Ouch!  No reserve, so I guess it'll either go on eBay or it will mysteriously be "sold locally"...

[hemi68charger]

Troy, are thinking about this one?  it is a 4-speed ya know

25k would be about right  but you see the work and money it will take

i forgot that was you

[70charger_boy]

I just emailed the guy and asked if I can see it.  I want to see if it was the same guy that bought that bird, over the summer

and

I see a re-body in this car's future.

  If it hasn't been, already

[70charger_boy]

P.S.  What do you think is a good offer for this car?

[moparstuart]

 before the market turned worse ones where going for 50 k
so 25 k in this market would be a good deal i feel  you wont loose on it , there just are not that many out there   

[moparstuart]

  may have been sold  listing is gone

[bordin34]

Still there for me. How many birds are stashed up in that little state.

You will be surprised!!


The guy emailed me back.  So, I'll look at it on Wednesday or Thursday

[IowaCharger69]

Anyone email this guy and get a fender tag or vin number? Can he substantiate any of the claims he is making? The pictures are awful and his description is vague at best. Honestly this add says two things to me. 1.This is a clone car and he is a scammer, or 2.he doesn't have the smarts to advertise this car well and it could be a real steal for someone. Since it has already been bid up around 25K the "good deal" possibility seems slim. Not saying he's a scammer but I am going to wait till I hear from ChargerBoy.

[Slade_Stone50]

Those Auction pictures are terrible.  You wonder if it's EVEN worse then it appears.

[daytonalo]

I think it is the nicest car I've ever seen !!!!

[BigBlockSam]

25 k  the most.

                         RUST NEVER SLEEPS!

[pettybird]

It's worth well over $25,000.  Even at that rate, shipping the car to somewhere like Aloha Automotive lands you a mint six barrel car for...$125,000.  Sure, the cars are down, but not that far.  My guess is $56,000.  It's not much of a stretch to restore the car for another 50 grand in a generic, high quality body shop.


Be nice...it is real.   

[69_500]

Ah man, if I liked the Superbirds nearly as much as I do Daytona's or 500's that car would be in my garage  tomorrow night. Seriously if it was a Daytona, or a 500 in that condition for that price I'd be heading to that guys house tonight. I don't think $25K for that would be out of the question at all.

[wingfan]

It definitely should be restored since only about 975 (pick a number) Superbirds remain.  And there are lots more repro parts on the market nowadays so it makes sense to fix it rather than part out.  It's more satisfying to bring one back from the dead than to just buy a trailer queen.   The high price of wing cars clouds people's thinking -- if the car can't be flipped for $20K or $30K profit then forget it!  If this were a Shelby GT 350 Mustang would there be any question of restoring it? 

[Magnumcharger]

Sure it's got rust, but it's basically just a Roadrunner/Satelite/Belvedere in drag.
Most generic panels would be easily replaced with new aftermarket items. The hard to find stuff is all there.
You'd probably be amazed what a total media blasting would do FOR the appearance of this poor 'Bird.

[70charger_boy]

The car is listed on Craigslist.  No pics, just a phone number.

I agree with you, but, having grown up in the rust belt I have to say that once, just ONCE, I'd like to have the money to buy a finished car that isn't partly made of brown flakes.

[Redbird]

The pictures of the nose suggest that there may not be a lot of metal on the front. Besides the bondo, how much of the metal has rusted out from the inside would be a good place to look at. More car there than the burned Daytona. Once it's stripped down, I'd guess there will be number of open spaces between pieces of metal. If someone brought it to a shop, I'd guess they'd be upside down in short order. Cash deal.

If you can't fix anything you will be upside down in any resto. If you expect to send a car to a shop and have them restore it you might as well buy one done

[41husk]

I would give 20k for it from what I have seen to go any higher I would have to go out and see it for myself!~

The VIN in an envelope with the title is worth 20 grand.  What decade are you guys from?

[nascarxx29]

A friend and I got a superbird in a envelope the car was used for the pink superbird convertible build.But we will never reintroduce that bird back into society

[chargerman68]

Wasnt it talked about somewhere a yr or so back on Mopar Style - I thought the guy had two Birds , the buyer bought the least rusty one even though it wasnt a 6 Pak car , he thought this one to rusty to mess with ?

[chargerman68]

got an email back from this guy and offered it up for 40k stated a cash offer of 35k was in the works...

There were two Birds out of SC that sold.  Same buyer got them both, but is working on the least rusty car as the current project.   This seems to be a new one thats surfaced.  Anyone get the VIN?

how bad!!!!!!!!

[pettybird]

If he takes $35k he's a fool.  The car's at $30 NOW with four days to go. 

$18,000 more to go!

[Old Moparz]

That think would be fun to drive the way it looks, just fix all the mechanical issues & you'd really turn some heads.   

Just like Rene said though, if I didn't have so many projects I'd have gone to look at it by now. Of course the current price would keep me from bidding on it. I still don't think any car is worth what they've been selling for, it's nuts.

Doug - these were in Maine not SC , and the guy only bought one - this was before the SC ones

[69_500]

I was going to say, I talked to the gentleman who bought the pair out of SC, and he showed quite a few photo's of the cars. They were rought, but not all that bad in my opinion.

This car isn't too bad either in my opinion, not the worst by any means.

$38,200, 9 hours to go...

[moparstuart]

  good price in this market,  but when they go back up which they will, he's getting a steal

[Hemi_tyme]

The owner states the car is a rust bucket
On Nov-16-07 at 16:25:19 PST, seller added the following information:

This car would be considered a (basket case). the original engine ,tranny,and rear end are no longer with the car. the rear body is beyond repair. WOULD HAVE TO BE COMPLEATLY REPLACED, also the frame rails are compleated rotted and will need to be replaced. To bring the car up to restoration standard's it would be in the figure of 50k to 100k.

IT IS WHAT IT IS !!!!!!! ITS A REAL V CODE 4 SPEED SUPERBIRD, WITH FENDER TAG INTACT. WITH ORIGINAL MOLDINGS ON THE CAR , AND PILLARS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE.

[BigBlockSam]

but when they go back up which they will, he's getting a steal

none #'s matching everything and a rebody . difinately not a steal .

rebody is the easy way out  but that car can be fixed and alot of these cars are not numbers matching. six pack car is worth the money

If you take the car to someone to restore it well yes it isn't worth it. Like Stuart says it's a real one. It would probably take me a few years but I could probably make a ton on it if I had the funds to get it

[70charger_boy]

I was looking at the auction and noticed that the buyer has 0 feedback and has been a member since Aug '05 

[70charger_boy]

Yep, it's back

Yeah but there is listing and final value fee which was quite a bit I bet. He need better pics. Those one are lousy.

What is even funnier is that I have my Tempest on craigslist and he sent me an email wanting to look at it....
