5 Bucks for a chance to win a Charger!

Tom I think what you are doing is fantastic!  I hope you receive all 6600 entries and someone, even if it's not me gets to drive away in a dream car. You can expect to receive essays from me.

Well, it seems to be legit & I hope it works. I don't see this as being any worse than those raffles in Hemmings & online, where you send in $20 (or often more) to get a chance at winning a car...$5 is nothing...what, maybe 2.0 gallons of gas if you're lucky? I may even give it try myself.
Hopefully someone will be able to get a Charger for $5, and you'll make enough to make it worth your while.

I think you should change it to a fight club contest, last man standing. 

Im digging that blue charger, when looking to buy one i ran across several that had been re-painted but the door jams showed that baby blue, it looks great with that white top, im guessing white interior too? 

Hi Guys,

           Thank you for the nice words about my Charger. Yes, I am very much liking the blue myself. The thing is this, I always wanted an Orange or Black 68, when I found this charger I jumped on it. Its all original with matching #'s and build sheets from Arizona with no rust or rot. I loved the fact that it came stock with air conditioning and disc brakes. Simon (the past owner) really took good care of this car. He kept up with everything from completely rebuilding the motor to fixing the clock. He gave me a 2 page list of everything he has done to the car in the past two years. I was planning on finding a Charger restoring it and having it painted orange, I think my plans have changed. I think it would be a shame to pull this charger apart. I am sure it will need some paint but I think I am going to keep it its original color (might add a white strip on the tail)

            I did buy the car site unseen, Simon sent me very detailed pictures. If the car shows up in half the condition that he said it was in, I would still be very happy (I am sure it will be what he said it is) Simon is such a pleasure to do business with. I was a little nervous sending $14000 to somebody I didn't know, but after speaking to him and his wife on the phone I knew everything was going to be OK. Sometimes you just have to trust people  .

to be legal there has to be some kind of outside third party monitoring it, plus he will have to pay taxes on it also since its not a tax exempt charity and he has to provide a winners list with name and address so at the end of the auction it can be verified that he did give it away, as of now there is no oversight.  whether he is honest or not isn't the issue, he can just say that he received enough entries and write some bogus letter every week himself OR even post some that he receives.  It would be an easy way to make $30 grand for yourself.  maybe i'm just pessimistic.................

been there, done that, got screwed over $100, let along a pot of $30 grand

[Finn]

Man I would never buy a car site unseen but Ive got my fingers crossed for you .

[mike r]

        Hi Finn,

                  Yes, I know what you mean. He did send me some very detailed pictures, I know that doesnt mean much. Simon seems to be a very honest guy, I am sure everything will be as good as he said it was.

          But, if you dont mind, please keep your fingers crossed, I do appreciate it   

          I will be sure to keep you all posted

The pic was good + it shows you have a sense or humor

My sister won a trip to Africa on a essay contest. And actually went.

Did she ever come back?



Anyway, I'm confused why a picture of a guy in a storage shed with the car and a basketball legitimizes anything? I'm not saying the contest is legit or it isn't, I'm just saying a picture of some dude with a basketball does nothing to sway my opinion either way. This whole thread seems staged to me. Some guy comes here asking questions about a website, Cody is all-too happy to post the link, and then the owner shows up to seal the deal in te site's most popular section. It seems similar to when someone posts a WIW thread and then says oh, BTW, I'm selling the car if anyone's interested.

it's just in reference to the post that asked him to do it, It was funny.  

don't get me wrong, I don't write an essay for anyone LOL, but it showed me the guy has a good sense of humor and made me chuckle.

*EDIT* ohh and besides, after doing a reverse lookup of the domain It gave all his information, a good scammer wouldn't let that happen

Yea, I guess Bull didn't read but rather skip down through.  so thats why he didn't know about that part. Because if he would have red it he would have known it before he mention anything about it   

I got a chuckle out of the photo also.

Well, sorry. This might be a shocker but I've got better things to do than read every word of every post on this site.

Okay, before this thread almost gets derailed which it won't. I just want to say this, if you have better things to do, then why are you in this thread reading the stuff for if you don't belive in it or of you got better things to do. 

As for me, I don't know the guy, but what he wants to do, to me is really a real good idea. Someone will end up with a nice charger.

I looked up the domain info as well. Seems to check out but I have to admit, to me this smells fishy. 

[68X426]

Fishy? It's a Charger, not a Cuda. 

Seriously, it's just five bucks. I don't see an injustice, I see cleverness. With willing participants, or not.

Consider a famous scene in Lonesome Dove. It goes something like this:

Gus comically uses the false Latin phrase "Uva Uvam Vivendo Varia Fit". Call asks "What if it's an invitation to rob you?" and Gus replies, "If any man can read that, he's welcome to." "I just once want a chance to shot at an educated man".

Sending $5 to find out the end of this story is OK with me.

Is there some sort of "rule" in place to prevent someone that the "seller" knows, from  winning?   Otherwise I see how something this could be done, legally by Nigerian Scam artist!  Just take entries from anyone that wants to pay the entry, then pick an entry that belongs to someone they know and, boom you got cash and buddy has the car!

DISCLAIMER...... .....I am not saying that is what is going on in this case. Just wondering if there are rules in place to prevent something like that from happening!

Hey guys, just wanted to thank everyone for the support and address some more questions.... There IS a rule that I won't give the car to my wife or friends... that's why I only have 1 essay so far!  Also, I think having a 3rd party pick the winner is a great idea...  I just need to find someone to do it (like the editor of hot rod or Mopar Muscle, something along those lines.)   I'm just going to keep advertising and see if people are into it.  I'm also going to hit the car shows next week and see how that goes.  I'm really trying to be open and not "fishy"... I just think that this could make some good cash AND really make someone else real happy.... just trying to have some fun with it....BTW, I bought my car in '98 the same way Mike R. did... I bought it from a guy in Minnesota.  I saw pics and video, talked with the guy and then sent him the cash and I got the car a few days later!  Maybe we are just dumb....
