cheap 69 on ebay

No title. Slant 6 with a 3 on the tree and no options that I see other than maybe a radio. I'm surprised the floor boards are as solid as they are with the quarters as bad as they are.

[NHCharger]

By the time you're done you will have 30k into that car, and that's doing most of the work yourself.

[Cooter]

So a cheap Charger shows up and first three responses are complaints. I guess haters gonna hate.

I see no a  problem making a very nice car out of this one for under $15 k.

[Baldwinvette77]

I think it will end up around 15k by the time the auction ends..... people be cray

Also based on the rust on the back, the solid frame, rotten trunk, and colour, this car is like the 69 equivalent to what my car may have looked like before it was parted out

I have to agree with you, the 2 I posted yesterday were 3x the coin and wayyyy worse.
At least this one is starting off at a reasonable price...

[NHCharger]

Not hating Cooter. Just making a statement based on the costs I have incurred while working on my 68. Someone with limited mechanical and bodywork skills would have a hard time achieving a 15k budget with that car based on the condition and missing parts

[bill440rt]

Not that bad of a price right now for a project with solid frame rails & floor. Yeah, looks like just the back half is the worst of it.
Depending on how nice you want to make it $30K is not unheard of at all. No interior, drivetrain, etc.
The bidding would be higher for sure if there was a title.

[Sublime/Sixpack]

It does seem that a lot of times we focus immediately on the negative, but it's the negative things about some of these cars up for sale that will bite you in the butt once you get it home and start the work. But I have seen much worse than this one.

I hope someone picks it up and saves it.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Problem is that it'll be worth 11K when done.

[Old Moparz]

Without getting to inspect it in person it could either be a bondo buggy that also need doors, roof, deck lid, & fenders on top of what it needs that can be seen in the pics. Many cars that have been for sale have been in much worse shape based on just pics. The fact that this one has what appears to be good frame rails, makes it a decent car to start with as a blank canvas. If someone already has a car that is complete but rotted beyond use, they'd already have all the hard to find items that aren't being reproduced & have to only focus on gathering the sheet metal & the drive train.

I think Cooter is right that you could have a nice cruiser for $15k as long as you don't expect a concourse show car. I know if I choose not to turn my Charger into a Daytona replica that I can do mine as a stock, 440 Charger for that or less. Having access to certain things, even just cores, can make a big difference. If people can get away from the idea that you need to spend $10,000 on paint, or a crate motor for $8000 then you have a head start at a project that won't require a 2nd mortgage.

              so just how rare is a slant 6, 3 on the tree charger, did they make many  ?

Well done----It seems that the majority of conversation here is about the rusty beginnings of something to enjoy and the finished car that we are afraid to drive.

The vast middle is where most of us are.  A reasonable start can be had for reasonable money. and it can be fixed to be driven with affordable money mixed with the fun part of this hobby doing most ourselves.

I say to those that are just starting their first project ---resist getting bogged down with anal details and move forward to a fun driver that you can say I did it myself .

Leave the numbers matching one of none type cars for those that are building a museum piece that they are afraid to enjoy driving.

BTW it would be better for the hobby as a whole if we see more chargers on the street and not hidden

[polywideblock]

wasn't saying car should be restored and hidden away  ,these cars were made to be driven   

   was just curious as to many /6 3 speed chargers   were made       

[toocheaptosmoke]

Looks like a pretty good start for a project to me, not sure I want to see what it ends up going for though...

Oh, and I want that passenger door panel.

 I would like to have a /6 3 sp myself.  Always liked the odd stuff

Would likely make a hemi head for it though.

[polywideblock]

you should look at the 265 hemi 6 from down here    a real monster

I want to know more.

There was a magazine write up on a Kaw Z1 V8---A guy married two engines into a V that shared the crank.

Hmm  Two slant sixes could make a v12 and with hemi heads--- --or  ----or

   Thanks for the link. This is new to me.

[1974dodgecharger]

Why do you guys act like its gonna end at 3k for price?  As somoene mentioned it will end up at 10k to 15k auctions end then the person will dump 15k into it to get it to running condition then sell it for 15k.

[NHCharger]

No title. Slant 6 with a 3 on the tree and no options that I see other than maybe a radio. I'm surprised the floor boards are as solid as they are with the quarters as bad as they are.

              so just how rare is a slant 6, 3 on the tree charger, did they make many  ?

My book says 262.

To me it's more of a desirability issue than having something rare. They only made a few of them for a reason and it wasn't because everyone wanted them.

[Cooter]

I see no a  problem making a very nice car out of this one for under $15 k.

Problem is that it'll be worth 11K when done.

If that's your sole motivation...money....then get the f*ck outta this hobby. You, along with BJ, along with flippers are ruining this hobby.

And if that person is that stupid of a flipper, then they deserve the big "D" in the "A".
Who the he'll cares if I t takes $15k to put this thing back on the road??
Its another Charger saved. Why is it every time an auction comes up we act like the very dic-heads we hate???
Why do we watch BJ auctions and crucify someone on Craig's list?
Why aren't we launching a protest to Nat. GEO. for airing that piss poor excuse of a pricing guide?

The real problem is I see people making comments about how this movie, or that movie destroyed so many chargers, and then in the same breath, these same people have the balls to crucify a Craigslist ad.

[1974dodgecharger]

I personally dont care what happens to the charger just like how I don't care u dont like my 20inch rims in the rear lol....its just easy to predict these things.  Let him restore....the charger alone is already vs a mustang.

That I like making comments since we all have one....

That car looks pretty solid for the most part from the pics.  You could restore it to the tag and have a unique one off or clone it to whatever you wanted and drive it for many years.

yeah that's what i'm thinking , looks real good  for the most part , factor in two quarters  , tail trunk floor  & extersions , lower valance ,  end caps  few repairs round the rear glass rockers/sills!  other than that looks good under side     a quickie blowover in resale red  makes it look better too    although I bet there is more rot than the pictures show  

don't see any problems in buying this ( upon inspection of course ) & the price is right !!  if I wanted to build a clone ! good starting point  &  you still have a pretty rare charger a slant six originally , if that makes sense  

[Ghoste]

It makes perfect sense and if I had money and time for a project that car would be an ideal starting point for someone like me to do maybe a DMCL clone.  I can't envision buying it to flip, when I personally think about it, I think about things you could do relatively cheaply.

[chargerboy69]

Is it just me or do the leaf spring rails look like they have had work done to them.  I am guessing it has had rail caps put on them from Auto Rust Technicians.

[chargerboy69]

It is a bargain compared to this turd.


I won this little gem last week on E-Bay ( look under completed listings) for $14,500.00.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dodge-Charger-SE-1969-dodge-charger-se-5-2-l-/201020231311?forcerrptr=true&hash=item2ecdbd4e8f&item=201020231311&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

Went to pick it up last week and the car is good for scrap, literally..  There was not one solid panel on the car, fenders, roof, doors and quarters were totally rotted away, it was so full of bondo I can only imagine how cans they went through.  The front frame rails are gone, so are the floors, wheel wells and trunk floor.  The sails panels all around the rear window are completely rotted out.  The taillight section is covered with duct tape and painted black. It may look decent in pictures, but she is one the rustiest Chargers I have ever seen. No, I did not come home with it, just out gas money and time.

10 hours to go and $4250 

[66FBCharger]

I like it!
It reminds me of a '69 Charger my brother's buddy had in '78. It was turquoise with white interior /6 3 speed car. I don't kniw what ever happened to it.
I'm guessing the car will be bid to 12K.

look stock to me from the pictures    they look different because they are not covered in thick factory undercoating maybe  , this car was built at St Louis  , Hamtramck  cars were fully undercoated there , well all the ones ive seen ,  seen other  of  St Louis built chargers like this  70s too:yesnod:
