Nice, very little body work needed.

[lukedukem]

And it's not green. Wow.

It's not that I hate green, but those seem to be found more often than any other color.

BUSTED Torsion Bars

I guess I've spent a sheltered life playing with mopars, because the only other "busted" Torsion Bar I ever saw, (other than on a rusty basketcase where the crossmember tore out), was back in the late 70's on on SuperBee, and that was on one side/one bar only ?

Love to hear this one's story as it relates to TWO 'busted' Torsion bars ?

[orange383]

I really like the look of that. Looks nice and original.

[69 OUR/TEA]

Oooooooooh , I like it !!!!  To far from me to go see , besides , Brian is loading it up right now as we speak !!!!!!

Maybe it's just turned down? Easy to leave these cars on the bumpstops if you turn the adjusters all the way out.

Description said 2 different times it has 2 broken torsion bars. I wonder if what he really means is rotted frame where torsion bars meet frame/crossmember? LEON.

[70B5Cuda]

Are the torsion bars only meant to twist one way? Since they have side specific part numbers, What would happen if they were installed on the wrong sides?

I wondered that     , braking two bars  , only thing I can think , if cross member not rotted out   , someone attempted to remove both bars for suspension work years back  , with out correct tool & put gouges in the bars , creating stress points  , causing them to snap  at later date ,  , after recreating some driving  action from the DOH      

[69 OUR/TEA]

I bet he's after north of 50k.

Which to me would be crazy money for it , not even if it was detailed up running / driving  would $50k be in my mind of it being worth that .

[hemi-hampton]

The price is to high already.

[Challenger340]

Wow, $25,600 , res not met yet .

That about says it all regarding the market for these cars, and with 4 DAYS LEFT in the Bidding ?

[bakerhillpins]

Pretty car and it's not Green!

That's what I was thinking. 

[Challenger340]

$29,100. on 43 Bids, reserve not met, 1 Day 16 Hrs left.

[CDN72SE]

US $30,100.00, reserve met. Very nice car.

[ACUDANUT]

I wonder what greed bay will make on it. It ain't 10 percent either on a Auction. More like 25%. 
Or wait, maybe that's what they charge if it does not sell.  Selling it a fixed price seems cheaper.  Why ? GREED BAY, WHY ?

[smithenhiven]

Pretty sure ebays fees are fixed on vehicle auctions, and are not a percentage of sale.  $125 if im not mistaken.

eBay fees are cheap, even if it sells in "auction" style listing. Now auction houses, that's the 10%

[Charger-Bodie]

Anyone know where all the bids went?

[DAY CLONA]

Anyone know where all the bids went?

retracted/canceled

[Challenger340]

This 'outa be good for the next 6 Hrs ?

ALL the prior Bids disappeared, now 6 Hrs left and basically starting over again at $10,100. ?

Might be fun to be a "fly on the wall" watching the last 5 minutes late tonight ?

I messaged him. Says not for sale anymore. I figure someone came and bought it.

[70 sublime]

Think we should all just keep bidding on it 
I just did and was high bidder for about a minute

[70 sublime]

I just got this reply to why my bid just got cancelled

   
Cancelled:$2,000.01
Explanation:This vehichle was damaged last night trying to move it please do not bid

[Charger440RDN]

I wonder if it was really damaged or if he just decided too keep it.

[70 sublime]

I sent an email asking and this is what I got back



New message from: *last-ride* (341)

I claim BS. I tried to sell a engine for 2500 at the normal auction style and when it failed to sell, I had a 250 fee each week.

Maybe parts are the 10% fee ?

I sold my 70 Charger on ebay 3 years ago now and the $125 fee sounds right for what I was charged

[F8-4life]

I doubt that car sold for 30k.
Why it was bid that high is any bodys guess..
Cool car but really its a project like any other but with pretty original paint.
Plus auto with a vinyl top, so nothing extra special other then the originality factor.
