That car is a $3000 at most value ::) From the pics it has hope but it will take a bucket load of cash to bring it back :P :Twocents:

You know Scott, 8 years ago I would have said the same thing. But Times Are A Changing. 25 Years ago I bought my 69 Charger Rusted / Trash for $500 and drove it home!

As long as you don't have people contacting you after the sale wanting 'their' parts back, and I certainly wouldn't buy nothing from Diablo, but go for it. With AMD now, it's not hard to repair it. With that said, sure, it'll take more money than you think it will, but it always does.

Just remember, those that caution you aren't hunting like you. Times they are/done changed. Finding a solid body for under $14k is doable, but a bird in the hand is worth fourteen in the bush.
Believe me though, ol Diablo knows what it'll bring. NOT what it's worth. A missing engine? Really? A deal breaker?
When it's prolly some small block car, or even if it came with one, most likely, it'd be some 'FUBAR'd junk big block, and you'd be hunting for another anyway.

Well I decided against the car. I will probably wish I had got it but in time the right one will turn up.

Ain't nothing cheap anymore. You will have to pay, to play. :Twocents:

$5500, I say buy it.  Does it have wiring in it?  Wiper motor and all the other junk on the firewall? 

Tell me where it get something reasonable like that for $3000 and I'd be very tempted to go get it.

Like previously mentioned, it's not too much in Canada that's for sure.

I think most of the wiring was there but after 40+ years its hard telling with hack jobs and the critters what's left. Don't know about the underhood components. I probably should of got it,being fairly complete but I'd still prefer a complete car needing resto so I know what I have and don't have. Have a line on a 69 4 speed car but don't know what will become of that. Engine and trans were still in it.

True enough, my wiring is a mess.  I bought mine for $500 back in the early 90's.  $200 for the parts the guy had.  It needed full restoration. 

I was lucky.  Maybe? 

I doubt I could ever find another deal like that now.

Convert $500 in 1990s money to 2014 money, and you probably get at least $1500 if not more.
