need your opinon on value 68 383 4 speed

[sharpspike]

ive seen the prices's of all the lower production high dollar cars. ( hemis, 500's. daytonas, superbirds, six packs, etc.)

havenet seen a originall 68 383 4 speed  ( 259 production for 68 ) sold or value discussed anywhere.( im not including hlpag )

so my question. what would you place the value at.

[driller]

I just have no idea, but I think it's one beautiful ride. Friend had one when we were young, seems  I've seen 383 auto's in good shape go for 16000- 30000. But if a person finds the right buyer, who knows.

[Silver R/T]

I would offer 10K for that car

[bluesfool]

It would be nice to see some engine bay shots, along with some more interior and underneath. Without seeing what kind of condition all of those are in, and assuming everything is in reasonable (read that as NOT perfect and needing a fair amount of attention) condition, I'd say a fair price to be around 15-17K

[sharpspike]

these are the best pics i have right now, they were during the restoration. the underside is still rust proofed.

i guess i should have said i already own the car, not looking to buy. just wondering because of the low production of that combination ( 383 4 speed )what that did for the value of the car compared to other 68/69 combinations.

hey i got the pic resize right this time

Well, put back together at least $17500.

[BigBlockSam]

nice car!

That car is a SOLID 25k Car all day. (If you put 800-1200 of labor into it). Trav, you with me?  It possibly would go very close to 30 on eBay if it were closer to "car season"    People seem to want to buy more/pay better in the summer when they can actually drive the cars...   

Does that thing have A/C controls on the dash?   Interesting...  Non-A/C lower dash pads though...

I sold this one for a bunch when I was done putting her together:

Okay, after seeing the second set of pics, I'd have to increase my amount by about 5k

btw, nice car!

Closer to $30k for what I'm seeing. Does it need restored? I don't see anything wrong with it other than it's not put back together. Four speed cars add a lot of value.

[Drache]

Ok I'm reading a lot of posts saying that it would be worth this price put back together or so. From what I understand from reading what sharpspike is that the only pictures he had currently was when it was last restored.

So I'm understand the car has already been restored and it's all together....

actually it is put back together, i just didnt have any better pics of engine compartment or interior. this pic the car is complete. ( almost )

[bull]

If the body work and paint are new and good, no rust, no major issues mechanically, it's worth $30k-$40k right now. Three years ago it would have been $25k max.

[69charger2002]

yeah there's no doubt that car is worth 25k like jude said. finished. 30k would not be out of range whatsoever

I would have to agree with you guys,that car is already restored,and would be worth between 20-30 thousand. The problem with the in between Chargers like the 383 cars,is if you paid any more than that,then you are getting into the price range of 440 R/Ts,and most people would rather put their money there,to have return on there investment later on!

They'll still get a return. The R/Ts will start higher and end higher but I doubt the increase in value for either
will outpace the other.

Hi nice car,

I'm sure you know that a 68 383 or 440 car would have had turquoise not orange engine paint. Orange started in 69.

I like the pistol grip shifter too.

I would say $25-30K when finished.

[hemihead]

Wrong shifter.

[Silver R/T]

Id rather look at an R/T for that amount (25-30K)

i just couldnt get warm and fuzzy with the turquoise.

Wrong shifter.

the pistol grip made me warm and fuzzy. i still have the original hurst shifter.

[ck1]

Wrong shifter.

and engine color and wheels, but thats besides the point. its a nice car and is don't hurt the value that much if any, can easily be changed......

Hi. I got a 383 4speed but with a two barrel carb. My engine bay still needs to be painted and I could user floor pans. The rest is pretty much done. It's the original engine and if I had to sell it right now, I wouldn't take less than $20,000. Yours looks a lot better.

Mine is one of 74 but that doesn't really kick up the value. It's the 4 speed and big block that does.

[sharpspike]

very nice car john. i like that color.

[Blakcharger440]

That car looks to be 40K-50K large at least as is and not put back together. You should be able to get that any day of the week.

Really? I'm not questioning your judgement so much as wondering where you're getting your information. Neither car listed in this thread is an R/T and I know of some very nice ones in the last year that haven't been able to break $50k. I've got a couple of 383 cars waiting in the garage to restore if they ever start bringing that sort of cash. My opinion of course...

I'd say $40k is about as much as you'd ever get for it, and that would be difficult. Maybe on Barrett-Jackson on a good day if everything was correct. But $30k is reasonable. Maybe even $35k but no way it's worth $50k... yet.

Hey, I got one of those. Can you give us some more pictures and history? And welcome to the site!

  The guy that purchased mine liked the Novelty of '68 383 4-speed NUMBERS.  He had just sold a restored '68 HEMI Charger, and was looking for something with some rarity...  He said he never had HEMI car on market, just that someone saw it and Plunked down Cash...  So maybe part of the reason he paid what he did for mine was the rarity, and the pocket full of cash?  iono

I can't catch everything on here. That's Troy's job.

[Charger Aficionado]

  And what a fine job he does at it    

  Do you have a 4-speed '68 Troy?

Ummm no, but I have a 4-speed AND a 68 Charger that seem to like each other. Been trying to buy a local 383 HP 4-speed car since last year but it's a lot of work.

Troy

[sharpspike]

thanks for all the opinions gentlemen.

[chargervert]

You're very welcome Sharpspike, that is a really sweet Charger,I like the Gold!
