Only overpriced by 7k.  ::)
Nicely stored outside. Probably rotten framerails.

Typically (over)priced Canadian Charger. Guys in Canada here don't really understand how much it costs to actually restore a car...

thats anywhere . there is another thread about cars & parts dropping in price . as i said it is just the opposite atleast here in pittsburgh on the CL everyone and thier brother is still living in 2005-2007 im not saying people should give stuff away although it would be nice  :lol: but if your going to sell something research the going market value .
i think alot of these people go by what their dumb ass friend tells them or what they see cars going for on BJ auction .

im looking for a 68-74 rr for my daughters boyfriend and let me tell you here in pittsburgh people are way out of line on most of their prices . ill call them and ask if the price is firm for what the are asking and thier reply is " DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS CAR WORTH ? "  :brickwall: $7500.00 for a complete basket case 318 column shift bench seat rusted out 1/4s needing a total resto . yep i know what its worth ! way less than what you want ! CLICK !

I watched a 1971 318 Barracuda convertible rot to nothing in the grass/mud because the owner watched too much BJ and watched the prices hemi cuda ragtops were fetching. He kept holding out for his retirement money and the elements reclaimed the car.

We get screwed on customs charges and companies that won't ship to Canada so we have to buy some parts we need from companies here for high mark up. :rotz:

It's a bit annoying living up here. Our parts cost almost double with the shipping and tax hassles we go through. Shop rates are almost double of US shop rates and it's hard to sell a finished car here because a lot of buyers won't look because of the location.
On the other hand I think Canadian Mopar guys are more hard core than US guys due to these challenges. I seen that car about 6 years ago, it was worth almost $10k then but it looks like it's been left for dead now. I'd say it's probably a $5k car.
