68 at mecum crazy money

Wow, the interior presentation lets that car down hard.   

In all fairness the listing says "original interior" which it certainly is. Seems like a shortcut to me but hey, maybe that's why the buyer wanted it?

P.S. I only disagree with you on one thing though, everybody knows a 70 is Best

             

Whats this 66-74 all about.  I thought they only made 1970 Chargers?

what the other guys say  
like i mentioned i dont like pulling appart someones charger , there is lots of things wrong more than i've mentioned ,  the most important  things to me that stand out  , not done correctally , painted wrong color ,finish, missing , there is a nice coat of clear , but as for the base coat looks like panels painted off the car & or by differnent  painter , different paint mix , put the base coat on drier on the quarters  or all , shame looks awesome in that color , the seat covers are not the best install , & looks like repop bumpers fit they  crap , says it was restored 2016 i doubt it , the body & paint may well of been completed then. when you see simple things obviously wrong or missing  like a 2 dust caps & headlamp vacuum lines not connected .... whats the quality of the more important stuff .... 170k  for this   
still good luck to the owner & seller

yeah i still cant figure it out how the bidding went that high , maybe the car has a sentimental attachment  to the buyer !   originally belonged to a family member or .. ....

$170K for that '68
and then
$165K for that '69

I don't get it....
Who, and what demographic circumstance beyond 'too much money' is buying these Chargers for those amounts ?

Anybody know if it's just 2nd Gen Charger's ? or has everything else been selling 'up there' as well ?

You noticed all that but you completely missed the exhaust clamp with no nuts on it.

Yeah, That's funny, the Exhaust will be falling off soon. along with many other things.

The different paint flop from doors to quarters seems pretty common on these, Mine used to be the same.

(I think from having the doors/fenders laying flat rather than upright when painting)

But agreed the price is boggling. Seems they started out with good intentions then rushed to "finish" it.

I am really glad you don't like picking a car apart .

[JimShine]

I have that exact orange tape. It is a cheap paint masking tape. Note how one of the body plugs is wrapped in it. That tape is rather fresh. I bet there was a hasty paint tough up in that area very recently.

"Hey Earl, did you give that '68 a good final inspection?"

Earl, "Of course I did."....head falls back down to look at his phone, lol.

Zackly what I thought loling.  Good gravy, that rig was NOT done by a Mopar shop let alone an owner who knew Mopes.
Shit like this has me not feeling so stupid for using a David Wise book to make sure I'm using the correct bolts, orientation, etc.
