Finding a 69 Charger today, still isn't easy, though over 70,000 were made.

About a year and half ago when I bought my charger, I was on the net everyday for over a year.  Looking for something under 30,000.00 and hopefully an R/T.  It was very hard to find one in good condition done right.  I finally bought my RTSE on ebay with "Buy it now" for 29,500.00 sight unseen ( it wasn't done right either ).  I've been through a lot but really have no regrets and still today, just thrilled to be part of the Mopar crowd and proudly driving around in my charger.
My point being.  Back in 2007 it was really really hard to find a Charger under 30,000.00 restored, I'm sure if I didn't grab it on day 2 at 6:00 in the am on my way to work, someone might of and then I would be back to looking again and again.  I was on Hemmings, and my local paper everyday, I searched and googled and ya-hood daily until I bought that car.
I just checked ebay this afternoon and there were only 11, 69 Chargers listed.  Of that, 1 was 85k, one was 45k 1 was a rotted project car a General Lee and a RTSE or two. 
Point being, to me it looks just as hard today to find a nice Charger around 30k as it was almost 2 years ago.  Really, there were only a handful of cars available for the average Joe.  For a car so popular that they made over 70,000!  It amazes me that the market is still tight for this car.  For those of us that are lucky to own one of these cars says a lot about the car market and demand, still for this car.
Markets go up and down, but I think the Charger market is as special and appreciated today as it ever was.  I really believe time stands still when it comes to the admiration and love for this car since it was first produced.  I'm sure most of the Charger years are similar, I've just been watching the year I was interested in.  What do you think?   :laugh:

This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I really regret selling my '69 383/4spd Charger. I got it for $1,000 in 1999, sold it because of my now ex-wife for $400 only 2 years later. The body wasn't bad, had new rear quarters installed, but it need floors and the left rear frame rail. But either way, by now, that stuff would of been done :icon_smile_blackeye:

That was the Charger I owned when I joined this forum, (well, the old one anyway). Now because of the prices on these cars, chances are I'll never be able to own or find one I can afford :-\

These cars are still barely worth the price of the parts & labor that have been invested into most of them by now.



It's not politically correct to say a $30K old musclecar is not overpriced.  But I think it's the truth.

I bought the Scow exactly 1 year ago this week, and in that year have been ALWAYS on the lookout for Chargers on the road....and have been all over California, Oregon and Washington and have only seen 1 living example, that being Brock's out there on the streets. They are very scarce out this way.

seen  maybe 4 rotted out dead ones. rumour is a guy has a green 69 r/t he drives once in a while in town but I have yet to cross paths with it in 15 years.

my friend and fellow Chiseler Jon has a '70 that he drives when it runs.....which is not often.

lots of superbees tho. theres at leat 5 or 6 I see all the time.

yeah the green R/T of which you speak belongs to an ex-cop I've seen it a few times at fisherman's Warf... it's also got the rare hood blackout treatment,..
the's several around here Frank, check the "chargers in the wild" post... a few of each Gen.
more to the topic though,.. I think the prices peaked about june three years ago when the DOH Movie came out...
Just my obsevation at the time.. i dunno about now seems the market is pretty seriously depressed just now.

Well, now is the time more than ever with the way the economy is.  To me that's always the problem.  When times are hard and prices drop, Few people have the money to take advantage of the deals.  I got mine via the old 2nd mortgage trick when Banks were giving out money cheap.
As for 500hp__440, atta boy! Is that car Y2 yellow?  It took me until I was 50 before I got my Y2 yellow RTSE. Love the thumps up shot.  That is how we all feel.   I just can't fiqure out what bad word has 5 letters?  I must be getting old, **** it.  :icon_smile_wink:

See, I would pass on that.  A 318 2bbl car in green. :eek2:  But the body work that is needed is pretty serious for my taste.  Plus I'm sure the whole car, interior , trim and all needs complete replacement or restoring.  I'd pass for 8,500.  Hard to say sight unseen but I wouldn't pay more than 5k for that one.  Lots and lots of work and money ahead for a XP car?

Your not kidding man. 2nd gens are hard to come by. I've only been able to find 3 locally (one shown to me by 73ChargerSE), 2 about an hour away, and one of those doesn't have a vin. These were cars I've found just from cruising around. I'm still trying to find a 2nd Gen or 68-70 B body that someone wants to sell...

Mike DC

 
These cars are out there. 

But the 2nd-gen Charger is ALWAYS  the owner's "keeper" even if he's got 3 other old musclecars from 3 different brands.  It's always the one that he won't risk damaging and he won't sell. 


He'll cruise the 1977 Camaro that never really got too hard to get parts for.  Or the 1965 Mustang that gets brand new repro parts cheaper than a self-pull junkyard. 
   

Ghoste

There are still a lot of people who want to sell their Charger but are afraid to right now because the market has tanked.  They either overpaid to begin with or it's folks who have had the car for a while and bought it right but they are scared that if they sell now, intwo months the economy will undergo it's miracle cure and the car they gave away will suddenly be worth 50k.

CB

My car would be for sale for the right amount of cash. It took me some weeks browsing the net for a 4-speed B body. I was at a point to check out a restored 68 RR 4-speed and prolly would have bought it.
Now I ended up with a 69 Charger which BTW I got 1500 knocked off (actually Chuck had). The seller was desperate we assume. But I think it was the right price for the car. Not a deal of a lifetime , not an overpriced 4-speed. I am happy! :2thumbs:

away and the younger takes over so the growing demand will be there for a while.

If you remember I got scammed buying a supposed to be -70 383 matching, restored and the whole kit. Car was a -73 400 with a lot of s**t.
Thing is, I advertised it here and the next day it was sold. It was an honest deal, all issues on the table but I got my money back.

I think $8500 is too much for that car in todays market.  A year ago I would've called it quite the bargain. I just sold a damn near perfect restored '69 GTX 4-speed non #s 440 for $25K.   And it wasn't green.  Try restoring one for that money,  or bringing back this Charger for less than that either.

AMD's catalog is steadily moving towards an entire reproduction 2nd-gen unibody.  That changes everything. 


The Charger situation may still be a "some assembly required" situation for years to come.  But right now you can already take the worst piece of sh*t you can find and make a repro Charger out of it.  Even a $600 hulk that breaks in half while you load it onto the trailer is theoretically becoming fixable now. 

It won't give us solid street driveable $3000 '69 Charger project cars again, but nothing else ever will either.  If you're being realistic (and not expecting to get a cruisable low-rust Charger for less than a 150,000-mile Toyota econobox costs), then a '68/69 car is steadily becoming a catalog deal.

Ghoste hit the nail on the head. I have two Chargers (68 & 69) I want to sell, but the market is so bad I don't even want to try. I have a Road Runner I paid 15K for when the market was good. Now I have it on Ebay for under 10K. I paid just under 20K for each Charger & would hate to see what they would bring now. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the miracle market turn around.

70,000 total units is a drop in the bucket compared to the quantites that GM put out.  Just as an example, there were 62,372 1970 Chevelle Super Sport cars built.  That's not including the non SS cars.  Total 1970 Chevelle 2 door coupe and convertible production was 323,522 units....5 times that of the 69 Charger production which includes the higher optioned R/T and base model cars.  Finding a decent Chevelle (SS or not) to restore is a chore in itself even with production totals in the hundreds of thousands.  When I was looking for a 69 Charger to do, it took me 5 years of looking to even find one that was restorable for sale.  The finished ones were far and few between and well out of what I could ever afford to pay for one which at the time was in the under $20K range.  I think the reason that so few of the 2nd generation Chargers are out there is due to the amount of them built compared to the population of the United States at the time they were new which was in the 150M range which if you do the math was 1 car per every 2300 people or so.  That along with the fact that alot were either wrecked, scrapped, crushed, junked, or parked and forgotten about because they were just plain old cars then, is why they are so scarce now.  Just my thoughts on it  :cheers:

How much difficulty does anyone have finding a Charger for sale for $35-50K?

How about $500?





We're not running out of Chargers.  Nothing even close. 

We just all want them in a certain range of prices/conditions.  And then the first thing we do when we get one is start working to move it out of that price/condition.  After several decades of this we're finally running out of these kinds of raw material cars.

I agree.  About the only place you can find those anymore are in very rural areas and/or defunct junkyards wanting to sell out before crushing everything (a rarity in itself).  Although sometimes the cheap charger pop up on ebay now and then, but you have to be lucky to be the high bidder.  Most owners know what they have anymore, so a cheap Charger will have issues reguardless on who is selling it.  As the market values start dropping, I look for the majority of car flippers to fall out of the marketplace, which can increase the odds of finding raw chargers again out in the wild.  But, so far that has not happened around here as some people still think that you can pick them up at pre-1980 prices and then sell them with 2006 prices.  (I was recently asked if there were any hemi cars or vettes for sale in the $1000 range lying around in my neck of the woods.  My reply was: only with the help of a time machine...)  People can still dream of eating the cake, I guess......

I agree, there are plenty of cars for sale...just not at the right price. The days of stealing one for under value are probably over since everyone who has one knows what they are worth. You have to look at other sources like Craig's list or even Hemmings to find cars before they end up on Ebay. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,51957.0.html

Hell, this 70 R/T with an asking price of $25K is a steal if it is for real. In reality, this is a $22K/$23K selling price for the car. Even if it is a clone, it's not that off on the price. Probably already on the way to the Texas Toy Store/Box or whatever those flippers are called.

When I bought mine in 05 It didn't matter what kind of 69 charger it was as long as it was a 69 charger. I got it off ebay. Drove clear to odessa texas to get her and brought it back to the buckeye and have been wrenching ever since. Paid $2500 + cost of the trip. I also bought a parts car in superior wisconsin. It was also an ebay car! You guys with all the rts and se ect they are nice, but you buy what you can afford and at my age I know for a fact I'll never be able to buy one that ws done right not at the price they are now. Maybe one when I'm done with college and ready to retire(yah right retire what does that mean?) Those who have more than one charger you are very lucky because there are guys like me who would do just about anything to get their hands on even one!!

Is the above site for real or is it a scam?? That is my problem anymore I'm affraid to bid on anything because I almost got burnt awhile back. The only time I do feel comfy bidding on a car is if I know it is a members car, but even them as I said before can't afford one that is already done!!

Mike DC

     

Buying a vintage car that you've never seen in person = Bad idea. 
 
Seller fraud laws are essentially non-existent in the old car field.  You can tell yourself that you've asked enough specific questions & gotten enough specific photos not to get burned, but there's no reason the seller couldn't just be flat-out lying & substituting photos.


If the seller conceals $5000 worth of extra damage, you manage to prove $2000 of it on paper, and the courts/lawyers bite another $1500 out of you in the process . . .  are you gonna be very satisfied in the end?

The site is a U.S. government website! Look into it, it's legit. You can find some decent deals there sometimes. The charger and other cars were seized by the U.S. marshalls and are from Hardcore. I have bought a few old trucks off of the site and never had a problem.

Stewart, if you don't mind me asking, what would one give for a car in that condition? Maybe a bit sweeter because you knew the owner pretty well, but really curious.
are you talking about the charger ? I wouldnt  know now in this econmy I bought it two years ago when they were higher . I really wanted it bad so I would imagine I over paid then . Now I'm really upside down in it . Clone R/T, automatic car.  I have over 5 grand in the motor with 2k of that being carbs and another 2500 in daytona cloning parts bought for it , with tons more to buy .

  I would image I would have to have 18-20k for it to break even now .  I hate to add up all the reciepts and  :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: my self

It looks like its sitting out on the back 40 of the junkyard?!?!   :icon_smile_big:

I know what you mean, been looking for a Charger for over a year. Chargers are not 'rare' because of the numbers made, they're 'rare' because guys that have them won't sell them, or because guys hoard them, or because they expect you to pay for the labour part of the restoration, which is usually $0/hr in the muscle car world. Been in this game a long time, since Dukes of Hazzard they have ALWAYS been hard to obtain, that's just the way it is. Not every Mopar nut loves Wing cars, or T/A's and AAR's, or Hemi cars or some of the other 'higher' value cars, but most every person that is living and/or breathing on this planet, Mopar or not, loves 2nd gen Chargers. They are simply appealing.

amen bro my 69 charger is just a 318 car but I wanted one so bad that I didn't care if it had a 6 cylinder in it.

I hear ya, just before I finally found my 69, I was actually searching for a 68 if it had a 4 spd.  Imagine that?  Buying a 68 over a 69.  :image_294343:

This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.
