What always surprises me is these people who can sink over 100 grand into a toy yet still cannot use proper grammar and punctuation.  What kind of job are they doing that does not require these very basic skills yet they get paid this much?   

Good luck to both sellers getting rid of those cars at their asking prices.

A very nice car if you are into Pro Touring/resto mods but at $187K would seem to meet the criteria for this thread!

I don't know. If that animal trap in front of the greeb car is included I think this might be a fair price.

Those restomod things are always a tough sell.  It sucks up an enormous amount of money to do them but they are one persons vision and you have to find that one buyer with deep pockets who shares your customized tastes.

Agree on the restomod but this one seems to be quite pricey.  RKMotors has two for $149k and $139k which seemed high until I see the $188k listing noted above.

At the risk of becoming a delusional seller in the future I have a 67 Charger being restomod'ed.  Car was non-matching numbers with a '78 400 when I bought it.  I was not planning on the restomod theme but at each fork in the road (engine (wanted horsepower that worked), transmission (switched to 6 speed), brakes (wanted to stop), suspension (RMS worked well with modern Hemi)) I went with something modern.  With the exception of the tires (17" most likely) my goal is to retain the original appearance both inside and out.

Your project is fitting into the restomod. It's something you want to fill your passion.
When we start talking about market value it messes up the issues.
A buyer for a restomod car is so much harder to find that it may as well be tossed as an option. That is if one expects to recover cost.
When we build a car to our liking is it not for us?-- and seldom the next owner?
A good question for someone looking for a car is ---how about a restomod?  Does someone else's project make your socks roll up and down?  Do you start thinking of the changes to be made?
Money/value is always an issue but the bottom line is it cost money as apposed to recovering losses and getting ahead.
We spend to play---this is not a business!

Thanks for the note.  Agree 100%.  Having my car made to taste for maximum fun, not to make money.  After owning for 14 years thought I should do it right.  Fully realize the financials.

[Patronus]

Ha! Perfect idea for thread. Now I know where I can go for a laugh, like that green '68. Who paints the dash green with a black interior!!!? 

[1974dodgecharger]

their vision their money, but don't tell people what their vision is when its your owns.


I saw that black one for sale and YES its a nice setup, but damn he wont get his money back.

Unless your our TURBIN resident who got a STEAL on a ORIGINAL HEMI CAR WITH ENGINE ETC....AND JUST PUT IT TOGETHER that's a different story.

[bigdsul]

I'm going out on a limb and see if the 1970 charger 500 seller is a legitimate seller. Sounds like a scam.

Selling 1968 Dodge Charger R/t 440 car . Have motor with car and tranny Car needs complete restoration but a rare option car ac cruise r/t vinal top car no back seat with car. and left rear inner window structure was cut out for a donar car before I bought it. Price is firm no tire kickers or trades. have lots of extra parts. All front aprons and frame are in great shape.

I think at $5000 it is a little more than double over a real price

About 2 years ago I saw a 1967 Dodge Charger for sale in a yard. I stopped and the home owner told me it was $12000 and belonged to a friend of his. The car had ripped seats, ripped carpet, fresh paint, but the car was covered in dings, and they just painted over the area's where the former paint was peeling, and flaking. I asked if it was a HEMI car and the home owner did not know but told me I could look under the hood. It was a non power, non ac,318 car with auto trans. I asked to make sure he was telling me the correct price. Did you say $1200, he was like "Oh NO!" The price is $12000, not a penny less. I just laughed, thanked the nice man and drove away.

What always surprises me is these people who can sink over 100 grand into a toy yet still cannot use proper grammar and punctuation.  What kind of job are they doing that does not require these very basic skills yet they get paid this much?   

Holy shit... you just spoke the most truthful words I've read in a week.
Somehow these assclowns are able to spend an ungodly amount of money having someone else build their cars yet they have terrible language skills. It really does defy logic because I see it this way:
*The people MOST skilled at restorations are not office worker types. 
*The people with the most disposable income for these high dollar restorations are VPs, CEOs, Investors and white collar guys that went to college.

That Green 68 looks fantastic from the outside, but thats where it ends. The interior is hideous. The engine bay looks strange with the smoothed out firewall too.

[myk]

I like the 2+2 arrangement, the color of the interior along with the body color accents...

[tan top]

think its the sign of the times now  , with internet &  free or almost free advertising & or only pay when sold ,  put up any price you like ! only takes one guy with more money than brains , then its Job done . if every one stopped buying / bidding on over priced junk ( well not junk but some  cars that should only be a few grand IMO ) prices should come down ( maybe )
think this could be/ is going to be  a long thread ,  if all the over priced cars were posted    then again we all try to make a bit of dough on cars etc  , but some of these prices are well ......


no offence meant to anyone  , each to their own

Thats because their secretaries/assistants do all of this review and publishing at work. This is what happens when left to their own devices.

But then again, I've known some decidely blue collar business owners that pull down $100k yearly incomes.

Imo, one can ask whatever they like....threads like dis one are only because people are just this side of afraid they might just sell....

[DixieRestoParts]

Funny thread. I see this a lot myself. Seems everyone with a rusted out 318 hulk thinks it's a 10K car.  The restomod thing falls into the "hotrod" category in my opinion.  People spend big money on hotrods (typically, pre-WWII cars), where there might be a few basic principles they follow, but mostly it's the builders vision. Admittedly, cool cars. But, you really have to find someone with that same vision and deep pockets. Not always easy.

I don't follow the pre-war or hotrod market so I don't know if a ZZ Top replica hotrod has the same market value as a '34 Ford restored to stock specifications. With Mopars, when you get to 100k+ pricing you can usually buy the super rare stuff. The Hemi's and Six-packs. In my humble opinion there is a bigger market for restored or closely restored (think headers, aftermarket wheels) super rare muscle cars than there is for restomod cars that in a lot of cases you really can't drive much either. Yeah, they'll corner, have a/c, a billion horsepower, but if you drive it, you get it dirty, chip the paint, etc. So, how many 100k+ restomods get street driven on a regular basis? If I were a bettin' man, I'd say the same percentage, maybe a little higher, as restored Hemi cars. So, I think that creates an even smaller pool of potential buyers. I appreciate the vision of these cars and the builders, but wouldn't recommend anyone do it unless they plan to keep the car forever. And understand if you to sell, you'll likely take a bath.  Just my

You never can tell who's loaded with cash up in the great white north of ND these days...you definitely can't judge a book by it's cover.

With the oil boom going ape-sh*t up here, some of the most unlikely and/or undeserving types have money hanging out of their pockets  The dough could come from some parent/grandparent/long-lost uncle that left a loser a bunch of mineral rights.  

Or maybe you might bump into a goof that is filling one of the countless manual labor/CDL jobs who earns himself easily >$100K annually.  No education, IQ or morals required...just a monthly piss test and a willing attitude to put your back into it and deal with everything a ND winter can dish out.

You see it all the time up here.....dudes who look like they have a hard time counting their nuts tooling around in nice rides and acting like pricks.

We just had a local business open up that specializes in muscle cars and they claim to have the biggest indoor car showroom in ND.....and it's filled with muscle cars.......in ND.   There's disposable income galore up here.

No clue where they even see that value in the first vehicle...  Not to mention the interior is WORSE then the green 68 above.  Heck, I could replicate that dash with a couple board cutouts, and self tappers.

The 2nd, well...  Dunno who else here would pay that...
