Too bad it is probably a scam.

Get a hold of someone on here that lives in California where this car is at and have them go look at it right away.  If its a real deal get on a plane and drive it home.

Burlingame, California  is a suburb of San Francisco.  PM StratoCharger and ask him if he'd take a peek for you.

Not sure on the buyer but i was just wondering......

You're 20 years old and you still need your parents permission?

Their house.. Their rules:P

Did you read the 1st line in the ad?

Hello,

                   1968 Charger GENERAL LEE CLONE!   Yes, I know the general was a 1969,   I did this car when I use to use a lot of drugs and drink a lot,   I really did not know it was a 68 until the next day,   Honest.

its only 3,000 away from 8.  Have Pops float you a loan.  Or walk up to the guy with 8,000 cash on the spot and see what happens ....

My thoughts exactly

hey man, the deals are out there, you just have to look for them.   i spent about four years trying to find a 2nd gen charger and finally i found a 70 in the paper for 1300 bucks, in decent shape.   talked the guy down to 750 and drove the car home.   that blue 69 with all the rust was in worse shape than the one i bought.   you just gotta shop around!   and good luck.

how about that yellow charger i might get? im very very interested in it... ive been talking to the owner

Not to discourage you but maybe you should just slow down and take a deep breath. It's hard to tell on a message board but it seems like you're freaking out a little bit over this, like the deadline to buy the last remaining Chargers is two weeks away. I was the same way when I was looking for a Charger. Deals kept falling through and it seemed as if it would never happen. Then, after about two years of banging my head against the wall I found a very nice restorable 383 4spd '68 about 15 miles from my house and bought it for $5,500. This was after chasing leads all over the country and in Canada. Also I would be very, very cautious of the Ebay route unless you can see the car in person. Keep a close eye on the local ads because you'll even see them there once in a while. You can also run an ad in the paper saying you're looking for one. A coworker of mine found a '68 Mustang fastback that way. And check with the local Mopar clubs and restoration shops in your area. Do a little networking and you'll be surprised what you can find near your house. I found and looked at four or five '68s and '69s locally within two or three weeks once I started networking with people in the hobby.

This picture is about as white trash as it gets:

Joe im going to send you an email of some pics from that 68, I went and looked at it today.

Be patient, son.  I bought the 40th Charger I looked at.  I paid people to go look, had people from here go look and even flew to go look at cars...and passed on them all.  Even the one I ended up with, I love it, but I settled some.  I don't regret the purchase but it wasn't exactly what I wanted.  Took me eight months...others it takes even longer.  Bodywork is EXPENSIVE...as already stated, get a cleaner car with lousy interior or worn out 318 than a 440 breathin rust bucket.
