Delusional Charger sellers

[Kern Dog]

Trophy winner? Sure, in a three car show, it would probably get a 3rd place trophy.

[Challenger340]

That' s only around 35K U.S. Dollars... but still fugly even if it is a rust free '68 R/T.

[Ghoste]

Did you note all of the factory installed equipment on it?

[Homerr]

That much we can agree on, but what else sticks out to the more trained eye?

Concrete block parking brake, B&M style shifter, wrong seat covers, rear stripe in front of rear marker lights, so-so at best looking roll cage, hole in hood, not running/needs work, no R/T proof/documentation shown, silly paint job, and poor quality pics that don't really show the condition of the car or any underhood shot.

It has a footprint dimmer switch AND flames, maybe owned by joe dirts canadian cousin?

This red '68 r/t 4 speed has a fender tag which is strange for me(still learning)

All r/t 4 speeds came with Dana 60,didn't they,or am i wrong again?If they did shouldn't the axel code be 68 instead of 48 and the gear should be 3.54 not 3.23?It's either the tag is wrong or the car came with a 8 3/4 and Dana wasn't standard with r/t 4 speeds?

[Ghoste]

You are correct on the Dana and four speed RT as well as the gear.

While not a Charger, clearly this seller is high on crack...

Notice the beautiful bars on the windows of the house in the reflection of the glass.   Obviously a very good secure area of town.  
  I'm presuming he means $8k.  Clearly what we have here folks is a simple case of one mans junk is another mans junk.  It's a cool car and I wouldn't mind having it at all.  But I don't think it's worth $130,000+   
By the time you're done that's what you'll have in it.   

[Ghoste]

One mans junk is another mans junk.

Ebay ads like those are generally someone looking for what their car is worth. Price it so high that it will never sell and see what people offer you.

25k...what am I missing did these cars go up in value last couple years?

considering you can buy the entire main shell of a charger now brand new for 17000.00, the rest of the cars should go up in value considering the starting point has been redefined. 

You almost don't see nice driver quality chargers much for less than 40k.  I've seen some clunkers sell online for way over what I would give.

Amazing that Charger sold. First off lazy seller couldn't clean off the water/dirt spots before taking pics. And only 4 hood shot pics total??? WTF anymore

Oh and nice of them that they will clean the car upon pick-up.

This is an illusion. Nobody is reproducing these bodies as an welded assembly. You can buy many, many of the parts, but no "shell" is available new anywhere.

WOW...didn't know they did this service...buy a junk 5k rotting 2nd gen and give it to them to repair all and reputable....and well known....I say not bad.

[Lord Warlock]

Pretty sure I saw it in one magazine I bought recently, i'll list the advertisement here so yall can look it over, showed the basic shell of a charger, (no doors no fenders, but basic firewall to rear deck area all new and priced at 17k.  

Maybe it was a rotisserie they were advertising,  it was a US Car Tool Ad in the latest Chrysler power magazine.

[polywideblock]

was the "basic " deal from the website  above     inside cover           17K for just body

[Ghoste]

I didn't know US Car Tool were still in business.

Ask them how many of these they have actually completed.

[Lord Warlock]

But if that is just a starting point, spending 50k is going to be pretty easy by the time its close to finished. I don't know how some of you do it, what I consider a basket case many here would see otherwise and see a good deal.  It seems that any charger body is worthy of high dollar investment to build something, and value doesn't seem to matter on what it really is or was, but what it appears to be.  would have thought real XS cars were worth a premium over XP cars, but that seems to be less the case the more years slip by. 

[Ghoste]

I don't know?  Maybe the asking prices but I wouldn't be surprised if actual selling prices still show a premium for XS Chargers.
