Nacho-RT74

IMHO didn't age good really to have that low miles account...
Venezuelan RT 74 400 4bbl, 727, 8.75 3.23 open. Now stroked with 440 crank and 3.55 SG. Here is the History and how is actually: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,7603.0/all.html
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,25060.0.html

triple_green

That car is very similar to triple_green, except mine has a green roof, an H code engine and console. It is pained the 66-1 spring green which is also very rare. Was F8 in later years and much more common...cool car.
68 Charger 383 HP grandma car (the orignal 3X)

moparstuart

similar to mine  but at 74 k mines way nicer shape  , interested to see what it brings for sure  

I have lighter green  , green top and black interior

Hemi-Hampton i would walk there and drive it back for $30,000. 😂 But, seriously I am as thinking $40,000 when I talked with him. I had my shock face on when he told me $60,000. 😳 This one which was a 318 brought $55,000!  https://www.ebay.com/itm/233976041376

Could it be 119,339 miles?
Looking under the Hood  , at the interior and the condition of the vinyl top  that would be my guess

kevink

Just had many photos of the car emailed to me. I just can't see it being an actual 19,000 mile car. Would the paint be gone off the engine like this? I can see if it set out the the top being in such bad shape but a lot of the other signs are more wear than I would expect?

hemi-hampton

Looks like legit 19k miles to me condition wise. Any experienced old time used car lot salesman will tell you there is 2 things to look for if a car has 19k or 119k Miles. And that is #1 How much wear on the Brake Pedal. #2 Do the Doors close with a slight push of one finger because the door hinges are tight & not worn or do you gotta slam or lift up door to close it because of worn out door hinges & saggy Doors???????. My Charger with only 24k miles looked worn but had virtually no wear on any pedals & doors closed like a brand new Cadillac. LEON.

kevink

Just got a notification that the reserve price has been dropped. I wouldn't be surprised if the next bid buys it.

Well, i got it to $49,000! 🤣

SO, Does that mean it's now your Baby. If so Congrats :2thumbs: LEON.

P.S. Check Door Hinges & Pedal wear as I mentioned earlier.

kevink

No sir Hemi-Hampton, the reserve still wasn't met. I was told it would take $55,000 to buy it. I just am not will to go that high.

hemi-hampton

He should of been very Happy just to get the $49k in my Opinion :shruggy: :Twocents: :slap:

Back on ebay. Buy it now for 55K.. 


Agree with HH, 49k was strong money for that car, should have taken it. 

70 sublime

On the new ebay listing if you look at the very last picture
With the hood open and the black panel above the head lights and between the front fenders

Does it not look like there is green paint on the panel close to the passenger side of the car ??
If all original should this not be black only ??

Maybe they left it dirty for a reason ?
next project 70 Charger FJ5 green

I do not think they were ever able to sell it for what they were asking. It will be "the big goes on if the reserve is still $50,000 at Mecum in Dallas as well.

Challenger340

IMO,
NO WAY it's 19K mileage..... more like119,000 miles, and that Vinyl Roof is just in awful shape ?

318 Car?
Green ?
IMO, I don't care how solid it is otherwise.... maybe I'm on glue but $50K seems like a stretch to me here ?

Talked with the good people at Mecum today. Although they could not reveal the reserve they said the owner has valued the car between 50k-60k. So, I will not be heading to Dallas for the auction as I was high bidder on all their EBay Auctions for this car and still was unable to buy it at Market Value. Oh well, Who has a triple green 1968-1970 they want to sell?

Again here.... I know I sound like a broken record ?
but IMO...
I think you were smart to walk away at even mid $40's ? 

I mean I get that LOTS depends on how they are cared for ?
that said,
There is NO WAY I'll believe that Car is 19,000 mileage....it is for sure 119,000 miles in my mind because I can go look at a higher mileage example in my garage in FAR better shape !

Yours will come along Kevin, remember, everything comes to he who waits !

Also notice the plastic wire bracket on over the left shock tower is upside down. I'd post pictures of other unrestored cars here if I could. Check out your pm over at FBBO.
