Advise Please ( I bought it ) What would You sell it for

[400/6/PAC]

I ran across a 73 charger se today.
The body is very straight and I could not find any rust.
It has a 400 that has been pulled and cleaned up but has no crank or cam.
I forgot to see what rear end it has.
The Guy said the trans was a 904 so didn't bother to tell him it's a 727.
Here's where I need advise.
He wants $1200 I bet I could get it for a $1000
My concern is that I'm trying to finish my first 73 ( almost done ) and I have a 69 RR that has been sitting here for a year waiting to get started on.
If I buy this 73 I don't have any dry storage and it may be two years before I can touch it.
I thought about flipping it but it sure is a sweet car that I might want to keep.
What would You do???
Thanks for any advise.
Oh, and I ran off and left my stupid camera at home

IF it was me, itd done left with me, however, if youve got the space to store it outside, simply put a tarp over it at least, id buy it for that, sounds like a decent deal a 73 400 bb car is a s steal for 1k if the body is straight and not totally rusted out. plus ive got a real nice 400 crank i can sell you cheap, get it running probably sell it for 2-3 times that price if you get the right buyer.

I would Buy it ...and Flip it.

[Mopar440+6]

Buy it, sell it to someone who has the storage and the ability to restore it and use the profits to finish the two cars you currently own...

But seriously, I sold a '73 400 SE for 1K a couple years ago. It needed many body panels, and a rebuiild. It had a mint interior, and I guess that was the big sellijng point on the car.

 Forget flipping it , the Sawzall is hungry .

Forget flipping it , the Sawzall is hungry .

I have new blades too
Naw I could never do that.
I'm going to offer him $700 take it or leave it.
The RR has been waiting this long I guess a couple more months wont hurt.
I have no way of knowing if the block is good but this car has a very straight and rust free body.
I guess if I get it, I'll tarp the s$!t out of it and put a car cover on it untill I decide what to do with it.

Thanks RT
Now I have to buy it

[400/6/PAC]

I called the Guy and offered $700.00
He said He would take $900.00
I told Him that $700.00 was as high as I could go.
He say's I'll think about it and call You back.
A few minutes later He called and asked if I would through in a 20 pack of Bud Lite.
I was LMFAO
Heck yea I told Him.
I got it for $700.00 plus the beer.
I pick it up on Saturday>
These pics are from a camrera phone.
I'll have more on Monday.

Sounds like a great score.

Are you gonna get in the tank with Flipper?  I sure as hell would for that price!!  Great score...    

[supserdave]

I'll give you $750 if you deliver to Iowa! Nice score, cheap motor, and drive the wheels off her!

[1969chargerrtse]

How cool is that?  Great job.

[Magnumcharger]

Did he at least SHARE his beer with you??

[Tilar]

You know, I'd probably be willing to give you a couple hundred profit to that if you think it would make an 1100 mile trip.... Oh hell I'd probably throw in the 20 pack of Bud if you gave me one or two =)

 Put it out first , the front end is on fire .

[400/6/PAC]

Put it out first , the front end is on fire .

Yea, I'll probably try to flip it.
I already have a charger and I really want to start work on the RR.
Plus I need my beer money back.
I cant believe a 20 pack was the deciding factor for Him to sell.

[41husk]

I,m guessing he probably would have let you off the hook on the beer if you insisted but it looks like a nice score and it appears that it is not an SE, fewer SE cars in 73 than non Good luck with it

Beer is legal tender in many situations!
