for protection. The only rust is at the driver floor pan not near the mounting bolts for the gas pedal. Which is minute. There are 4 pens hole in passenger floor. Trunk pan has very minute rust in the center of pan The drive train when suspended on jack stands had no vibrations in the drive line. This Charger runs and drives nicely and the oil barely seeps at the transmission area. The stainless steel pieces, kick panel, a/c hoses,gas pedal,air filter housing,ash tray original spare tire and extra parts are in trunk. I described this vehicle to the best of my ability and have nothing to hide. See pictures below for clarification, they speak for them selves.

Minute has two different pronunciations and two different meanings.
I think his statement means for a small area, minute (my-nute).
However his listing is lacking some serious grammar. And check this out:

Your right. Hood is garbage. The only good parts are R/T doors and the R/T taillights. That's it.
I'll bet even the doors are garbage with the amount of rot on the rest of the car. Total loss. Even if it was a 71 Hemi Charger it would be questionable to restore.

Congrats on the sale.....assuming they did sell. If so, your neighbors must be thrilled with the thought of having to have those two eyesores gone. The added benefit is that you'll bring everyone's property values up and judging by the surrounding homes, it looks like you live in a decent neighborhood. Now, if I were in your shoes, I'd take the dough, cut that old tree down and invest in a real driveway to bring the home's value up even higher. A new railing, some paint & spiffing up the front of the house wouldn't hurt either.

Congrats on the sale.....assuming they did sell. If so, your neighbors must be thrilled with the thought of having to have those two eyesores gone. The added benefit is that you'll bring everyone's property values up and judging by the surrounding homes, it looks like you live in a decent neighborhood. Now, if I were in your shoes, I'd take the dough, cut that old tree down and invest in a real driveway to bring the home's value up even higher. A new railing, some paint & spiffing up the front of the house wouldn't hurt either.

Zero Chance that sold for 13K. Based on previous sales of 71/72 Chargers (to include RT's ) combined with its unrestorable condition.

Its easy for Mytur Binsdirti to speak his mind banging on the key board, but he would not get always with his comments talking to people face to face.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the 32 grand mentioned was for wingcareny's 69 RT/SE, not the pair of 3rd gens.
Somebody is getting old.

Well, that all depends how well I know a person to say that face to face. If I knew a person well, I'd certainly say those things to them versus saying those things to a complete stranger that I just met. HOWEVER, when someone puts it out on the interwebs for all to see, it's a completely different story. This entire thread is 112 pages of picking other people's property apart, so what's the problem with my little post.....all I did was tell the truth and give some sound advice.
That said, who can disagree with these four simple facts.....
Do the surrounding houses make the area look like it's a decent neighborhood?
When those two cars (eyesores) are gone do you think that the neighbors be pleased?
Will cutting down the tree, getting new driveway, & doing some other improvements on the property make the overall look of the neighborhood look better?
If the house across the street or on either side of the green house, were for sale, will the value of those houses be higher or not without the two cars cars in question and some property improvements?
Of course I know that you know that I'm right because I am right. Right? ;)
I guess a man has to keep his options open,if you decide you have had enough of the ups and downs of your career, you can venture into real estate consulting, or some kind of Psychotherapy! Lol Dr. Binsdirti has a nice ring to it........MAKE THE RINGING STOP!.......i'm ok now!

You can say the same about me. That is fine. I have no time for sullen boreholes that have no ability to take a joke. I usually get a feel for who can take a joke or an insult before letting the sparks fly. I'm guessing that he does too.

It was meant for the rusty 69 Charger in California. I guess you missed the item number mentioned in the post.

I wouldn't have admitted to having a car in this thread. It is like standing up in front of people and saying I am a greedy, delusional assclown.
Lol. I've been "featured" in this thread...I think it's funny. Especially when the car sold for what I had it listed for. But to say that anyone featured in this thread is a greedy, delusional a$$clown is pretty delusional of you. Perhaps my car's buyer was the only guy in the world who would pay that much (I doubt it) but he set/paid "market value" for the car. Since we are using real estate analogies, wouldn't you do the same when you list/sell your house...You would want to sell it for as much as possible because you only need that one buyer. There's always going to be a bunch of dorks who would "never pay that much for that house" but who cares...they don't need to buy my "house". Would I pay that much for the car....absolutely not. Im too cheap. As we all know, To get a good deal you really have to work hard to find a charger before anyone else does...our investment is made in time/effort and not in dollars.
If you're going to give a good deal to a friend (I've done that) then so be it but that's not market value. It just means you are willing to subsidize the cost because of your relationship. If you're not selling to a friend, the majority of people want to maximize sale price. If you're going to sell a 2nd gen charger to the masses, prices will be high.
This thread is one of my favorites!
I had my 70 Charger R / T V code car listed for sale, and set my price, and I did some repair and clean up work to the areas of the car that needed attention. It is a California car, but it still had some Charger rust that needed to be tended to. Once I set the price, I decided that it was the number, and not one dime less would buy the car. With the worke I got done the car was really starting to look good! One night after drinking a bunch of beers, and watching an episode of Roadkill, I completely lost my mind, and decided that I am going to put a driveline that I have slated for another project in the car,and drive the dam car. I have to say,I like the way they just make cars run,and hit the road,those guys rock! Maybe I will regret not selling the car during the peak of the market, but when the Six pack is open and I am rowing through the gears with the pistol grip handle in my hand, I will forget all about the market value of the car!
Would never sell mine.
Ever

Not every car posted in this thread is overpriced. Also, What you think is reasonable may seem like too much to me. My responses are often meant to be silly, over-the-top or exaggerated. Ever heard of sarcasm ? Humor ?

Sounds like your frustrated because you cant afford a second generation Charger. I finish with a final thought. Show me what 20k buys you in the real world of second generation chargers. Not 318 cars and not rusted frame rails or floor pans and not pieced together stuff that wont drive onto a trailer and not a VIN and a title in an envelope. Real cars with real sale prices. Id love to see what you come up with. And don't post stories about your buddy that found one in a driveway where the person didn't know what they had. A real sale.

Actually it proves my point. He got "deal" on a crashed, rusty, shell of a 383/2 barrel Charger. Good on him. I bet with another 5-7 grand of bro deals he will have a running driver Charger. He of all people should see the value in a good car but someone comes on here and offers their assessment of my car without looking at it and instantly everyone assumes the worst. The real beef i had was with the other clown offering his assessment of clapped out beach cars. Barfdog jumped onboard with his really sweet comments and away we go. When he gets called out he instantly jumps to the defense of "oh i was just joking and if you cant take a joke well then f you." So if he was joking then great. Ill ask him in person the next time i see him at spring fling.

What happened to 32k ?
"This thing is by no means rusty."......on what planet is that?....virtually every shot shows pretty serious rust or holes. Holes are right through the metal a pretty much a good sign of pretty severe rust!...LOL... And describing the trunk floor rust that you can nearly see through as minor? REALLY....Glad to see that he at least has sense of humour!! It it was not an RT-SE (assuming it is...not a lot of proof but I will say it is in this instance) it would not be worth half that...even in the UK where they cost loads more. Its probably JUST about worth what its reached now...but obviously it will go higher.
Will be interesting to see where it tops out at on ebay

Stuart, Fix that RR first and your other toys. :Twocents:
That black 69 asking 32k is an absolute joke!
The owner is on here, he has posted it in the for sale section. Absolute delusional.
He has dropped it down to 29K, i was looking at it the other day, and im sorry to say, i feel dirty just looking at the inside, you would never get me to sit inside that car no matter what situation i was put in.
You want to ask strong money for it, at least be strong enough to clean it up a bit for F sake.
Fella im sorry you need a reality check. 20k is more then generous enough for your 69. I honestly believe the market is becoming ruined by sellers like himself trying to palm there car off at 2-3x what its worth and driving the rest of the market up too with there, sorry but junk.
29-30k for that. Just lol.
If the owner actually reads this, i just looked at your black 69 again and jees, by no means rust. . LOOK! the car is riddled with bloody cancer, look at the inside too, who the hell would sit in that, bloody contract almost every disease known to man. That is friggin gross. Jesus.

You want to ask strong money for it, at least be strong enough to clean it up a bit for F sake.
Fella im sorry you need a reality check. 20k is more then generous enough for your 69. I honestly believe the market is becoming ruined by sellers like himself trying to palm there car off at 2-3x what its worth and driving the rest of the market up too with there, sorry but junk.
29-30k for that. Just lol.

If the owner actually reads this, i just looked at your black 69 again and jees, by no means rust. . LOOK! the car is riddled with bloody cancer, look at the inside too, who the hell would sit in that, bloody contract almost every disease known to man. That is friggin gross. Jesus.
Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel. :lol:
hahaha i actually had to delete some of my response and on top of that reword a fair bit. Dont want to get banned.
But in all honesty, 32k is strong money for that 69, and the thing i find worst then the rust, is how i feel when i looked inside the car and actually thought, how in the hell can someone daily drive that, living in absolute putrid and filth. May aswell keep wearing the same undies and socks 365 days of the year. It is that bad. Made me feel disgusting and i had to take a shower everytime i looked at the inside pics.
Would it really have hurt that much, to vaccuum the car out prior to taking the photos. Buying new seat covers, and maybe wiping down the inside, dash etc, trying to polish it up a little .?
The floor looks like it has probably bitten off finger nails flicked down, is on par with someone who smokes in there car too id imagine.
Anyways, said my share. ONto the next.,

I look at a lot of real estate photos. Some people think it's fine to list their home for sale with the toilet seat up and a halo of pee overspray around it on the floor.
I am not one to brag. I joke a lot and poke fun but I am not one to boast about how great I am or what I have.
I have had some success in life and some setbacks. I am not a big player in this hobby, just a working guy that loves these cars. When I see people post ads for cars that need every metal panel replaced and claim that it is a "Solid builder" or "Not very rusty" it makes me question their sanity. This thread is based on that very thing.
I am fully aware that they made all of these cars that they ever will and that the ones that remain are growing in value. That is fine but the ads that get my respect are the ones that show the warts, the damage, the rust and admit that it is a car that is NOT for the beginner.
Yeah, I have 2 Chargers. I didn't scrimp and save to buy either one. The first was in 2000 when the values were still relatively cheap. This project car was bought with money from selling various car parts I already had. The only rust in the latest one is in the center of the trunk and a tiny spot at the lower right corner of the rear window.
ALL the structural damage of the car is being fixed with stuff that I already had here. I sometimes get people calling me to either buy or just take their piles of parts. Most of the time it is worth very little, sometimes I get lucky.
The XH '70 I just bought was a fair deal. Sure, it isn't an R/T model but all 68-70 Chargers are desireable at this time. Once the front clip is replaced, according to the crazy asking prices I've seen, it could actually get responses if I advertised it for $10,000. Body complete, grille, original engine, disc brakes and all in restoreable shape. I don't plan to sell it at the moment. I can have this running with pretty much what I have here at my place aside from a few store bought items.
I don't see these cars as my way to get rich. I am also not one to wait and deal with 20 people before making a sale. Even when I sell at swap meets, I price my stuff in the middle of the current value because that is what I try to find when I am buying.
Just need some mag 500s on your red 70 :2thumbs:
$20K would more than likely drive mine home. 440, 4 speed, 3:90 sure grip. Not a real R/T but it looks, drives and runs good.

The carpet is junk and falling apart so yeah I don't really care about it because its hell to vacuum. The reality is, you nor anyone else, will find a real driver Charger R/T for that generous 20K. So, really you are just spewing hot air. Thanks for the advice. I guess I am blown away at how rude people are in general. I come to to this forum to find like minded folks and have some camaraderie about the cars we love. You don't know anything about me yet you judge me and freely spew profane rude comments.

Mate . I bought my 68 true RT car for a few g more than your 32k asking price and its honestly show room condition.
And this was only last year
So yes your 32k asking price is a joke.
"My street and neighbors are under construction so stuff gets dirty". Your neighbors are under construction ??. Dude you live in that nasty thing. A daily driver ? Yeah right, from soup kitchen to soup kitchen. :hah:
It is a hard thing to admit that you are wrong about something when you were SO certain that you had it right.
I have been there many times. It sucks.
I have had some cars listed on ebay with reserve prices that I thought were reasonable. Some ran past the reserve by thousands but a few didn't come close. That stings. You think your pricing is fair but the market disagrees.
That black Charger is rough but restoreable. I think that his price is about double what the fair value is but that is just my opinion. Will the market agree with me or not?

Well. I don't know where you are but this is america and in america i get to ask my asking price. My price is now 29k. I don't consider you an expert so your opinion doesn't matter to me. So let facts back up your position. Show me another 69 R/T SE Charger for sale in like condition for less. You cant thats why you keep calling me names.
How can one tell if a 69 Charger is a true R/T SE without a build sheet or fender tag? I realize an R/T would have the XS vin, and an SE usually has power windows, a wood grain dash bezel along with the SE sail panel emblem. Things can be moved to other cars in 50 years worth of time. I would think if someone were to invest $30K in a car to restore, it would be very important to have documentation that the car was an SE to make the investment make sense from a financial standpoint. Once it is restored and shiny, what will distinguish it from another regular R/T and make it worth more? How could you tell that the SE equipment wasn't moved from another car? How would you tell it is a factory black paint car once it is restored? I would also think that it would be important to have a 69 HP engine to go back in the car to bring big money since the original block is gone. To me, and probably to many others, it would make sense to buy a nicer car for $30-$40k. I think a nice non numbers matching R/T driver could be had for $30-$40k. This one needs a lot of money thrown at it to restore it. In the end, will the car be worth the investment after a restoration since it isn't a numbers matching documented car? A guy could conceivably have $70k invested in the car after a nice restoration I would think. Will it be worth that with the important pieces and documents missing? If this were a documented numbers matching car, maybe it brings $30k easier. I hope it does bring $30K. Good luck with the sale.
You make good points, John.
If you're going to dump thousands into a car that is advertised to be something, you really do need the proper documentation. Fender tags missing on a 318 car? No biggie but it matters a LOT on a loaded R/T.

Yea im by no means an expert, i am learning every day, but i do have a good idea on the charger market both in OZ and the USA seeing as i bought mine in from the USA.
I could link you to a lot of 69s for sale that are only 20k more that are in way better condition. Yours is going to need 50 plus K dumped into it, so that brings it to an 80K car.
Want me to link you to 69s for sale that are way less than what your one would cost to restore correctly.
and i wouldnt even consider yours even in condition. Its crusty and rusty that would need a hell of a lot of work and money to even get looking nice.

Really not sure what they are actually worth. A low dollar starting point and no-reserve would reveal their worth. They would be best served as parts cars. There is value in a parts car. They can't all be saved and its virtuous to use a parts car to save a more suitable candidate. That all being said, these cars are way overpriced!

Wonder if there is any other way to verify it's an R/T
"SE" with no Fender Tag or Broadcast Sheet ?
Yep, pull the inner sail panels, and check where the sail panel emblems bolt up. Standard Chargers have two holes about 9 inches apart,SE models have two mounting holes very close together ,right next to the lower corner of the rear quarter side windows.

That's how I figured out that mine is an SE.

Yeah, I guess that's works ?
just say'in though....
not really any way to "document" the Car as a true R/T
SE ? I mean being an "XS" VIN is fine as a real R/T example ? with the body VIN stampings to corroborate ?
but I think given the....
NON-Fender Tag,
NON-Broadcast Sheet,
NON-Numbers Matching Engine/Trans etc., etc.
that realistically there is very little collector valuation for any potential purchaser anyways ? beyond "2 Holes" closer together in a sail panel ?
Just me here, but I think the market is speaking and mid 20's USD may be fair valuation ?

No CC or PW, had air, woodgrain dash and leather seats. It was like 30 years ago that I swapped interiors and back then I wasn't as knowledgable about Charger packages so had no clue till about ten years ago

SUPER BEE 1970 - Super driveabe Hotrod
$95,000.00
What a salesman this guy is
I asked a couple questions just to see if I could find out what colour of green paint they used
all I got back was
Call only if you are financially qualified.
Don't think he will get many calls
Yes $95000 is in Canadian money

Yes a good driver 318 Charger should be around the $20,000-$22,000 range. But for it not to require a paint job and not having to do an interior overhaul your reaching the 30k range.
Found this site yesterday, while tracking down a 67 J code Charger that was way underpriced.
US Classifieds 4 all......
all the prices seem delusional....

Too bad somebody wanting a charger can find a barn find.
And a 70 purple 6 pack all fixed up for $22 000 ?

I think that they are both scams!

The numbers are correct. 68's used the sequence number (as seen in the bottom right of the fender tag) when stamping the body. On this particular car it doesn't matter if they match or don't match.

Kind of off topic, but is that generally how AMD metal wants to line up? Or is that just piss poor workmanship? If that is how it lines up, what does one do to make it right? Cut and resection/reshape the quarter to fit the corner, or hack up the corner to fit the quarter; a little bit of both? I've never done this kind of body work before, and likely will have to learn how on my new project Charger, but I don't want it to end up looking like that one.
Looks like somebody didn't know how the rear went together.

all body panels need a certain amount of work to make them fit properly ,
genuine OEM & aftermarket / repop stuff to a greater or lesser extent & some / most aftermarket need the most work to make then fit the best , although it all depends whos doing the work to how good the finished result is !
the problem we are seeing should not even have got that far it was /is a simple fix to the lower rear quarter & lower rear valance corners, I cant understand why something so simple to sort out has been left , seeing as all the other work they have done going by the pictures appears to be ok /good enough

Crazy :yesnod:
Look at all the different panels coming together that can screw up the fit of the corner caps:
- Trunkfloor.
- Side dropoffs that connect to the quarter skins.
- Quarter skins.
- Rear subframe rail cross brace.
- Rear valance.
- Taillight panel.
Most of this repro stuff isn't exactly right. Tolerances stack up and minor misfits become major ones.
-----------------------------
I've said it before: We should have a permanent thread for problems with repro panels.
There won't be total agreement on everything. But it would help to have all that talk logged in one convenient place.

This seems to be an obvious fix. Attach the corner to the quarter first and all the other stuff, then the rear valence. Would that work??
i think it looks like they had heard the lower corner parts do not fit well and when they got to that part none of it really fit so they just left it and blamed it on the bad corner part
They also say in their description this car was done to high light what they can do for you and have had it sitting around as a display car for 2 years
Seems to me that a little old fashioned panel bending (not cut and section) and welding would get those quarter to corners to look right. Also put the quarter end pieces on, adjust/ tweak the decklid and all would probably be fine
Not saying the thing isn't overpriced though :eek2:
There was a thread a few years ago where somebody was putting a quarter skin on a pretty original solid car. The original corner cap & valance were still in place.
The guy DID need to cut a narrow wedge-shaped sliver out of the repro quarter to make it fit the corner cap. The piece removed was significant, like 1/2" wide at the bottom. It narrowed to a point at the first body line up (near the top of the corner cap).
This is the sort of stuff that we should be keeping track of.

Listing actually claims 3,000 plus hours for body work alone. Seems pretty excessive unless the car was swiss cheese to start with.
I don't have skills or time to do my own work but had the pleasure of paying for a full restoration which was extensive but body work was not excessive - think the total hours were 1,300-1,500 - body work was probably 700ish hours - somewhat higher due to RMS suspension, and modern power train. Can't see how 3,000 hours of bodywork is possible
Bunch of pictures here of my restoration - some metal work but about 20-25% of the total hours claimed by this ebay listing so can't see 3,000 hours of body work

3000 hours would $300000 or more.

Even if this was a Rallye BB 4 speed survivor it would be hard to fetch that asking price.
But it's a 318 SE model. Seller has the 5th & 7th characters in the VIN listed as a 6 but both the 5th & 7th characters call for a letter which would be "G"s since they look like sixes. 5th character being a G = 318. 7th character being a "G" = St Louis.
Seller's asking way too much.

'71 Super Bees could have the "R/T" (Charger 500 and '72 Rallye) tail lights if opted for the "A54" urethane painted bumper package, but then it wouldn't have the concealed headlights. It could have the optional concealed headlights if not ordered with "A54". It would have the "R/T" side stripes unless ordered as "stripe delete" (V68) The stripes were not exclusive to the R/T. They were standard on R/T AND Super Bee and were only absent if ordered "V68" stripe delete. Yes, the louvered insert is wrong for the Bee. That is exclusive to the R/T! It should have the fiberglass insert with the call-outs on it.

Yeah, I noticed that. No side markers either. I'd be very concerned about the hidden rust under all that mud, and I'm not a fan of that color at all. Just what is a COVID19 price? Extra high?

And do the body lines look "too sharp"?
"100% rust free body and frame, body and paint are done professionally!"Yeah whatever, blah blah blah. Then why did you smooth over the valance corners?

Hood pin holes on the hood seem to be close together

Hood pin holes on the hood seem to be close together
Why people put hood pins on a 68/69 Chargers is beyond me. They look like crap. No need for them unless you don't have a safety hook. And if you don't have a safety hook, get one. Remove the safety hook while working under the hood, it's just only 2 bolts. Or put a tennis ball over it. Or deal with the head gashes.
Okay I'm done venting, carry on.

This one is pretty rotten topside, and as close to the ground as it is I would imagine most of the underside is gone as well.

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.

Nah, western WA and nowhere close to the ocean. Probably needs trunk and quarter patches
The '68 has been dropped to 14k - maybe not so delusional anymore, given the current market.

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

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

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

Without a drivetrain?
Quote from: Wakko on April 19, 2020, 05:21:43 AM
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
Never seen a headrest with this kind of a dent in it. Must have been stored with something heavy on to of it.
(https://images.craigslist.org/00W0W_aqvUb4qZoih_600x450.jpg)
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.

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

There definitely are some deals left out there. I think your '70 was a better car than mine but I gave $3,000 for this back in '16. Mine needed a quarter panel replacement and some more metal work. It seems like people hide these Charger projects out well. The key is finding one before they get advertised.

I put this on here ages ago... you would think that having been on ebay on and off for well over a year...at the same price ...and having not sold it he might have thought about reducing it...its not everyones cup of tea and a mix of 68 and 69 parts does not help....I don't see it at a penny over £50,000...even at the silly prices they sell for in Europe!! Having a 1979 T number plate rather than an age related one (which would end in G) puts me off too!

Engine bay hasn't even been touched, neither has the motor. Wire hanging down onto the driver's floor. Looks like it was just given a quick paint job and he's the one trying to flip it.
I thought 1971 was the last year for the Charger Super Bee?
Maybe that's why it will cost so much its one of none, made.
The white engine bay aside it doesn't look horriable. That being said, no one is gonna pay $50,000 for it.

As well as bypassed heat and A/C incorrect seats etc etc. For 100K I would really think working A/C & heat a must but What do I know.
Manual Transmission my arse. Any older car can be equipped the A/C for around 2k. Heat 500.00.
Seats.. Who cares..They were horrible back then. Does anyone enjoy their car when its lower than 32 or higher than 90 degrees plus? NOT ME. :Twocents:
That' s my point. Someone asking 100k for a car the $2500 cost for A/C and heat should be included. I drive mine year round so when it's under 32 having heat is great. Drove her yesterday and it was 85 out. Was real nice with the A/C on.
Who waits until it's 90° out to turn on the AC? I'd be like :flame: :flame: :flame:

Quite the ebay listing. Car is claimed to be 99% original - except the paint, wheels, shifter, plus..... In one spot it is a manual transition, but an automatic elsewhere. No VIN but RS badging on the car. Wonder if the RS badging is included in the 99% original or the 1% non-original.
Car seems to be 2.5-3 times the market value.
Generals are a limited market. But it should have completed it if that was the direction. A trans shield, steering collar, better gauge faces, working A/C and then push bar, graphics, CB and advertise it as maybe
the last chance to get a General Lee before it is illegal! A less informed buyer may miss the other issues just to get a General Lee before its too late.

Yeah WRONG. Freedom of speech and religion will never go away in the USA.
I think the time of the orange General has come and gone
Most owners feel they are worth just a bit more than other Chargers because of the paint
There are a couple orange Chargers around my part of the world that do not seem to be selling at the " I am better than you because I am a General price "
I am almost thinking the orange General will be selling at less than premium prices soon
With the grief that may or may not come with owning such a car why not just avoid it all and buy one that is a different colour ??

Generals are a limited market. But it should have completed it if that was the direction. A trans shield, steering collar, better gauge faces, working A/C and then push bar, graphics, CB and advertise it as maybe
the last chance to get a General Lee before it is illegal! A less informed buyer may miss the other issues just to get a General Lee before its too late.
Yeah WRONG. Freedom of speech and religion will never go away in the USA.
It wasn't political, I wrote "the last chance..." part as a way to produce a possible quick sale. A way to get people thinking they need something that might not be available soon just like toilet paper a few months ago.
But since you brought it up. I don't know what state your from but sadly I believe you are wrong about freedom of speech and religion. Until recently we were not allowed to go to church but you could play golf. You can wear Antifa masks or shirts at Walmart but not Nazi masks even though both represent bad ideas. A year ago I would not have believed the freedoms that have been lost this year could happen so easily.

I think your probably right about the Generals day has come and gone. But I still see overpriced Generals selling higher than 69's of the same quality.
Given what I listed as quick improvements especially working A/C with those changes I would not be surprised to see the car we are discussing sell within 7 to 10k of
the current asking price. I have seen two really bad rusty Generals sell above 40 and 50k in the last two years.

You choose to pick only one part of what I wrote to incorrectly make it a point about comparing Antifa to the Nazis. Which is out of the context of what I have written and misses the point about free speech. I had assumed all had seen on the internet recently about Walmart and the couple wearing Nazi masks and then following posts with people wearing the Antifa masks and shirts at Walmart's. If there was true free speech both would have to be given equal tolerance was the point. Free speech is not picking and choosing who gets it and who does not. Also no need to post pictures of Nazi war atrocities on a car site as a military collector I know any photo you find on the internet to post here is tame compared to a lot of what happened during WW2.

I like free speech too. But this one is not a free speech issue. Walmart is a private corporation. Their store = their rules. It's not surprising that their PR department would rate Antifa as less offensive than Nazis.
I'm sorry if I came off as abusive. I've heard a lot of wild comparisons being made about Antifa lately (in real life and in the media in general) and maybe I boiled over at the wrong person.
Back to people selling Chargers for crazy money.....

Both antifa and the NAZI party started out with the exact same tactics. Minor group of people with a crazy radical idea and a scapegoat to split a nation in 2. What's happening today with antifa and what the NAZI party did in the 1920s and early 30s is no different. Violent protests, riots, destroying history, etc. I had relatives that were exterminated by the Einsatzgruppen due in part by the same ideology that is fueling the BLM and antifa. We will see how things go after the November elections if you should be worried about things getting better or worse.
I'm not gonna touch this one any further.

80k for a 1969 GL replica and more than likely a fake add to boot.
That guy's spelling and grammar is as bad as many guys that post in these forums! Car signed by roscoe and bow ??? You mean "Rosco and Bo" ??
In the real world and lets say they still had the original 4 spd trans out back, what is a realistic asking price for this 69 RT?
https://www.gatewayclassiccars.com/LVS/299/1969-Dodge-Charger-R-T
I want something equally as nice, but need to know what a real value is. Unless... $116k is realistic?
Im not too up on USA Charger prices (they are extortionate here!)......but just based on the cars ive seen on this forum and US classic car sites you should be able to by a car like that for rather less....perhaps 75k or maybe less. I wonder how Gateway keep going with there outrageous pricing policy.....but they must sell them as they have been there a while.

That is what they are asking for. It's crazy high for an RT even with a newer transmission.
A lot of issues can be hidden under all that nice and shiny paint. I'd be wsnting to see the before during and after restoration pics of that car to fork over that kind of cash. I'd say the car being an RT would be priced about 35k to 45k too high but thats just me.

I have not seen many chargers sell on E-bay for that kind of money. :Twocents:
Classic car dealers like Gateway always jack up the prices by at least 20% over Ebay/Craig prices, if not more. It's safe to assume it by default. Their customers are paying more for an easier buying experience.
Many of their buyers are overseas. Some are local but just too rich to deal with PITA sellers. Buying from a classic car dealership means they can trust that the car exists. It's legally for sale and they will legally get it. It's probably not TOO MUCH worse than it was described & photographed. This stuff is valuable to people who have more money than time. They don't want to spend months looking and making wasted trips.

32K for this hoopty :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:
Just because you have a vision and dumped tons of money into that vision doesn't mean someone else will pay your high asking price.
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/shingle-springs-72-dodge-charger-custom/7187108157.html
Actually it's $35k for that hoopty.
It looks like a nice car after you do some cleanup work. Rechrome the bumpers, get the tailpipes off the rear valance, toss the AutoZone braided hoses, etc. The general fit & finish looks good. It doesn't appear to be slammed together for the sale.
But he's asking a 2nd-gen price for a 3rd-gen. Not gonna happen.
Personally I don't like the look but if someone does I don't think that's a lot of money
You can spend that on paint and bodywork :shruggy:
Putting aside that it's not your taste what would be a reasonable price considering the amount of money that's been invested?

It doesn't matter what was invested. It only matters what the market value is.
You could pay a good resto shop to do $30k worth of work on a 1985 Corolla. It still won't sell for much.
I see 1980s Camaro/Firebird guys running into this. Some of them have spent serious money restoring & building up those cars into pro touring machines. But there is still a rock-hard price ceiling. People won't pay classic musclecar money for a Hasselhoff-era car regardless of what has been done to it.

I watched a 2nd gen charger on a site that wouldn't sell it sat there for some time eventually it sold, the seller never dropped the price. In sales opinion doesn't matter there's a market for everything, like when you see that perfect house then there's a bidding war
the winner usually pays more then what it's worth but their happy. I've paid for things above market and you may have as well.
All I'm saying is that Chargers price doesn't seem outrageous and if that's what I was looking for I'd buy it.
Once on classic cars.com there was a over accessorized 72 roadrunner the ad said none numbers matching but who the hell
cares look at it, the price was mid 30,000 at the time maybe 10yrs ago when I checked back someone brought it.
The roadrunner went quick the charger took a little longer but they both sold at asking price.
For professional collectors it's a different story your correct Barrett Jackson is evidence of such.

Ah. Your ad is a legitimate sale for $120K US. The ad I posted for 50K Canadian Dollars is a scam.
A guy I work with had owned this one for several years:
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1064190437400811/
He sold it a couple of months ago for $22,500 if I remember correctly. :Twocents:
When he sold it, the quarter panel skins were expertly attached with sheet metal screws and pop rivets. :misbehaving:
Now, the new owner wants $40,000.
Well I guess they did not say it had original 1/4s on it but maybe implied saying it came from New Mexico ?
1969 dodge charger. Original 383/727 have everything for it (chrome/ rubber seals reflecters) needs a few things done to be ready for paint. Runs and drives good just put a new edlebrock carb on it(still have the original) car was built in St. Louis MO so it was undecorated from the factory. Lived most of its life in new Mexico (have registrations from 80s and 90s) has new tires all the way around. NOT AN RT someone just put that on there b4 I bought the car. NO TRADES! $40,000 takes it home. I dont have to sell so no low ballers please.

Only a stupid asshole would pay that.
I think my favorite part of that one is the "braced for restoration" part...the tail panel looks like it's sagging a good 8-10" from where it should be :eek2:
Would I be correct that it is also an air conditioned car? A little high and money pit for sure, but that might not be that crazy of a price if is really all matching numbers and there is a fender tag and build sheet proving RT/SE and a Mr. Norms car. It would have been better to get it before they started cutting it up. It would likely have already been sold if was still all assembled with 5k of new parts.
A car in that condition is not worth even half of that. Other cars have to be cut up or parted out to save that one and parts cost money. Labor costs money. Even doing all the work yourself, that car is a HUGE money pit for anyone stupid enough to buy it. The ONLY reason I can imagine for building this car is if it matches a car one had when they were young and they want to relive their glory days. Be ready to keep writing checks because it isn't just what you see that costs money, it is all the hidden missing pieces that are not reproduced.

That car comes with a lot more parts beyond what's showing in the pic of the shell. There are boxes of parts in the other pics. Engine, seats, dash cluster, etc. It looks like it was a complete car when he started tearing it down.
There are people who bring back 318 or 383 Chargers that are in this shape. The reality of it is that it will cost almost the same to restore this one vs one without the pedigree claimed.
The difference of course is that he is asking 20K for this hulk.

If the parts in the boxes look as bad as the rusted shell, they are just as worthless.

Yes that is an air conditioning firewall with the big hole for the fan motor
QuoteIf the parts in the boxes look as bad as the rusted shell, they are just as worthless.
And yet if the car was still assembled then the project would sell for a lot more. Because it still makes a big difference to have all those parts, even in worn out condition.
I'm not saying the project is worth $20k. I'm just saying it's worth more than the pic of the shell alone.
Yeah, I agree there.
Sometimes, the cars that are rusted to the roof still have interior parts that can be restored. The dry, desert cars often have wasted interiors!
A fender tag and broadcast sheet would go a long way toward helping this one out, but no mention of them.
I love seeing that R/T SE asking $20K, and even better if people here agree it may be worth only half that much...... if that ?
So in your opinion.....
if that R/T SE with all the parts etc in boxes is a fair deal at say "maybe" $10K ? because it's a Charger R/T SE ....
Plus the restoration $$$$$ ?
Plus unsure if there even is a Fender Tag or B-Sheet ?
Then....
what's this R/T SE survivor worth ? all original sheet metal, VIN stampings,, #'s matching drivetrain and most all Parts, un-restored, un-rebuilt and unchanged same as when delivered new with it's Fender tag and B-Sheet (verifiable same-same) and still running well ?
Yep.... Exhaust is still original.... window felts/rubbers all still perfect, even the damn buzzer still sounds if you leave the headlights ON and turn the engine OFF ?
Because we couldn't get diddly for this one when we tried ?
IMO, delusional valuation disconnect !

Nov 1968 build, Headrests didn't become std equipment until Jan/69.
If worth $45K ? That sorta highlights my point around the other R/T SE we were discussing that might be a 'fair deal' somewhere ~$10K ? because given the restoration costs I just don't think anyone would ever be done & finished under another $75+K..... and we're still not sure about Fender Tag/Broadcast Sheet ? etc., nor provenance/lineage/pedigree ?
My point being....
I believe there still may remain somewhat of a
DISCONNECT in market valuations between what people buy complete wrecks for ? with the intent of then 'restoring' and those costs associated ?
and,
what can be purchased within the marketplace already done/finished or in this case still 'surviving' in original well maintained condition and provenance back to brand new, running well with NO issues ?
and yes... completely rust free.

USN Fighter Pilot(still alive) bought it brand new in San Diego, maintained it meticulously until late 70's.... then Sold it, but then subsequently only logged 8,000 more miles on the Odometer between 1983 and 2013 when I found it.

I think there is a disconnect with reality in this thread. That survivor '69 RT/SE will sell for $60-70k all day long.

So.... gotta believe in fate, it will stay in the family and get handed down, and I've made arrangements both personal and financial so that can happen

Beautiful car! Where are the headrests?
If completely rust free- $45k? :scratchchin:
Nov 1968 build, Headrests didn't become std equipment until Jan/69.
If worth $45K ?
I think there is a disconnect with reality in this thread. That survivor '69 RT/SE will sell for $60-70k all day long.
HAH !
I wish.... we couldn't even get an Offer of $50K last time back when we tried !
Gotta believe in fate I guess ?
So it'll stay in the family....and I've made arrangements so that can happen.
Again, my only point being..... the "disconnect" ?
Because back when we were trying to Sell, we could watch absolutely junk R/T's and R/T SE's going for $20K to $25K and requiring complete restorations ?
Which made absolutely no sense to me ? and was very frustrating ?
All I can say is I think
many, many more people seem to be able to come up with $20K-$25K to "get into a Charger".... no matter condition/required Resto etc., and plan to then spend over time/DIY work plans ?
versus
there are those that can afford to acquire a Charger already done/finished or in this case still surviving in great condition ?
And in my opinion only....
this is an important thing to remember when assessing "DELUSIONAL" as we are doing in this Thread ?IMO,
many BUYERS are equally "delusional" based in their passion in wanting to get into a Charger anyway they can within their means, even knowing full well that by the time they are finished it will cost them many times MORE $ in the end !
"many BUYERS are equally "delusional" based in their passion in wanting to get into a Charger anyway they can within their means..... even knowing full well by the time they are finished it will cost them many times MORE in the end ! "
Not sure that is delusional if they can't afford 50k in lump sum :shruggy: It took me close to 20 years to restore my Charger which is just a basic 318 green/green car from the factory. With 3 young kids at the time and owning a home, chipping in a few thousand at a time was the only way for some of us to realize our dreams.
What IS delusional in my opinion is someone looking for a running/driving car that just needs some minor stuff for 20K..

Agreed !
Anyone remember back when Lennard was selling his '70 Charger R/T ? Same thing... RIDICULOUS !
I guess I'm just sour grapes because of what I experienced ? same as what Lennard was back then ?
People wanted a running/driving R/T SE surviving in great original condition rust free for under $50K.... because it's a column shift ?
and because...
this for even $10K(half the asking) in this condition because it's supposedly an "R/T SE" pedigree is just NUTS ! Just amazing to me what some people think ?
I mean I think this fella should be happy to get someone to Pay his light Bill this month and take it away to clear out his Shop without have to PAY THEM ?

That's surprising to hear. It's a black survivor '69 RT/SE. To me, seems column shift is a minor detractor. Hell, it even makes in unique. Wouldn't stop me from buying if I was in the market.

I agree, some folks are a bit delusional in what they expect to spend to get a drivable car. But the reason it's easier to sell a $20k project than a $50k driver is because many people can't afford to throw down 50k. So, they throw down 20k with plans to put more money in over time. Many people then realize what it takes to finish a car and the result is a bunch of disassembled cars for sale for a lot of money.
IMHO, most folks should just save as much as they can over time until they can afford a driver. Realize the life commitment required to restore a project and be honest with themselves as to their ability to take such a project on. Few can.

That's also silly..... the column shift get's you the buddy seat, which I now think I like better than the console.
Also, by the way, only 45K for it is also delusional, IMO.

I'm the only one that posted a ballpark starting point, and I got flogged as a delusional buyer. :icon_smile_question:
What was the asking price when it was available and did not sell?
Definitely an interesting dynamic to the conversation, though. Rollers with unrestored body and missing drivetrain components don't struggle to bring a consistent $15k. I'm sure we could jump a few years back in this thread and find some 'bargains'!

A year ago in what I believe were more stable markets ?
we tried asking $75K CND which was only
$57K USD and we thought was fair.... got offered $60K CND or
just under $46K USDIMO, the entire reason for this thread and the highlighting of Seller's asking Delusional Prices ?
is at least partially because of speculative pressures looking to profit at resale.....
with,
the "entry" level enthusiasts ?
then getting shafted/squeezed, and stuck buying/bidding on absolute JUNK for $15-$25K because that's all they can afford with nothing left "in between" those and the disconnected/speculative resale upper market.
I mean WHERE is the "in between" market for Buyers ?

Challenger340, I just now read this, looks like you ran into the same problems & same people I ran into & came to same conclusions I did afterwards. That it don't make sense to buy a rust bucket basket case for $25k or $15k or even $10k when it's going to cost you $100k+ to do a proper quality Resto or $50k to do a cheap Earl Scheib crappy Resto when you can just buy a solid rustfree nice car for $50k or in my case for my car $29k. In a nut shell these junk project cars are way overpriced & selling for way to much & the people Buying & Selling are delusional. :shruggy: :Twocents: :slap: :brickwall: LEON.

68 Charger with correct numbers matching....I thought 68 and earlier years are near to impossible to validate any numbers matching anything. :shruggy:
I think you can if it has a build sheet.
In 1968 VIN tag #s are linked to engine block and trans. Fender tag #s (lower RH corner) are linked to the body #s (rad support & trunk gutter). Build sheet ties the 2 together to confirm. With no build sheet you cannot confirm all numbers matching. If one were to fake a '68, they should at least have the vin match the drivetrain #s and fender tag match the body #s.

Suspect you are correct that is $150-$200k build if a shop does it.
One observation - why not just buy a new motor if you are going all out on the build. Maybe they saved a little but a used motor in that kind of a build, even with only $7k miles (was donor car crashed) does not fully compute
Not for a Fiat engine. :icon_smile_big:
Surely...you are not stupid enough to believe that, especially since the 3rd gen Hemi was designed and developed long before FIAT came along.

Despite my best efforts, many people bitch and complain when shitty grammar gets called out.
I still feel the same, I see it and want to comment.....

I drive it to local show and have put about 3000 miles on it in the 5 years ive had it . Going to take it to Desmoines Good Guys show next weekend but we will trailer it up there as thats about a 3 hour drive each way .

I had to actually look that up and the answer is... in the US, no. In Canada they did both for '71 and '72. These Swinger Specials had a unique VIN prefix of LL23H1R (L=Dart, L=Low, 23=2 Door Hardtop, H=340, 1=71, R=Windsor, Ontario Plant) and carried the very coveted Y39 special order code as indicated on the broadcast sheets. Supposedly only 83 were made. So I guess it's a little rare.

:2thumbs: :popcrn:
there was a rear end shot of a 69 hemi charger on the cars in barns website years ago , in canada that color with a black top , but think it was originally white :scratchchin:
i remember it because we spoke about a unfinished white 69 hemi charger , on ebay that was white from canada , & the painted body shell had no signs of Hemi torque boxes leaf spring hanger reinforcment plates etc &
we wondered at the time was it that car , think the fender tag called for wide sill mouldings & this body had no holes or it might of been the other way round :scratchchin:
Same guy with the same picture was selling a purple V code 70 Charger ownership about a month ago
I asked around a bit about him
Seems he is well know for selling such things
Bringing this thread back from the dead for a couple gems I found locally. My neighbor told me he spotted a 68 and 70 Charger sitting on the side of the road, presumably for sale. Obviously I had to check them out so I hopped in my '69 and took a ride.
The guy selling them bought them off an 'old lady' in Georgia and fully admitted to flipping them. He's asking $38,000 each...
The '68 was the better of the two but neither one was that great. Both were stalled restorations with mediocre/incomplete metal work and un-restored interiors/engine bays.
The guy just kept yammering on about how they would be worth $100k restored etc etc. Couldn't resist sharing.

" all serious offers will be considered but remember, I don't need to sell these and if I don't like anything about you I won't let you anywhere near them "
Here's a new addition. :brickwall:

Often these posts are about audacious ads for would-be scrappers that have prices well beyond what their condition warrants. This one is a little different in that it is nice but it's not $85k nice. A rusty gouge in the door, rust around the fender tag, the old dippity-do at the top of the grill, and plenty of other things. Easily $25k too high, probably more.

35 grand for what is basically a "core" to start with? You'll still need at least $40,000 to finish it. $75,000 into a car that may be worth $50,000 ?

That's been said but I tend to disagree. Beauty is timeless and these are rolling art.
The most aesthetic/desireable pre-war cars are still huge money and I would guess it's not a bunch of 100+ year old people buying them.

Not true.
Some do. Many don't. I've ran into a few guys in their 20s that love the classics. The thing is, WE were surrounded by them when we were young and they were cheap to buy. There were similar cars in junkyards so parts were easy to find. Nowadays they are more expensive and the parts are not just right down the street.
