You couldn't pay me to drive this thing...and it's a 68.

$22,700 for that...thing...is beyond crazy.  I know it's a dealer but come one!!

If you look at this car and say that's not too bad, go find the picture of the dash...

[6spd68]

You think that's bad?

http://wwwb.autotrader.ca/a/Dodge/Charger/GEORGETOWN/Ontario/5_11616762_ON20090605143000786/?showcpo=ShowCPO

Because that's a 129,000$ car's dash setup right there

I have a 383 block that is powder coated that same disgusting color. I wonder if it came out of that car or if the guy bought 5 gallons of road stripe yellow? Not my taste, but to each his own.

Now why would you want me to throw up twice?  

Both are butt ugly.  the first one needs to be reduced by a fat 10 grand so someone could save it.  The red one...well that's not going anywhere for that kind of coin.

[ODZKing]

Awful. I have a friend that always says, Its like buying The Mona Lisa ... and deciding that it could be enhanced with some color changes. 

[Bob T]

Yah, that yellow dash really hits the spot  What a disaster, what was he thinking

  not for me either

[nvrbdn]

ok, the red car is way over priced.    no need to worry about that one cuz it wont sell.


   the yellow car definately has things that i dont like.  but seems to be a clean car. bumpers can be redone, exhaust can be fixed. dash can be redone.

  yep, as a package, i dont care for the looks,  but paint choice of the body is a personal preference, and im not thinking it is that bad. engine compartment, trunk area, body, are clean. interior is done decently. maybe it isnt original, but looks ok to me. if i had this car and the bumpers were chrome, the tail panel and rear lights were painted right, the dash was painted right, the grill was painted correctly, the exhaust tips were done right, and my car was that clean, i would want 22k for it. i dont even mind the sport mirrors.

   i could see it selling for near that price and the new owner just fixing a few things to have a nice cruiser.

 

[hatersaurusrex]

The yellow car is a classic example of the owner going 'Rechroming and repopped chrome parts cost WHAT?  Screw that, I'm gonna rattle can all the chrome and tell everyone it's 'custom'

[darkside]

like the yellow it looks like citron yella.

Its easy to bash a car that you don't like. Yellow is not anywhere near my favorite color for a car, but the bodywork on the car looks nice. The shaved door handles and sport mirrors aren't my style. Not fond of the blacked out trim. That trend died in the 80s.
What do you figure a straight, running, V8 68 Charger is worth? Its a $20,000 car even with the wrong stuff on it.

[JB400]

I bet if someone offered $18k for the yellow one, they'd sell it.  It'd give some left over change to fix the dash and a few other tidbits.

I'm split 50/50 on the red one.  Not bad looking, but I think if it was white, the grill would look better painted body color.  Red is a little too much.

[F8-4life]

I never understood why anyone would want to own a yellow car.

[polywideblock]

think yellow is ok if broken up by enough black had a HQ GTS that got lots of attention    in my pre mopar days

[BrianShaughnessy]

If you buy the yellow one cheap enough all the garish interior and silly stripe can be redone and make it less... um...  whatever   

The red one... well... somebody still thinks it's 10 years ago maybe 

[Fred]

Those babies are even more beautiful today than they were back then. And worth a whole lot more too.    In my opinion that was the best looking Monaro ever.

[polywideblock]

sold it for 2000 thought it was heaps back then    their worth 70 or 80 K now

Hindsight!  Pity we can't get it in advance. You know, I prefer that baby over a new challenger.

[JB400]

Styling wise   Maybe if it was orange, had a v8 4 spd. and handled real well.

Yep, I can see potential in it.

[will721]

Personally I kinda dig the color. It may seem funny, but we had a 1960 Chevy panel truck when I was younger that was a similar color. I hated it at first but for some reason yellow can sort of grow on you. That said, personally I would take the car, paint the dash black with some yellow accents. Then throw a black vinyl top on it, fix hat silly stripe, paint the tail panel black and get the chome fixed. Mabey even add a small black stripe onto the bottom of the rocker. Once you break the color up a bit it's not entirely too bad. Offer then 15 for the car, put another 8-10 at it and you could have a nice ride.

But then again, I have always loved these cars and have never thought of one as ugly. Of course that could be just because I've always wanted one.

I reckon that too,, vinyl roof, piss the stripe of and put on a 68r/t one, black out tail panel, black the dash, rechrome the bumpers and change stainless moulds and drive the ass outta it,,, wouldn't cost that much ta do that,, at least someone tried some thing different, not to every ones taste,,,,,,,, and some people don't like what I have done to mine,,, each to there own,,,,,

[Patronus]

Some where, at some time, someone said, "what do you want to do with the dash?" And someone said, "Lets do it in yellow!"

[Stevearino]

I was raised staring at and loving the stock car versions of these cars so the loud monochrome paint on these 2 cars doesn't bother me a bit. I don't think the red one will ever bring in that asking price but I personally don't dislike either one.

[6spd68]

I agree, I just think that if you're charging that kind of money for the red one, at least have a dash that looks like it cost more then 200$ to throw together.

[ACUDANUT]

I like the Yellow Charger, Minus the blacked out trim, bumpers and dash.  Easy fix. Why all the bitching ?
20k for a car that is done is a steal.

Like swap to a 69 grill and tail lights... lol

Well the 68 got it 1/2 right
Once they wrapped the bumper all the way around then it would be perfect

[nvrbdn]

  i was a huge 68 fan since it was my first car.i couldnt find one for sale in my area that i could afford, so i bought my 70.

   man i love my 70. really changed my attitude.

   there are subtle differences between the 3, and i really like all three. so i am taking the things i like from each and making my own.

[charger_fan_4ever]

Dude, give yourself an uppercut! Everyone knows the 68 front is the pinnacle of design      

You see  this is why the 70 is the cream of the crop lol. Grill is almost a 68 and has the 69 lights. No I'm not biased  .
Kidding aside all 3 years are awesome. I was originally looking for a 68, but could not find one so bought my 70.

The yellow one has potential. As mentioned for the price you could change some things.
The legendary car  no thanks for even 1/2 the asking price.

I know it mate, its just a wind-up.
But if I could'nt have found my 68 it was going to be a 70, the 69 didnt even figure
