Think this is worth $1500?

[C_stripes]

1970 sport fury with a 318 rust free. Runs but needs a muffler.

[TruckDriver]

  I would pay it.

[dkn1997]

would be the best 15 hundo you ever spent!

[Chatt69chgr]

They will never make a car like that again.  It probably weighs over 5000 pounds.  In scrap metal alone it's worth $500.  Buy it and preserve it.  Locate any parts you might need immediately.  No telling what something like that will be worth 20 years from now when everyone is driving crappy little asian econoboxes grocery getters and motorscooters.

[mikesbbody]

hell yeah! 

[tan top]

     that looks  real straight   

[Death1970Proof]

Lift it and put on some 24" inch chromies... P-I-M-P!!!

[Kevin68N71]

Well let's put it all out on the table.

You've got somewhere around 230 hp 318.  Since you need a muffler, I would go with dual pipes.  That 318 is extremely strong and will go 200,000+ miles easy, I know of two that have.

You have a big, comfortable car.  That interior cloth may still be available if it's needed.  It's a nice color, the white top is easy to replace.  Not quite sure but it looks like you might have A/C too.  You've got a big trunk and a decent back seat.  This is the kind of car to cruise across the country in.

You likely have the 727 auto in that which is a great transmission.  The other writer that mentioned these are going away is right, people have scrapped them or let them rust or just got rid of them.  This is why wagons are on the increase in value, something I said for years and was laughed at until recently.

Plus it's the Sport Fury model.  I like the concealed headlights.

On the downside, if it has been sitting awhile or has high miles, be prepared for replacing pumps, battery, radiator possibly cored, transmission filter r/r etc.

Even with that said, this is one of those deals that you get some real value out of.  The car is simply worth $1500.  A Road Runner is not worth $60,000, I don't care what engine it has.  Right now, and I am being quite frank, for people making $30,000 to $70,000 a year, most 68-71 Mopars are simply not worth the price, unless you are really hung up on it, sentimental reasons, or you are "moving up", leveraging profits from previous cars.  I know I say this at the risk of offending people, but a Road Runner with a 440 in it is not likely going to give you twice as much pleasure as a big block Corvette that costs 1/2 as much.  I know this is just my ranting opinion, but Mopars years ago surpassed the pleasure for dollar paid mark.  This is why the Challenger is such a hit....you're buying a NEW Hemi Challenger, with no hidden rust no farted-in seats with an all new drive train for a fraction of the cost of an old one.  That again, is VALUE.

You're purchasing something that is WORTH what you are paying in the dividends it will pay YOU.

wow... and I was just going to say buy the damn thing or your a moron hehehe

[C_stripes]

I'm working on it.  I'll let you know.  I need something to take to LA when I move there. I think I would look good in that thing.

[Old Moparz]

You could move everything you have in it to LA.     Awesome car for $1500. 

[dpm68]

Get it.

[pettyfan43]

I'd buy it and stick my Cop car wheels on there!!!

[MoParMetal]

if you don't want it. ill take it!

[Magnumcharger]

I agree with all of the above.
Especially the part about the farted-on seats. 

[Charger_Fan]

You don't know how close I came to snagging that car. Aside from possibly flipping it though, I don't have any room to park it & keep it.
The first time the guy made an ad, it was marked sold a few hours later...I thought to myself that someone got a sweet looking deal. He re-listed it because of a no-show buyer.
Go snag it, before I change my mind!

[TeeWJay426]

I'd pay that for it.... happily!!! Have you done it yet?

[C_stripes]

I'll hopefully have the money today and go get it on saturday. I have been emailing him back and forth.

[Blown70]

NICE I would pick one up in a heart beat!!!  You could move your whole house to CALI.... in that...

[69*F5*SE]

Hell to the yeah it's worth it.

[TheGhost]

No.  Donks are for idiot rapper wannabes, and drug dealers.  Also, that's four letters, not words.


As for is it worth it?

HELL YES.

If you don't want it, I know of quite a few people who would.

[C_stripes]

Well.  It looks as if I am going to go pick it up this week end.  I am getting excited.  I will let you all know how it goes.

[mikepmcs]

I agree with all the above.  MINT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Kid]

Well.  It looks as if I am going to go pick it up this week end.  I am getting excited.  I will let you all know how it goes.

Sweet !

That thing was definitely worth $1500 . Nice score!

"A Road Runner is not worth $60,000, I don't care what engine it has."

I'm not offended by this comment, and I'm not here to start a pissing match either. I'm also not here to attack anyone. I'm only posting to possibly show some "real" awareness. Cars in my opinion are only worth what someone else is willing to buy them for regardless, whether they be a Road Runner, Charger, or a Sport Fury. That is why Ebay has actually become a good guideline for what "items are really worth". Closed deals that are "paid for" are good indicators to me that apparently someone else thought it was worth "X" amount of money. My 1971 Road Runner with original 440-6 pack and four speed is a rare car in that it has almost every possible option available in '71 and I've been offered way more than 60,000 dollars for it. (This is just the closest example that comes to mind right away). Also check the link out below on this Road Runner.

I happen to own two Road Runner's and a Charger. I like all the Mopars.
I personally believe the drive train in any car "does" dictate what it really is worth to the people that can honestly afford to step up and buy it.  Please just remember though, all this is just my own opinion on things. Thanks

Yes, but you miss my point.

In a free market, anything is certainly worth whatever the market will bear.  And certainly, a rare 426 hemi 4 speed sunroof car with other bizarre options is worth more than  a slant 6 car, in terms of what the market will pay.

My statement was based on my personal perceptions of value.  I don't think it is worth a one or two years of  pay-or more- for these cars.  I am glad I got mine when I did.  I bought my 1971 Super Bee for $7000.  I think the car is worth now $15,000, maybe.  But it isn't worth $30,000 like some might pay for it.  I make a very good living, but I wouldn't shell out $150,000 for a Superbird.  If ya got the money go for it, but for ME, personally, that car is not worth more than $50,000, if that.  My idea of value is the amount of pleasure I would get out of the car for what I paid.  I could buy a Ferrari, a Corvette, a lesser Mopar, all for the price of a Superbird.  To me, that is just not value.  The other cars are not slower, give just as much pleasure, etc than the Superbird.  I don't pay out my dollars because a market tells me to.  Again, that is just how I feel, most Mopars are priced out of what they are worth.

If I were starting over, I would look for the cars that the market has not overinflated (although the whole market is overinflated.)  Certain Corvettes, Panteras, 390 AMX, Jensen Interceptors, and others.

As far as Ebay is concerned, check the Mopar section under the completed auctions.  Quite often, the "Reserve not met" entries far outnumber those successfully sold.  A number of those cars sold on auction sites have had rust and other issues glossed over, just ask some of the people here who have purchased them online.  Ebay should not be solely relied on for determining market value.

[bull]

Where were those pictures taken? The landscape looks familiar.

[BROCK]

There is a brown 383 car just like this downtown in a "not for sale" lot.  It's been there for years. 
Now I know.  It's a 1970 sport fury.  Thanks!
Oh!  Buy it!!!

[C_stripes]

In Utah

[Charger_Fan]

Well?? The ad's gone, did you get it?
Let's see some pics!

[billssuperbird]

the front marker light out of 1970 fury  go in a nose of a superbird

[TheGhost]

Bump, cause I wanna know if he got it, too.

[C_stripes]

I didn't get it and its a bit of a sore spot. But I'll live.  There is probably better cars anyway.

[CHRGR SE]

$1500 is nothing for that car. It's worth at least $3k on the left coast.
