RT Price

[JMF]

On the lookout for a nicely restored or nice driver 68-70 Charger, just wondering how much more I should pay for a genuine RT ? For argument sake they would be the same spec/colour/condition etc, or how much more would you pay ? Thanks

[Mopar Nut]

One owner 69 R/T around here just sold for $20,000.00 in good condition 88,000 miles.

[ACUDANUT]

That's a hell of a deal. 

[daveco]

That is certainly at the low end, price-wise

[F8-4life]

Maybe 20k for a good driver XP,  30k for comparable XS? More if the RT is special in any way.
The car pictured sounds like a deal you don't find every day.

[Ghoste]

Yeah, 20k is on the low side, I would like to find one in that condition myself for that price.

[ACUDANUT]

I have seen 69's go for that price with just a 318. 

[WHITE AND RED 69]

One owner 69 R/T around here just sold for $20,000.00 in good condition 88,000 miles.

That's one hell of a deal. Apparently the owner didn't know what the car was worth or needed cash fast. I've seen beat up junk R/Ts sell for more.

Seems lately for a decent R/T the price has been around the mid 30's. Depending on if it's a matching numbers, a/c, or 4 speed car you will pay much more.

I never see deals like that... ever.

More info on that car......was it original and all and yeah low price someone got a steal.

  thats two cars sensible money   this one & that sublime 70 six pack charger in the thread the other day

dont look a factory color though   , looks metalic red on my monitor

That $20k R/T is an exceptional deal that you don't find too often.

Poking around at various sites, decent runners seem to be the $25-35k range. Obviously R/Ts , special options, or better cars tend to be towards the higher end of things.

I might be selling mine in the near future and will likely be in the upper 20 range, but it does have a few quirks about it that I'm debating whether I want to address them or drop the price to move it.

But I do not think anybody answered the question

How much more is a Charger worth if it is a real R/T verses another car that has the same motor transmission colour etc in a none R/T car in the same condition

[charger_fan_4ever]

Its all speculation, but if i was buying a turn key car I'd pay around $8-10k more for a real R/T. All #'s match 440 R/T probably would pull $15k over say a 318 car.

[70 sublime]

If it was me looking at 2 cars that were both road worthy and the same everything else but one was an R/T I would not want to spend more than an extra $5000 to get the R/T

[hawkeye]

On the 70 charger registry site, Dodge Don has kept track of all the 70 chargers sold on ebay over the last 8 years.  The R/T's average almost $10,000 more than the 500's.  All things being equal, I wouldn't pay that much more for one.       http://www.1970chargerregistry.com/mboard/index.php?topic=24.0

If you add up everything folks are saying, they are a good buy at 30K.

[Ghoste]

A good deal but not a steal depending on the optional stuff.

This information is better than an individual sense of the going prices.  An 8 year trend is good enough to use as real world.
On the other hand the market moves sometimes faster than an 8 year trend can tell. In the eighties the prices went up fast then leveled off for years before dropping.
These things move up and down by the buyers mood. Sorta like the stock market. A big drop doesn't mean value is gone. And a big rise doesn't mean value is there.
A buyer needs to answer a personal question. Am I buying this car more because it has value or because I like and want the car. A seller has a similar personal question. Am I hoping to find the one person that needs this car or is it time to move on.
I see the reason this question comes up so often is no one wants to feel foolish.  Life is all risk. The fun of living comes from taking them.

I agree....well said

Its better than a price guide driven one too because its been compiled by an actual Charger lover.

[ChargerST]

Yeah, but an average price doesn't tell you much when you see the outliers - also it doesn't take the up and down movements into account. A Mean would be a bit better but only a timeline gives you the best information imo

Original everything except paint and the normal wear items with a 440 and black interior. The guy that sold it is in his sixties and needed the money bad. I posted the AD here before, but the guy had sold it in three days.

That is rather clear. It looks like you will end up with a non RT.

[charger Downunder]

Well he wasn't going to wait round for the market to go up, what a great buy if you have the cash.
