Pretty cool, got calls from Sweden and Australia today.  Most people want to wait until it's over and then work something out.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Rob, been a round or two with 'ya in the past, but from what I have went through on Ebay with my own "so-so" car, Sounds ALOT like "Buyer remorse" to me....That being said, ask what you want for it and the hell with the "Wannabees". They are all alike. Think these cars are on every street corner like it's 1970 again.


Had one guy look at my car in person. I stated everything about the car as I built the damn thing and he agreed for the price, he couldn't find another that appeared to look as good. until it came time to buy the car. Then, out comes the little snide remarks about this and that. Buyers remorse is the term I used to his face. He looked shocked that I'd call him out, but I simply told him I understand. You told a couple buddies to look at the car and from the pics they musta told you it "was a "Roach" at that price and you could certainly do better" Right? And now it comes to the money and you don't want to pay out knowing your buddies are gonna think you are some kinda "fool" for paying what they term as "too much" for a "Roach" of a car Correct?

He just looked down at the ground. I knew right then...
Twas only then, I asked him just make sure the next time one of your "buddies" that has the "perfection" car and "Only" paid "X" amount for it, you point out all of it's flaws and tell them how much of a "Fool" they were.  

Sure, who wouldn't want to buy a car for a cheap price that Even Galen Govier himself couldn't complain about, but it simply isn't gonna happen. People think that Money is perfection and if they spend one dime of their perfection, they need fifty dimes of perfection in return....I tell 'em, good luck with that...

What pisses me off the worst is I'll see these types here at a local show with their "New Perfectionist" ride and it looks like sh*t from jumpstreet. I ask them, "Damn man, mine looked alot better than this heap!" and walk away.

Well crap. I agree with Cooter.

I'm going to sign off for tonight, and possibly hit the sauce...

Yeah it started June 11th, and then we have to go through those that passed to the one that bought it, and move on to " I'm heading out to see the TA! " etc ......

GO SELL CRAZY SOMEWHERE ELSE WE ARE ALL STOCKED UP HERE

1969chargerrtse

It ain't over yet.
I have emails asking how can we meet on a price, and that's o.k but I have a guy flying in at the agreed 35, so I hope that works out?  I hate making others wait.  Selling is not fun.

Here's the dilemma with your car: Purists won't want it, mainly because of the color change & no fender tag, so now you're left to appeal to those who don't care abut originality. However, the people who are looking at a car like that generally don't care if it's a real R/T (there was a recent thread about it) and very few of those folks don't have the 35 grand to scrape up all at once......although, many of the roaches I see being restored here will eat up 35 grand like nothing. And we all know that it's easier to spend 35 grand a little at a time than all at once.  Not trying to insult anyone here, but that's what I see reading in reading this forum.

My advice; bring it to Carlisle next weekend, throw it in the car corral with a for sale sign on it, and take what ever you can get over 32 grand.   :Twocents:

Edit:  I just saw that you posted ahead of me. Still bring it to Carlisle next weekend!

Heres the thing. I would like to sell but I don't have to. So I'm gonna follow up on the 35k offer,  if that falls through I'll contact the few emails I have , maybe CL and maybe try cars on line. I'm just to busy family wise to do anything otherwise.  
If it doesn't sell right now that's ok.
They do care about the real R/T SE issue. That has been asked everytime. If it was'nt a real R/T I wouldn't of been offered 37k last time or the 35 k this time, or gotten to 32k this time on eBay.  I also wouldn't be asking 35k if it was a standard base Charger no matter what I had in it.   :Twocents:

I think he meant the purist will care and the then the regular 'joe' will not care if its real RT or not. You may have been offered the car at 37k, but does not they had 37k to give you. Kinda like the ebay thing the auction may have ended with a high bidder, but does not mean he will come through with the cash. I can offer you right now 40k, but then back out right before the deal and then you can tell other folks, 'well I was offered 40k for this car X amount days ago'

your car is worth more to you than anyone can offer you I say. YOu spent a lot of time with it and you will never get it back that adds sentimental value to it that cash cant give you unless someone just had cash burning in his pants or something  ;D

YOu have the right attitude no rush to sell it I say unless you get what you want for it with cash in hand, but thats far and few folks who would have 30k plus in hand.

Your car looks nice in the pics and I'll give benefit of the doubt and say it is. However, the points above are spot-on.  Sure, it is a real R/T SE, but no pedigree, no paperwork, etc. With the color change and NOM, you have limited your audience further.

Bottom line though, an "offer" isn't the same as being paid... :Twocents:

I rarely sell a vehicle, but when I do, there is not drama like there has been portrayed in this thread. Last car I sold, was on ebay and had people "fighting" over who would be the high bidder. Perfect! :scratchchin:

Anyways, good luck with the sale. Honestly, for all the "wanted" ads on this site and others, I would have thought your car would have been sold by now  :Twocents:

1969chargerrtse

The guy that offered the 37k was legit. He passed on my car. The 35k guy just texted me he's checking flights. Let's hope. He can flex on body issues but wants a good driver. That is my car 100%. If he passes I'll be shocked.

Ya got that right. Outside of the opinion drama many pages back. I think things are normal. First guy passed but had the funds, some others are coming to check it out.  Sounds average to me in the exciting world of selling an expensive classic in a bad economy.

My guy is flying in thurs eve. I'll know the outcome then. The guy from Sweden called and his buyer is still interested. We'll know thurs eve. Until then.  :nixon:

Talk is cheap.

I'm not real experienced with buying and selling but it seems to me alot of people look like they got money when really all they got is CREDIT.  For the most of us, in my world at least, it takes steady savings and goal setting to get what you want.  Alot of guys will talk shit because they have the image to maintain and arent' really thinking because they got themselves fooled too.  Then when they crunch some numbers, or more likely talk to their wives, they realize that they can't pull it off.

I remember a story a friend told me back in college.  His dad was trying to choose between 3 new vehicles.  A montanna van, a bonneville, or a caddy.  What do these 3 have in common?  Very little to the casual observer.  It comes down to this.  Your either the type to buy a Caddy or your NOT!  Or the type to buy a Charger or not!
