And originally owned by the lowlife who named himself fastgnrl, Telvis could fill you in on that one  :D
That was the first car I saw a few years ago when I started hunting for one, glad I never bought it since the owner is a huge scamartist.
As long as it isn't registered to a Joe WIlkins anymore it's fine.
I had a few pics of it, it's not too bad if I recall.

I would like to buy this car myself.  I donot believe that it is an R/T.  They have seen pics before i even told you guys about it.  My dad thinks that is not worth more than $1500 with every thing included.  I want this car but another problem i have is getting it home.

Do you have a truck?  or does your Dad?  Go to U-Haul and rent a car trailer and pull it home.

Where are you and where is the car?

Do you have garage space at your parents house or will you be parking this car on the street?

Do you have a job?

no offence, but if thats the knowledge you father has on these cars, You my friend, have a lost cause.

Forget it, Save the money yourself, and go at it alone.

I wish I could give you a huge insightful post, But being a parent I know. If you can't get up the money for the car itself, you won't have the money to repair it.

Do you know your Track coach T. Anders?  I used to run Track with him at Stout... (i was a steeplechaser)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------(formerly miked style  :icon_smile_big:)

Anyways, back to the subject.  I would suggest you look out west to buy a car that is rust free or near rust free.  and it seems Cali cars are better off than east coast cars...  I'll go find some for you... hold on..

1) You need your own money
2) Chances are you will need your own place\storage
3) SAVE...SAVE....SAVE that $$

4) Get to know the members here, if your genuine some guys will help you out. If your a HLPAG spy your fertilizer for the corn.

HLPAG is a rip off.  I was looking a car on ebay that they were selling and i emailed him for pics and then he told me this car was worth $3000 or more.  as far as i know he still has it.  there was no trunk left, quaters were shot, bumper rusted through, no interior, tranny, and a motor that was missing it heads, all sorts of dents, a few you could now look through, and I think it did not have any glass except the wind shield which was not pretty.

I found a '70 charger in IL for $8500 but was told when i sent him a message i could have it for $7500.  it runs and drives, brakes need some work, is missing on a headliner and the rocker pannel on pass. side is rusted.  What do you guys think of this one compared to the '69.     Pics coming today if he has sent them.

So the guy in Payson said the car runs, did you ask if its roadworthy to drive it home?  He's 526 miles from you, you can do that in a weekend.  Get up real early Sat morning leave at 3:00am, get down there with your dad by 11:00am, buy the car, and drive it home by 8:00pm.  or trailer it home on a u-haul tow dolly...

Yes it is roadworthy, not real nice but could drive it home.  I am not sure how to pay for it, might have to work it out with my parents.  Is there anyone down there that could help me?

Help you with what?  Financing?  If your a teen and you dont have the cash up front the first and only place to get money is with your parents co-signing on a loan for you.  Muscle car loans are around 10%.

To help you with an idea of payments:  If you borrow $7000 for 2 years at 10% that's $323 a month.  $7000 over 3 years is $226 a month.  But keep in mind that the car has to appraise for this $7000 or greater.  You should be able to find a job making $56.50 a week.  But now we're back to you parents letting you do all this. .  which, we cant help with, all that much.  You're on your own...

When I was a teen I had a lust for guitars. Nice ones. My parents wouldn't loan me a dime for them. I flipped them off and busted my ass to earn money any way I could. Mowing lawns, working under the table cleaning a veterenary hospital, whatever it took, if it paid I did it and bought what I wanted. Looking back that was perhaps my first steps to autonomy. There comes a time when when you want something bad enough, you have to take control of the situation and make it happen on your own.

If you are that bad off with your parents and have no income for a loan I really think you are stuck for now. It will probably be in your best interest to find a car your parents will agree on and eventually work your way up to a Charger. I can tell you that a Charger is not a good everyday driver in Wisconsin becasue the winters will just tear it up so you will need something else to drive anyway.
