Just because you don't want to buy the project and start trying to restore it yourself, that does not mean it's worthless.

I don't know that I feel it's worthless, I'm just answering the question as Vainglory is, I wouldn't pay anything for it.  Hmm, I suppose that means that to me it is worthless. :shruggy:

I think if I were trying to unload a project like that I would at least invest in a couple of rattle cans of primer before taking pics to try and get it looking consistent.

:smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:

Um, then there'd be those who critique it for being "Not worth $2500.00 because you don't know what's "Hiding" under all that primer"....

" I have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours researching what works and what doesn't and I'm willing to share"

It still has the 68 hood on it. Wonder if someone was planning a Daytona clone? The back end is super rusty though - and I'm no longer planning on working on anything that needs that much metal replacement. I'd still bet it's worth more than $1,000 (but probably less than $2,500). It will take a HUGE amount of work to be decent.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

This wreck can also be restored if one were to put enough time & money into it. But why would one want to? 

It's the same difference.

1.  Most of the cars that have been restored in this hobby were money-losing operations compared to just buying a restored car.  And yet whenever I find a guy selling an imperfect Charger, for some reason he still expects me to pay him money for it.


2.  There is such a thing as a parts-car.  Complete doors, solid subframes, etc . . . all worth money.  You may not be able to unbolt $1000 worth of little hardware from that car, but you could probably take off major pieces & hack it up for a fair amount. 


3.  That thing could not only be a parts-car, it could also be used as a "part" for some other car with a more rusty chassis.  Fixing that chassis is only a bad deal if you can find a better one for that money elsewhere.  You may not be able to.

Cause instead of exclaiming how there are "No Good Charger's left" they'd simply invest their "Brick" (Pun intended), of money into that car and build their "Good Charger"....
