The eBay $5,000 69 Charger deal...............................................

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

Wait so the seller bought it for 12k and sold for 5k 3 days later?

Ouch!

Did you get a title, free and clear 

[skip68]

Yes.

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

Yes.

Cool! I was envisioning some story about the title lost, or sold on a BOS, only.

Good deal, again! 

[nvrbdn]

why would anyone buy a car and then sell it for less than half in 3 days? must have had a huge change of heart.

I notice the interior console lights are working.

[skip68]

Why yes they do Wade.    The bulbs were the wrong kind and caused the shorts.    Tires and wheels are on and new trunk lid an now she's ready for body & paint.

What size are those old wheels? Are you doing anything with them?

Looking good on my old car and yes that was strange that the guy sells this car for $5000 when he paid me $12000 for it. Oh well nice to see its getting taking care of. I had this car since I was 16 and also have another one that is now the General Lee. I could never get the time to get to work on this car like I wanted and I hated seeing it just sit there. Keep me posted.

Thanks
Johnny

Hey

Hope your going to toss the incorrect pushbar over your left shoulder ,  this would be a good Charger for kikgas01 shane .
6 pages on this charger , i thought you must have got a 500 or Daytona ,for the amount of interest .

K.c

Hey Johnny, welcome to the site.       It was great taking to yo yesterday and thanks for all the info.  Chuck.

Far as six pages, it's pretty common to have lots of pages when a car is purchased at a really low price (steal IMO) and the new owner post as they fix it up or as they find things about the car.  That why it's a thread in Charger discussion on a Charger site about a Charger.   I apologize for this thread being tooooooooo long but I'm not done and it's MY thread.        Chuck ........

[nvrbdn]

definately alot of interest in this car. it was a great find and will probably tripple this amount of pages easy. i for one am enjoying how this is turning out. keep the posts coming chuck.

 for 5000 thats an awesome deal ,   for 10000 that would still be an awesome deal  

ready for body & paint ?? whats the plan ? , unless i've missed that bit  

[skip68]

As of now Wade's going to have his body paint guy fix the lower quarters and paint it Hemi orange.   Possibly have the GENERAL LEE graphics (01, text, and flag) air brushed on.    Today we are going to check gear oil in the rear end,, tie the battery down and see just how quick this car is now that the rear tires are fat and should help with traction.   This car wants to go sideways with just 1/3 throttle.    After paint I would guesstimate this car being in the $18k to $19k range.   The AC doesn't work but is all there nor does the heater.  Then again, it's not a $30,000 car,  just a driver as you fix it.    FAST DRIVER.

sounds good ,  lower quarters thats no biggie ,  it does look straight from pictures !
 a/c & heater no work  , can be fixed or removed as & when ! not much of a biggie either  especially as you say all the parts are there !!
goes side ways    wonder what rear end gears are in it ??
keep the pictures & up dates coming Chuckie

Why Hemi Orange vs. Corvette Flame Red?

3:91 Sure grip

Hemi orange is just fine for a GL.   I did mine Hugger orange and I thought it was perfect.  I guess it's just preference as to what shade of orange you want.    This way the car can be converted to a General Lee or left as a Hemi orange Charger.    So you see the car can go both ways just like Wade does.

I think I saw your old car while heading into Pahrump last year, or year before...  Looked good, for sure!!! 

[skip68]

That would be mine.  It was the only one in town.    Thanks.   

[Johnbad]

The rear end is a 3:91 posi. Hold onto your shorts when you let that motor go. Its a defininate neck breaker..LOL

[TUFCAT]

Most people ignore the power potential of the good ol' 383!!  Its a great motor that will deliver impressive horsepower and torque (when built right). 

[kikgas01]

Why is it, I have a strange filling.. before long I am going to be removing a friend off my friend list  

Why??
K.c., thanks for thinking of me. I really appreciate that.
