Delusional Charger sellers

[VegasCharger]

People that post vertical aspect/Portrait pictures need a kick to the dick.

I'm with you on this one KD, but I'm growing tired of bitching about it because it's never going to get resolved unless iPhone and Android makes it default to horizontal. And while you're wanting to kick someone in the Dick, direct one towards the SnapChat creator who encourages VVS (vertical video syndrome). They came up with a creative way to fill the void on both sides of the image/video. So people think yeah this is cool.

Go to a concert and you'll see at least half of the audience taking videos and how many of those are holding their camera sideways? The stage is wide and there is no way to get all of the performers in the same frame if holding the phone the lazy vertical way. People say it's more complicated to hold the phone sideways, WTF!!!

Okay back to delusional Charger buyers sellers.

Some people are idiots that should never breed.

I called on this, and they want $85,000 for a '68 440 auto Charger.  I like the car and condition, but not what they did to it for $85,000?  Original paint, sure, but it's worn down to nothing, and it looks like parts were repainted, so not really original.  The motor and trans were rebuilt, but to what specs and with what?  Too much done that they want to be overcompensated for, and stuff I wouldn't have wanted anyone to do.  As far as I'm concerned, they want way too much money for a car they messed with.  Delusional seller, or am I?

Looks like a 68. Regardless, it is priced at over double the value.

SURVIVOR.. UNMOLESTED..

.... goes on to list all the ways it has been molested.

I  think they're fishing at least $20k high.

The ad is full of contradictions:

"SURVIVOR.. UNMOLESTED.. MOSTLY ORIGINAL PAINT.."

Odometer shows 83,000 miles and believed to be true.

"Upgraded all 4 wheels with Wilwood Disc Brakes."

"Over $25,000 spent on the drive-train rebuilt and the new upgrades"

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Over $25,000 spent on the drive-train rebuilt and the new upgrades.....where?

[JB400]

Looks like they cleared over the patina.

[Slowpoke]

just to be picky the console should be metal ribbed finish not flat black vinyl.

[69rtse4spd]

Looks like a new trunk pan, different shade of green compared to the back of the quarters. Also what the heck did they do to the front door arm rests, lean on them, like all the time. No spare tire or rim, no trunk mat also, bet they got no jack either.   

[Mytur Binsdirti]

  Also what the heck did they do to the front door arm rests, lean on them, like all the time.  

Looks like they need Viagra.

Also, a green dash with black seats, console, door panels, horn button & carpet & replaced black headliner (with no shoulder belts)? New vinyl top? Take it to the bank that this is originally a triple green car. You can see the bottom of the door is green (along with a missing door gasket) & the door panes are obvious replacements. The stripe is new & placed in the wrong location. As bad as the factory was, they were never that bad.







Add to it all the missing parts & new trunk floor & you could say that this car's been screwed with more than a Las Vegas hooker.

This has to stop. They are just cars but when they are now getting to the prices of most of our house's cost it has gotten to the extreme. Who is buying & paying these top dollar crazy prices for these cars. No one I know....

[timmycharger]

doesn't look like it's stopping anytime soon...

[Dieselholic]

Nice tail stripe placement on the second one, and heater hoses laying on the shock tower. Why does the color look so weird in the pictures? Over enhanced?

[68X426]

I thought the same thing about the red paint - too much trickery with the enhancement.

The hoses - apparently they were glued in place with super glue.   

[JB400]

If they're asking Barret Jackson prices for our cars, why don't they take them there?

Throw a No Reserve on the ticket and see what they actually go for.

Why does this have to stop, you don't like your car being valuable??  Does anyone else here hope their cars go down in value??  I Don't! and Just for the record I don't live in a 85K-100K house like you claim you and many here do, pretty insulting.  Does anyone realize that you can't buy a car and build it for the cost of some of these "high priced cars" and how many of you guys pay asking price without making an offer anyway? 

[6pkrtse]

LOL. I don't like it because now I can't buy all of the 2 Gens that I want. I don't have big money either. I have had my red 70' Charger for 27 years & I don't have $10,000.00 into it to this day. In fact I don't have as much into all 4 of my 1970 cars that some are asking for there rusted out bondo bucket junk these days.

so when you sell you 70 RTSE you're going to ask $10,000 for it and not what the market will bring, right.  I'll give you that right now.  You can be the first Delusional seller in this thread that sells too cheap

[6pkrtse]

It will never be for sale. I don't care what it is worth. It will be handed down to my kids when I am gone. I guess they can worry about what it is worth then.

Did not really know if your are being serious about house prices.....can you really buy a house in the US for under $100k? You could not buy a decent garage to keep your Charger in for that in the UK...ok slight exaggeration ! But my fairly normal house (other than beach location on South Coast) is with about £300,000 (about $420,000).....and my house is far from expensive around here and I know many regular guys who live in much more expensive digs.

And I'm sure you will advise them before you are gone to get the least amount of money they possibly can for the cars when they go to sell them, NOT market value.  
and I don't think you can make the case that "I don't have big money either" with a car list like this:
1970 Charger R/T S.E. 440 sixpack.
1970 Challenger R/T Drag Radial/10.5 big inch all alum 16 plug Hemi twin turbo.
1970 Charger 500 S.E. 440 4 BBL
1970 Road Runner 383 4 BBL
1996 Dodge Ram 2500 V-10 488 cu in.
2012 Challenger R/T Classic

Absolutely! In many places. Or you can pay 1/2 a million for an $8,000 trailer on a leased lot if you want to live in Los Angeles or New York City. Cost of living is widely varied here but it's amazing how many people don't realize it. Near where I live I can get land for $1,500-5,000 an acre that's connected to all utilities. The same distance the other direction and it's $30-40k an acre. Get in the city and that won't get you a lot big enough to park your car in. I doubt you could rent a park bench for that in NYC! But go out west maybe 25 miles out of town and you're back to $200 an acre and modular homes can be had starting around $60k brand new. Even with the current "boom" I have to carefully set my filters on the various realty sites to pare the list down to something manageable.

I have a good story about home prices but little time to tell it. The short version is I looked at a house here that was 5,500 sq/ft on 5 rolling acres overlooking a valley with 3 stories of windows in the great room and a 4 car garage with a 50x100' barn that had an RV door on one end for $395k then went to Long Island New York to pick up a Charger and the guy there was selling his 2 bedroom, single level ranch on 1/4 acre with a "1 car" garage (that barely held the Charger) for $400k. I didn't ask about property taxes but all other taxes, fuel, and food are higher. It cost me $28 just to drive across the bridges with a trailer. (We barely have any toll roads.)

On a related note, I literally could buy a house with what I have one car insured for. It's depressing when shopping for cars!

250K for ten acres in Kansas (where I live)  Prices keep going up. 

[Kern Dog]

That is a good price. Kansas is pretty flat though. I like some hills around me.
