$200,000 for a base '68 Charger?

[Drache]

Man do I feel old. I remember back when a '69 Daytona was $250,000.... 

This is a complete nut and bolt restoration. Every bit and bolt was address. Has a 440 with dyno sheet. Made 520 hp and 568 torque too much to list. Many receipts for the work

$200,000 CDN = $145,423 USD

XP car with a 440 but still has XP running gear/suspension......? Nice car though! Us base Charger guys can dream I suppose

Lovely car, but...

The listing shows the car is about 45 minutes away from me if anyone needs someone to go have a look 
I have never seen the car before

When I first saw it posted I thought dreamer and does not want to sell it very bad

[hemi-hampton]

worth $45k US maybe

He could ask for a million.  It doesn't matter unless somebody actually pays it.

[JB400]

It's a black 68 with a 440. That automatically makes it worth triple its value.

Nothing wrong with asking for your restoration costs back.

Nice car but for a "complete nut & bolt restoration", sure has some obvious issues. Missing console button, looks like a dash switch missing, old, damaged carpet pulled away from kick panel, missing ash tray.

[hemi-hampton]

I don't think anybody gets their Restoration cost back. unless it's been Earl Scheibed but that's not a Resto?

[Mike DC]

People should not expect to recoup their resto costs as a rule.  There's no harm in trying, but it's normally not a realistic goal.  Not unless the car has big collectible value like a rare VIN or a famous racecar.
   

Resto work is hand-building a car from scratch (in fact it's usually even harder).  If that was profitable then the OEMs would not be using assembly lines and making cars in batches of 100,000.

That's a "my wife told me I have to sell this car" price.  "Gee honey, I tried!"

[marshallfry01]

Asking price and selling price are two different numbers.
