What does 8-9K get you these days?

[Harlow]

What kind of second gen. does 8-9K get? A solid small block driver? Seriously considering selling the satellite to buy a charger or e body. So let me know what the market is like.

Usually there's nothing much in that price range except maybe a mid-resto car or a beat-up driver with the wrong engine. The prices start at about $6k and go to around $8k for something that totally needs redone. Between about $8k and $25k (I'd say $25k is where the really nice cars start) is kind of the real hit and miss territory.

[Harlow]

Anyone else?

If you want anything decent in that price range you might wanna go for an A-body.    I'm looking for a '71 Demon or a '69 Dart after I get my Charger paid off

well a year ago.... i'd say forget ANYTHING that even runs.. but just tonight i spot this

and that is a numbers matching running driving 69 BB charger in decent shape.. no rust.. for $18,500. i think a 68-70 318 charger with a good body that still needs work and may or may not run can be had now for $8k.. or at least a running car that is not perfectly solid for $8k. either way this is the time to buy one in my opinion. first off it's the best time of the year to buy a charger anyway, but even more so since they are probably 10-20% off last year's prices
just my opinion

I saw that too. BEAUTIFUL car, and great price. What is that? B7?

nice car, yeah it's a buyer's market now...
i used to say 8K to git into a charger then i bumped that to 11K a yr or so ago...

I'd say a Charger with a good body that doesn't run is way more valuable than a Charger than a driver with rust. In other words, it's a helluva lot cheaper to rebuild an engine than it is to rebuild a body.

[69charger2002]

well i agree 100% bull, and i personally would pay more for a non running rust free body.. wait i just did...

$6500 for that one($7600 with shipping), and it's not just a 318 car either...that is on the way here now via transport. i'm excited.. but anywho. my point was EBAY. which seems to house all the goobers who don't care about a body, they just want a RUNNING charger, even if it is falling apart at the frame rails. that is the sole reason i put the prices the same

I don't know how you do it, Trav.

I don't know how you do it, Trav.

His computer is set up to open to ebay and automatically have 68~70 Charger searched for and listed by color, year, engine, alphabetically, etc.... hahaha
