WHY

[ht4spd307]

  I DON'T SEE THE MONEY IN THIS WHY WOULD YOU BUY IT

Usually I'm all about saving them, but that one would be like buying an axe and replacing the handle and the head...

[Mytur Binsdirti]

The bidding is up to 2 grand and there's not 50 bucks worth of parts on it. Whoever buys has as bad visions of grandeur than the seller did when he bought it.  

[69bronzeT5]

I knew Charger prices were ridiculous but jeez....

[JR]

This would be perfect for the Fast and Furious movie builders. Who would care if they cut this one up to drop the skin over another chassis.?

[1974dodgecharger]

people who get into this hobby thinking they are gonna make money don't realize buying a 2nd gen charger will swallow your wallet and not even burp.  They think oh it just need sheetmetal and we can double the profits then realize a 2nd gen costs 2 to 3 times more than a chevy or ford to build and then try to sell it off to the next sucker.....HENCE why even ford and chevy guys admire the 2nd gen its a RARE car to see indeed.

[bull]

Was it parked in the Dead Sea?

[ws23rt]

Could this just be a --sub-- market in the hobby we are looking at?

A whole group of speculators that sell to each other?---I found some rust and it's for sale.

The next owner quickly finds themselves in a place where the only place to go is to sell to another rust buyer.

Just another way to enjoy owning a charger I guess.

Frankly speaking  I would rather have a wall size picture of a charger to enjoy rather than something like this to deal with in my yard.

MAYBE GARDEN ART

MAYBE GARDEN ART

That's a pretty good idea you got there.

Now if only our home owners association would let us do this...

[Mike DC]

  
$2000 and not even a VIN or title with it. 

There's something funny going on here.  Chargers are expensive but this is off the map.

Not even that is scrap metal. 

[6spd68]

You never know, someone may buy it...  After all, some people just want to say they owned a 69 Charger...

No truer words have ever been spoken.

[Chad L. Magee]

I can see a potential use for it.  The buyer could put it in their yard and cover it with a tarp.  You would be amazed to see how much attention that it would bring just like that. ...

Or will it to a relative that you do not like....

[70 sublime]

I think this has more to do with the price than anything

Every first time Charger owner has to start someplace
$2000 is not a big price to pay if you learn you need to find a better car and just use this one for bits and pieces then sell it off when you are done with it to the next learner new guy

[Dreamcar]

I thought mine was getting near unsalvageable (luckily 70Sublime found it when he did  ), but this one I think has reached that point of no return. Are those steel pipes holding up the back of the car because the frame rails are gone?

[Mike DC]

Yeah, looks like it might be hardware store electrical conduit pipe. 


I wonder if this actually is the Fast/Furious bunch bidding.  They are filming right now.  Somebody must need a Charger body pretty badly.  They put this big bid up with 4 days to go on the auction.  $2000 is a lot for a body shell with no VIN, no title, and no lower half.

Either that, or maybe the seller has some shills working for him. 

[68pplcharger]

Looks like the same condition as the car I've getting parts from for the past four years at Jimmie's farm. It was a green 68   

[ht4spd307]

i can see this in a McDonald's kids play ground area

[VegasCharger]

Too many jagged edges for the kids to hurt themselves. Lawsuit 

[redgum78]

Its got 52 bids so there must be some interest out there.
Cant see it myself given it has no vin, no title and no solid metal left in it!

[Mike DC]

     
It could be 51 bids for a couple hundred bucks and then 1 big bid.  IMO that's likely.

Makes sense. There would be plenty of us that would pay a few hundred for it.

[cbrestorations]

Holy cow...I better put my 69 donor car on ebay...it's 10x what that car is lol

[De-von68]

Good looking boat anchor, where would you even start lol

[VegasCharger]

Holy cow...I better put my 69 donor car on ebay...it's 10x what that car is lol

You got that right. 

[6spd68]

I think I'd rather start with THAT one ^^^

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Restoring those things would be like restoring this...

Back in the day one had to pay to have that kind of POS hauled off!

[ws23rt]

With just a few more years sitting in the dirt it could be tilled in and be called ore.

[cbrestorations]

You got that right.  

Lol that 3/4 of a car is not a donor, that's my 69 r/t. I'm fixing that car soon. I've got the metal to fix it now

[VegasCharger]

Oops sorry 

Was this the one you were talking about 

[cbrestorations]

Lol no, that's my other 69 r/t cruise control export car...this is daisy's stunt double.

[Baldwinvette77]

It wouldn't be so bad if it was.. Free.. or like... 200$... tops. but 2000$ is way steep 

[ws23rt]

If this was mine I would donate it to the local mopar wrecking yard for yard credit.

I may be able to use the extra $50 or so for a particular piece of rust that I might need.--Share the bones.--(This is not a car or even a zombie)

[Charger_Fan]

This is true!

Man...you guys are picking on my poor charger lol, she will live again,  and actually the 3/4 of her that is left is rust free. I bought a donor car from a wrecking yard to fix it.

Wow someone actually bought it and brought it back home now prob said wth did i do and trying to unload it.

When GM guys have Mopars

[Pat1973charger]

Who would ever try to restore something like that 

[Mike DC]

   
Not everyone wants to do a stock resto.  Racers & customizers need body shells too.

I think that they were referring to the OP's topic Charger. 

[6spd68]

It's not just Charger owners...

I think that one is in Canadian dollars. 

[6spd68]

Indeed, but would you pay that?

[VegasCharger]

$1500.00 Canadian = $1153.23 USD (I just looked it up).

I'd be all over that 68 Coronet for that amount if it were local to me with no shipping cost.

Many $$$ awaits in parts.

I dunno ...  I'm thinking the glass +window trim wouldn't bring that much.  What else is really useable from those pictures?
