The vin is XP29G. I'm not sure if it still has the original 383, but it does have a 383 that has been "rebuilt" not sure about that though. What do you think its worth? The passenger side rear quarter is a little mangled.

$2000.00. $2500.00 tops if it runs, w/a carb and no rust anywhere else, but that wishfull thinking also.

1970 Charger 500

I paid $8,600 for my 500 4 years ago, and that was a good deal.  Matching #'s 383.
It was in a little better shape than that one.
I was able to, however, drive mine to Seattle from Portland.
Here are pics of mine when I bought it.....

The guys is asking 12,500. I'm glad you guys thought it was way overpriced. I was worried.

ryan053

thats way to high.  Is it a stick or auto?

has nobody els noticed that the vin is XP29G?  Isn't "G" a 318 in 70?  Also.  12500$ for that is a rip off.  Even if it was a N code 383HP car.

$12,500!   :o

I want some of what he's smoking.

Also,  "the engine was rebuilt" I would say Definitely WAS rebuilt.  I like how they put the grease coating back on to make it look like a rat rod. Maybe it helps insulate it so it runs better. Stays hot you know. I think the whole car is fresh of the rotisserie.  Thats how the seller wanted it to look.  Hell, The more I think about it.  $12500 is a bargen for a genuine sleeper. Probably has brand new used bushings in the front end too.  But hey.  It was "rebuilt" Drained the oil out of his tractor and filled up the diff. Then he can say he Rebuilt the diff too. Trans was rebuilt when new in 75. Pulled it out of the new yorker last week and threw in. "NEW TRANS". Sorry,  Just decided to make fun.      It wont happen again.....   Today.

I would say $4-5K if it runs and turns out to be mechanically ok.

i may sound high here, bujt that upper body and lower rear valance and corners etc look pretty damn good. if that car runs and drives and only needs quarters, not a trunk floor or floors, i think $7500 is right there for it

DID YOU STAND ON THE ROOF OF THE BLACK SEDAN TO GET THE "BIRDS EYE VIEW"  PHOTO OF THE CHARGER ?

Harlow

These we're emailed to me. I called about a local craigslist ad. I was thinking the same thing when I got them.

Argos_Chargers

I wonder how long the carb has been off and how much damage was done.  Also, is there any metal under all of that putty?  Does it have an interior? That's gonna be some work!  I wonder if it still has the 2 core 318 radiator?

The guy across the street from me just sold shell of a 70, 500  And I mean a shell  sheet metal only not even a roller it was on a jig 318 car no fender tag. Went for 3050.00 on ebay the gut paid a extra 900.00 for the jig and paid him to deliver it 400 miles. So judging from that 5500.00.

What does the back license plate say  :popcrn:

I think he needs to drop the 1 in front of the price.

Did you sell your Sattelite?

It says

still ain't enough


as for the price, check the numbers first but if it's matching which i'm guessing it might not be, i'm leaning towards what travis said....$5 to $7 if everything else we can't see is in good shape.

That car looks like a POS.  Don't be desperate.  Buy a '66 Tempest  :D

  A rebuilt 383 with nuts & bolts and a rats nest down the hole where the carb used to be?...I dunno, $12,000 for a project "G" car with the girlyman rear axle?  I'd pass.

I think it depends entirely on what condition the body is as far as rust is concerned AND how much of the restoration work you are going to do yourself.  Parts are expensive.  Labor is very expensive.  I bought a 318 69 with virtually no rust and I've probably spent $7 or $8 thousand on parts already.  Admittedly, I am changing the entire drivetrain from a 318/904/8-1/4 to a 440/4SP/8-3/4.  But even if I wasn't, I would have to have rebuilt the 318, rebuilt the trans, completely rebuilt the suspension, exhaust, and braking systems, completely replace the interior as well as the vinyl top, buy new tires, rechrome the fenders, redo the instrument panel.  You begin to get the idea.  It costs lots of money to rebuild these cars.  You want to start with the best one you can find and it is definiteyly worth it to pay three times as much for one that has a good body and doesn't need an entire new drivetrain.  Now, if you have been into this for a long time and have a garage full of parts you have been able to scarf up along the way, might be a slightly different story.  Or if you are going to just flip it, there again, probably different story. 

I think that car is worth maybe $2-$4k as it sits.  Will someone pay more.  Depends on how much of an eager beaver they are.  If it is the answer to someones lifelong dream, they will definitely pay more.  Then they will find out the hard way how expensive this hobby really is.
My two cents worth.

Yeah but that body looked pretty solid.
