All original 1970 Charger R/T, SE and local to me, worth $45k?

[polywideblock]

re paint ,no paperwork , heater not working    wonder what else he isn't telling you    35-40K tops   

ask if you can look under back seat  if so look for broadcast sheet
                                                   
                                                                          still its a 70 and that colour combo  looks great

You're supposed to fall hopelessly in love BEFORE you buy the car, not AFTER you buy it. 

No wonder why this country has such a high divorce rate...

Where do you young blokes work, that you would have 45K-60K to spend. 
I can't believe a 30-40 year old would considers himself too old to restore a car.

The OP did not say he was too old.
He said he was looking to start a family & did not have the TIME to devote to a full bore restoration. For someone who's been there, I can relate.

[indetrucks]

Yeah, I am done with restoring.  Have done a 64 Continental, 64 Bug, 55 Chevy Truck, and completely built from ground up a 62 Pro Street Nova. Heck, I currently have a 67 GTO that I'm tinkering with too and even that takes lots of my time.

They all took more time and money than I anticipated.  Yes, I loved every bit of it, but when it came time to sell a couple of em, was way upside down.

I just don't have the time anymore and want to buy one done.  I will be able to wrench on it when little things arise, but at least I wont be in a full blow restoration at the same time I am trying to raise a new family.  

That being said, I really appreciate all this help finding my dream car.  I know a lot about other rides, but must confess... I know little about Mopar's

What do the pro's think about this Black one I just came across?

Anyone familiar with it?

Real deal R/T, "J" code, #'s match 426 hemi, orig. dual four's, 4speed, dana 60, 4:10 power lock, ps, pdb, no rust ever.
Driver quality car, runs and drives awesome.
asking $62,900 or best offer !

*EDIT*
Just noticed the listing is over a month old. Probably not worth even thinking about.
Hate when listings stay up so long.

You never know, my self I would give them a call.

My self, I like the 70 the best, not that I don't love them all! Bulges in the fender stand out more, and the scruples in the hood are bigger! I all so like the electric motor better than the vacuum headlight doors! Only thing I don't like on the 70 is the door panels, kind of plain.

Front sheet metal is hard to find, grill can be real hard.

Sounds like your looking for a Charger like mine. It has the wheels you like. It is all original unrestored survivor. No Repaint. All original paint, original 24,000 miles, all #'s match. And only $30,000. Does need some work though. LEON.

P.S. 100% rustfree California car.

The email didn't work but I called and he still has it.  Said to ring him back when it's not so late (whoops).
I really don't know much about the 426 hemi Chargers.  By looking at those pics, can anyone give me some questions I need to ask before calling again?

[ACUDANUT]

Damn, it's gotta Hemi ?  Too cool.  I love my 70 Charger R/T. I would take the scoops off the door, but then the door would 4 holes showing in it.

Where are the pic's of this Charger ?

[indetrucks]

I have a question. For the pros.
I found an RT I really like. It's really only got one thing that bothers me. Its an automatic on the steering column.  I have seen a few on the column, was this common?  It's not an a/c car either but I'm not concerned about that.

Here are the vin, tag, and build sheet.  Can anyone help shed some light as to decoding them?

[Ghoste]

Automatic on the column was quite common, yes.

[Homerr]

FYI the VIN tag has been painted over when the dash was repainted.  Not a big deal really if you're okay with it.  Many just mask off the tag when painting.  The original 'rosette' rivets look intact.

Here's what a stock one looks like, flat paint and Chrysler logo:

[indetrucks]

Thanks sooo much!  So looks like the only thing missing is the luggage rack. Looks like a low option car otherwise.  The wheels are a black steel with a small chrome-ish center cap. Looks good but they aren't the cool 500's that I like.

Should the column shift be a deal breaker?  Just seems so grandma like on the column, not very mean appearing.

[70 sublime]

If the car is priced right you could always round up the parts to put in a console shifter and keep the original parts for the next owner someday

[indetrucks]

Here are some pics of the triple black you decoded.

[6spd68]

That car is dead sexy, I wouldn't give a damn about the column shift 

[ACUDANUT]

90 percent of these cars had that.  More room for some road head. lol

[Ghoste]

It seemed at one time, you didnt see many console automatic cars and now column shift is rarely seen.  I think a lot of have been consoled over the years.

[indreams84]

The R/T I am getting is a column-shift auto as well.....I am ok with it, considering the rarity of a #s matching R/T (especially a 69')......btw, I saw that black one up for sale in Florida, right? Isn't it like $49,000 or so? Looks nice.

[myk]

I wouldn't be "thrilled" about a column shift car, but in this day and age where nice Chargers are becoming more difficult to find, I wouldn't let it stop me from buying it.  Like someone else said you can always 'mod it and then restore it later...
