Not too delusional yet....but Im sure it will be!! Already seems a far whack for a rusty triple green....but I've mainly put it here for the quality of most of the photos. Preparation must have consisted of covering the lens in grease and then jumping up and down as he pushed the button!! Next to none are in focus. Classy sunroof too.

Don't encourage 70sublime... Er... I mean the anonymous seller

Yah, I missed it was a Port Dope car. I like his write up, totally honest description and it does have a good roof and cowl section. I forget what I paid for my AMD upper cowl, but probably close to what he wants for this shell.

also hard to tell what is for sale exactly from the listing.  Shell has more than a few imperfections as well.

This looks like a legit Dukes of Hazard replica...

$125K and it's not finished! How is that even possible? 

[Kern Dog]

Because the guy is a jerkoff that paid full retail for everything, paid people to do the work and simply wrote checks until he ran out of time and money.

Sad, but true.

[birdsandbees]

Really KD, what do you think the metal and body work cost on my Bee and as you know I've done ALL the mechanical and assembly work. Guess I'm a jerk off too because I paid someone to do body work.  

[ACUDANUT]

125K and not finished. ? I'd Sell my 70 Charger for half that and it needs NOTHING.

Come on....$125,000 and the car is not finished? I'm not blaming you. Don't play the victim. I was referring to people that pay through the ass for everything like that guy appeared to do.
I'd think a SuperBird or a Daytona could get that high or worse due to the rare and specific parts of those cars. THe other appeared to be a standard body Charger.
Don't get offended when your case is not even closely related.

These kinds of jerkoffs keep the economy going.  They keep aftermarket companies in business.  They keep skilled restorers employed.  It's their willingness to pay somebody else to do something well, even if the result is a net money-loser for the guy writing the checks.


He is gonna lose money on the sale of a half-finished car.  That's his own fault.  But it's a gain for pretty much everyone else being affected.

I'm not playing the victim or getting offended. As to "even closely related" I have about that, US$'s, into my car and I'm doing all the work, other than body work. Just asked a simple question, am I a jerk off because I kept 3 guys employed for 6 months doing metal work, body and paint.

[Kern Dog]

Christ, still playing this like the ugly girl that doesn't get asked to dance. YOU were never mentioned.
"Because the guy is a jerkoff that paid full retail for everything, paid people to do the work and simply wrote checks until he ran out of time and money."
Anywhere in there...was YOUR name mentioned? Stop trying to make a case where none exists.

A lot of work has been done on that Charger. 38K is not crazy priced.

[Challenger340]

LOL !
Tough crowd around here.

Reminder to self.... BEFORE ever contemplating selling ? post a "WIW" thread here first, lest I make the "delusional" thread.

[Back N Black]

With the muscle car boom in the last few years, people with deep pockets are paying big money to have cars restored. Look at all the new TV series and what the cost is to build a turn key car.

Yep, makes no sense to me, but people are still spending HUGE Money !
Spend it if you got it I guess ?

A friend of mine has the bug and was recently quoted $100K to $120K CND Dollars to restore a '68 R/T !  He then promptly phoned me inquiring "if" and "how much" for my '69 ?

Makes it really difficult to want to accept a whole LOT less than the $100K CND Dollar minimum he was quoted to "restore", when the wreck '68 he got estimated was $30K up front just to BUY it ? #'s matching Engine/Trans but NO B-Sheet/missing parts.

Sure a lot of work has been done. He/she probably has more than 38k invested in that project due to the personal touches in the interior. Sure there's probably a small tiny market of people that MIGHT pony up that 38k for a '71 Charger non R/T. But they'll be sitting on it for awhile looking for the right buyer.

Why do people invest money in muscle cars, add their personal touches, dump a ton of money in it and expect to make a profit?

I don't think people expect to MAKE money. I'm pretty sure they think they will get their money back.....which we both know is seldom the case.
It's a little bit like construction costs in that people wish they'd done the restoration 15 years ago when labor was cheaper. Some bite the bullet and restore a car expecting cars to keep appreciating. But cars are so much more cyclical.

I wouldn't do that! I've been "featured" 3 or 4 times in the "delusional" section....but I always get the Charger sold for really close to my estimated sale price.
