Looked at a Charger for sale today

[jaak]

There is a 1973 Charger for sale locally, I went to check out today. I think it is a nice car, the body is nice and super solid, I believe it is wearing its original paint, just a couple of dings here and there. The interior is decent, of coarse the seat is ripped and the dashpad is cracked but the rest of the interior is in presentable condition, just needs a good clean-up. Get this , it is a factory slant 6 car (WH23C3XXXXXX). I thought that was sort of unusual. Its got an automatic tranny, disc brakes, and power steering. Its sitting on the side of the highway, so I haven't talked to the owner yet, but sign in the window says it runs good. The tires look to be fairly new also. All in all I think its been taken care of and is a pretty nice car. The asking price is $2700, what do you guys think.

Looks purty clean. I'd still try to talk 'em down to $2K.

I've never really followed 3rd gen pricing, but it looks like a decent buy if it runs, drives, & IS as solid as it looks in the pics. Having a slant six in something like that is pretty cool. I've seen the six banger in 2nd gens before, but never in that body. As long as it ran good, I'd leave it & just enjoy the car.

/6 cars are pretty sweet, i'd buy it and just drive it.

The car looks like a great deal.  (Go to a modern used car lot and see what $2700 buys you these days.  Some 150,000-mile Hondas can easily cost more than that.)  If its not a bondo bucket under the paint then I'd probably snatch it.  If nothing else it's an easy flip. 


I'd buy those GL rims on that thing if you don't want 'em. 

[BMOTOXSTAR]

I would buy it.....

In the third picture it looks like rust behind the rear wheel well or is that just me? 

[Hemidog]

I would buy that one in a heartbeat if it's in that good condition, but then again I don't live in the US.

[Charger1973]

That car looks sweet.  Id try to talk em down a bit but still I dont think its overpriced.  Having a /6 would be cool and I like the color too.

See you can already make some of your money back.     I would go with the steel wheels with stock hubcaps on that car.  I have the hubcaps too if you go that route. 

[mikepmcs]

Sounds like a really fair price to me for a nice driver with hopefully minimal rust repair.  Looks like it has some issues in the quarter but then again what doesn't these days.  BUY IT and drive the heck out of it.

[TruckDriver]

I'd grab it for that price. It would make a great daily driver.

[Fitz73Chrgr]

That thing looks SOLID!!!  I think its a good price.  Like everyone else said, I'd try and talk them down a little, but either way you're not overpaying.  /6 cars are cool, I'd leave it in there and just DD it.   

[Drache]

Just double check on this spot here as it seems rust is forming, it's always nice to know where the cancer starts! 

[elanmars]

let us know if you find out more about the car.

I'd definitely take it!!

You've got the Vector mags on it, paint her orange and put the '01' on the doors...

[The70RT]

You guys are crazy....that car isn't worth more than 1500. Ok critics dish it out

And I thought I was maybe being harsh with my 2 Grand offer.

Having a slant six in something like that is pretty cool. I've seen the six banger in 2nd gens before, but never in that body.

So, I should kick myself in the arse for letting my 73 /6 rust away? 

Damn! I miss that car even more now.

how come? i've seen ones in way worse condition sell for more.

[skip68]

   I say grab it.  running, driving, and minimal rust = $2500 easy.

I have seen better go for less, as recent as in the last couple years.

Man if I was in the market and had the $$$ I'd check that thing out, make sure it REALLY is that solid and runs good, and jump in with both feet.
