[runninhorn]

wow, that is a nice car. Wish it had pics.

[69_500]

With $50K I'd pick up another 500, and have enough left over to pick up a nice R/T to cruise around in. Then again the 500 I'd pick up wouldn't be a running car, but a major project.
That is assuming I had to spend the $$$$ within 24 hours. If I had a little longer I'd go another route.

Another '68 Charger.

[FastbackJon]

Either the Dirty Mary Crazy Larry Charger, or the Vanishing Point Challenger.

links?

[grdprx]

I'd get a complete 68 Hemi Charger, so I could have something to drive while I work in my 68 440 Charger.   

[TruckDriver]

'69 Charger R/T or 500 4spd like Troy's Same color or black. 

[71ChallengeHer]

You wouldn't have to hold a gun to my head. Just give me the 50 grand and 24 hrs and I'll find another Mopar.

[rare69]

I would run to the store, pick up the old car trader and have a 70 cuda in about 24 minutes.

[Rack]

..........terms are you have to take the full $50,000 and spend it on a mopar, what would you buy in the next 24 hours?

You didn't say I'd have to BUY a mopar, only SPEND IT on a mopar. So I'd put every last dime of that 50K into my '68 Charger. 

[TheGhost]

I'd buy myself another second gen Barracuda to drive, and send my current 2 Mopars to the bodyshop with what's left.

[Rolling_Thunder]

1969 Plymouth Road Runner vert

[CB]

I'd buy me a 70 Chally 'vert  if i find one

[BROCK]

I would spend it on my 70 Charger R/T SE in a way that would make you cry foul.  Richard, Carrol & Enzo (rip)
would be proud though   $50K would buy the dirtwork, concrete & jigplate to erect & setup my shop
for my Charger's restoration.  I have the first 7000 sq ft of a 10,000 sq ft building disassembled & waiting for
that money.  Send the money & I'll reserve 2000 sq feet just for you

[Red Ram]

Something like this/early factory drag car...

[Ghoste]

69 Charger.  There, now that wasn't so hard was it?

sorry, clarification- you must BUY a mopar.

Dont want to be comfused about what car to spend money on!!! Use the dually, and build, and spend more money on the 68 Charger

GTS Dart and or Cuda

[Brock Samson]

[Brock Samson]

cruisin around e-bay i saw this and thought it looks pretty good,.. i don't know much about cars so i'll allow these here other fellows to pick it to pieces...

[Mike DC]

I'd buy about 3-5 complete tolerable-rust 1968-69 project cars.

[bzabodyn]

I know of an awesome, but rough, Challenger TA (unrestored) for under $50k... that would be my pick!

[dodgecharger-fan]

Mod-Top Daytona.   

[69_500]

I think I saw at least 2 cars mentioned that are definately not available for $50K anywhere you look. The aforementioned project Daytona, and the other comment of a HEMI 68 Charger. Even in project form, your looking at more than $50K 999 times out of a 1000.

i agree unless they are talking about clone's  ?

I'd go for a '57-'58 Chrysler 300 with full power and A/C.

1. I'll take a clone

2. No one said I have to buy it right this second, I'm a fairly patient person. I'll find one.

3. everyones raining on my parade

[bordin34]

I would buy a black unrestored 1971 Challenger R/T 340 4-speed with just a little surface rust and faded paint. I would spend whatever is left over on the suspension, engine, and drivetrain.

[BrianShaughnessy]

A project 67 GTX and a crate hemi to start on a Silver Bullet clone.

[tipopiola]

I'd be looking for a 4-speed 69 1/2 Super Bee or a 70-71 340 shaker Cuda'.      Unfortunately for me to get $50,000 I'd probably have to be pointing the gun at someone elses head.    tipopiola

what kinda stroker? details?

it has a #'s matching block, i guess take it out and put it in the corner of the garage.

[JimShine]

As many 1968-9 Chargers as I could. I don't care about engine sizes or if they even have engines in them.

451, 470, 500, 512 are the common stroked displacements... 440source has the kits and is a good source for the specs....

[69bronzeT5]

What would I buy???


This right here! And I still get an extra $3k


http://www.cars-on-line.com/34770.html

[mikesbbody]

for me it would be a 71 rt charger  you can still get them for under 50k does that mean i get to keep the change?

[Brock Samson]

correct me if I'm rong runninghorn,..

But i been seein you trying out alot of various third gens for size and i suspect (though it's far more likely i've forgotten) your hoping to buy a super nice charger after getting the seal of approval from knowlagable members here...
  It's great that you didn't rush into buying the first charger to strike your fancy, and now it seems prices are abit depressed and some nice cars are for sale cheaper then they might have been, say, 18 Mos. ago.
I just thought,.. thunk?.. you have had your heart set on a third gen... I'm not sure your favorite color combo or model or even year,..
But it seems to me, you don't have to spend your entire budget to get a kick ass charger,...
But i dunno, your question opening this thread reads to me like one of those "I got this friend of a friend and they"...
So this, blue SE up there appeals to me. it looks like a decent charger and is pretty rare being a s.e and all, seems pretty cheap too, not costing an arm and a leg like an earlier R/T. and what I've heard about stock 400 C.I. motors are they ain't no great shakes unless they've been massaged and a stroker really turns them into a potent power plant...
So my reasoning is/was... buy this blue SE and spent a few more bucks on the motor if you feel you want/need more torque..
And have some money left over...
