What is your thoughts on today’s market value of this 1968 R/T?

[kevink]

Looking at this 1968 Charger R/T automatic with console. It is not the original engine. The engine is stamp coded 66. The car overall is extremely nice. Just want to get your opinion of what you think it is worth in 2021?

It looks like a cousin to the one in your avatar.   

[70 sublime]

Is it an Air Conditioning car with no motor stuff ?

[kevink]

It is an A/C car without the parts under the hood.

[70 sublime]

It has the funky battery cable ends

Do you think this car is any better or worse shape than the one you have now ?
One has black interior and one has white interior

You seem to just find the cars that are almost the same as what you have now
If they were both sitting in your garage side by side why would you drive car A vs car B on any given day other than one has more gas in the tank ?

Think I would want any second Charger to be different than my first Charger
Either get a better car with a stupid big motor in it or a ratty car fun to drive when you just do not care about the little scratches and wash and wax all the time

I think we have talked about this in the past?... or one very similar!!!

I am very partial to the SS1 on the 68 Charger. This car has just came available from a private collection. The SS1 are hard to find for me here in the South. Recently completing a nut/bolt restoration on one of these cars I have learned the hard way that it is cheaper to buy one finished or very close to being finished. I am also looking for a triple green 1968 Dodge Charger to add to the collection. As you have seen these driver quality cars are fetching ridiculous money.

50-55k ish.....glad you painted it the orig color!

[1968Fever]

If this is the same car, which I think it is, Mecum results say the car was worth $62,700 in July 2020

[kevink]

1968 Fever I think you are correct. That is why I ask you guys about these cars!

[kevink]

Car sold for $57,000 plus buyers premium. I just went back and watch it sell.

[70 sublime]

So you know what the guy paid for it

How much does he want for it now ?

$75 000 ?

[kevink]

70 Sublime, close. $72,500 but said he would consider any offer. Now I know why he can accept offers. LOL

[DownZero]

I could see it  fetching $62k.  Not unreasonable.

What seems to be contributing significantly to the inaccuracy of value estimates is the common reluctance of people to actually disclose what they either bought a car for or sold one for in a private party transaction.  I've never quite understood the secrecy of this, but without those valuable data points all we're really left with are asking prices and selling prices of commercial sales through companies who's sole business is to essentially flip these cars.  It surely seems the consequence of this is an artificially inflated value estimate.  I personally have no hesitancy in sharing what I buy or sell my vehicles for.  Perhaps I'm missing something.  What's seems to be the issue people have in revealing what they bought or sold a vehicle for?  Sincerely curious.

When Selling,
the "issue" in disclosing what you paid for a car ?  can invariably be that any potential Buyer feels that you should "pass along" your good fortune to them if that's the case ? thereby confusing the "wanted" or asking purchase price with a "But he ONLY Paid XXX" in the Buyer's mind ?

Look 2 posts back in this thread ?

No offense intended, I just don't believe what any Seller paid to be relevant, nor any of a potential Buyer's business.

[kevink]

Challenger340, I simple asked what everyone thought what the current market value is on the car. I don't care what he paid for it. I paid $25,000 for my 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 4 speed with all numbers matching and have turned down $90,000. Now, I have completed a nut/bolt restoration which cost me a small fortune. We are all in this together and need this values to stay solid if not to increase. The reason I asked here is the knowledge. Which paid off because someone remembers the car selling at Mecum. Where that is important to me is that I was told it was coming out of a private collection as if they were trying to lead me to believe the car owner has had it for a while. It looks now like it might be just a flip for him. Another question I have is why is he selling it. Did he find something wrong with it after buying it? The knowledge of this group is truly invaluable. I will pay market value for these 1968-1970 Chargers especially that beauty that you have. 😁 I love this hobby and have sunken a lot of money in it. I hope in another ten years our cars are worth twice as much as now. Again, I am not trying to beat him out or down on his price. Just do not want to pay thousands more than what the market is currently.

Beautiful car Challenger340, the wheels really stand out to me especially on a black 69.

Thank you.
In the Mopar magazines....the end pages of "Rare Finds" or whatever they are called. They glow over some great car someone found and bought but rarely ever disclose a price. That pisses me off and shows how selfish people can be. It makes it really difficult to establish any fair market value when another car turns up.
I have been annoyed by that bullshit for years. Same stuff happens on these forums. A guy comes on and brags on and on....posts a bunch of pictures, people compliment him on it but the prick refuses to tell what he paid for it.

[INTMD8]

Lmao, I would tell anyone what I paid for my cars but don't think someone's a prick if they want to keep their business to themselves. 

[AKcharger]

$60K +/- $5K is my expert opinion

[hemi-hampton]

$45k + or - $5k

[1968Fever]

Also, I remember the car for sale at MaxMotive in PA.  They wanted about $80K for it.

There are two kinds of owners that are selling their second gen Chargers

First guy is the guy that has a use for the cash in something else
Family or house or health or .....
Just wants the money and move on with life

Second guy
Just in it to make a buck or ten or thousand ......
Has a car collection buying and selling
Has to sell it for more than he paid for it

I think the owner of this Charger in question is guy #2

Does any one really want to buy from guy #2 or would rather find guy #1 before guy #2 finds him
