Would you buy a Super Bee or Charger?

I saw on Craigslist an '69 Super Bee and '69 Charger.  I want both, but already have 4 cars and no room.  Which would you choose?

I already have a '69 Charger so I'd take the '69 Superbee BUT due to the shape of the Superbee, I'd take the Charger.

Personally, I think the Bee is overpriced and I have looked at that Charger ad, a bit overpriced, would go $10K max.

The Charger.  ( it's one of those "I thought she was cute until I met her supermodel sister" things)

Super Bee for me, although i have had several Chargers in the past and love them too. The Super Bee was the flagship of the Scatpack.
They are both at least 5k over priced tho

I am a little partial to the Super Bee, plus the Charger is just a plain jane not an R/T.  I agree that they are over priced.

That charger has been floating around for a while, would have thought it had sold by now. I don't think 14 is far from what it could get so something sounds a little fishy but then again it might just be the market is that down right now.
Definitely check it out in person first. :Twocents:

It was a real A12 in original paint.  Needed allot of metal work, rear frame rails, and trunk, lower quarters. I sold a nice 383 bee to buy this one off my dad and was going to sell my charger and keep this bee.  Decided I liked my charger a little more and decided to sell the A12 and keep my triple black charger.  I also needed to pay a loan off quickly and this was the easiest way to come up with some quick money. The way my charger was sitting I wouldn't off gotten very much out of it.

I think I'd have to very much disagree with you there my friend.  Just look at the advertising budget put into the Charger and the amount of magazine articles written about the Charger versus the Super Bee and the Coronet RT put together.  Not to mention which car more typically went to factory race teams.

I have charger, so super bee for me, especially I dont like 69 grille

I like the Bee because it's a '69, and Air Grabber.  I don't like Coronet bulge hoods.  The Charger would be a good candidate for a stroker/5-speed R/T clone.  I wouldn't want to cut up a real R/T.  Glad you guys think they are overpriced.  I see cars like mid '70s 4-door Slant 6 Darts asking $5000 and think WTF, I'll never afford a Charger again.  In '91, I had a '68 Charger R/T, completely rust free, shiny original paint, no dents, perfect interior except for sail panel parts of the head liner, bad vinyl top, and non-original 440.  All I could get for it was $4000.  I had a bunch of $2000 to $3000 offers.  One month later, I saw a '68 318 Charger in similar condition to mine, but was hit in the passenger door, and they wanted $8000.  I see the asking prices for total pieces of crap, and get a distorted idea of the market.  Look at this thing:
