Good luck with the purchase!

DON'T THINK THEY'VE MADE ANY SINCE DECEMBER 19th 1968?
Even if they made over 500.............C500's, its still a bargain!

ps if its a Hemi-car please can I be next in line?

I'd love to get a C500 project, but the price on this car seems to be a bit on the high side.  If you think about it... wasn't Stu's C500 only listed for $20k?  And it looked a WHOLE lot better than this basket case.  Granted his car did not have a fender tag, and this one does, there was still so much more of the car there to start with.  One of these days, I'll find a real project C500 at a realistic price.

Hi CornDog and all,

What is a good price for any rare car?
Once you set your mind to getting one, you just get 'the best one' for the money!
As with any rare limited edition cars you don't have a choice really.
Certain Collector folks always advertise for C500's with the hope of a cheapo turning up?
Maybe 20 years ago this could have happened.
The last ten years of Tinternet has killed any chance of this.
Flippers are on the lookout every minute of every day!!! :icon_smile_wink:
I have been caught a few times before, in a moment of weakness! :brickwall:
How's about these deals?
1969 Sixpack Superbee sold to friend for £2500.
1969 R/t Charger swapped for £500 and a Motorcycle (that I never got)!
1968 383 Charger sold to a dealer £1500.
1970 383 4-speed Cuda sold to a friend for £3800.
I know the Folks that got these cars are very happy, but I lost out BIGTIME.

So back to the C500 scenario, whats the best deal out there???
I offered mine to a friend for £25,000.
F8 Green 4-speed, dana, number matching engine.
99% rustfree in primer and will be ready to drive in the Spring!

FAIR price or FOUL?

I bought the CT project car, I think it's a good investment. Bought the rear window last year, went to Canada to get it. Collecting parts and saving funds to restore. Itching to get going. Want to get the rare trim that runs along the windshield.

Even in this 'Big-Brother' world we live in there are still unknown Mopars to be found! :chatting:

The strange thing about C500's is............?

They are mostly hidden away project cars!
That means there is hope for everyone still.
Can't be more than 100 left???

I have only ever seen 5 of 'em in over 30 years!!! :angelwing:

Even with only 392 made, the number that was used for drag and street racing, I would think greatly effects the numbers left.  I am also sure there are a few people out there who own more than 1.  I would think there is less than 100 C500 owners???

I'll bet Danny or Ghost would be able to give a good estimate...

I love finding out the stories of the cars. My c500 sold in ct, abandoned when the owner skipped rent and left the car. Landlord parked it in private lot that flooded. Lots of parts were taken, guy I got it from  was going to restore some day and collected parts. Now it's my goal to finish. Just not sure of what color. R4 or Omaha orange.

Shelby I am 99.999999% sure your car was R4 from the factory.

As far as how many 500's are left I can say it's well over 100. I know of over 265 that are still around. And having seen over 200 of the, personally, I would venture to say that there is probably 175 to 190 different people who have one. Not as many people have more than one 500. If they have multiple aero cars they usually only have one 500.

I am sure you have a much better idea than me, but it is surprising that many survived.  I rember watching Americarna and seeing two in Ray Evernhams collection.  I assumed Mr. Wellborn had more than one.  Does Jay Lenno own a C500?  How many wing cars has your family owned over the years Danny?
