I wouldn't be surprised if he gets it. But I'd be wanting to see that fender tag and some body numbers before bidding.

i think that was on ebay last year or the year before ,     looks to be the same location.    wouldn't  mind that one to restore

Nice of them to include recent pics.  I guess the snow in Minnesota is a little late in melting this year.

Would you give all or some of those cars in your signature picture?

I am sure you could round up $40K selling some of those.

You say you'd give anything to have a Hemi car - there you go!

ok let me rephrase.. anyone want to buy a 15 month old little girl??? only negative is she kinda
looks like me....       .. in the pic of her you can clearly see she is giving me the look like.. "daddy if you sell any of your good cars i will make you regret it" .. can't argue with her..... she's the new boss

You are correct.  It was for sale on ebay last year and the starting bid was $50,000.  so it looks like they are knocking off $10,000 to move it.

Even though there is not much there and prices are stalling or falling, nothing would surprise me. This hobby is so insane a clone can go for more than an original, irregardless of eithers condition. A steering wheel can fetch more than the car it came from - on and on. And even though its listed $10 K less - if the right person spots it for the first time.........

i wouldnt mind that car either... Trav I'm sure your daughter wouldnt mind you selling 8 to buy one that once restored will pay her way through any college in the US. I'll take one off your hands...

Maybe I am wrong,  but didn't the hemi cars get the Dana 40 rear axle and not the 8 3/4?  If that is the case, I can't see how he can say his car was a hemi car and still retain the 8 3/4 axle.  Please advise me if I am wrong.

You beat me too it Brian! I was going to ask the same thing. I thought they (HEMI) only came with the 9 3/4 rear Dana 60. Waz zup wit dat??

DANA  is standard equipment for a  4 speed  hemi   
  8 3/4  standard  on a  auto  hemi  & the dana is an option .
   the guy said it was converted to a four speed at some time , so that explanes the 8 3/4

Not only was the 8-3/4 standard with the 426/727, but the SureGrip was even an extra cost option   

IIRC, the axle and transmission combos were the same for the 440 and the Hemi.

if the fender tag and vin# on the dash match the rest of he car, i seems like a pretty good deal to me. heck look at hemi charger prices and tell me you couldn't make a hell of a profit with a forty thousand resto on it.

[bullit68]

you're not going to restore that charger for 40k.although it seems solid,it's missing a lot.but i do think its worth it in todays market.my how things have changed in the last couple of years.2 yrs and 4 months ago,there was a 69 charger rt 426 hemi 4 spd car(body only)on the old charger site for sale.he was asking 12-14k for it.i remember the banter well,it went like"this guy is crazy...theres no way its worth that....its only worth 5-6k  etc...etc...etc.i responded by saying its worth what he gets for it.if you dont step up to the plate at some time,you'll never have a real hemi charger.well i'm glad i did,its sitting in my yard right now,price...14k.
