Allow me to "Donald Trump" this thread...

"F*** That car, and F*** that guy!"

that is all...

[socalcharger]

why? I see project non RT non #s matching buckets sell for 20k here in socal, so i think at 40k if he would take that would be a reasonable buy?

[tan top]

 

not sure about the bit in the ad ! saying never been painted    looks like its had some work , unless its my eyes or the fender stamping

[41husk]

Starting bid is 46K, why do you think he will take 40?

[tan top]

[socalcharger]

Im sure if you show up with 40K cash in hand he will be very tempted to take it probably after being jerked around by so many people by now

[41husk]

Maybe, the question is if 40 k is a value.

[41husk]

Survivor?  Looks like the trunk floor and drop offs may have been replaced

[myk]

The term survivor is so mis-used it's stupid.  Technically, aren't ALL of our cars "survivors?"

[41husk]

I guess so mine survived with a different motor, trans, quarter skins, wheel house, trunk floor, front floor, drop downs, end caps, paint, carpet and I am sure I missed something.  Other than that my car is all original

[cavemanno1]

Tan top,you trying the confuse people?You posted a picture of a 4 speed car up there as well

Not with a green interior.  He also says that it's got a green vinyl, but it sure looks like black to me.

That car has been for sale on fleabay at least 4 times. Half the price might be a better asking price.

Especially in this case, with all the "upgrades" it's far from a survivor...especially by Bloomington Gold standards.

  whoops   where the four speed  did that come from , no idea I posted RR1 j code  interior shot  !!     fixed       , thanks for the correction ! ,    

[hemi-hampton]

I noticed he wont show a good pic of inside door jambs but if you look close you can see the Engine compartment is a much darker green then fender tops & door jamb darker & I can see what looks like a 2 tone color line in door jamb where they back taped it on edge during repaint. View pic & let me know what you think. I think it's been repainted. LEON.

[68X426]

Damn Mytur, I agree twice with you, it's black and maybe good at 23k.

What's the world coming to when you are right twice?

[cavemanno1]

You guys are for real?Show me a good running,numbers matching rust free '68 r/t for 20k!

[Mytur Binsdirti]

It may be original paint, but I sure wouldn't want to keep it looking like that. To bring it to the standards I want, you're going to put 40 large into it. His price of 46 large is just way out of line; hence why it hasn't sold.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

It means that you are almost as wise as me. There is hope for you.

You live in Canada. ? Trump ?
No body knows who is charge in Canada ?

Sure we do.. Hydro One! lol

By "Trumping", I meant to make a painfully ignorant statement in order to prove my point; that is all.  It has quite literally nothing to do with me being Canadian. 

[68X426]

With two days to go, bids are zero.

[41husk]

I don't think he will take that

[Mytur Binsdirti]

With two days to go, bids are zero.

And yet he thinks he's sitting on 46 large.   

[alfaitalia]

Has anyone sent him a link to this thread? Lol. Might be fun!

Not with that Green on Green interior...   The bad thing is, that's not what bugs me the most.  Who the hell thought the red stripe on the hood was a good idea?!?  More so, why would you leave the "Camera Mount" on the trunk.  If you're trying to sell the car; PUT THE F****** wipers and antenna back on! 

[myk]

He figures it's a Charger, so it'd sell even if there was an elephant turd on the hood...

[verdelaw]

$20k for a real R/T in that shape?!  You are out of your mind    NADA and Hagerty come pretty close to each other... for a #4 car you're looking at at least $30k.  And this is more of a #3 car, so around $40k or so.  And from what I've seen on Clist, stealbay, and other sites.. Chargers are hot and selling for near these prices.  You wish you could buy that car for $20k 

His $46k isn't far off from what I can tell from this armchair. 

[41husk]

with 15 posts   I think he might have got a link to this thread

Chargers are hot and often sell for higher prices than other B-body Mopars, but, after numerous attempts on fleabay with a BIN of 46 large, that one sure aint selling. Any guess why?

With the trunk painted silver, that goofy red beak stripe, ugly wheels, aluminum radiator, wipers and antenna off the car, the hole in the firewall covered with duct tape, electric fan and bad wiring are all detriments to the car and make the car less presentable. However, the biggest detriment to the car is that green interior. Honestly, in today's market, I think it's a low-30's car. Sure, it may be original paint, combined with the obvious problems noted above, to me, there's too many dings  and paint flaws. I'd want to repaint it.

[verdelaw]

Lol getting judged by # of posts.. that's a new one 

Anyway I'm on board with you there turbyn.. it's not worth $46, but close.  You're at low 30s, I'm at high 30s, let's meet in the middle and email the guy with what we think he should ask for the car 

[verdelaw]

I looked at it again.. that nose stripe is hideous.  HIDEOUS!  Knocks like $3k off the car to start   I even like green cars, why would anyone do that stripe  

Here's a delusional price:  http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/5550720801.html

$40k for a clone (and zero pictures except a tiny engine bay shot)

You know, I've got a woordrow for a 68 R/T with factory a/c and if it had a black interior, I'd be all over it, but that green leaves me limp. As such, I'm stuck at 30,001.00.  

[68X426]

Somebody just blew up the estimates.  Which one of you opened the bidding at $46,000?  Goes by p***3 at ebay.

[lukedukem]

Wow. He should end the auction early and run with that 46k

Luke

[Patronus]

Holy cow! Didn't notice the "nose" "stripe"..
It is horrible. That could very well be the single worst thing I have ever seen done to a car.

[Mike DC]

  
You guys are harsh.


That red stripe might have been done 30 or 45 years ago.  Lots of people did that kind of stuff back before any '68 Charger was a rare classic.  

The trunkfloor might have been repainted with Rust Oleum long ago too.  
Even if it wasn't so long ago, I can think of worse things to deal with.  I would rather buy a repainted original trunk than a rusty one or a replaced one.  

The aluminum radiator is almost mandatory for cruising in a warm climate.  Modern gasoline runs the engines hotter than the original stuff did.  



They are saying it's an original car, not a restored one.  That means it hasn't been restored.  Its condition is the product of normal (non-collector) owners.

Compared to most 68 R/Ts on Ebay it's a damn sight more original than normal.  I don't think it's unreasonable for the seller to want to brag about this thing's originality.

[myk]

All good points....

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Don't worry, it'll be for sale again from the same person.

[68X426]

[68X426]

11 hours to go and only one bid at $46000. 

That red stripe is horrid.  I've never gotten to use the but on this one I have to use it.

His buddy bid on it.  It's no way close to 46k car.

[lukedukem]

Almost over. Still one bid from his buddy
Luke

[lukedukem]

And sold for 46k.
Should see it again soon

Luke

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Yup, it has "sold" a couple of times previously.
