when ,where & who did you sell your 1st charger too

[Ghoste]

you know that selling your Charger will bring you years of regret and bad luck, along with flat feet.

Don't do it, you'll never get it back... or will I.

Your better off just to keep it.

Not to mention plagues of locusts, climate change and global economic collapse.  Trust us, you don't want all of that stuff on your conscience.

True that ! After 12 years of ownig my beater LEE, I had a moment of stupidity & traded it for (what I thought was) a nicer car a couple of years ago. I have regretted it every single day since it left. Worst part is it went to someone less than 5 miles from me & he absolutelty will not sell it back ! Its in the same shape it was in when I had it. It makes me sick everytime I see it now. I wish I would have never have caved in went through with the whole deal ( I tried to back out of the deal originally).

Going to college, got married, had a kid and gas prices soared to 32 cents per gallon.  So, in 1971, I traded my 68 R/T for a 1968 Chevy Malibu with a 307 in it so we could afford the gas and insurance.  I had to give my Charger plus $400 to the used car lot to take the Charger for the Malibu.  I was lucky, while I was dealing with the salesman, a guy I knew with a yellow 1968 Charger R/T, 4-speed pulled into the lot wanting to trade his Charger for the Malibu.  Beat him to it!!

Gave my '72 se to my best friend who promised to build it or give it back if he didn't back in 1988 (he had a place to store it). I called him five years ago to get it back, he had hauled it to a junkyard. I knew the guy that owned the yard,  I called him and it had been crushed.

I still have my first one and look forward to driving it as much as I can.

Your "best friend", what a douche.

Well, we kinda lost touch after I moved 500 miles South 11 years ago. I am hoping I can guilt him into giving me the black slapstick console/shifter he had purchased for the car, as well as a set of bucket seats.....

Sad thing is, the car had very little rust, and perfect front and rear bumpers. hidden headlights, front fenders were very good, even the ugly brown interior was almost perfect! Had the rally dash, the clock even still worked.....it was a great start to a project car for sure...oh yea, four rally wheels with centers and rings.....now I am making myself sick thinking about it...8 3/4 rear, 400/727 (although he had pulled the motor/tranny out when he first got it as he planned on a hemi build.....and yes, he had/has the funds to build whatever he wants, even back in '88).

I don't blame him. He helped me install a 400/727 out of a '77 Cordoba (just to get the thing moving), literally under a shade tree, using a tractor with a loader as the engine hoist. All we had to do was wire it up and start it, but my first kid was born in early August, and two weeks later his first came along, so our Sunday afternoon project got pushed aside, sitting outside through an Iowa winter with no hood or aircleaner (I know, please don't scold me, I was 19).

So, long story short, it is my fault as I was close to having it running, and I just lost interest. 25 years later I have a '73 SE that is going to get completed, I have a goal of June 1 2014 for her to be show ready. All but one of four kids are out of the house, doing very well, and my wife is on board with fullfilling the dream that has been on my books since she and I started dating in 1985.....

[Ghoste]

Ah, yes its a little different if you move away and don't maintain contact.  I had kind of thought you were across town or something, he's forgiven.

[GOTWING]

i had a friend of mine leave his 87 buick GN at my house for what was supposed to be a few weeks, it ended up being two years and he had the keys! so it sat out back in the yard killing grass. ( he was a contractor and left the states. )

[hemi68charger]

I sold my 1st Charger, a bronze '73 318 SE, to a good friend of mine back in,,, ohhhhh, 1982 I believe... I sold it to pay for the purchase and paint job of my 1st 2nd generation Charger, a '68 Charger. Not idea where the car is now. Going by Florida track-record, it is probably all rusted out by now.. (grew up in West Palm Beach, Fl.)

[Homerr]

Bought my '69 in 1992 (Vancouver, Wa.), sold it in 1995 to a guy (Ted S.) from the Salem, Or. area.

[charger490]

i got my frist 68 charger in 1968 and had it for 1 year and two months and was hit head on so the junk yard got mine.

[chargerboy69]

I sold my blue on blue 68 back around 1993.  It changed hands a couple times, even had several chances to buy it back.  I found it several years ago as a member of the "Old board" had it.  Last I knew it was still in the Fort Wayne area.

My second car was a Super bee that I bought from a junk yard in San Diego. Rare scat pack option with black painted scoops and hood pins.
4-speed, number matching everything, F6 black v-top and a black BB stripe.
I bought it in 1986 for $500., it only needed a clutch and it ran great.  

Wish I had that one back.

[Ghoste]

Always wanted to find one of those Scat Pack ones.

[Tilar]

I still have my first one, the 68. Traded my second one, a pretty nice 72 SE Brougham, for an 85 LeBaron convertible for my last wife. What a mistake. Scrapped my third one, a 73, left the 4th one in Texas but it was one of the Omni Chargers, I couldn't give that thing away and it ran. Still have my 5th which is the 73 in my avatar pic. So at this point I have my first and my 5th.

I wish I would have never have caved in went through with the whole deal ( I tried to back out of the deal originally).

Until the title is signed and notorized, backing out is very easy. It consists of "Nope, Changed my mind. Not gonna do it."

[6pkrtse]

I never sold my first black 70 Charger R/T I bought in 1986 or so. I got rear ended by a drunk driver & the car got totaled rather than sold. With the insurance money I bought my 2ND & current red 70 Charger R/T S.E. that I still own today. It was bought back by someone else & repaired poorly. I was offered to buy it back after the repairs were poorly done but already found & bought my red 70'. Fast forward 20 years + later & I have re-located my original black 70 now several hours away from me but have not been able to buy it back.

[bad_habits]

I'm happy to say that both Chargers I have bought I still have, hopefully never have to sell one or both of them.

[1BAD68]

Bought my first Charger in 2000, dragged it out of a barn where it was sleeping for 20+ years. Sold it in 2003 to someone in California who sold it and now it's in Finland.

I realize that now. The only reason I went through with the deal was he told me his young sons were very excited to get the car & that's all they talked about  . If I knew how much I would regret my decision now, I would have told the guy tough sh*t, I am not doing it. LESSON LEARNED.

I am actually on the hunt for another 69 to turn into a GL clone. When I find one, its going to be in better shape than my old one. Before I tear into it, I will contact the guy with my old one & see if we could work out a deal. Financially, it's a retarded idea but sentimentally, its priceless. If he refuses, no big deal. I will have a better foundation for my future Lee.

[RallyeMike]

I sold my first Charger to a guy who offered to buy it outside of a 7-11.  A few months later the guy (no idea of the name) ran it into a bus and totaled it. I found it in a junkyard and pulled one piece of trim off it which is attached to my current 69.

[Lord Warlock]

I got mine in July of 1978,  and drove it until i graduated college in June 1984.  Then i traded it to my dad for a used 77 mazda RX4 wagon (nice family car and more economical to drive to California to go through usaf missile school.  The agreement was that i would get first dibs on buying it back after i got out of the air force in 88.  It took a few years, and when i got a 70 camaro project car, he got irritated that i didn't buy the charger back, and promptly towed the car from Pensacola to Jacksonville, and dropped it off in my driveway and told me I could store it from then on, he didn't pass the title back till i paid for it again several years later.  I eventually paid it off and owned the charger again, and its been with me all but 4 years of my military service time. 

I've vowed never to sell it myself, my goal is to get it roadworthy and driving again, then when i keel over the wife will be able to sell it to pay off my leftover debt. 

In 2006 i had a 2 car garage built in the backyard, just to house the charger, and that was the last time it had been started and driven, as i got it running and actually drove it from the front yard to the backyard garage and parked it there.   This weekend, I decided it was due to start again, and after about an hour of tweaking, and hooking up an external fuel supply, as i don't trust the fuel in the tank, fired it up and let it run for 20 minutes today, sounded great for a car that hasn't run in 6 years.
