Looking for advice or opinions....thinking of selling my 1976 Charger Sport

So, I need some advise on selling my 1976 Dodge Charger Sport...Wondering what it may be worth? I know it's pretty rare; when I bought it about 10 years ago no one had ever seen one. I had a lot done since I bought him. Right now he's in storage in another state. So here's the lowdown... 1976 Dodge Charger Sport. Third owner. Had for about 10 years, since 2004. Garage kept. Daily driver. Beautiful car, runs great, unique. Eggshell White with Tan Landeau Roof and Triple Opera Window and Tan interior. Vinyl bench seats; repair on driver's seat needed. Restored and still in need of some body work, maybe fresh paint.360 V-8 Rebuilt crate engine; originally a 318 V-8, Edelbrock Carburetor, shift kit, Hooker Super Competition Full Length Headers, Dunlop Gt Qualifier tires, new speakers 2004. Excellent mechanical condition. Has about 100,000 miles. Looking at offers.I want him to have a good home. Details and photos to come. So any advice, opinions...or offers?  :shruggy:

Welcome to the forum :cheers:

I think your best bet to find out what your car is worth is to see what similar cars are going for.  I will say that unfortunately, the 4th gen luxury Chargers like yours haven't received the attention that the older Chargers have gotten, therefore, they're not all that collectable, yet.  Once we see better pix, we'll be able to give a better idea of the condition of your car.  It does sound like a decent car for someone just getting into the hobby.

Best of luck with your sale. :cheers: :popcrn:

That's a solid $800.00 car right there!  :2thumbs:

You're overly generous... :scratchchin:

That's a good demolition derby car right there. ;)

I hate to say it but they just aren't worth big dollars.  They didn't create the following that the performance versions of the Charger did.  They're fine cars, B-body, rear wheel drive, V-8 and all but somehow they just missed the mark.
Without more photos it's hard to give an estimate what you should look for as a price.  Any other photos make sure are clear and detailed, no special effects.
Right now, the 800 is likely accurate.

Your Charger sits within the dark ages for performance cars.....big bumpers and small engines.    Not really offering much in performance with 175 hp from the 360 engine (a 400 was offered as well).   It's rather funny how they rated both the 360 and the 400 at 175 hp.  Anyway, the 0-60 times were something like 11.6 and the ΒΌ mile times were in the neighborhood of 18.6.  Enthusiasts would not consider these to be performance car numbers.   And, this body style was not the Charger of old...they did offer a "Daytona Package" in '77, but it was just a decal option with no additional performance.    I was rather surprised that many of these Chargers are priced higher than I thought they were (or should be, all things considered)....anywhere from $1,800.00 to around $6,000.00. 
This could possibly make for a good first "Charger" for a young gun to start off with at the right price.  Then drop in a built 440 and go embarrass some Chevy and Ford guys..... (Beat them with a luxury car...) It's not a car I would buy, as I don't really consider it when talking about Chargers, but then I already have my early Chargers.

I would grab one as a daily driver if it had all the options and everything worked.  They were comfortable and reliable.  Well as reliable as anything with Lean Burn.

I used to beat around in a '77 Charger SE. Cushy riding, comfy car. But no, even though it was in great shape it wasn't worth very much.

Hard to place a value on the OP's car based on the poor grainy picture.  :rotz:

Based on the loose grainy picture, and the fact that it could use paint; you'd be looking at a 1800-2500$ car in Canada.

If you're not comfortable letting the car go for cheap, just enjoy and drive the hell out of it  :2thumbs:

Man I don't know, maybe my Kijiji experience has been a few one offs but anytime I tried to sell things there all the responses I had seemed to be from people who thought it was an online yard sale.  Asking 100 dollars for something?  Get offers of 10 and 15 and will you hold it for two weeks and could you take a post dated check.

Before I bought my 73, I looked a bit for one of those.  Not the SE because there are a bunch of those around and everyone calls them Cordoba's!!
Anyway, I'd take that in a second if I was in the market for one.
As eveyone said though, they are not worth much unfortunately.
Welcome BTW.

You're kinda in a bind there.....Its way to nice for a Demo Derby car,  but not nice enough to get someone's wallet to open.

ha!!  Yes, even though I hate them.... I guess I got sucked into this one because the guy was actually being sincere.  :yesnod:

Idunno... i don't wanna hurt your feelings, but the main reason those cars are rare is because no one wanted one in the first place

However you will more than likely find a teenager who would love to have that as a first car, Primer gray with black cragers would look good  :2thumbs:  :coolgleamA:

Last year I saw one around here that was very nice ac and everything worked. Good paint and interior for around $4,000. Needing paint $1,800 probably right.

Your he is actually a she.   :slap:

Forgive me, but I didn't look close enough at the op's screen name, but whatever.

But, that being said, that generation of Charger is a chick's car, so that does explain things.

That car brings back a disturbing memory from my youth.

There used to be a car like that in here in town.

Turd brown.

It was driven by the U-G-L-I-E-S-T chick around.

This chicks name, fit her appearance.

Her name was Viola.  :eek2:

I'd be out cruisin' around in my Petty blue '72 SE  (Alum slots, N50's, side pipes, etc.)

And there this turd brown Viola mobile would be following me everywhere.

This Chick stalked me for months.

I would occasionally converse with her at the local hangouts,

But I always made it clear I wasn't interested.

She always made it clear that she WAS interested.

Insistent little thing.

Until one night.

I was drunk, and half stoned...

Here she comes...


Done with the whole cat and mouse thing...

I walked up to her and said:

Tonight's the night.

We're gonna do it.

You're finally going to get what you've been after.

Get in your car and follow me...


I got in my '72 SE and fired it up.

She got in the Turd brown mobile and started it up...

She follows me out of the parking lot.

I made a left towards my favorite outdoor fornication location.

She made a right.

I never saw her OR the Turd brown Charger again.

You didn't have to go through with it.  I fail to see what makes that story disturbing :P
