Wife wants me to thin the herd..which charger goes?

[carsnguitars]

So over the years I picked up 3 chargers. Wife wants me to thin down by one so trying to decide, thought I would ask for opinions.
Cars:
68 all original and complete except engine & tranny, was 383 auto now 44 auto.
I have 2 - 71 R/T's, 1 with power windows and a/c, the other Air grabber. Both have all original engines and stuff.

I was thinking selling the 71 with the power windows an ac since I have 2 71's (kinda like the air grabber one best), but have a good offer on my 68.
The first gen 68 such a cool looking car though it is kinda hard to part with it, and a Guy wanted to buy it told me I should keep it, they are getting harder to find.

So what you think, sell one of the 71's or keep em and sell the 68.
Just curious to charger fans thoughts!!
Option B!!!!!
Keep stalling the wife and hope she gets amnesia!
Btw - I do drive them, and thought about giving them to my kids later.

Trade wife, keep all 3!! 

I agree with your logic.. Keep the air grabbed and the 68...

[bakerhillpins]

If you can't get past or get rid of the wife I would go with your gut and try to get rid of the 71. You will have a much easier time finding one of them in the future if you want to replace it. The 2nd Gens are much harder to replace in the long run.

What's her beef? Is it just in the way or do you owe money on them?

[rebby]

How many kids do you have? If you have 3 (or more) the problem just solved itself.

I'm bias toward the second gen's (especially the 68 and 69) so, in no way would I part with one of those prior to a 71. That said, based on what you said, I'd part with the 71 PW/AC. It makes more sense to me since that way you'd still have a g2 and a g3 rather than 2 g3's. It also sounds like that would be the easier of the 71's for you to part with.

The CORRECT answer however is... Keep the 68 and BOTH 71's. Then post WTB threads for a 69 and 70 as well (just to round out the consecutive years). Once you have a series, continue to build on both bookends until you have one from 66 to 74. Then, since you already have 2 71's, you're gonna need 2 of every other year as well. Explain to your wife that "it's a man thing, some guys collect mistresses, I collect Chargers" and she should leave you alone.

offer her one as a gift, but secretly keep it for yourself? 

[carsnguitars]

I don't owe any any of them..all paid..of....
her beef...well have an E body (its not going anywhere) and a Fisher body as well (that one my kid wants).

She just wants a spot in the garage for her

I agree with the keep em all and start a series...I could use a 70 r/t to go with them...hmmm..maybe I should be looking in for sale section instead...

I might be able to stall her till fall..and then come up with anther excuse!!
cant trade her in cost me way too much I loose em all!! haha....

I think play dumb for now....Hun I forgot..then by her something and keep stalling!!

[Daytona R/T SE]

Find her most favorite thing she owns and smash it.

Don't say a word...

How many pairs of shoes is she giving up to make more room in the closet?

[A383Wing]

I do, but only one thing wrong with the logic, well I am dealing with female logic!!! 
You cant reason with that. So I need to deploy shock and awe with confuse and forget...

[archie360]

Tell her, due to the lackluster economy car values are down.  It just wouldn't make sense to sell now when we can get more for it later.  One thing my Wife understand is economics.  That should buy you a year or two or maybe ten    I have two and she wants me to downsize to one.  The trick is to stay one step ahead

At some point in your relationship,

YOU gave her the power to make this decision...



Revoke it.

Yea..it was right after the words "I do"

[Mike DC]

   
I agree with the general sentiment. 

Don't sell the survivor '68. 
Only sell any of them if you agree that your wife's request is fair.  Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. 

   

[polywideblock]

my wife wouldn't let me have any   i now own two but no wife  . I'm biased towards the 3rd gen so I'd keep the 71's, cool options on both are they different colours?

[PocketThunder]

She just wants a spot in the garage for her

Am i the only one that caught this?...!?  The answer is ....... build a bigger garage!  Duh!

Hockey game running late!!.

Yeah one green w/ black top, the other Hemi Orange no top.
Funny thing is she liked driving my orange 71, told me it drove nice! haha...

As for the garage....I did....But it has my 70 chally r/t and a 68 rs/ss in it already..and my boat.....

I going to stall...worked for last 6 mos..but she been starting press me more....

[PocketThunder]

sell the camero.   

[carsnguitars]

sell the camero.   

Cant, I offered it to my son if he graduates with certain GPA......or I would.....

[JB400]

Put a cover on the boat and set it outside.  Then, give the wife the spot closest to the living room door.  If you have the room you could build a carport to put the boat under.

She just wants a spot in the garage for her

Am i the only one that caught this?...!?  The answer is ....... build a bigger garage!  Duh!

[Tilar]
