Guys, prices that are concidered delusional in the US might be very moderate in Europe.
Not that I'm saying that 120 large for a Challenger is ok, but 25K for a small block 2nd gen looks moderate. Imagine that it costs shipping, VAT and import fees to get it here. A 20 grand car will cost me easily up to 30 grand by the time its at my doorstep.
That greatly affects resale value also since you dont find Mopars at every corner of the street over here

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

25k for a 2nd gen gets sold in a week but thats a 1st gen.

project 2nd gen in finland is 17-25k euros, driver 25-35k euros.

if the reserve is 25,500 for each one, thats actually not too delusional, would mmost likely sell

Delusional    [dih-loo-zhuh-nl]

As an "adjective" to "Charger Sellers"
having false or unrealistic beliefs or opinions

Whether we think it's nutz or not..... it would seem there are still many buyer's willing to pay $25K for a real R/T that is numbers matching, no matter a resto required.

Does that make us delusional commentators for not noticing they keep selling ? Like Einstein said... "the definition of insanity is conducting the same experiment over and over expecting a different result"
or,
is the general population stricken with brain damage for continuing to buy them ?

case in point:
Go back to page #1 of this thread,(now almost a year ago) and look at the Charger listed by the FIRST "delusional" seller for $28K
IMO,
it don't look so nuts now ?
a running, driving, 383 A/C car for $28K.

I must be out of touch thinking that a resto project which needs 50 grand put into is should sell for over 25 when a fully restored Charger R/T is worth around 50-60 large.


myk

I was wrong.  The madness hasn't died down and madness still prevails...

Reading through this thread I am remembering conversations from the eighties about cars from the east being something we (from the western persuasion) would laugh at as a prospect for revival.

To find a "keeper" from the west was a struggle with the transport cost then and I was amazed at what was being saved in the east. It seems little has changed but the rust bunny is still hungry. :lol:

The cars left are still emerging as they decompose and the value of our money is still going down.

Those that are delusional about their decomposing car's value are just part time caretakers that add to the hobby in their own way.----It's for sale now ---or later at a lower price. :Twocents:

Dunno if this one fits here or not ?

I will be curious to see the final bid price on this one, already pushing $30K with 5 days left in the auction ?
$35K to $40K ?

It looks to be in pretty good shape, albeit, it will require work or complete resto ?

Not a delusional seller because if there was a reserve it's already been met which leads me to believe that there are some delusional buyers out there. No way this car is worth over 30K. Sure it looks pretty nice but when you get to the pics of the undercarriage it's a little rusty. The seller even says, you can drive it now and restore it later. Final price will be under 35K and then the "buyer" will not pay so it will be back up. That's my guess....

If my driver R/T clone can get consistent offers of $30K then surely the real deal is worth it.  It looks like a nice unmolested car.  They were rusty while sitting o the showroom floor so this really doesn't look all that bad.  $30K is not what it used to be.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

:iagree:  I chatted with the guy, very nice.  Not only is it a numbers matching car, he has the build sheet and fender tag.  Not too many RT's is ok condition with all the numbers and documents.  I think this is well worth the money.   :Twocents:

Not a Charger but when I saw this ad I thought of this thread.

Can't be a tire kicker if the car can't drive.....

Are you ever tempted to go over to some of these guys shops and walk around the car just kicking the tires and then tell "okay thanks, I just wanted to kick your tires" and then get in your car and leave?
