1968 in AK and 69 in Il

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Rather than flipping from one ebay add to the other, I did a little photoshopping. Below is a picture of both roaches side by side. As you can plainly see, there really isn't much difference between them.

Pass on both.

I agree with that.

It sounds like you want a drivable-but-rusty '69 right now, and a more solid long term project '68 later.  I think you should split up the two cars.  Buy the one for your dad now and swap it for the one you want later on. 


Just be careful and don't get too attached to the rusty '69 you cruise with him now, and end up trying to restore it long after he's gone.  It won't be his original '69 and it won't be what is best for you either, keep that straight in your mind.  It's just best for right now.

Columbus, Ohio...

If that doesn't work for you, maybe there's a large Mopar show in your area, Or just throw some steaks on the grill and invite all the dodgecharger.com crew from your area over to eat and go cruising...

We're huge...

We're everywhere...


Some of us are not of this Earth...

 

Both of those ideas are spot on Daytona R/T SE

you have to remember alot of these board members are picking as hell when it comes to buying a car, but heres the kicker they are not picky as hell when they sell their car to a fellow member. In the end get a car you want that you truely want and if the cash is right for you vs how it looks then get it becasue board members will always pursaude you NOT to buy one and call it a 'polish turd' on all of theme except for their own cars.

Had way too many board members PM me their car and tell me YES it has rust and YES it has holes and YES guages DONT work at all among other things and then say, '20k' for their price. Then I post a car where its opposite of their cars and they tell me' polish turd' when it was a better car than their own. Alot of board members will tell you to buy their car for a premium, but dont buy other peoples cars at all.....Even when its a good deal they will say NOT to buy it, but then you find out 3 months later they bought the car that you shared on the forum when they said NOT to buy it 

so get a car that you want with a fair price you are willing to pay. BakerPhillip is a honest seller/buyer on here you could PM alot of info he will share with you.

I would narrow down my search by deciding exactly which year and model you really want.  While the two are both second generation Chargers, each offers something different.   Many of us like the grille and or taillights on one year better than the other.  Do you favor one style over the other?  If not, then I would be looking at what options each have and what mod's (if any) have been done to each.    Just my two cents.....bottom-line, it's your two cents that really matters since you will be the one having to live with the decision.     

So basically the situation is a follows. I'm running out of time with my dad. His last surgery took a lot out of him, and I think I'm on borrowed time. His diagnosis didn't leave much for the imagination as it was, and for him to still be here is a miracle in and of itself. Which model do I want....don't truly care. I PERSONALLY like the 68. HE HAD a 69. That's where I'm at. I'm searching for one that he can drive. I don't want a rust bucket, because I don't see myself in the future having 10k to fix it. I know it can't be perfect, and I know I have to at some point take what I can get. I need a driver. Something he can enjoy while he still can. It doens't have to be a numbers matching, fender tag included, with a build sheet. He wouldn't know the difference. It's a matter of giving him the car he had to bring back memories when times were a little better then they are now. I came here becuase I wanted your guys opinions becuase I know you all know WAY more then me. And I'm learning, but the curve is slow becuase of all the OTHER things I do on a regular basis. I appreciate all the help you've all been able to give good or bad. You've saved me on a bunch of "polished turds" as Mytur Binsdirti put it . And I do appreciate that. I know if Im patient that I'll be able to find a good one, but patience, and time are not something that I have a lot of at this point. So my search will continue, and I'll do the best that I can not to bug you all a ton....but now and then I'll pry post something and get a few opinions, and go from there! So to all for helping, and giving opinions thanks, and hey, if ya know of one for sale that is a good ride...68 or 69....let me know. I've gathered a couple more dollars, and could push to 24k for the right car! Thanks again guys (and gals)
