[moparstuart]

 wow that car is rough , but real !

[nascarxx29]

Wow how long was it outside.Curious to see what it goes for

[moparstuart]

Good God! at what point do you consider something too far gone to fix? I know you can weld new sheet metal onto it, but you have to have metal to weld to.  or is the vin tag what's for sale here?

anything is fixable  thats just a long term project

[runninhorn]

I bid $5500 and was outbid

Im guessing it will sell for around $60k

[69_500]

I'm thinking it will top out at around $32,500.
Just a hunch.

Now if you were to offer up the same car last year at this time, then I'd say the guess of $55K wouldn't be far fetched. However this year everything is down, and project prices are down a lot from last year.

[Magnumcharger]

It really doesn't look that bad to me.
Sheetmetal is relatively easy to get for this car, aside from the nose and wing.
But even they pop up on Ebay every once in awhile.
If the buyer were to opt for paying a professional shop to do the restoration, then yes, it's going to cost more than the car is worth to fix.

For a hobbyist, this car would be the cat's ass.

[gtx6970]

I'll say it doesn't break 25K

I've said it before and I'll say it again,,,,,cut it up and let it die, we can't save them all

[BigBlockSam]

28--29k

[69bronzeT5]

"Up for auction is my real 1970 V Code Superbird. I am going to start off by stating a few items prior to starting my discription of the car. I WILL NOT take or even discuss trades. I WILL NOT entertain any trades. I don't care what you have.Don't ask, as I will not respond to your email or messages.  NO TRADES......Secondly, I will only sell to American buyers or our Canadian friends north of the border. I will not ship to anywhere else. Again, don't waste my time asking. I will not discuss my reserve."



I wonder if he'd take a trade

[moparstuart]

28--29k

i was thinking in this market 20k  or maybe just hoping 

[69_500]

$20K? Is that what your hoping it tops out at so you can bid on it? JK

Then you would have a real Bird to put all of those parts you have on right?

[moparstuart]

 would be nice but been trying to do that for years  !!   if i did get a real basket case i do have the parts . Then the convertible could slowly get a reproduction kit !!    but like you at this point would really like to have a real daytona !   My bird is just the way i like it now.
   I am high bidder for a minute !

[Big Bird]

Wow, a real " project car". Besides lack of documentation, non-matching motor, no nose , missing wing, (?) . Lots of $$$$$$$$$$$ & man hrs. in this baby !!!!. Better off with a clone !!!!!!!

[bill440rt]

Ok, maybe it's time to speak up. I've been kind of biting my tongue on this forum about this car.
This car was actually promised to me & a friend of mine by the seller, & sold out from under us 24hrs before I was supposed to get it. I don't blame the buyer, he did not know of the deal.

This car was found in Old Bridge, NJ. It was left abandoned on an elderly lady's property along with several other cars. This was the only Mopar. She hadn't heard from the owner in several years, & called to have them picked up & taken away. Hard to believe in this day & age, but it's true.
A co-worker of mine tipped me off that his cousin (who owns service stations in Old Bridge & Staten Island), was called to haul them away. Even he had NO IDEA what this was!! he thought it "might be a GTX..." 
I knew exactly what it was, & expressed interest in the car. We worked out a price, he was gonna get a title, yadda-yadda. Then, it's gone. I can tell you it was purchased by the seller for $4000. My offer wasn't too far below that.
It is EXTREMELY rough. A future re-body wouldn't surprise me.

There was no title with the car. There was no engine with the car. Looks like the collision damage to the left rear has been given a quick fix.
There was a big thread on this car on Moparts not too long ago. It has since been deleted. (No surprise).
Here are some pictures of the car prior to the original purchase.

sorry to here of your misfortune thanks for the information

[sunroofsuperbird]

Is it me or does that vin# on door sticker look fake? never seen one with spaces in it like that?

[rav440]

Im guessing it will sell for around $60k

$60K  id say $20K is even high , no nose , wing , non #s matching motor , no fenders , no hood , no rear glass and trim . hell between the rear window trim , fenders , hood , nose and wing you talking replacement costs of $10K +

most likley it will end up a rebody with a restamped motor . it would be nice to have some kind of data bace or something to keep track of these so when the time comes up in a year or so , when somebody is tryng to pass off a rebodied car as an original the will be called out on it .

[daytonalo]

How about we send a crew over to see your buddy who jerk-----ed you off !!! Kind of Jersey style !! By the way the car , it will Buff out !!!

Yeah, thanks daytonalo!
Believe, I haven't lost sleep over this thing. There was no title, & the service station owner who hauled them away had to wait a month to haul these cars away legally. Who knows what is going to happen when the new owner tries to get a title for this car.
My friend & I were in no financial position right now in our lives to take a chance like that.

[daytonalo]

I can get a title for any car or truck pre 91 !! I do it all  the time .

It looks fine.  My Bird is exactly like that and has an original sticker.

Thanks for the updated info Bill .Another Old bridge NJ superbird legend.Another local area found wingcar.Last one sometimeback was the hemi superbird...Me and Pete were always tracking wing car activity throughout the North and Southern NJ area.I recall a abandonded house near old bridge with a 71 lime barracuda.Last name was Winters

[nascarxx29]

Your welcome!
I remember Pete was big into tracking this stuff down. Those were the good ol' days.... 

I'm not sure of the name of the person that had this 'bird on their land. Story goes, the owner of these cars was storing them on her property. Years passed, she hadn't heard from him, had no way of getting in touch with him, etc. She wanted them GONE.
The house was right on Englishtown Rd.!!!  Yes, the one leading to Raceway Park! How this car went unnoticed all these years is astounding! Anyone that is from this area knows the traffic on that road.
From what I hear, the weeds were so high you couldn't even see the roofs of the cars. There was a small tree growing through the engine compartment of this car.

I can get a title for any car or truck pre 91 !! I do it all  the time .

Larry

Larry, we were just afraid of a bad VIN search coming up, stolen, already titled to another person, etc. THEN we would have been in a mess. This car was moved to a service shop in Staten Island, NOT a car dealer as mentioned in the auction. The owner would not let us on the property, we couldn't go at night, etc. He was supposedly going to get titles for ALL the cars, before selling them. We weren't about to take chances.

I'm just sitting back to watch what happens to this one. Very interesting story, indeed.

[nascarxx29]

I had gotten a 318 challenger ragtop in 2007 that was removed and loaded like a dumpster.It was either broadway title or international title services .They got me paperwork for $150.00.$100.00 more than I paid for the car

Q:  what happend to the title Feb-21-08
A:   I do not know. I bought it with a bill of sale from a car dealer in New York. I spoke to Broadway Title Company and I was told the titile was $179.00 to $225.00, which isn't a problem. It takes 4-6 weeks to process the title. I need the space now in my garage.
Q:  do you have fender tag ? also is there any other parts other than what is presented in the pictures. does the car come with the dadh vin and does the body vin match the title and dash pad vin Feb-21-08
A:   NO FENDER TAG PRESENT.ONLY PARTS SHOWN IN PICTURES ARE PRESENT. DASH VIN TAG IS PRESENT AND IN PLACE. I COULDN'T GET A DECENT PICTURE TO POST. IT DOES MATCH DOOR TAG.NO TITLE, ONLY BILL OF SALE.
Q:  hi seller, maybe i missed it, but do you have the back glass for the plug? also,are frt rails bent or are they rusted[need repair]. no wing present? thank you for reply, j Feb-21-08
A:   i DO NOT HAVE THE REAR GLASS FOR THE PLUG. I DO HAVE A 70 CORONET REAR GLASS, BUT I DON'T THINK IT WILL FIT. I WILL CONFIRM. FRT. FRAME RAILS ARE NOT BENT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, HOWEVER THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOES NEED A REPAIR. NO WING PRESENT WITH THE CAR.

[billssuperbird]

i would like to know what happen to it

[nascarxx29]

Wonder where it went and will be at next.We do have the RM23VOA177585 to keep tabs on

[BigBlockSam]

I've noticed this happen with most good project cars on ebay . some one goes to look at the car with cash in his pocket . then he makes the guy a good offer for the car . the seller doesn't have to pay any final evaluation fee to ebay if he closes the auction early and he's got the cash in his pocket. thats how i got my roadrunner and my 70 charger r/t .

[Magnumcharger]

And now there's a wing for sale on this very site for $2500 bucks...just what that car needed!!

[WilliesDaytona]

Anyone have an update on this car? I would love to own that unit, did I mention I am needing a project.. LOL
