Sorry if I offended anyone. I come from a time when a persons word actually meant something. (until proven different) If you said something it was actually the truth. The post was "What's it's worth" Not "This guys a lair". Or Prove it. This car is very rare and one of a kind. I was willing to share the car with the people on this site. By stating the miles are not what I say they are your calling me a lair. I do take offence to that. The 2 previous owners were very close friends who were true Mopar guys (when mopars weren't cool). I have many wonderful stories about this car that I will share with the next owner. My friends both died very young 45 and 42 They both loved and cared for this car the same as I do. When this car does go up for sale it will be sold to someone who will appreciate and cherish it or I'm going to be the one who will profit it from it not some BS car flipper.  When my time comes and I see them again they will know that all the time we spent to persevere this car was not in vain.

Without any other pictures, to answer your question, I'd guess it to be worth $45-$55k.  I'd also guess that you think it might be worth a fair bit more than that.  If you have people showing up at your house asking about a car, that is buried in a garage somewhere else, tell them $90k, or $1m...

You may have offended everyone that doesn't have an unrestored, numbers matching 14,000 mile survivor R/T...

"I have seen a lot of rusty junk charger R/T's (no engines) selling for 15,000 to 20,000. I've seen what people call survivor cars with 318's and 383's that run and haven't really had anything done to them but still need quarters,trunks and everything else sell for 20,000 to 35,000. Then you have the Non Numbers matching no paperwork Taiwan/China everything (restored)Charger R/T's for 50,000 to 120,000."

"The people that made a huge mistake when purchasing some POS off line without inspecting a car in person. Must have been burned pretty bad (imo frankly extremely likely) or just a keyboard troll who doesn't have a clue. When the time comes to sell the car your more then welcome to come out and decide for yourself. But make sure you bring cash cause I don't take checks."

I personally have not noticed any non matching cars going for 50-120k, but I may not pay enough attention. I will take 50 for my non matching R/T if anyone is interested.

You ask for what it is worth, but show a copy of an appraisal (all be it a 15 year old one I presume) in one of the posts, and "I was barely able to buy the 68. Lets just say the wife wasn't to happy when I told her we had to refinance the house."   It really sounds like you should have a pretty good idea of what it is worth.   

"When this car does go up for sale it will be sold to someone who will appreciate and cherish it or I'm going to be the one who will profit it from it"  I'm not even sure what to say.  If someone tells you they will cherish it, you will sell it to them for cheap?  That is super cool, but not the vibe I am getting from all of this.  If that is the case though, I'd say $32k for a cherisher.

I'm not calling you or anyone else a liar. You asked how much it's worth as 14,000 mile car. Now if was coming round with cash in my pocket (I'm not by the way as I have my car now and you are an ocean away...!) you saying it's a 14000 m car would not be enough for me to pay the extra that such a low miles car would undoubtedly be worth. Before handing over the cash I would want evidence that the miles are real beyond reasonable doubt. Something that I have not seen in this thread yet....in fact the engine pic goes against that claim in my eyes...but as had been said the pics are so poor you cant really tell a lot....but I will say this...my 150,000 mile plus motor (could be much more as I also have no evidence....it's not going back in so I don't care...no matching No.s etc) looked loads cleaner and more original than that and had been in place since the mid seventies and driven at least 100 k. So to answer your original posted question about value would almost totally depend on being able to prove the miles.

I understand your position but I cannot just accept something just because you said it. Too many people have been burnt in this hobby, and countless other aspects of life, because they want to believe what they hear. That doesn't mean that what you say isn't true, it may very well be. But how would we know? We don't know you, you could be selling us some bs story for all we know! You can't blame people for being skeptical.

We have seen so many unicorns that were all fake so accepting one is unlikely to happen without evidence. It would certainly help to see more, and better, pictures. If only to give you a hypothetical wiw if this truly is such a low mileage car. I can give you the benefit of the doubt and believe what you say because I won't be in the market for it, but I hope you can show a prospective buyer a whole lot more. When this much cash is involved, your word alone will simply not suffice.

Know that it will be next to impossible to ensure that this car is going to the home you want. That's just not something you can control. I cringe thinking my car may one day end up painted orange but it will be out of my hands.

I hope the car is the real deal, that it will find a good home, and that it will bring what it is worth.   :2thumbs:

Hello everyone. I don't know if this is the correct place to ask but I was looking to find out what a car might be worth.  The car is a 1968 Charger R/T with 14,000 miles on it. The car is QQ1 blue with a black vinyl top and black interior. Stripe Delete.It's a pretty basic R/T. It is a 440 automatic console shift car.Non air. The car has all the important paperwork. Window sticker, fender tag,bill of sale broadcast sheet,warranty book with warranty swipe card plus a bunch of other receipts. Car is numbers matching but had the typical early performance upgrades like headers,alum intake and valve covers,holley carb ect. Most of the original parts are with the car like intake,carb,exhaust manifolds,valve covers. The body is in original paint with no rust. The car has been stored it's whole life indoors. The body would need to have a fender and the hood repainted otherwise the body is beautiful. The interior is also in excellent condition. The car was last driven on the road around 2001 and that was only a few miles.

The car is a car that I have owned for about 15 years and haven't really done anything to it. I have restored many Mopars over the years but not one of this caliper.

In the last couple of months a have had a couple of different guys show up at my house asking about this car and if it was for sale. I've never really thought about selling the car so I never really gave them a price.

Recently I have been trying to finish up another long term project and it's getting to the point where time and desire are taking there toll.

I have seen a lot of rusty junk charger R/T's (no engines) selling for 15,000 to 20,000. I've seen what people call survivor cars with 318's and 383's that run and haven't really had anything done to them but still need quarters,trunks and everything else sell for 20,000 to 35,000. Then you have the Non Numbers matching no paperwork Taiwan/China everything (restored)Charger R/T's for 50,000 to 120,000.

So what would be an original 14,000 mile car like this be worth. Thanks for any help.





           


I have 2 questions. Does the car Run & drive good? What do you think it is worth? LEON.
