This person has a skewed idea of what 'profitable' means

[hatersaurusrex]

At least he's not sitting on it saying 'I'm gonna fix her up one day'

This year of charger is the exact year and make as the black charger used in The Fast and Furious. Front floors and trunk floor rusted out. Ends of rear frame rails need work.

He has a reddish-orange 2nd-gen Charger with a CB antenna on the trunklid.  

Notice that he says nothing about the General Lee, but he describes it as "the exact same model & year as the Fast & Furious Charger."  



Don't tell me those F&F movies aren't helping the future of the Charger hobby.

I thought that was a bit ironic too. I actually really enjoy the F&F franchise. I wish they would do something like the gumball rally though, that's a fun flick.

What cars did you like the most?  I liked the '70 Camaro and the Cobra; dream cars for sure...

Only if someone buys it for that reason.

Point is, the seller considered the F&F connection more worthy of mention than the GL connection.  


Can you imagine an orange Charger seller doing that 10 years ago?  
Downplaying the GL connection and emphasizing the F&F one?  

The car in the ad even has a 01 painted on the passenger door.  The seller elected to use the blank orange side of the car for the main picture.  
                             

[Ghoste]

Yes I'll give you that for sure.

Or, that the casual enthusiast may just see an orange Charger with an 01 on the door and say "Golly look! It's a General Lee!" He might not know the difference between years.
I once heard a radio skit where they were talking about the most popular cars on film. A caller said his favorite was "The GTO they used in F&F". DJ replied "Yep, gotta love those GTO's!"     

Only if buys it for that reason.

I'll agree with this.

Still not a bad price for a project car.

I like the Daytona, Jensen and AAR cuda in the new one. Past ones, the charger, road runner, challenger, Monte Carlo, mustang with skyline engine, and the skylines.

That's funny as hell!

[Ghoste]

Profitable and restoration are almost mutually exclusive.

[Fred]

But should never be used together in a sentence. 

[dyslexic teddybear]

He means it would be profitable to him if he sells it for some else to restore.....

[aussiemuscle]

looks just like the one in Spy Hard

[VegasCharger]

Now that's funny 
Did you crop that Spy Hard pic to hide the 68 side markers?

[NHCharger]

The seller is correct. It will be a profitable restoration- for the shop that is hired to do the work.

[Ghoste]

Not to mention AMD.

  You hit the nail on the head!
