Swiss Charger Anyone?

SWISS  

CHEESE <<< Link

Why do you suppse bidding is so HIGH?

[RallyeMike]

Saw that one too. I continue to be amazed at what people are paying for these piles. You are much better off buying a completed car unless you plan on doing all the work yourself and enjoy the suffering (me!).

I'm thinking Road Runner/GTX will be the next body to become over-priced, but I've never been able to predict this stuff.

because whoever wants it is a glutton for punishment.

i don't undertsand it either. that car is a PILE!!  just look at the front end pic. no the torsion bars were not lowered, it does not have air bags, it's JUNK. i only got 2025 for a MUCH more solid body on ebay 2 weeks ago. frame perfect.. of course i didn't sell it for that.. makes you wonder sometimes about eby. doesn't make sense

[Ghoste]

People aren't too bright sometimes are they?  It does make me feel better about the condition of my car. 

[JimShine]

I am always complaining there are no more "parts cars". They have all become "project cars". This is a perfect example.

[Charger Aficionado]

  You are right Travis, you know what it is that attracts people to that car;  THE STANCE.  whew... 

[Ghoste]

I'm not sure if project even describes that undertaking accurately.  I don't know what to call it.

At least the guy seems to be honest by showing the cars problem areas

 May be it is because I have done it, but frame rail's don't scare me any more. When you get right down to it, not that hard of a repair. Rather do rails than do quaters. Plus you can buy all the parts now and no rust.

Charger is all most all there, that is a plus as well. Plus they know what they are getting into as well.


Airborn woulld wish thay is what he got that from HLPAG.

Admittedly you had a "project" too Ken.  I have seen the pictures, but you are a body man as well, are you not?  Most of us have to pay someone like you to fix that for us.  It makes me cringe when I see that car.

[Nupe]

The only good thing going for it is it looks like original paint so at least it isn't hiding much.     

Looks like a twin to a 68 that I went to look at a couple years ago for $2,500 except the Ebag one has more intact framerails.     Lady on the phone said it was solid.   Looked decent from 50 feet because someone painted it a flat red.   Looked underneath and said "solid, huh?"  

[Wakko]

I don't think 2000 is far out of line.  There are lots of usable parts on that car (including a running engine) so if you found a solid shell you could swap the stuff over.  And like Ken mentioned, frame rails aren't that scary anymore.  Personally I couldn't do anything with that car since I'd have to pay someone, but if you have welding skills and time, you could do it up.  Or simply backhalve it.

Don'cha just LOVE that?

I know what to call it .... piece of $hit, lol 

[BrianShaughnessy]

I don't know why it's worth getting all bothered about.   They're showing you pix of the rot.  Nobody is hiding much of anything.   It's a project and so far it's fairly cheap.   

Can't deal with the frame rail rot?  Don't buy it.   Don't have the talent to fix it?  Get out the checkbook.   I'm sure someplace like auto rust specialists would fix that sucker up pretty quick for a price.

The cool thing is that now you can go get frame rails and such.   Couldn't really do that 15 years ago.

[cudaken]

 Yes I was trained as a bodyman, but the frame rail's are not really bodywork to me. More like putting together a model but the parts are bigger.

Like I said, not brain sugary, just takes some time.

                                   Cuda Ken, rather being playing with rust than F--Ked Up $7000.00 440.

[NHCharger]

I like the see through floor option. You have to wonder how much would be left if you dipped the car to remove the rust.
In one pic is that a block of wood holding up the floor or holding the frame off the ground???

Coming soon to the HLPAG showroom.....

[Ghoste]

I'm not too bothered by it because I won't be buying it and I do appreciate the fact that they aren't hiding it.  I'm just chiming in that it's far far more project than I would ever want to tackle.  If it were "THE" special car that spoke to me like Christine, maybe then.

[Wakko]

Whoa, it ended at 4250...now THAT'S too high, IMO.
