Just 6T9 CHGR · February 23, 2011, 06:46:33 PM

Lizey · February 23, 2011, 07:06:55 PM

apparently it was a friend of my uncles that just didnt want the car anymore, and he owed my uncle a favor so he just let him have the car for whatever he could come up with. he (allegedly) has a real '69 Yenko Camaro and a Cutlass W-30 along with some just average 60s-70s cars also.

KWS · February 23, 2011, 07:09:57 PM

Charger-Bodie · February 23, 2011, 07:14:27 PM

It would be cool to be able to say he sold it to Kenny Wayne Sheperd though.

1969chargerrtse · February 23, 2011, 07:15:02 PM

Wow. It happens. I remember a restored 64 GTO conv. Back in the day it was worth at least 10,000.00. One day my buddie calls me to come see his new toy. There it was.

OMG What did you pay for it? 2,500.00. The father of the son just wanted it gone. It happens.

Lizey · February 23, 2011, 07:39:51 PM

yeah Escanaba, Michigan thats where im from! someone around here seriously had a Hemi 500? theres 2 Superbirds and a '69 Hemi Charger but ive never heard of a Daytona or a 500 around here!!!

Yep - Bought them from Fred McNally - He used to own McNally Motors AMC during the 70's.

He had the 6BBL Black Superbird that was originally orange as well and a 67 GTX.

FastbackJon · February 23, 2011, 08:01:15 PM

Great deal!

Though numbers matching.... and it has a black engine bay and the wrong air cleaner....valve covers changed. I'm thinking the motor has at least been out of the car.

Lizey · February 23, 2011, 08:04:17 PM

literally all the history we know on the car ive allready posted on here so your guess is as good as mine haha

Out of couriosity, what would that car be worth in reality on the retail market in its current condition? Maybe 18-22k?

obviously it has some "Issues" intill they were taken into account and listed a true or even approx. value is difficult.

so day two has set in...
the car needs a total restoration!!
basically the only things that dont need to be adressed are the brakes and the interior...everything else on the car needs some kind of something.
still, for that price hes at one hell of a starting point!

and no, not the same uncle. smart ass.

Lizey · February 24, 2011, 07:41:30 PM

you all can see the pictures, you can all tell it sure as hell isnt a perfect car
the trunk floor is rotted out
the motor burns oil
none of the guages work
etc. etc.

it seemed like a hell of a car til i saw it in person, but still..
for that price he got a good starting point.

i dont see why smartasses have to start going on about how this is "bullshit"
no, i dont keep track of every financial transaction my uncle makes but i have no reason to think he's lying

and yeah, so ive had a lot of things not turn out like they were supposed to like the Hemi thing. but i went off half cocked before getting all the details stop ramming that down my throat. im 17 years old when the word "Hemi" gets mentioned i get a little excited!

my christ, this sight has been a great help for me so far but get off my ass! and hey, you want to drive my 251,000 mile truck down to Techumpseh from here you be my guest. 11mph highway have fun!

1969chargerrtse · February 24, 2011, 07:53:15 PM

If it has an original 440 then it's an R/T. Not an original B5 car then...

Would there really be someone on this planet that is trying to make other people believe a story about a car that isn't true? Whats the benefit in that?

I know about telling lies to your bank director about your wages to get a loan

but there's a posible benefit in that story........

skip68 · February 25, 2011, 10:14:16 AM

You guys check this out.... THIS IS A TRUE STORY !. My brother in Tenn. sent me a text last monday that he was going to get an original 69 Daytona that was in a barn for 30+ years. He only was going to pay $1,500 for it and it's rust free. The bad thing was, the car WAS NOT COMPLETE. The owner said it was but when my brother got there and looked the car over he was pissed. As soon as the guy pulled the tarp off the car, my brother saw it WAS NOT COMPLETE AT ALL. It was missing the rear view mirror, horn button, dome lite cover, two spark plugs and no radio. So, my brother said no way and left. That is a true "STORY".

nvrbdn · February 25, 2011, 10:20:15 AM

ok, but if the missing plugs were still connected to the engine, and the radio that is missing was still connected to the dash, horn button still connected to the steering column and dome light cover still connected to the roof. mabey your brother made a good choice

Have you ever tried to locate a dome light cover? Its a nightmare.

Vainglory, Esq. · February 25, 2011, 03:23:15 PM

Really? I have a dome light cover, and it isn't being used because the roll bar goes where it would otherwise be.

Maybe I should sell it for thousands on eBay?

Brock Samson · February 25, 2011, 03:24:34 PM

To answer Lizzys question on actual value, the car would be worth around $8,000.

Yeah, If I remember right the car was snowed in at "The Cottage" and he couldn't get to it until spring.

That was years ago... still nothing.

I guess that makes it history's longest winter

Yup, blame it on Global warming

As far as I know maybe this Uncle did tell Lizzy he bought the Charger for $ 2500.00
We will probably never know I'm not gonna go as far as to call him a Liar but, as they say "If it's too good to be True...
It probably is"

if it is True then what a Score! but it just doesn't add up to me...

nvrbdn · February 26, 2011, 05:47:09 PM

well, i will probably be the next one cuz a friend called me up a couple months ago offering me a 72 charger complete with lots of extra parts including a bubble hood motor,trans, all the goodies. all for 1000.00 asking price. plus his wife said i could probably get it even cheaper, but please dont rip him off too bad. but i dont have the car yet. every body has been too busy to finish the deal. now dont throw stuff at me yet.

mikesbbody · February 26, 2011, 05:51:20 PM
