tough sell

[charger01]

I have seen this charger on ebay numerous times within the last month or so.  fender tag doesnt match the dash vin?? dash vin screwed on with regular screws?  I can see why he's having a hard time selling it.

 Yeah I saw that , it looked decent untill I saw the phillips head screws on the VIN, WTH?

[ACUDANUT]

Orange paint under that VIN plate too !  But to be fair, I changed out my entire dash (it was old and trashed)  VIN rivets were not to be found at the time.

the VON and VIN are different. i believe 68 used the VON on fender tag and VIN for dash? someone correct me if i'm wrong

For a 68 , you are correct.

[Homerr]

And a broadcast sheet is the only thing that connects the VIN and VON on '68's.

There is so much wrong with that car; where does one begin?

[ACUDANUT]

With money !

In today's day and age, I'd say he's still got a decent 18-21K driver quality car.  It could be a great car for someone that could slowly pick away at it's issues.

Agreed. It wouldn't take a great deal to add all the little things
that car needs to be a very nice daily.........orange under the
tag or not.

I agree, other than the Phillips head screws holding on the VIN making me worry about title issues it looks like a decent driver quality car to me. What all am I missing, I truly do wish to learn what to look for on these.

Actually the fourth time listed in about last two weeks.  Last listing was with no reserve though the last bidder was a low volume ebayer with no feedback so who knows what happened to that "sale" which ended at a little over $20K which makes the Craig's list ad hard to reconcile.  See VIN picture.

With all of the recent threads here about people desperate to buy and not having enough money to buy a decent Charger project, that eBay car will do someone right.  So what if it's got this, that and the other thing that's wrong with it?  Not every Charger is destined to be some 1,000,000 point correct concourse 'd elegance show car with the factory gas in the tank and a factory line worker mummified and preserved in the trunk. Someone who appreciates Classic Mopar muscle is going to climb into that thing and have a blast driving it around town, body plates be damned.

I feel bad for the owner though.  Having to choose between a home and the Charger is rough...

I agree, not a bad car to start with
It's not an rt, it's big block , has lots of nice options, the things wrong with it are not too much to deal with , car you could drive and work on and improve,
Vin rivets would be high on my list
Cavemanno1, wants to learn guys on what to spot that's wrong or needs work
Come you all have good eyes
I'll start
Wrong seat covers , but this could be personal taste, not everyone likes the a vandal just slashed my seat covers look
Upper door pads are covered in vinyl
The big issue for me and a rust area , rear window , cnrs to stainless don't fit, these challenge most guys to fit these properly, but they have been off, would hope this areas been fixed properly, trunk floor two piece welded in , rear deck window is usually the cause of rot to trunk floor,
Come on some else, I'm going back to look at photo's
