What's a 69 Charger 500 clone worth? Updated with pics !

[A34]

I passed on it, electing to finish my 2 real R/T's first. My friend sold it to a guy in Florida for $15K. Supposedly the guy has a set of real 500 numbers he is going to put on it.

So, if you're in the market in the next year or so, do your homework before making that big $$$$$ purchase. The guy could be just blowing smoke.

Sounds like a good choice. You mean the guy is gonna make a clone then put real numbers on it.

Well, that's what he told my friend. Who knows? It is a good car, but the timing wasn't right for me. Although, if it had been Red or Black, or another color I like, it would probably be in the garage right now.

Any idea's on what number's he plans to attach to the car? I know of a few that are laying around places that will probably eventually wind up on cars.

I think the guy is based in Florida and has a set of numbers off a Hemi car, but I could be wrong. I believe he runs a resto/hot rod type shop. I'll ask my friend and see what he knows.

 I know kyle drake had a hemi 500 that burnt in the early 90's and ron slobe bought it for the title and numbers. Who knows where they went  when ron died or before    And where are they now  ?

Was the HEMI that Kyle Drake had, a 4 speed B5 blue car? Just curious?

  i dont remember but if you want i can give you kyles email address 

  he never had it moving was motor less when he bought it

Spoke to my friend and the guy that's buying the car told him he has the numbers from a 440 4spd car that was crushed back in the 80's or 90's up north. Whoever had it at the time, pulled all the 500 specific stuff, and numbers including core support, fender tag, vin, broadcast sheet, etc. He said it was a plain jane vanilla color, but couldn't remember what exactly.

So, that be the deal. I have mixed feelings about it. Glad I've owned mine for 20+ years. I just wish I could get my butt in gear and finish them !!!!! 

Say a prayer for me guys, and I'll do the same you that we all finish our cars with Godspeed !

I'm not sure what would be a plain jane vanilla color on a 440 4 speed car. But if its a 4 speed car that makes it easier, as I only have information on 2 440 4 speed cars that went the way of junkyards years ago.

   go for it ,  no one else has one

Well, I have one I'm working on. Almost the same story-1970 Charger 500, originally 383/auto, no drive train now. We just had a baby, so that project is on hold for a while. I have most of the parts for the conversion, and it needs quarters, so I'll just install '69 panels to make it right. I have a clutch pedal assembly and Hemi 4-speed I plan on adding too. I do have the '70 hood and fenders, and have thought about doing a Daytona clone, but I don't think it's in the budget...

what did you use for a plug ?

[richRTSE]

The window plug is a fiberglass piece from Janak. I picked it up about 5 years ago from a guy that bought a Daytona conversion kit and didn't need the plug. Right now its just sitting in the hole. Hopefully I'll be able to get the ball rolling this winter...
