Delusional Charger sellers

It's definatly rough out there for young guys or really anyone trying to enter the hobby on a budget and is trying to find an affordable mopar muscle car, especially a 68-70 charger.
This thread sucks in that sense.

I couldn't agree more! I've been wanting a 69 for 18 years. I was 4 years old when I started watching Dukes. I wanted a charger as soon as a saw it slide around the corner. I was 10 years old in 2004 and had $200 to my name maybe. When the prices sky rocketed in 2005 I knew it would be a long long time before I could afford a decent car. I worked as much as I could to try and save money to buy one that would run so I could drive it by the time I was 16. No matter how hard I tried I never could save enough. They kept inching up in value. I was a day late and a dollar short every time I found a fair deal. Fast forward to 2012 I graduated high school and went to college that fall. I majored in Aviation as a professional pilot. It costs $60,000 to earn all of your ratings in the plane. That does not include tuition for classes. Every summer, weekend, and holiday since 10th grade I've worked to save money for college. I found a really good deal on (2) 1970 chargers summer 2015. Way too good of a deal to let pass. I had just enough money saved and I bought them and they have sat under my dads shed ever since I brought them home. Last week I graduated with my Bachelors of Science degree in Aviation. I am completely debt free. Never took out a student loan. Now I can finally start saving up to restore my charger. Hopefully these last 7 years of busting my ass will pay off.

Sorry for such a long post, but F8-4life is exactly right. It's super hard to get into this hobby in today's time when you're working your way through school or just starting out.

I like hearing stories like this one. More young teenagers need to take a page from this one. Hard work, dedication and perseverance. Student loans are the evil for the hopes of young adult men and women entering the work force. Doing it how you did you don't have that weight of the student loan gorilla on your shoulders. Good hard work and now rewarded moving forward. You're so much ahead of the "Normal" crowd and in a good position to be set for life with your way of approaching it.

Good luck to you and good luck to your 1970 Chargers.

Give it another 15 years.  Zillions of baby-boomers will be passing out of the hobby.  Their kids & grandkids will end up dumping a lot of decent-condition older restorations onto the market.  That will drive down prices.  The dollar figures won't come down but that's the hidden effect of inflation.  The actual values will be lowering. 


Granted, 2nd-gen Chargers will be some of the least/last affected by this.  They have too much cred among younger people.

Obviously, you've been married for quite a while.

Nope, I have never been married. I'm 22 right now. Between high school and college it has been super hard to save up for a decent charger. I couldn't imagine saving for a charger if I was married.

Some people REEALLLY do not get the joke!
Marshall....Do a google search on the term 69. Not 69 Charger, JUST the number 69.

Mike DC is right! I plan to sell mine within 10 years to avoid the "dump"

My question is people are ASKING these prices but are they getting them??? I just looked on Ebay for "1970 charger" haven't looked for parts for a while and was floored by what they want for parts! same question...are they getting that much for parts?

Oh, my contribution
$13K for non-running rusty parts car

Go into advanced search when looking for Chargers and click on the completed sales...that way you will see what they actually sold for rather than silly asking prices....makes for more realistic reading!

That's what I'm saying. I watch L.A. Craigslist quite a bit since it is only a couple hours away from me and tend to see a lot of ads like this.

[1974dodgecharger]

such a bunch of jokers......

Back to the thread topic........

That one is a prime example of an oxymoron...

This car is all original with under 40,000 miles, original 400 engine has been bored n stroked to 512 ci, trans was rebuilt with Mopar racing clutches, valves, and bands, w stall converter

So much for the "All Original".

I actually made the guy a offer a few days ago.  Well, his ad said to make an offer, so I offered $37500.00.

I received two e-mails back telling me what I could do with my $37500.00. I took that as a no on a deal.

[chargerboy69]

$140K? WTF is he smoking??

According to him its worth every penny.
