1 million dollar '68 Charger R/T?!?!?

[Cooter]

Wonder Who the guy was years ago I think it was here that claimed to have this car. Wondered if it was real then disappeared.

Never even heard of this car until it was offered for $1 Mil. Looks like someone woulda been trying to sell it in "As found"/ "Movie Condition" before it was Fully restored like any other restored 440 Charger. i have no doubt thta dude believes he has the car and it's real, but proving it is another story.

There is definitely a good chance that this is THE car.  However, he needs actual proof to claim it as such and even IF he can do so, where the heck does he get the idea that it would be worth anything close to that price?

I'm guessing that by offering it at 1 million, it would bring some attention even if it is negative it's still attention.
And by bringing attention to it, brings interest. I wouldn't doubt if it silently slips off the radar because some rich guy overseas makes an offer and it gets sold (not for 1 million but a substantial amount)

That's a good point, didn't look at it that way.

I care less about the price than the fact that all of the hype is helping to legitimize the car without the need to provide real evidence.

But if the price wouldn't be so nuts we wouldn't need it.  I don't think evidence exists anyway so it's a moot point.  All the seller can do is sell it as a probable Bullitt car and put a normal price on it.  The new owner will then have paid a real world value for that car and not pay for a claim that cannot be proven.

What would a normal price for this thing be anyway?

Well, a numbers matching 440 with a 4 speed and restored to "mint" must be in the 30-35k range.
Adding for the "chance" that it's the real Bullitt car, I'd say around 45-55k.
If it was proven without a doubt, I'd say it's worth a million.

I agree on 2 counts but I can't say any movie car would be worth that or even close to it.

The Goldfinger DB5 went for 4.6 million, the Ford GT40 used as a camera car for the McQueen Lemans movie sold for over 10 million, the Porsche 911 that McQueen used in Lemans sold for over a million.  Thats considerably more than non-movie ones.  I don't know if they're worth it but its 3 movie cars off the top of my head that sold for over a million dollars.

True and so did the batmobile but those prices are plain absurd.  I also think that a James Bond car would fetch a ton more than a Charger that was in a McQueen movie, and not his best either.

Oh well, I don't really care if the car is real or not or what the owner gets for it but I think it's safe to say he may be disappointed.
