I saw that R/T SE on fb.... looks to be the real deal and highly collectable  :2thumbs:

Condition.... condition.... condition....

IMO though....
an easy $50K and quickly headed up from there depending on Numbers Matching/B-Sheet... rust/prior bodywork.... LOTSA factors

I am not a fb person but if it was on there was it listed as for sale ??

I didn't see any "For Sale" ad per se.... just a post of the Fender Tag and a grainy Pic of the Car under a bunch of Boxes in a garage with a caption I think said "I just inherited this... any idea what it's worth" ?

Basically, I think he/owner was fishing ?

People that had not seen the car's condition at all was telling him it was worth $50,000 to $70,000 as it sat! Well, if you want to have $150,000 in the car you can pay that. I spent 3 hours putting tires on it, rolling it outside for the first time in 41 years and crawling all through the car from bumper to bumper! I got a call back this morning and should be picking the car up Friday if all goes well since he has thought it through.

congrats mate, in my mind, I think the fact you went as far as you did, Tires, pulling it out and going over it with the owner for free, and to respectfully leave without it, showed him that you were the right one for the job.

Sorry to keep everyone in suspense. Here is the message I received Thursday night "I have to put things on hold for right now, my mom took a down this week and one of my grandchildren ended up in the er. thank you" So, with this I have not gotten any other replies when trying to contact him.

I lost out on one '66 Charger when I was younger. It was out of town and the seller agreed to sell it to me. While trying to coordinate with a friend on the use of his trailer that he owed me for another favor, the seller told me their family talked them out of selling. It then showed up for sale online for multiple times over what we had agreed on.

You learn that when you have a hook on something, go get it right away. Last I saw a decade later that car was still in the same condition, apart and not running.
