thinking of getting a 73 charger

[68 CHARGER R/T]

i found a  73 charger for sale in my neighbourhood and was wondering what would this one be worth . it still carries it's original paint .it all original it has the original  bench seat 318 car with power buldge hood frame rails look good and the body is still in fair shape .the owner wasn't home but i need some advice on what to offer the guy for it.

Looks like a real Rallye.  It really depends on if it is driveable or not.  I'd say no more that $4k if it is road worthy.  I'm sure some others will chime in here.

[41husk]

I didn't see a for sale sign, is the car for sale or are you just trying to get the owner to sell?

[68 CHARGER R/T]

the only thing i see replaced are the rear shocks don't know how the floors are

It looks like the car might be undercoated, and if it is then the floors should be in good shape.

i talked to the owners son in the spring time and he said that his dad is willing to sell it.

  somebody said around there was no 318 rallyes ( j/k ) ( could it be cloned too of course )

something weird about sway bar.. is straight and as far I know should it be bended on center.

WIW.. preffer just

[68 CHARGER R/T]

well i'm gonna try and get a vin number of it tomorow and see if i can get any more pictures as well

[twilt]

WIW.. preffer just

C`mon Nacho,   don`t be shy. Tell the man you think its worth 10K

[supserdave]

I love that stripe. Theres a cream colored 340 rallye up in my neck of the woods with the same stripe.

Looks like a nice car, good luck.

[Nacho-RT74]

WIW.. preffer just

C`mon Nacho,   don`t be shy. Tell the man you think its worth 10K

No, I was to say $8K, and thats because is bench. missed carpet and no more info about equipment, or if is hardtop o coupe

[Charger1973]

I like the car.   

[konigcharger]

saying hypothetically it is a real rallye, runs and drives good... 8-10k

offer him 5k and see what he says

[Fitz73Chrgr]

You guys are nuts!!!  Its a 318 column shift auto with a bench seat!  Oh, and its just a 73!  Don't get me wrong I love 3rd gens, I have a 73 myself.  But you guys are trying raise 3rd gen prices to that of 2nd gens (which are also overpriced).  If you pay 5k for that car, you're paying too much.

VIN won't tell you if it's a Rallye.  Fender tag won't either on a Lynch Rd. car.  It looks like a nice, solid car. I'd say $5000 range would be fair... it is a 318 bench car.  Feel the owner out and go from there.

Nacho... I've been looking at the sway bars on every '73 I come across and I've been seeing both straight and bent varieties regardless of differential.

[hemihead]

If it's a Rallye car, I would say 8K being it's in nice shape but only a 318 Column Auto/ Bench. I would guess it's a Hardtop because of the woodgrain inserts on the door panel. The Coupes had a insert that looked like fabric. 

[konigcharger]

seems to be no real correlation between the two

The Rallye package (A57) was available on either Coupes (WL21) or Hardtops (WH23).  The only way to tell if a car is a true Rallye is to see A57 on the build sheet or fender tag (It won't appear on Lynch Rd cars - 7th digit "A").  If it's a 340 car, then it's a Rallye by default since the 340 was only available with the Rallye package.  Clear as mud, eh? 

[RallyeMike]

Neato. Rear sway bar, power bulge hood with NO hood call outs. Looks like an original 318 Rallye to me. Would make a nice cruiser. Act dumb and start low @ $1500.

EVEN YOU LOL...

About coupe or hardtop. Checking the door panels it could be a hardtop, but bench with cloth insert and without center arm rest makes me doubt... couldn't you get some uipgrade on trim with an extra payment quote even you get a lower option car ?

Maybe canopy roof was part of coupe trim too ?

Nacho... I've been looking at the sway bars on every '73 I come across and I've been seeing both straight and bent varieties regardless of differential.

When I saw the pic of course you came in  my mind inmediatly. Yes could it be but Manual parts doesn't state difference on bar in relation with axle and you are able to check it. The fact is the plates are isolated anyway.

[Nacho-RT74]

hehe, well that why I was asking LOL

[41husk]

Rallye was a trim package after 72 you could get it with a 318 and buckets and 440 only available in rallye and SE, 340 rallye only,  Rallye included rear sway bar and power bulge hood rallye stripe package as well.  I would not give more than 8k for it if that, but with todays prices it would not surprise me for this guy to get 10k or more

[69charger2002]

i wouldn't offer more than 4k for that car. rallye isn't nearly as cool on a 73 as it was in 72.. they made well over 100000 73 chargers, granted most were SE's, but they are not rare. and at the least the car will need minor body work/paint. that's $5k.. do you really want to spend $10k plus $5k for paint etc on a 73 318 car? i know i wouldn't
trav

[RallyeMike]

Hmmmm. Well then, what's a clean, 74 440 Rallye worth? Only 213 made. Must be at least double. I'm accepting offers.....

[Fitz73Chrgr]

Nacho would probably give you 30-40k for it. 


Just messin' with ya Nacho

yeah, More less... ( I take the joke LOL )

These is what I think is more less a fair prices and is more close to reallity than NADAGUIDES LOL... little bit less little bit more:
( quoting from the last WIW thread )

ok I'll try to post the GREAT CONDITIONS WIW cars I think are ACTUALLY fair on a 73/74... maybe just needing some TLC in some cases.
Everything depending of equipment of course
SB SE: 12-14K
BB SE: 13-15K
Hardtop SB ( Rallye ): 14-16K
Hardtop BB ( Rallye ): 16-18K

72s... about 25% more.
71s are another story.

I mean on TODAYS standarts... don't keep in the past with OOOOOOOOLD prices... you need to refresh guys, you are stuck on 2 years ago.

Remember that a 2nd gen Nice restored or conditions was around $20-25K two years ago and now are around $35-40K so why not 3rd gens are getting close to $20K?... I'm not that insane.

And Mustangs/Camaros MUST HAVE ALLWAYS below Chargers prices ANY GEN ( similar year and drivetrain side by side ) so if you see Mustangs/Camaros prices now... I'm not the only one "insane", is the market what is insane.

and we are not talking about E bodies no matter the year... THAT IS INSANE.

[Nacho-RT74]

another thing came in my mind:

also if you think how hard is get a nice restored 3rd gen beside earliers, even I'm not pretty sure about 1st gen, you think your restore job worths. And an untouched one without need on sheet metal WORTHS.

If you don't think a restore job without enough parts ( including quality ) is worthly, then doesn't worth to restore no matter if is just for personal satisfaction. If you need to sell for an emergency ( God save us ) you expect to get at least you job and care back in money.

Chebbys and Phords owners have it easy.

I am not saying i would even give 8k for it, but if the right guy comes along it will move.

[68 CHARGER R/T]

just came back from the house still no answer at the door . neighbours told me their probably at the cottage. i'm not giving up

I was speaking of the insert on the door panel not the seat. The Hardtops had a woodgrain insert on the door panel, the WL21 Coupes had an insert that looked like fabric, no woodgrain.

[Charger1973]

Yeah its a hardtop not a coupe, im 99% sure. 

[Nacho-RT74]

yes but I was asking about because I didn't know if you were able to get an upper lever trim on some stuff even keeping the same VIN. I don't live up there and never have been in USA so I don't know about limits on choose trims. Trims lever are very limited down here.

[JR]

I have no idea what its worth, but I bet it was a beautiful car in its day. With that white paint, laser stripes, vinly roof and mag wheels. I'd restore it just like it is now. Have some fun with it if you get it.

[Chargerguy74]

Correct 73 318 Rallye hood, and if it is coded V6R then I'd say around 5, possibly 6K.....but I wouldn't give more than 4 personally. Rear sway bar looks correct.

[Fitz73Chrgr]

So did you talk to the owner yet?

[BMOTOXSTAR]

 

[68 CHARGER R/T]

sorry for the late response guys. the owner told me he would think about it for a while.no price has been given yet
