Inexperienced

Hello all,

Well I'm inexperienced about this but i do have a love for the Charger, thanks to mopar440_6.   I'm looking to purchase a Charger.   Could you all help me out with this?   Once again I'm inexperienced with this but have a newfound love. And I'm serious about it. Would really appreciate the help with what to look at.

Thx

Khyron

Any specific year?  73-74, and 66-67 Chargers are still fairly cheap.

Welcome. What year are you looking for? The amount of money you have to spend will have a direct effect on what year and/or condition you end up getting. Me, I had to have a '68 which is one of the more sought after years so I ended up getting one that needs work because I didn't have a big bankroll. Since I bought it almost two years ago the thing is probably worth $3k more than I paid for it, even though I haven't done much of anything to it. That's all going to change here in a couple months though. Prices are still going up so don't goof around too long. :icon_smile_big:

Welcome aboard! Good luck in your search. Just keep searching and you'll find one. It might take awhile. It took me two years.

Right now i have 5k, which isn't much i know, but i was looking for something that i could fix up.  A project car. Always wanted the bragging rights of fixing up a Charger.  Umm, was looking at 3rd gen Chargers but the year doesn't really matter too much as with that amount of money I cant be too picky.

Old Moparz

I think 5K would be a good starting point for a project, but for the money, try to find the most solid & complete car you can. I think the body work would be the most expensive, & also the easiest to miscalculate for what it will actually cost. A lot of times what looks very minor can be a never ending mess. Terms like "surface rust" or "needs only" or "easily repaired" or "good father & son project" will screw you beyond belief. The best thing you can do for yourself is to look at as many cars as you can, & don't be afraid that this can take months to do. It might even take longer, so be patient & don't rush into thinking the car your looking at will be the only one left for sale. Of course the seller might make it sound like he's doing you a favor by taking your money, but in most cases you'll be doing him a favor.

Welcome,

If you are serious about a project car.     My neighbor had/has one.   $3500 I think that is what he told me.   69 auto on floor,   Has all the parts but will need a lot of sheet metal work.

He is a good guy and I can always look at it, and or photo it for you if he still has it.

Car is in ND.

 I dunno I disagree, $5K ain't much these days, when i started it was fine but not now...
Seriously I'd recommend taking out a loan and geting 492's '68 even if it meant a debt for a couple years... it's only 20 and well worth it..
unless your crusin for a brusin...  :P
anyone disagree?...

I agree 100%  Heck he is including the extra motor right?  Or do I mis-read the add.  Heck you are much better off buying that than a project car.  Trust me

Car price $5,000
Paint body work, $10,000 (minimum)
Motor and Tranny Easy $5,000

This is not including all the small things wheels tires, small parts needed, Interior redo, carpet, headliner.... ETC will be another $5,000 minimum when said and done.

BUY THE 68 R/T you will be happier in the long run.....

Inexperienced, hook up with a auto salvage/trucking service that pick's up donated vehicles for churches, etc... someone beat me to a running 1970 Challenger with a 340 and slap stick for $ 1,800, several weeks ago. Also what state are you in?

If you would like, I know where a 73 charger, 440 SE is.  It is only 4,000 and is very solid from what I can see.  I will get some pictures if you are interested.  It is white with a black vinyl top and black interior.  The lady who owns it is the original owner, and it has been in her barn for about 6 years now.

Let me know.

Heck, I've owned my Charger for 6 yrs, spent 3 yrs restoring it, have been on this site for years now, and I'm still inexperienced compared to a lot of guys on here. Buying a Charger that has already been restored definitely has it's pros, but restoring one yourself feels sooooooo much better once you get it done! Either way, be prepared to spend!
