Delusional Charger sellers

[303 Mopar]

Here's one for you guys....

https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/pml/cto/5667063284.html

Another "Numbers matching 318" listing.

Funny I thought that Chrysler did NOT stamp the small block engines back in the late 60s or any year for that matter???

I've never heard this.  I think all engines both RB (big block) and LA (small block) series engines had the VIN stamped on the block 1968 onwards.  I've seen numbers matching 340 cars, and I think even 318 cars.  Anyone else chime in on this?

They started stamping VIN's on ALL engine blocks in '68, however depending on when the engine mated with the car it may or may not have the VIN.

It's to grab that market of guys who sort the list "$$$ highest to lowest".

After 5 listings priced at $88,550,00 with no bids, might as well raise the price another $1,450.00. What a great sales concept!!!

IMO, I think the $1,450. price increase describes the "delusional" market in a nutshell ?  If it doesn't sell at a stupid price ? just make the price even stupider !
And that would be my perception at a first glance as well ?

But then again, on closer inspection of monetary policy, it just may NOT be that hard to explain ?
Because the really fine examples of these Cars have become "Investments" for wealthy individuals looking to park money in safe havens ?(a record amount of money in the U.S. is in a "flight to safety", assets, collectibles to retain value, ANY value, ANY where)

One then needs only look at even 10 year U.S. Treasury Bond yields over the past 5 months since February until now, which have dropped to record lows in recorded history since the year 1790 !.
Even from 1.7% which was a record low back in February 2016.... to the current new record low of 1.38% 2 days ago trying to discourage people "parking" money for safety.

Why NOT put it into a collectible Car ?

Not to mention the Reserve has not been met on the 90k car

Significant price drop on the Idaho DOH car

Maybe it's just listed as "free advertising" for their company?

There is a '67 Coronet R/T that has been making the rounds for years. One car dealership buys it, has it listed for $75,000, draws people to their website or dealership in person. Eventually it's sold to another dealership who does the same thing. Been bouncing around for about 6 years like that.

He's trying to get every penny he spent on that car, and then some.

Love the sheetmetal work on this one...

Inn today's money, I'd say that the current bid is about what that roach is worth.

I find that kind of patch-job refreshingly honest. 


If it was covered in bondo and JC Whitney patch panels, it would be starting at $15k and not any better of a car.

Wow!  I didn't know they had Chargers in Cuba... 

I'd definitely have to agree there, but I'd totally snatch that interior.

I would guess that car would sell for around 6k on ebay, I would give around 4k for it.

1 day in the books and it's already at $3550.00. Way more than when MTD posted it at the $1200.00 range.

Amongst the pop rivet patch work, did anyone notice the funky driver's side mirror?

Some good parts on this Charger. If I were to land it, I would drive it around some before tearing it apart. But the current bid has exceeded what I would offer.

[1974dodgecharger]

not bad im sure he did spend 120k for it....I wouldn't buy it for 90k though I rather bought a HEMI and allocate the money afterwards.

E85? Really? He's having hard times but won't part for less than 90k? I'd rather sell my car than go homeless.

102 large...Seriously???    ....with those battery cables, rear shackles and a rot bubble waiting to explode in the rocker.

Hey you're supposed to leave the battery terminal knit picking to me lol. That's my biggest pet peeve on these $40,000+ Chargers.

I'm with ya on this listing making the Delusional thread, this seller needs a good kick in the pants. 

[cbrestorations]

it just amazes me the prices these dealerships try and put on cars...

[hawkeye]

Looks like the original oil filter.   

[6spd68]

For over 100 large, I'd at least expect a better steering wheel 

[MoPaR 312]

Pretty sure that car was on eBay a few years ago also.  Is the console top plate painted the body color?

[ACUDANUT]

turbin,

Where is the rot bubble ?

Slide the picture all the way to the right and you'll be able to see it. It looks like a giant zit that's been popped.
