Market that low? Come on, $86,100? Or, is mine that pathetic? I know a lot of you have been following this latest edition of the "Troy trade"... Looks like I'll be keeping my V2 and not getting the other one at this rate.. May try a broker this time. Guess people want me to give it away? OK ok...... Yes, I know some out there would love for me to give it away...  :icon_smile_big:

I'll just save up and put a 426 Hemi in it or sell the 500 and use the money for a R/T and 426......  :D

EDIT: It was my ebay auction that got only to $86,100 for the Daytona, sorry for any confusion....

I think he put it on eBay and that was the highest bid he got on it.

Very hard to follow... was it the 500 listed in your sig? Those cars may be rare, but they just don't set themselves apart from a standard charger enough to interest me much.

The market simply ain't what it used to be...
And unless someone is getting in on the ground floor, most  buyers would prefer a 4 speed  (no offense to yours of course  ;)   )

Out of curiosity... what 'should' the car bring in a 'good' market?

That's as "debatable" apparently as the Presidential debates......  But ultimately, it boils down to what someone's willing to spend..............

Troy,

I can hook you up with a consignment place in Chicago who is very connected into Mopar collectors.  He sells majority of his cars overseas.  PM me if interested.

On a side note, each time I look at a picture of your car, in my head I add up any possible way to get to a close amount to buy it off of you, and it never works.  I wish I could come up with the $$ - LOVE YOUR CAR.

On day in the future I hope to have a wing car :2thumbs:

well it's surely worth way more tha 86k. you only get a select few of potential buyers on a car like that during a random 1 week ebay auction. cars like that usually sell through major auction houses in person. that car is very nice and it will sell. it just takes that ONE person, of course you know that. Keep plugging away, it will eventually find it's correct home. i'd love to have it, but i just can't pay 6 figures for a car.. any car. if there ever was one, a hemi orange daytona would be ideal.
i live in CHARGERLAND.. visitors welcome. 166 total, 7 still around

:iagree:
It's all about getting the right azz for the seat.  Some people want a fun driveable car, and with the mods Troy has done , that's what they would get. Some want exact factory specs and just have it to collect and occasionally show.   The former might appeal to the European market if the video of that guy floggin' is Charger in Finland (or was it Germany?) is any indication... ;D

An Ebay auction on a car is rarely a barometer of the market.   It is a classified ad.  No more, no less.    

Troy, it has been suggested in the recent past that the best thing you can do for the short term is take the car off the market.   I agree with this.

Also, I feel that the continuous discussion of failed marketing efforts DOES have the potential to unfairly devalue your car.    It has been on the market too long.  It is like a stale real estate listing.   If I may be blunt, the threads like this can plant the IMPRESSION that something is wrong with your car and that the market MIGHT really be that bad.   All of us here know that your Daytona is a fine machine.    I don't think the market is that bad, although it is still softer than you would like. 

Enough of us know the car is available.  Eventually I can see it selling through word of mouth.

You ever tried taking it to Mecum or BJ??? I would try that first! Only luck I have ever had selling a vehicle on Ebay was a Rollback I sold about 2 years ago and that was it, I tried selling a "Fast and the Furious" Green Mitsubishi Eclipse I built back in 2004 and nothing but kids bidding it up with monopoly money.....
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

I hear that the fees and consignment percentages are crazy expensive..  I'd have to reserve the car for MUCH higher dollars to get what I need and you see where the market is now...

"It comes down to what one will offer and other can accept  "

Market saturation ( per Doug's reply)

I agree with all of the above .

Same with the F6 auto Daytona in Indiana (and in the For Sale section ).  :Twocents:
I'm sure it'll sell eventually.
