The 68 383 4bbl 4spd AC car from Bruce Cliche's yard in VT is back on Ebay.  Wow is it bad..  These pics show angles I don't recall seeing in the past.

Looks like some pressure washing/cleaning has pulled more paint off but it's the same car, check out the Dodge decal on the back window.

Looks like the guy that bought it from Milford NH a while back took it to NY for a few years to realize he bought a mess.

[edit]
Huh, the old ebay link says it sold for 5k!

That is a lot for essentially a VIN # and hopefully matching #s.   A couple thousand (maybe more) hours to rebuild and $$$s for parts = big bucks

 Sad sight when you see chargers like this ,  bet that looked awesome when new ,  cant see anyone buying it & paying to get it restored !  only way I can see it happening & only way it would be worth while is if you can do all the work your self & get the car for free or next to nothing  :Twocents:
shame rare charger  :icon_smile_blackeye:

In the 2006 Jalopnik article it still looks pretty good.

Though I don't know for certain that the photo is the same vintage.  Shows how fast these things take a turn for the worst.

hemi-Hampton is saying that he thinks 5 hundred is too much. It sold before for 5 thousand.

 The listing has ended. 9 bids, final price $9,000.  Wow!   :o

One thing did surprise me. The car in such bad condition, but the steering wheel did not have the usual split / crack at the 12:00 position.  :shruggy:

:cheers:


VegasCharger

There's plenty of usable parts there to supersede $500.00.  :shruggy:

Steering Wheel
Hood
Rear End
Grille
Front Bumper
Rear Bumper
Glass
Radiator (for the #'s)
383 core
Power Steering Pump
Steering Column
Dash Frame
Dash components
Rear Seat cores
Driver's Bucket Seat core/tracks
Rear Windshield trim (lower corners alone bring big $$)
Front Windshield trim
Tail Panel trim
Seat Belt cores
A/C Heater box core

9K no way.

$500.00 sign my up.

Oh well, can't sign up because it SOLD for $9000.00!!
Go figure lol.

:cheers:

Wow didn't even notice that, good catch Chris!

68's are in the tail light assemblies, 69's in the rear valance.

I've seen allot of junk sell for under 10k that will cost double and sometimes triple to fix if they would of just spent more on a better car...I had a really solid 69 on Craigslist for 20 that needed no panel replacement and complete car and I was getting bashed, but then I see dummies bid on junk like this that's going cost way more to fix...

You're '69 on CL is definitely worth your asking price. :cheers:

If it's already sold for $5,400 & then $9,000 how can it be for sale again :shruggy: unless shill bidding is going on. :scratchchin: :shruggy: :slap: :Twocents: :pigsfly:

moparfan53

 Well... the $5,400 sale was back in 2015. Good question on the recent $9,000 sale though. Only two things I can see. Shill bidding as already mentioned, or the buyer backed out, as often happens.

Interesting to watch.

:cheers:

hemi-hampton

Maybe the $9k buyer looked at it in Person & then backed out. :shruggy:


Alaskan_TA

No need to see it in person.

Junk is junk.

The photos prove it.

The buyers make the market, not the fake bidders lol. If he wants to sell that turd he needs to let it go for what people are willing to pay.
