$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...

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.

You think that's bad?

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

Now why would you want me to throw up twice?   :lol:

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.

ok, the red car is way over priced.  :rotz:  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. :shruggy:

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'

[ŌŌ]ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ[ŌŌ] = 68
[ŌŌ][ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ][ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ][ŌŌ] = 69

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Those babies are even more beautiful today than they were back then. And worth a whole lot more too.  :2thumbs:  In my opinion that was the best looking Monaro ever.

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