Why even post it with such a price.
Someone feel free to tell he is nuts and dreaming.

There's a sucker born every minute. That was when I was a kid. There's more now.

[myk]

That's actually a steal.  My Charger goes to the first buyer that has 4 million, cash...

[Drache]

Sure its not an accident of one too many 0's? 

[1974dodgecharger]

Can't spell....

[Cooter]

IF and only IF it's a true "BOSS 302" Mustang, then it's a little high, but then again, why even attempt to put your asking price when there are those that live for the haggle rather than the car.

[tan top]

           real boss 302s  , are pretty rare now though , or is it the 71 shape 

[Ghoste]

He admits in the ad it isn't cheap.  I dunno, like Cooter says, its a bit high but maybe weeds out everyone who figures they should get a Boss for 15k?

[TUFCAT]

Based on his fuzzy pictures and equally 'fuzzy' description, he's probably not serious about selling it anyway. 

[Ghoste]

Good point too, CL is a great no cost way to test the water.  Not everyone is good at photos and posting though either.

[polywideblock]

that and if he gets no takers he can just say " sorry honey " no-one took the bait 

[ACUDANUT]

Lack of pictures clearly shows he does not want to sell.

I thought 15k is about right for this one?

[Ghoste]

For a Boss car?  If you can find good ones for 15k let me know.

[moparnation74]

No kidding!

[F8-4life]

idk you tell me, from the sound of it, its sounds like a 25k project car?

[ACUDANUT]

It's jus a little 302.  It's not like the holy grail.. Boss 429

[Ghoste]

Which is why the Boss 429 is worth more.  Saying the Boss 302 cars are nothing special is like comparing a Challenger TA to a Challenger with a 340 four barrel.

[ACUDANUT]

A Boss 429 still ain't worth 75K.  Remember we love Dodge here. 

[Ghoste]

Not denying my love for Mopar over other makes and have the bills, photos, stories, scars and ink to prove it but working in the classic car auction business I can't help but look at it realistically.  You're right, A Boss 9 isn't worth 75k.  You need to put at least a "1" at the front.

[Troy]

It seems most Mopar people assume every Camaro or Mustang is cheap. Bad assumption! A Boss 302 is neither common nor cheap - especially not a low mileage car with (hopefully) all the original parts. Heck, my 70 Mach 1 has a book value higher than every single one of my Mopars except the 68 Charger R/T 4-speed. As for restoration costs, you can build 2-3 Mustangs with NOS or very good repro parts for what it costs to do a 68-70 Charger. That car is still overpriced but not by nearly as much as you may think.

As an aside, one of the largest collectors/builders of 69 "R" Code (428 CJ Shaker) Mustangs is just up the road from me. Last time I took dad for a visit there were 14 finished cars plus a 69 Shelby, a 70 Boss 302 4-speed project and a 69 Torino Cobra. My dad spent most of his time looking at the Boss 302. Must be where I get my love for twisty roads...

That's not too bad of a price for someone who wants an original/unmolested example of a Boss 302.  (Assuming that the car is unmolested & original.)  Most "restored" Cars are selling for that price but would have to be completely re-done if you wanted a correct "Factory" Assembly Line example.  I think it is better to pay more for a good original Car than to spend additional money having to fix someone's incorrect work. 

[wingcar]

The seller is a Ford guy...get a rope........

[ECS]

I thought 15k is about right for this one?

I was offered 10 times that amount (literally) and I wouldn't sell mine.  I think they are one of the nicest looking Muscle Cars ever built.

[ACUDANUT]

IYO. But, I think the 69's is the best year fastback.. Nice car though.  
If you were offered 150K and did not take it, you must be loaded.

[ECS]

I wouldn't take a million for it.  It was the car that prompted & started ECS 17 years ago!

Sell me your Charger so your Mach 1 can have the highest book value of your collection!

That would work if I was more concerned about value than anything else! They match (both are blue/white) so if I sell one I don't have bookends any more. Then my books will fall over and that would make a mess.

I'd have to agree.  Personally, the 69 fastback would be the stang for me.  Don't let that detract from the fact your 70 is absolutely stunning though.
