Ready to Sell the 500?

[69Charger500]

Depends what it is worth whether I sell or not.  Now or never, as I won't need to after a few more weeks...

'69 Charger 500, 440-4Speed, Super Track Pak, Console, T5-X9, 59,000 miles.  I think most of you are familiar with it.

Original owner told me it was the pace car at the Motor State 500 in June '69; 3rd owner said he had pictures of it there on the track at the inaugural race at Michigan International Speedway.  Have yet to confirm for sure...

Have original bill of sale and lots of other paperwork & pictures, but no broadcast sheet.

All original except has '69 service block...

Looks great and runs great.

What should I ask for it?  Just looking for a price range to find out whether or not to list it for sale or just keep it...

After 10 years. it's a tough decision.

Thanks....

Get it appraised. Then donate it to a charity. Get a tax break equivelant to it's APPRAISED value.

Either that, or give it TO ME!

you got me.

Like I was saying, do you NEED to sell it? If you need to, you should sell it. If you dont need to, then dont. Its a beautiful and rare car and it'll be hard replacing it

[69Charger500]

The need to sell is based on a financial decision that will be made for me if I don't sell within a few weeks.  After that, it won't really matter.

I'd prefer to keep it, but if it solves my concerns, than so be it.  I'll look for a nice Super Bee or 383 Charger instead for those times when you just need to get out and drop the hammer...

[Ghoste]

Are your daughters good with it this time?

[69Charger500]

they don't know...

[Hemidoug]

If it was only A4....

[TruckDriver]

Looks like Troy's car

[TUFCAT]

I think his car is T7 though.

[tan top]

looks real nice  , try not to sell if you can , you will only regret it later        any more pictures

[1969chargerrtse]

Sorry I can't help you on the price.    But that is my all time favorite color, with the white stripe.

you might post this in the aero car section get the experts advice ?

[PocketThunder]

$65,000.00

Before i read your post i was thinking $75,000. 

Dont know about $100,000 though, but thats just my opinion.    However, i hope you get six figures, (for no biased reason ofcourse) 

[Beep Beep Dave]

Just keep it, great colour combo

$65,000.00

That is about what I thought as well. I would guess in the $60,000-$70,000 range.

But what the heck do I know. Actually don't even listen to me. 

Good luck in your sale.

[69_500]

I'm hoping to see what the two cars at BJ go for this weekend.

Hey if your serious about selling it, give me a call. That isn't a joke give me a CALL. Would definatley love a 4 speed car over the AT that I have.

Your car is like the red headed steep-child of the family.          

Just take out the numbers tranny and put in a 4-speed and get it over with already.  I have the numbers tranny for my car and it is not going back in...

[69_500]

Yeah pretty much. Some times I think that I need to go out to the garage and do this to the car  , for all the comments I make about it here. Its true though, its not exactly what I wanted, but it is the type of car I wanted. Love the color R4 red though, just not too fond of the white gut, or the AT part.

[hemi68charger]

I think his car is T7 though.

Yeap, T7... But this one has the correct color of Dana's stripe, white......... Found out two years ago from the second owner the car originally came with a white stripe, not black that's on her now.... If I don't trade Dana towards a winged car, I'll be putting the white stripe back on..........

69charger500's C500 looks great !!!

Troy

[69_500]

From the photo's I have of his car, I'd say that is is a very nice ride. Something that I wouldn't mind just hopping in and cruising over to a show in .

[BigBlockSam]

looks real nice    , try not to sell if you can , you will only regret it later   

  that would be a hard car to replace. about $65000

[nascarxx29]

Nice looking car and combo a guy my friend bought a superbird from . Had a  500 that looks similar he was from IL or MI Charles R.And it might but not certain be the same car I vidoed that was for sale at the nats one year.Was also bronze

And I was thinking $75,000.00 before I decided to go with $65,000.00   

Also, a Hemi 500 sold last night for $110,000.00 at BJ.

From the photo's I have of his car, I'd say that is is a very nice ride.

I've looked at the car in person before and in spite of my admitted bias for the 500's, I'll tell any who haven't seen it that pictures cannot do it justice.  It's a great car.
On a related note Danny, am I more offended at your car being called a red headed step child than you are? 

[69_500]

Probably, but then again its my car and I can bash it all I want. Feel free to bash it too if you want, I won't take any offense. My car doesn't mind if people do this to it  or  and some even go 

I would love to check the car out in person. I'm hoping he contacts me, as I'm free this weekend and wouldn't mind a trip to his house to take about 800 photo's of the car, and try to work a deal out.

[Highbanked Hauler]

Three years ago I had some outfit at Carlisle appraise my 500 and it came out to $41,000. but there is a bunch of reasons for that. Your car I would definitely agree with the $65-75 range but I think  people are a Little more cautious in their buying habits now.  Nice car by the way

[69Charger500]

Thanks for the responses.  I think I'm getting a better feel for what a fair price would be.

The thing that really makes these decisions tough, is that in 5 or 10 years will they continue to go up in price so I couldn't afford another one, or will the prices stabilize or come down eventually?

And what does a decent 383 Super Bee go for these days, I wonder?

[69Charger500]

By the way, heres' one of the pics I have of it from around 1972...

[69Charger500]

and here it is @ WPC a few years back (I always liked this picture/view)...

[69Charger500]

and this one...

[69Charger500]

might as well throw this one in...

[Highbanked Hauler]

 The only thing i can say for certain is that I have never regreted keeping mine, but you do what you have to.

[69_500]

I can tell you that my dad has admited that he regrets selling all of his cars. He doesn't regret selling 1 in particular, just wishes that he had kept at least 1.

OH and a decent driver bee can be had for not a huge bank roll. Depends on if your looking for a 4 speed car, or if it doesn't matter. Or if your picky on the year, or the color choices. Personally I love the 69 Superbee's, that is my opinion though. Not too much of a fan of the 70's front grille, although it is growing on me slowly.

[69Charger500]

i'll take a '69 4-speed in B5 Blue...
