68 charger r/t vin that sold on ebay

[drewbugger]

Don't know if anyone else saw it but a 68 charger r/t vin dash tag sold on ebay so watch out for the fake. I would be pissed if I bought a fake for good $ vin # was xs29l8b392423 I tried to buy it so it wouldn't be used but only had $50 max bid on it. My brother in law ran the vin and it came back clear so keep your eyes peeled

And another 318 car is soon to go waaay up in value.

No in 68, XS 29 L is a 440 R/T Charger (Or was, it obviously isn't with us any longer)

I took down the VIN. I'll save it for the '68 registry.

Sucks.  



Unfortunately I don't think VINs are reliable anymore without a clear ownership trail of trustworthy people.  There's just too much of this stuff.  Probably at least 2/3rds of the Charger R/Ts being parted out during the last 10 years have gotten the VINs snatched.

Another reason to forget that # matching crap!!! To me the car is what it is!! A crappy car, with a hemi in it, is a crappy hemi charger
OK.... a Daytona Charger, UNRESTORED, with a document trail from day 1, that is another thing, but!!!
Ohwell!!

IMO a "normal" charger has a value according to what it is, there and then, regardless of what the vin # is.

just check ebay any day and it seems like the vast majority of the 2nd gen chargers being sold are r/t's.  That doesn't jibe with the fact that r/t production wasn't nearly as much as standard charger production. some would say that a car that's worth more has better odds of being saved vs. a nonperformance model in the same shape, but those same cars would have increased odds of being beaten into the ground.  you would think that the number of cars for sale on any given day would somewhat resemble the total number that were made in the first place.

That's why I maintain that a Slant 6 column shift Charger is infinitely more rare than ANY R/T, Daytona or 500...yes ANY other Charger! Think I'm kidding...how many have you ever seen?  I've seen ONE in my life!

Of course rare vs. desireable is a diffrent story. Rare yes, desireable...not so much
