Should I part this 72 Charger out?

[chargerkid]

Should I part this out?  It's somewhat of a continuation of the post of which cars did you part out?

This is a 72 Charger.  What should I do?

[73ChargerSE]

Give me the hood

[Ghoste]

Whats it like underneath?

[chargerkid]

Here is the pic of the 318

[RD]

i wouldnt... does it meet any two of these criteria:

1) no title
2) framerails are rusted out

if not, then sell it to someone who could get it running.. or keep it and get it running.

[chargerkid]

It has a title and has perfect frame rails

[Steve P.]

If you are not interested in restoring the car I am. Check you IM's.

[Ghoste]

Then it'd be a shame to part it out.  Somebody out there wants to restore that car.

[chargerkid]

I haven't taken out on the road and don't plan on it.  But I was able to drive it around and does run well.

[69charger2002]

i would definitely NOT part that car out
trav

[chargerkid]

It has nice rallye wheels and rallye tail lights too. 

[Ghoste]

Don't forget the hideaways.

[chargerkid]

Steve P.  I wouldn't mind selling the entire car, but don't think you would want it.

[Steve P.]

And why is that??  I have another grandson coming in a month or so. I need another mopar to pass on.. 

[69charger2002]

grandsons,, geez you didn't seem that old in person.   
trav

[Bandit72]

Steve P.  I wouldn't mind selling the entire car, but don't think you would want it.

why are you so set on destroying such a nice car? i'd put some wide tires on it, give it a quicky paint job and have fun 

[69bronzeT5]

It looks to be in great condition. If I had the cash and didnt have my '69, I'd take it off your hands. Steve seems interested in buying it. I'd sell it whole before parting it out.

[C_stripes]

Whats going on with it the reason you want to part it out??  Did someone die in it or somthing??

[69bronzeT5]

Maybe he hates 3rd Gens

[Steve P.]

Hahahaha,,,,  Yeah Trav, I am getting older by the second.  My older daughter is having her second boy in another month. My younger daughter just got engaged recently. She will be going to college for 4 years and is pretty set on school then marriage.  Hopefully she will stay on that set of tracks..

[mikesbbody]

no way! dont part it out someone here will buy it 

[Steve P.]

I'm trying...   

[69bronzeT5]

I'm trying...   

I'm trying to get him to sell it to you

[Ghoste]

I think it's an anti-authority thing.  If you weren't a mod, then maybe.

[69bronzeT5]

I think it's an anti-authority thing.  If you weren't a mod, then maybe.

thats a good one man

[chargerkid]

Yeah I know what you guys mean.  When I saw the car on the internet I was excited too.  Heck, I even drove 5 hours to get it.  Know of anyone that wants the running motor out of it?   It's the matching numbers motor and trans too!

It's a bench seat/column shift car.

Well, I have to get to bed.

I will post more pictures tomorrow.  Don't lose sleep on this car guys.  As much as I would want to sell the car, I am still "thinking"  of parting it out.

hint:  ever hear two sides of the story?

Honestley, it seems like a great project. Why would you part it out? Theres somebody that wants to buy it and restore it and you wanna kill it. Why? Thats the question....WHY!?!?

[69charger2002]

dude just sell steve the car. why part it out.. even if you got a few extra bucks doing it that way, think of the extra work you'd have to do stripping it/versus letting a member here have it and enjoying it.. or putting it back on the road which is the whole goal of playing with these cars right??
trav

[Ghoste]

And truthfully, the numbers matching 318 and trans are not all that valuable even running.  It's best served left in the car.

[RD]

and.. you got a PM from me too, but since Steve spoke up first, he gets first dibs in my eyes.. awaiting you response on the price though

[69bronzeT5]

I agree. Its better to sell the car than to part it out. Let Steve enjoy the car and bring it back to the road instead of selling the parts and doing who knows what with the shell.

[ChgrSteve67]

I think he already knew what he was going to do and was looking for the approval he didn't get.

hint: ever hear two sides of the story?

Obviously playing some sort of game.

[69bronzeT5]

100% TRUE! WELL SPOKEN


For example, thats like me saying "Should I part my Charger out?" where theres no bloody way I would part it. Except its opposite in this case IMO.

[hemihead]

I say part it out. My kid's 73 Rallye needs parts.   

[dukeboy_318]

It has a title and has perfect frame rails

KEEP OR SALE WHOLE,KEEP OR SALE WHOLE,KEEP OR SALE WHOLE,KEEP OR SALE WHOLE,KEEP OR SALE WHOLE,KEEP OR SALE WHOLE, 

shoot if i had the space, id take it off your hands in a heartbeat.

[BMOTOXSTAR]

Just like  with the 3rd Gen bumper fillers he was going to make.
Why ask a question and then do the opposite. Why are ya' yankin' cranks chargerkid?
Now everyone wants to restore this Charger and chargerkid says na', I am parting it out anyway after everyone wants it. That is like teasing people and this whole damn thread is going to start fights.
WTF chargerkid?

[TruckDriver]

Then it'd be a shame to part it out.  Somebody out there wants to restore that car.

Unless the frame is junk, it would be a shame to part it out. There are a lot of people out there that would make a perfect starter project. Hell, I wouldn't mind the car. Seems 90% of us think it should be sold in one piece.

[chargerkid]

So the agreement on here is that if the car meets the following criteria to not part it out:

Frame rails are good
title

I have been doing these cars for a very long time.  I think alot of people jump to the conclusion that they can restore a car.  There are so many other aspects when looking at a car to buy.  No one here has asked about the rest of the car.

I have two 72 rallyes that would be alot better to restore than this car.  No one has stepped up to the plate to buy those two cars. 

I bought the car in the early Spring.  The internet ad displayed the picture of the passenger side like the one posted at the beginning.  I asked so many questions regarding the car when I called. I asked about the condition of the quarter panels.  He said the one side had slight damage.  All I can say iit was treemendous when I picked it up.

Did I spell that right?

Brian..BMOTOXSTAR...at least I am not selling parts to someone and they are the wrong parts.  Why don't you help pay the rest of the CASH to help complete the production costs?  Getting tired of your blah blah blah.

[Ghoste]

So why wouldn't you tell the whole story from the very beginning?  If the other side of the car has hit a tree (that is what you're implying, right?), then why wouldn't you just show that?  Seems to me your mind should have been already made up shortly after you bought the car, or is this thread a prelude to a lecture about ALWAYS looking at a car before you send money away?

[supserdave]

Whats your point?

[chargerkid]

ghoste just made it

[Chris G.]

I still can't figure out if this should be moved to cars for sale, or parts for sale?  I mean the car is for sale...or at least parts of it...right?

This has been a well done for sale ad. You managed to get top shelf exposure and fly under the radar. Props to 'ya 

[chargerkid]

Here it is

[chargerkid]

then move it.. I don't have to advertise it.

I'm not sure of that even Chris.  It's more like a parable or something isn't it?

[Chris G.]

Now that's a parts car. Ouch! 

[chargerkid]

Here is the point.  You can ask all the questions in the world.  But people are not honest when describing the cars.  Driving 5 hours one way to find the car was a disaster wasn't a good experience.  The guy wasn't going to disclose the info about any damage unitl late in the conversation.  I asked about the conditon about the driver side.  Then finally the guy said a "small" tree fell and just got the quarter and decklid.  Said it can easily be fixed.. Doesn't it look more than that?  Yeah I told the guy it wasn't what he described.  So we did negotiate and I managed to get a better deal.  It would be like me trying to sell this car to you guys in the CLASSIFIED ad showing just the good side and not telling you about the damage. 

[Ghoste]

So you bought it nearly a year ago, you did see it first and now you're disappointed?  Sorry, I can't follow your logic, I haven't been up long yet this morning so I'm still kind of foggy.

[chargerkid]

I bought it in the Spring.  I am just pulling it out of the barn and was recalling the experience.  Sorry that I didn't post it back in the Spring.

[Ghoste]

Okay, I get that reliving part.  Why did you buy it if it's that bad?

[chargerkid]

Ghoste read the post.  The guy didn't describe the condition of the car correctly.  I am not travelling 10 hours for nothing.  So we negotiated a price and loaded it up. 

[chargerkid]

Ok everyone.  I have to get out of here and into the shop.  I just got another 71 R/T last night that I have to get on the rotisserie.  Also looking at a 440 4 speed dana air grabber GTX for sale locally.  It's just the shell..no motor, trans, or dana.  But does have the hood.  I'll post pictures when I can. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Rob

[Ghoste]

I read the post (more than once) and I still don't get it.  Yeah the guy described the car wrong but if you bought it because you felt you drove too far to come home empty handed, then he still won.  Two years ago I drove further than that under similar circumstnaces and it was to buy back a car that I had formerly owned and always regretted selling.  I understand completely what you felt when you saw it, but I kept my money.  I was damned pissed that I wasted an entire day of my life and gas money, and babysitter money, and borrowed a pickup and trailer and racked a LOT of miles on my best friends truck for nothing, but I work too hard for my money to waste it out of spite.

[RD]

what is with the cloak and dagger crap?  I will never get this.  Seriously... if you knew you were going to part it out then just put the car in the parts for sale section and call it good.

I feel like I have wasted more time on this thread just because of the dishonesty purported by you Rob.  So great, grand, wonderful... you made a point about misadvertisement.  You could have done this post entirely different and got the same point across.  You know.. like this:

I bought this car.. this is what the guy told me... here is the car actually.. be careful on people misrepresenting vehicles.. i bought the car still for a lot less... the end.

Easy wasnt it?

... the difference here is that I trust you when it comes to 3rd gens.. whereas other people I would question everything. ( should I change that thought processing now?)  Secondly, if I were to even attempt to buy the car... I WOULD HAVE TO SEE EVERY INCH OF THAT CAR BEFORE THE PURCHASE.  If the damage came up when I inspected the car... I would not have bought it.. simple.

This whole long and drawn out process (the whole dangling the bait concept) is just aggravating as all hell.  It really kinda pissed me off that you felt you had to do this to prove a point.  Well, your point and 75 cents will get you a cup of coffee in my eyes.. whoopty doo.

This is about as bad as a chic offering you to stroke her kitty and then takes you home so you can play with her cat "fifi".

[Nacho-RT74]

I don't see why don't part it out, and that was BEFORE see the small dent. lot of goodies that could be mounted on correct equipped cars, Just an opinion!

[Steve P.]

Well,,,, as misleading as it is I do get his point. The problem here is that among members of this board/family we do not expect that another is out to break our chops.  Though it was done in a very strange way, I do get it.

The first and most urgent reason I was interested in the car was to see that it stayed in one piece. I do like the 3rd gens. but also have a big project I am doing now. I just didn't want to see it's demise. Now after seeing the drivers side I have my doubts that it is worth cutting in half and resurrecting when the rest of the good parts can make another Charger or two or three whole again.

Also considering that I have received many IM's about this thread and I am probably the reason it continued here instead of being moved to the 4-sale section, I think it best I lock this and let it die. This will still give members a chance to read it and take Chargerkids point, but also stop everyone from jumping the gun and trying to buy the car before they see the end pics.

Chargerkid, when you decide what you are going to do with it, PLEASE don't break our chops. Put it where it belongs and for sure you will sell it as one piece or many.
