Whats on the dash below the guages?  Some sort of radio station tuner?  I've never seen that before.

Looks like a universal digital clock. Looks as if there are adjustment buttons

Here is next one,seems like a okay car,but i know that he had it for 2 weeks and his emailadress is chargerbuyer.

Difficult to say if it is a good car, you can see that he has repainted it black under the hood and i think i see one rusthole in the trunk corner under taillight.

[Belgium R/T -68]

After almost 40K spent and every free hour the last 4 four years I have always problems with ads selling Chargers for 20K where "everything is new"
and fully restored. With that I don't mean that this is a bad car just that everything is relative.

[Petri.]

I can buy this for 25000d,have to think a day or two.

$25,000 is his reserve price? Seems a bit high. Looks like a nice car but I would ask the seller to allow your agent (a DC.com member or someone else) to check it out before closing the deal.

Dan

[Petri.]

He wrote on ebay to me and said 25000d,that is not in the auction,when you buy it beside ebay,now he send me this email 2 hours later.

HELLO, JUST TALKED TO MY WIFE AND SHE SAID IF YOU ARE WILLING TO GIVE US $23,000.00 WE WILL ACCEPT IF YOU CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN FAIRLY SOON, AS WE COULD REALLY USE THE MONEY. THANKS, SCOTT

To me this doesnt sound great, i called him before these messages and asked for his email but he didnt want to give it to me because he wanted it to go on the auction.

Have someone look at the car. I can't say this enough. If it works out, great. Tell the seller that you want to see the car, via a proxy. Don't rush it.

Can only agree to what Dan is saying. I bought a -70 charger unseen because his wife also was involved and it sounded so very good, was that a POS car.

I'd be very weary of that car. 19k new everything yet there is rust in the trunk that has had black paint sprayed over it. Does not look like the bottom has been done underneath.

My guess its a 19k driver that probably needs to be taken down to bare metal and redone. Who knows whats hiding under there. With rust like that in the trunk you have to wonder.

[Petri.]

Ok, here is next one,ill copy what he have told me.

I have owned for for about 2 years and over the past 2 years I redid the interior, the dash, etc.  The previoius owner had it for a long time and only one owner before that and has always been garage kept, the reason why the body is so good.    All the gauges work (except the clock, but it's not hooked up) and a hot rod shop installed the motor.  Not really in a rush to sell it as I really enjoy the car but could use the money.  I attached some more shots of the trunk, window, etc.

Yes, there is a small rust patch on the rear lower panel by the wheel, I included a picture of it here.  There isn't much other rust but a few imperfection here and there.  Let me know if you need anything else.  The attached pics are on the driver side.

So what do you think about this car, if it is ok what would be a normal price for a car like this,he asked 29000d on craiglist but i think that is little to high, has a little rust,he wants me to give him an offer.

/Petri

[Petri.]

Hi, found a 68 that i am very interested about, if someone who lives near ambler in PA could check it out for me it would be very nice,i got pictures and videos of the car but when it is alot of money involved i wouldnt by a car without anybody checking it out, i want to know in what shape the body is under and of course everything else, it is this car.
We have come together about the price also.

[mikepmcs]

isn't it going to be an issue with inspection or acceptance over there with the engine modification?  didn't I see a post where someone said they had a problem or something because the car they brought over had been modified??

nice car though. how much does he want for that monster? does it have a hood?

[mikepmcs]

ok,saw the hood at the 1 minute 27 second mark in the background.

[Petri.]

The price is 27000d,is it a fair price, it is not a bigger problem to get it inspected here,have to remove the blower before inspection and put some small carburator on it and maby change to stock manifolds so that it looks more stock,it has a fuelcell in the trunk,have to throw that away and put a stock tank on it and maby take the small rollcage away,then it looks like it is pretty stock.

It will need a lot of work, needs a trunk pan and a headliner for starters,  and it looks rough to me, I would say it is a polished turd and for that price I would keep looking.
