Current bid $180,000!!! Are you firetrucking kidding me!   Either i am way behind in '70 hemi Charger value or.... '70 hemi Chargers are worth a whole lot more than i thought,...

That's Dirk B.'s car - just finished an 8 year restoration.  Some of the details on that car (and the NOS parts made of pure unobtanium he found/installed) are absolutely incredible.

1970 Hi-Impact 4-speed HemiCharger RT/SE's are pretty few and far between, and that is one of the better examples in captivity.  Period.  Dirk was talking about bringing it out to some of the major shows next year if the car doesn't find a new owner between now and then.  I want to spend some serious time checking that car out in person if at all possible.

Looks like a pretty nice high quality resto, Price doesn't surprise me. LEON.

40 years later and still looking good.

Only the very best and rarest will continue to bring that kind of money in these times.  The question is, if it sells how many people with a 70 Charger sporting a 318 and rust holes the size of small dogs will think their swamp project must still be worth at least 40k?

No matter what, people will always think their car is worth a nice chunk of change. How many ebay cars these days actually hit reserve? People are still living like it's 3 or 4 years ago when stuff was selling for bigger money. The average Charger price has leveled off (or went even lower)...buyers have always known, it's the sellers who need convincing. 

As for the Hemi Charger? What can you say. It's a super rare car and as everyone knows, the '70 Hemi Charger is next in line behind the Daytona as far as worth and desireability. 

[Ghoste]

And rightfully, people should always ask more than they think their object for sale, whatever it may be, is anyway.  As for the 70 Charger being number 2 behind Daytona's well, perhaps in some circles. 

[hemi68charger]

Wow !!!  That thing is awesome..................

[Hemidoug]

As for the Hemi Charger? What can you say. It's a super rare car and as everyone knows, the '69 Hemi Charger is next in line behind the 69 Daytona as far as worth and desireability. 

There...that's better.....

We've tracked the sale of 20 70 Hemi cars so far. 6 needed restoration that went for between $55k - $84k.....the other 14 which were all top end restos averaged $150k with the highest $235k and 7 of them went for over $165k.

[hemi68charger]

OK, I'll chime in for the '68 crowd..............  '68 Hemi Charger R/T's rule !!!!!


  << closet '69 Hemi Charger R/T lover.... 

[472 R/T SE]

Radiator support blacked out...check
No HEMI decal on the air cleaner lid...check
Power booster & master cylinder painted black together as a unit...check

Just a few things that may be minor, but so many high dollar restos skip the rad. support.  Even the uneven primer, color and undercoating being correct instead of just all color.  I'm sure some people may have their opinions of what's correct as the white ecs Challenger proves that, but from the pix I see this car's done right.

My hat's off to you, Mr. Dirk B. (EV2HEMISE), outstanding job.    I should have offered my services to get your pix up @ the Registry. 

1970 HEMI Charger R/T SE's ROCK!!!

So far it is only one buyer...I guess people aren't willing to screw around to test reserve when the price is that high. As far a desirability, I'd have to agree with the great words of wisdom already stated -68s rock!

That is a nice restoration! Did anyone notice the style of exhaust clamp on the chrome exhaust tip? I'm impressed.

Doug, as usual, you're right again....... The '71's had the locking mechanism for the key on the steering column.. Man, I've been away from Whitey way too long......... I still miss her........

[hemi-hampton]

I did notice one common made mistake seen on most resto's though   LEON.

Thats the correct "Q" clamp no?
