Delusional Charger sellers

[Drache]

He had sent me some pictures of his brothers 69 Charger that was all fixed up and had it appraised at $200k

People that state what their appraisal value use it like a flex. AV is what it would cost to have that car built by a professional shop and not what the actual market value is. I bought my Dart for $14,000 back in the day. It was appraised at $50,000. When I was forced to sell it, I got Market Value which was only $25,000.

Thanks for being honest, Drache. Too many guys with egos will tell bullshit stories of "what my car is worth".

As all the old timers die off. The prices will start coming back down someday. This next Generation has no interest in old cars.

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.

It's true of what you're saying except one important ingredient left out is when people pay big bucks it's because it comes with a memory of wanting one as a child or having one in your younger years.
Granted the 68/70 Chargers are one of the few American muscle cars still creeping up in value compared to the majority, it's hard to justify spending over 100 grand for a charger when you can buy a Mustang or GTO for half that. I told my wife if the chargers were in the 40,000 market like a lot of muscle cars I would buy one again, but I am not spending over 100 grand.

Most guys here that have had Chargers restored by themselves or by shops know that if you ever sell your car, you generally will never get out of it what you put into it. Unless that is, you've held onto the car for years and the market value has jumped.
