By the looks of the condition of the front seat i would say original miles of 89k for sure. Picture this car restored to perfection with the "new" recall Kelsey Hayes wheels with red lines !  :2thumbs:

Hmmm... Jersey car, too.
I know of another bronze RT/SE 440-4spd in north Jersey. Original owner, was sitting outside for decades. Not the same car, the other one is a stripe delete.
Amazing that there are two of them sitting around here.

This car looks to be quite the survivor.   :popcrn: :popcrn: :popcrn:

For comparison, the "barn find" from a few years ago:

I think the bidding got to around $25k, fwiw...  :Twocents:

Oh yeah, I gotta think there is some real nastiness to be discovered after purchase there somewhere.


Whole thing is nasty come on...but great project for some body out there.

QuoteOn Jun-01-13 at 20:31:58 PDT, seller added the following information:
Pictures of the fender tag and interior floor boards have been added. The carpet was removed to show the floor boards.  There is a small spot that has rusted through by the front drivers side floor as seen in the picture.

"small" spot  :scratchchin: I'd hate to see their definition of "large"  :Twocents:

And the fender tag is so rusty, it would need to be "read" from the backside  :o

Neat car, but it's tough to see more than $15k in that car?  :Twocents:

Car is now at $15k  :o

I got the engine started today.

For 15k I would rather opt for that fc7 70 coronet vert that went thru ebay a while back.  That car was at least somewht solid to work with.
I guess its ok to be nuts for chargers, just not nuts enough to be the guy paying 15k for that RT pile.

$15k is kind of nuts for this one... I'm sometimes surprised on how narrow the buying public's price gap is between rusty roaches and clean drivers. If this was a nice driver. The bidding would probably only be about $10k more. People will over pay for a project car believing that they will save money over buying a decent finished car.   :Twocents:

Agreed, which is why I posted this, the other day:

Agreed on the more desirable color, but remembering the "barn find" 1969 brown Charger from several years back which I think sold for mid-20s, I can't see paying 18 for this one... :Twocents:

The brown charger didn't need thousands upon thousands of dollars of AMD sheet metal and small parts. It looked to be a turn key car  :shruggy:

I'd pass on that one too. Somebody would have to want it awful bad to pay that much for such a rust bucket.

$22K for that car??  Wow!   People must really hate the T7 color on mine then, because I'm pretty sure the $30K+ they will need to get this one done plus the $22K base cost is well north of what I'd take for my car... and mine's even a 4-speed!

The seller must be doing cartwheels. Hopefully he gets all his money prior to the new owner seeing it in person & getting cold feet.

:iagree: Holy moly  :o $22k for that one a LOT of money for that car!!

The other T7 car from a few years ago was only a few grand more, and ready to go...  :shruggy:

That is a lot higher than I thought it would bring. It is great for the seller as long as the deal doesn't fall through.
If I was looking for a project car, I wouldn't pay that much. I paid just a little more for my matching number 4 speed R/T. Yes mine will need to be restored eventually, but I am driving and enjoying mine now. I'm not sure if the R/T S.E. runs and drives.
With the exception of the automatic, this has the colors and options I would have liked. I think the T5 with the tan leather interior looks awesome.

Funny how the Owners of these cars seem to think all of them aren't worth d*ck, but the average musclecar enthusiast does.
