WIW - 72 Charger Rallye

[471_Magnum]

"1972 Dodge Charger Rallye 400 Magnum, 727 Auto Slap Stik, Power Bulge Hood, Bucket Seats, Nice Car To Restore"

That and the pictures is about all I have to go on at this point. I'm working on getting more details. I can see some rust in the pictures.

Long story short, it belonged to a deceased in-law and I've got a shot at this car, as well as some other cars and parts (more on that later). It's not a car I really want or need, and I'm not into flipping cars, but if I can suppliment my hobby budget, I will seize the opportunity.

I say go for it! 

[471_Magnum]

yeah... but what's it worth?

[41husk]

You can check many publications on value, I would love to have a rallye, but as per value from those pics it is hard to say.  My buest guess would be 5 -8k from the pics.  A little high for my project budget, but from the limitted pics I would say that is a fair range.

[HKCharger]

my guess is $4500

[AKcharger]

I'd say $5K...at least if thatcar  was available to me that i the most I'd pay for it...and ithat's if it runs at all. If you're just going to sell it Rallyes haven't found their niche yet IMO. You could do a quickie HLPAG to it and get 12K I'd think

[konigcharger]

looks like the hood and pass side fender have been replaced, if it runs and the interior isn't completely destroyed 4-5k


it would be a cool project

[nakita7]

I'd say $3-4K and that's if it runs good. Absolutely done, it's worth about $15K, so if it can be restored for $10K, might be worth it. The 400 cars are just not worth a lot yet.

Yep, thats a 73 hood.

[BMOTOXSTAR]

I will buy the wheels from you, for real man, I like those slots.

[471_Magnum]

Thanks for the heads-up on the hood. I wouldn't have recoginized that. Third gens definitely are not my area of expertise.

Looks to have rust in both quarters and the drivers fender. I won't be suprised if I open the runk and see the ground below.

Frankly, I think most of the numbers I've read so far seem high, but then, I'm not in the market for a 72 Rallye. I'm thinking it's worth $3K tops as a safe number. It's certainly worth that in parts, but I'm not looking to part it.

[hemi-hampton]

Seen one on ebay last week only go to around $1,200 & reserve not met. 3k sounds about right to me LEON.

[nakita7]

If you get it, please don't part it out. Hate seeing that done to real Rallyes, just so a guy can make a clone out of another Charger... 

[471_Magnum]

I think I'm going to pass on it.

[hemi-hampton]

How much do they want for it? I'm on skid row myself or I'd buy it .LEON.

[41husk]

If you pass and they are under 3k I would be interested!

[charge-it]

How much for the 70 Plymouth b-body parked behind it?

[471_Magnum]

The Charger and the Plymouth, as well as a couple of trucks will be auctioned at an estate sale. There will be other Mopar "players" at the auction, so I don't expect any real bargains. Also, relatives will buy the cars if they don't hit the reserve. Just the same, I'll probably attend with hopes snatching up a bargain.

It's a public auction, but I'm not going to give up the location or the date. Y'all wil have to sniff it out yourselves.

[nakita7]

Umm...thanks...

[BROCK]

Well, can't get up that way to do any sniffing.  Hope you keep us updated on how it fares at the sale!

[hutch]

man I love that car and the body on it is great.  I say go for it.
