Hemi Super Bee WM21J8G****** What's it worth ?

WM21J8G****** What's it worth ?


Beat up, rusted.

318  under the hood, so I assume the original K-member is gone.

Column shift automatic.

Missing one fender.

Currently no title, but let's assume a clear title will be provided.

It's been stored inside for the last 15-20 years.

Full of raccoon shit.

What is the least it should bring ?

fender tag or broadcastsheet present to document the car?

There was a burned out '68 Coronet Hemi car that sold for $5000 CDN missing the engine (fender tag and vin tag still there though) a few years ago.

Unknown.

It was freaking dark and hot in there.

But, the VIN tag is healthy and unmolested.

Still riveted to the dash with the correct rivets.

I loooooove 68 Coronets. Although I may shoot myself if I ever buy another project...

You would look good in it.

Yeah. Is is green? If it's blue and white it would match the rest of my fleet...

It's either that pale yellow or white with a black interior.

Hard to tell...it was dark in there.

So you've got a rusty car in a dark, hot cave that you don't know anything about. This may impact the value slightly...

Still out of my budget.

Yep.

Actually, the car is not mine, I was asked by a friend to take a look at it and try to give him a rough idea of what he could expect to get out of it.  

This is what happens when people put their cars in storage, and stop paying the rent.


     

[ws23rt]

So will this car be sold to pay for the storage rent owed?

I believe that is the plan.

It's been there a l-o-n-g time.

Fender tag and broadcastsheet are important to make a connection between the VIN and the body.
No tag, no sheet no real value

I'll know more when we hook a log chain to it and drag it out of there.  

[RallyeMike]

Out of curiosity, is being sold by the owner to pay back rent, or sold by the storage facility to collect whatever they can on the debt?

If the fender tag is there, I would guess $5-10k depending if we are talking mid-west rust or Montana rust.

Daytona, check your PM please.

It will eventually be sold by the property owner...


It's mid-west rust.

And...

Raccoon shit.

Lots of raccoon shit.

[Daytona R/T SE]

Daytona, check your PM please.   

Dan, I replied to you yesterday...

Just resent it. 

[68X426]

If that raccoon shit is organic it could be worth a good dollar in this day and age.

Bring a shovel.

Just found out...


No fender tag.

Is the fender tag super important on a 68/69 Hemi car? They don't have the possible options of say, a 70-71 car, so unless it's a factory black car, and the factory chassis modifications are present...

I agree - not super important.  The missing Hemi is what's the killer.

I also agree that a missing fender tag on a 68/69 hemi car is not huge a value issue.  

With the vin matching the body stamping's and the chassis modifications being correct as being the bigger deal here. (about it's heminess).  IMO those identifiers  would answer the biggest question a buyer needs to make a decision.

As for the rest of the trim and options not being documented by a tag?  ---So what--- the original engine is not their so it will never be what it once was.

A good question though is----If every original part on that car were present.  What would the lack of a fender tag have on the value?

If the car had very rare options then the fender tag would help the value a little even without the original engine. But if it was just a totally plain normal car but just happened to come with a Hemi then really the fender tag isn't needed.

If you had a numbers matching car with very rare options and wanted top dollar then you'd need the fender tag to prove the car came with those options.
