Nice car but for that kind of money at least have the correct front end of a 1970 Charger instead of a 68 Charger. You're buying crowd is reduced when you customize to your liking.

Seats 6??? I only see 5

I am sure parts cars ain't easy to find across the pond.

It can be harder to find stuff, but I've had little to no issues getting things eventually.  From my personal observations, it would seem parts are harder to come by out west, but it's Canada it really just means we have to pay a little more ala shipping & duties. 

I'm curious to see just how bad that car was before they decided to give up and stick the 68 front end on.

I almost thought the paint was that shiny until I saw the garden hose under the car in one picture

Is it a scam or is he illiterate?

I'm pissed at the millenial generation that cannot take a decent picture. The friggin Iphone verticle aspect ratio looks like shit. Turn the camera 90 degrees sideways and take a picture that is wider than it is tall, you look like an uneducated ignorant asshole when you do it wrong.

This seller reflects pure laziness. Look at ad with the incorrect spelling, spacing, punctuation and attitude. And as Kern Dog mentioned, the lazy effort of taking pictures. He/she probably walked out to the Charger in between a video game break or a Twitter chat in their PJs, grabbed the iPhone, did a quick walk around photo shoot and then ran back into the house.

Not only the poor quality of the pictures are bad but also the scene of the display. Garden hoses dragged all over the place, not one full profile picture of the car, no interior shots and that awning pole being in the way. I mean for Christ sakes take the Charger to a spot that has a good background for a photo shoot if you're going to ask that kind of money for it.

And that the fact he/she is asking that kind of $$$ for this 1969 Dodge Charger warrants me for my complaining.

Not really selling a Charger, in fact, I don't know WTF this is all about, but it has a Charger in it plus another appalling attempt at communicating in English:

Interesting choice of exhaust tips too. The DTM-style tips died in the early 2000's, and were mostly used on euro cars. First time i've seen it on a Charger

right, if you can't spell Afghanistan or even fight, it doesn't bode well, of course looking like you're a stoned 13 year old doesn't help much either, and you're leaning up against a car that is worth way more than a puppy would cost, think you should just ask daddy for your allowance so you can buy a puppy. 

I'm beginning to wonder what a non delusional price for an XS restored to driver specs but not a Barrett Jackson level restoration is really worth.  Haggarty's values mine around 42k but what would it really bring? Guess I'll find out before too long, probably next year sometime once I've driven it around a bit first.  See restored RT SE's on ebay at 80k but they've been on market a while now also. 

It isn't uncommon to see people selling basket case cars thinking they are worth big bucks because they've seen em sell on tv for 100k. Only they didn't understand what a nut and bolt resto or rotisserie resto actually means.  Guess I should start referring to mine as restored now, as it isn't all original like it was when I got it 40 years ago.

If this car sells for $6,500 then both of my chargers are for sale.

This is a very good question. Seems like some of the guys that have had their Chargers for a while have a hard time with the prices at recent levels.
I can understand that, but, these cars are in demand. It's supply and demand. I wonder how many of these being sold are heading overseas. I imagine a fair #.

I see wanted ads for these cars all the time. Unless the prices are very high or the cars are just very rough, they don't seem to last long either. For good reason,
these machines are hot

WTF 1973 Dodge Charger SPORT

SPORT??? I know that in 1973 Dodge had a Dart Sport but not a Charger SPORT
The seller wanted to make sure that the viewers were aware that it is a sport hence the word sport being in caps.
And isn't this a 1974 Charger anyway going by the steering wheel?

This has your typical hack jobs on an over priced 3rd gen Charger.

The quarter window SE plug area
The Chevy under hood wire looms, red at that.
The gaudy spark plug wire separators.
The upper radiator flex hose with the sticker still on it.
The blacked out engine compartment.
A/C car missing the under hood A/C components.
The cheesy home job trunk carpet.
The non stock bucket seats.

Is this a car you can jump in and drive it around daily? Sure but not worth it at $13.5k

  Yeah , I see what your saying !

   

Another thing  ...   Today !  they have it soo easy with digital cameras,   take as many pictures as you like , check them all & only use the good ones !! its no brainer !
  now back in the ole days , before digital , you could excuse the odd crap picture  ...  no excuse today ,  go look on craigslist / ebay at a lot of the mopar  project pictures , total waste of time , might as well have taken  them , when its foggy & in the dark  , for all the good they are

Its all relative! Over here I'm looking at the cheaper end of the market to restore and cars not too different to the $6500 one or worse (engine out and dismantled so you don't know its all there, half missing interiors) are being imported from the States via a company in Holland and retailing on Ebay for around the £10,000 mark....that's about $14500! He has a different one on there every few weeks so I can only guess they must be selling. Makes the odd tatty but on the street ones I find for about £20,000 ($29,000) look good value....at least you know its mostly all there! Cant understand why anyone would pay that much for a stripped and rusted 69.....its cheaper to buy one from an auction in the States and import it myself!!

Edit.....here is the current offering from the Dutch guy.     http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/dodge-charger-/301860434727?hash=item464848b327:g:q9MAAOSwpzdWq7V0   £12000 is about $17500 by the way and that's just the starting price!! Id like to know on what planet that would be considered 95 % complete with most of the motor missing and no carpets!! And this one is the far less desirable 1970 model (over here at least....no offend to 70 owners!)LOL! Ill pass thanks.

  I don't think so, Tim. Maybe $3,000 less than half what you're asking. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/5418013761.html

In Vancouver BC: "68 CHARGER WITH A 69 TAILLIGHT. NEED QUATERS PANEL ON BOTH SIDES AND TRUNK FLOOR ...FRAME RAIL AND FLOORS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE....ALL COMPLETE 383 CAR WITH POWER WINDOWS AND TIC TAC DASH ...NOT RUNNING ..HAS BEEN IN A STORAGE FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS ASKING $18000 USA"

TIC TAC DASH 

If that 68 sells for the asking price, then mine is worth 35k.
