R4 Charger R/T found in junkyard...WIW?

[Magnumcharger]

My buddy Doug Lepak found this gem.
AM/FM 8 track, power windows, pretty good shape overall. And he's thinking of picking it up.
Any idea what it might be worth?

[Fitz73Chrgr]

I'd say up to $7k, but don't tell the junkyard that.  Thats one hell of a find in a junkyard!

[Beep Beep Dave]

That really is a incredible find for a junkyard now-a-days...looks pretty much complete and a great resto candidate. I agree with the previous poster has to be worth at least $7k.
You would almost have thought you would have sent those pics to Robin's Cars in Barns by now?

Depending on rear rust & eng. #'s, and if he knows current Charger prices, he may want $10-14k

[Chris G.]

'70 scoops huh? I like it already . Seriously, did that arrive at the yard yesterday? It looks pretty clean. It will surely sell for more than 7K IMO.

[mustanghater]

I bet its the owners car cause it looks like it was driven to that spot juding on how the wheel is turned But i cant see the other side.

My famous catchphrase "Can I use that pic for my site?"

[DodgeChargerNeeded]

I would plan on paying 10-15k for it. I'm sure they know what its worth.

[Shakey]

That car does look complete.  A very nice find.  Something doesn't seem right with it sitting there unmolested.   

[bull]

Dang. Looks like someone just backed it into that spot last week. I'd say $7k is pretty conservative from what I can see. I guess it depends on how much rust it has and how complete it is. If I had the funds and it was not a serious cancer victim I'd be willing to pay about $10k USD.

An R/T with power windows,but no console?First owner must have wanted the extra company up front.

[67_Dodge_Charger]

How did the frame rails look?  I wouldn't let that one go.  I would say it is worth up to $10k depending on the drive train.

motor looks wrong, to narrow to be a 440 and the manifolds look wrong to............
like a 383............offer him $1000 and decode it.... I'll bet you will be in for a non matching numbers night mare supprise

[ck1]

red intake and blue valve covers.........hmmmmmmmmm

[69DodgeCharger]

stolen, impound.....tow job unpaid for maybe. Doesn't look like a junkyard car to me? I'm guessing there is a "story" behind how that car ended up in the middle of a junkyard.

[Bandit72]

notice how the trans. cooler is mounted to the radiator

Nice find!  Lots o' good stuff up there in Canada eh?  Does it have a wood wheel so Doug can restore it?

10-12k all day long.

Another for the registry

[SRT-440]

Look in the trunk for a dead body before you buy it. 

[Dan T]

Wish I'd have found it. It would've saved me alot of money upfront. Not to mention the cross border hassle.
It's even R4.
Nice find!!

[Charger_Fan]

I'm taking Magnumcharger's lack of replies to this thread as...he & his buddy are dragging that baby home right now!!

Dave

Well I guess you can grab those shots Dave!!
But as it wasn't MY find, I can't get the credit for this one!
......and I knew you were here anyways!!

[Magnumcharger]

My famous catchphrase "Can I use that pic for my site?"

Here's a famous answer.....no.

[Magnumcharger]

I'm taking Magnumcharger's lack of replies to this thread as...he & his buddy are dragging that baby home right now!!

Well to be honest, I was asked what I thought it might be worth, and I said 15K Cdn. So maybe I was a bit high, who knows?
R4 is what amounted to a 1969 equivalent to a high impact color, and being called "Charger Red" makes it even sweeter!

I do know Doug has a silent partner that will be going in on a purchase offer for the beast, and neither of them are what you might call "Charger guys". E body guys, yes.

I would LOVE to get this car, but with a '68 Charger R/T to restore, and of course that Deora clone to finish, I'm up to my armpits in projects already.

But: if they grab it.....I'll let ya'll know!!

[Charger_Fan]

Well, I hope they do end up getting it. Even if they aren't Charger guys & end up flipping it for E-body stuff, it's better than letting it stay in a boneyard.

[dkn1997]

is it me, or does that look like a 22" rad in a 26" core?  still looks way too good to be in a junkyard, has no real patina on it. 

[69bronzeT5]

I forgot.....Can I please use that pic for my site

[70charger_boy]

I forgot.....Can I please use that pic for my site

he said NO!!!!!!

[UFO]

As for the rad.I`m sure thats a 22 in a 22 opening.If there is no a/c or perf axle pgke,you would get the smaller rad.

[hemi68charger]

Man, that's a hell of a find........

I hope it gets saved and restored by someone..........

I'd say only $1,500 US.  That's what I paid for my 69 R/T SE 4 years ago after pulling it from a garage after 20 years. 

Or am I out of touch with reality?

Definately sounds like a sweet car, the R/T badge on the side looks a little odd though.  Good luck.

hey ryan, I'll tell ya what. I'll give you 800 bucks for your rt/se...depreciation and all

[70 Charger RT]

Magnumcharger.  Nice Charger.  Did you see the ones out at Lawrence Pantician's place (past Gibbons)?  There's a 68 Scat pack charger RT out there that he just picked up from SK.  Vic (his dad) said it will probably go for $25k CAD.  He's also got a 70 XP rust bucket that he just sold to someone.  I seen them both last weekend (May 5, 07) while I was searching for spare parts for my 69 project.

Um... let me think about it for a little bit, but since I'm mentally unstable, might be a while.

Lorne and Vic at Aero-tique.
Been to their place many times. They definately go far and wide to pick up cars for their "collection". At one time, they had a whole line of '68-70 Chargers, and they all were basically intact. Then they started cutting rad supports and tail light panels out of them, and in the process, destroying the quarter panels, trunk floors, frame rails and front inner fenders.
I could never understand the rationale of junking a several-thousand dollar body for a three-hundred dollar part.
They cleaned out a junkyard up here in Cold Lake, and basically stole the two complete '69 Roadrunners I had been eyeballing. Now they are well on their way to being cut up.
I suppose I wouldn't have a problem with the whole situation, if they sold complete cars, instead of whacking them. Or maybe just cut up the wrecks.
Still, it is a facinating place to visit.
