Delusional Charger sellers

[ws23rt]

What I have a hard time with is that the restoration costs and selling prices are not secret information.

I guess that is why this thread is about delusions.

The primary hope (I guess) would be to reach out to find the lone person with money that just wants --that-- car and paying foolish money is just fine.

One thing seems to be true---Even if this car sold for the asking price the value of others like it will not go up. Just more people hoping the last fool has yet to be harvested.

Another aspect of asking very high prices may just be a way to --show-- the car in public to get some feedback for all the effort spent.

REALLY, Most people do not like to reveal how much they have spent on a Restoration. Restoration cost & selling price almost always seems to be a Secret. If it sold for the $250k he wants the value may not go up but now everybody that owns one will raise there price & want more. LEON.

Sellers are crazy for confusing the amount they invested with the item's final value.  



But buyers are equally crazy for thinking all sellers owe them a reasonable price.  

Some people are only interested in selling if they get a bigger number that market value.  So what?  If they would rather hold out for years, that's their choice.  There is nothing in the Constitution or the 10 Commandments prohibiting that.  You don't have to buy anything from them.

Not a Charger but it is a Mopar and I thought it would belong in this thread.

I bought an identical one to that for $800 and it was way nicer.

Being from Roswell explains everything.

Another non-charger with a big RK turn-table premium. $1.5 Mil for a 71 Hemi Cuda Hardtop.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plymouth-Barracuda-Hemicuda-/222179717604?forcerrptr=true&hash=item33baf171e4:g:ic8AAOSwfZ1WZIie&item=222179717604

They've had that car for years. I saw it when I was there a year & a half ago. Nice car, but not 1.5 million nice.

Oh okay I see now. You have to spend 1.5 million on a Mopar to warrant that you get the non bolt on battery terminals.

I remember when that car was put back into the spotlight. Funny seeing all the provenance with that car such as a empty pack of cigarettes and pocket change lol.

I still get a kick out of what some claim that car to be worth.

This has been for sale on Ebay UK for years....any profit he might have made must have been spent on listing fees by now! £55,000 (that's about $70,500 at todays rate). After all this time he might realise that its just a tiny bit expensive!!

That is incredibly tacky and tasteless.^

The plus side is, I guess it's nice to see the UK has rednecks too.

I think their rednecks have worse teeth.

I would rather have this for 1.5 over a convertible for 3.5 Million

We certainly do.....but we call them Pikeys over here.....no idea why.

Three ways to tell if you are a redneck/pikey.

You are if;

1. If your wife's hairdo has ever been destroyed by a ceiling fan.

2. When you buy a new house your friends have to help you push it into position.

3 Your family tree has no forks!!

Sounds a lot like Jeff Foxworthy

Bidding is up to 50 large on this car. It looks nice, but there is so much that needs fixing...

Like most resto's, it has my 2 favorite pet peeves. LEON.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

You forgot to add a third pet peeve; painted heater box nuts.

[qwick68]

Or a Walmart battery......

This is more dip**** buyers instead of delusional seller. What the **** are these people thinking.

This thing is a pile.  The quarters are not even close to being correct.  There are no body lines in them and they are about 2 inches too short at the bottom. The engine campartment is a total mess with orange over spray everywhere.  You can also tell the engine was painted while sitting in the car, always a good look. The trunk floor has been sprayed with so much canned rustproofing to fill in the holes and cover the heavy scaling.  And as of now this thing is up over $26000.00.  What the ****.
