found lot of mopars, lookin for value guide..

[austinpalibroda]

i recently found a guy who has 17 mopars for sale!!! everything from barracudas to roadrunners, satellites, chargers, dusters, challengers and a few convertibles...the whole lot for $20,000 canadian! i can hardly believe it, but i seen pics of the cars, talked to the guy, and i must get ahold of them. i was just wondering where i could find a guide to the value of muscle cars in different conditions because i may have to take a loan out to do this. any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

The current issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines (June 2006) has a Mopar Price Guide in it with more than 600 cars.

[austinpalibroda]

great, thanks i'll try and pick one up soon!

20k for 17 Mopars is a good deal, even if they are all just no more than parts cars.

[mikepmcs]

here's a rough guide to go by in the meantime

[austinpalibroda]

thanks guys,

yeah it seems like an unreal deal to me...some of the cars are real rough, but theres a few that arent that bad...plus there are 2 or 3 convertibles, a barracuda and coronet and somethin else i think. the parts alone off all those cars would cover the expense of buying them. i'm not sure what will happen yet, if i dont end up with them, i'll let you guys know who it is 

[Brock Samson]

well the convert bacaruda is prolly worth 20 K by itself... regardless of condition.. pics man pics! 

[austinpalibroda]

haha i might be able to post a couple pics, i'll see what i can do

[Brock Samson]

if the guys a mopar guy,.. and there's evidence of collectable convertables,.. the cars may be R/Ts and High Performance stuff,.. do you know how to spot them?.. get the tags decoded and stuff like that?..

[The Ghoul]

STOP TALKING AND BUY!!!
If you sit on this for much longer some one will get it out from under you *just as soon as I figgure out where *

[Chargerguy74]

I found the same deal a while ago. austinpalibroda I sent you a pm

[austinpalibroda]

yes, i understand its a now or never deal. if it was as easy as writing a cheque to the guy, it would have been done by now. i'm workin on it, just gotta see what i can do i guess. i definately know what to look for in cars, i'm goin to check them out next weekend,

Makesure you have the right paper work for all the vehicles.................................remember the saying; "if it sounds like it's to good to be true, it probably is'nt" for some reason I think this "deal" has a wrinkle and/or catch to it - ya think?.    Good luck and keep us posted.

[austinpalibroda]

well it sounds good, and i think its legit. i talked to him, hes keeping a few cars.  sounds like he knows what he has but just wants to get rid of some of them. maybe hes not interested in them or something, who knows. its about a 12 hour drive from here, i'm possibly going to check them out next weekend.

[Brock Samson]

so is there a listing of the individual vehicles or what?..
now he wants to keep some eh?.. 

[austinpalibroda]

he gave me a list of what goes with the whole lot. i meant he has more than just the 17 hes selling. he has some other ones not listed that hes keeping is what i meant. i need to get a more detailed list of whats there yet. i just found out yesterday i havent had too much time to deal with all this! well i'll let ya'll know what happens

Someone finds a potential deal, asks some questions and you go and "out" how to find the cars? Not cool.

[austinpalibroda]

thanks headrope, its not that big of a deal i know, but i know i wont have a chance if everyone knows about them. its ok though, i probly wont be able to get them so someone else might as well. i was gonna post the info once i was sure i couldnt get them. its all good though, good luck guys.

The exact reason why I chose to pm him instead of blurting everything out on the thread.

You should still go for it.

[austinpalibroda]

yeah i'm still workin on it yet. i talked to a buddy of mine last night and hes working in alberta right now by edmonton.  we figured on getting a couple guys together to buy the lot.  only hard thing would be dividing the cars between us so who knows what we'll do.  the guy absolutely wont sell anything single, just the whole lot we both tried talking to him bout it.  it would be nice to get those cars out, its a shame to see them sit. i'd rather just get one or two and sell the rest or make deals with other people just to get some of those cars back on the road. anyways i'll keep it posted, i'm going to edmonton this weekend and maybe peace river to check it out.
