Hey Guys

Im looking at buying this car. Id like to get honest "what you would pay for it" prices. I think its priced a little high. Opinons please!

Heres what I know about it.

Its not a real R/T, its an XP29 car. It was born a 383 2bbl 727 car. It still has original engine but 4bbl on it now. The 727 was replaced with an A-833. The steering wheel, pedals, shifter, and mirrors are not second gen charger. The seat and seat belts are not B body. The paint job sucks. Its peeling in the jambs, and the underhood/engine compartment werent painted. The rear valance has had the seams filled in. Both door panles need to be replaced. The grille trim is mangled. Drivers door looks like its sagging. Im sure there is a lot more so feel free to add to the list.

Thanks guys!

You listed a bunch of negatives, but no positives. Save yourself the hassles & get one of these instead.....

If I was looking to buy a new challenger, I would be on a forum for new challengers wouldn't I? Not a very helpful reply.
Everyone here knows the positives of a 69 charger.

Have you been able to look at the car in person?

Wel then, tell us what all the positives are that are going to outweigh the laundry list of negatives. ::)

How about that it's a fairly complete 69 Charger in running condition.  Everything wrong with it is just cosmetic but will still let him enjoy the car until he gets the funds and parts together to get it the way he likes it.

If he can get it for the right price, enjoy it as you fix it. How many of us have started with worst.

Ram07

I gotta tell ya, from a guy looking to buy....this is where is site is really handy....no matter what you are looking for! Be it a daily driver, or show....the guys on here really know their stuff....always willing to share the info so someone like me will not get screwed over.

Me....I looked at the pics...noticed the steering wheel was wrong...thats about it...did a post about a white one not long ago....was told what to watch out for from the egal eyed friends....not much to report on that one...just told to stay away!

A big thank you for that!

kikgas01

Mine is kind of a heap, but will drive it anyway any chance I get...

Ram07

the powers that be told me about a shoddy looking frame rail patch...little peice of metal welded here...undercoating under the trunk but not the floor boards...looked fishy...so...stayed away!

This is why I would put a value of 14-15k (as long as the car is solid & not rotten underneath).  You would definately want to see it in person first.

BTW: If it was mine, the bench seat would have to go. Never cared for them in a second gen Charger.

@ Over 15k your a smuck, under 12k your a winner... anything inbetween and your in reasonable market value imo.
