Value on 68-70 doors

I acquired a few doors for a 68-70 Charger. I have a good set already and don't plan on using these but was wondering what a fair price is for these guys. All doors have some rust in the lower corners on the outer skins. The drip edge on the gold door is by far in the best shape with some minor surface rust and the seam sealer pealing away. The two yellow doors have some rust through on the drip edge but one being worse than the other. I included photos let me know what you think!

A clean door with no rust should be worth $300 each. Those needing to be patched up? I'd say $150 each, tops.

Maybe on the left coast?, but those stripped out rusty shells would be lucky to fetch $50 each on the right coast, $300 is money better spent on an AMD Charger door skin IMHO

I just paid $150.00 for a 69 road runner door. Minimal rust and was complete with all hardware and the A pillar window frame had almost no pitting
I would say maybe $100-125 being a Charger door

69 Charger Daytona clone
79 Lil Red Express - future money pit
88 Ramcharger 4x4- current money pit

$150 for the set.
Logic is you have to find a guy needing them first, 2nd.. a guy who can patch  or pay to patch them.
Sure they are desirable to an extent but if you got $150 a pc (300 -set) count yourself lucky.
Unless you believe in the american pickers , then it's rusty gold!!
Gosh darnit, pay up?!$%

I was closer to the $50 each price when they are all stripped out of all the bits
If you have to find a complete door for parts but is in worse condition than these to make it worth swapping the parts over might just as well fix parts door

that yellow door matches my car and even the rust would fit perfectly lol

Doors are fairly common & easy to find at the swap meets & online, so selling rusty ones for a high price is going to be tough. Of all the parts I've had over the years, doors seemed to be the hardest to get rid of, even the clean ones.   :Twocents:

I agree with the others, about $50 a piece, tops.

One area that I see damage to A LOT is the sheet metal area surrounding the door catch. They crack & split above & below. If a rusty door has this, to me it's scrap metal.

agreed, i tried to sell a rust free set of complete doors at a mopar swap meet and people thought i was nuts at $450, eventually after a few months someone saw the add and was happy to pay $450 for a pair of nice ones as they needed them

I bought a completely rust free door a year or two ago for $50.00.  It was complete with window glass, door panel, inner and outer door handles, even the arm rest.

Thanks, That's my 70...plan on leaving it like that and just restored this 68....doors for these guys fetch good money. I find it hard to believe everyone else gets them so cheap for these chargers considering an amd door is almost $700

Doors are one of those parts that nobody really needs. Unless you buy a car without doors.
Duh and who buys a car without doors? Probably the same type of guy who will want to give you $50 for the pair. LOL
