PLEASE HELP ME FIND MY DREAM CAR

E86/A47:  Well, did you get that triple green R/T or not?  Guessing you missed it.  Looks like it would have been a nice find.

E86/A47

No, I was like 8th on line. So if the previous 7 people flake then I will have a shot so I am not holding out hope.

I'd just like to state again my 318 3rd gen didn't fail me any more than any other car would've in 5 years. Yes, the transmission went out, it went to a shop for a week, it lost an alternator, starter and a wire crimp came undone and even now the engine is out. Until I pulled the engine there wasn't a month in over 5 years I couldn't drive my car. I haven't made $90k a year yet.

It will get dings and dents. At least you are driving an ancient tank. Moron teenagers will park too close to it and might hit it with the edge of their door. It doesn't stop being a Charger. Sometimes you'll come out of a store or gas station to see a beer can sitting on the hood, and I bad day, I gave everyone within range a bad day, I'm lucky I didn't go to jail, but I still drove my car everywhere. I will continuing driving it everywhere. I've been on dates with girlfriends and even really pretty boys (it'll happen more often as the technology improves, you have to have a sense of humor about it) in my car. My one roommate had a 92 or 95 Toyota Pasio, the other a 99 Acura Integra, and mine has a higher success rate than either. My parts were cheaper too.

The Dodge Charger is not an undependable car. It serves as a full time car just fine. I don't get a warranty, so all repairs happen out of pocket, but it's an easy trade for the coolest car ever built.

Currently undergoing 413/727 swap after I finally beat the 318 til it lost a headgasket. The kicker is the 318 still cranks and runs like nothing is wrong. I love my ca

And like I said, you gotta have a sense of humor about it. Google "Alicia Liu" sometime, nothing dirty, "artistic" or virus ridden will pop up and scar you, point being that gender reassignment is only improving. It's like the song "Lola" by The Kinks, about it being a mixed up world. Would it freak you out if I said I still had a good time? or if I told you I paint my finger nails? I'm not gay, just maybe a little too open-minded.

Edit: Oh, and Izzy was almost on that level.

It looks kind of rough but figure its a 15k charger, your paying 3,500 for the 4sp track  pk RT combo pedigree. Cheap really
One thing to consider is a car like that is always going bring more if you ever sell it.

Why not call? Not sure why it seems like a scam besides the seemingly low price. If it's not a scam, you may already be too late....? Gotta act quick on the good deals which do happen every now and then. Did you see my post about the 69 RT for 10K?

I have to be honest I've looked this long and I think in going to wait for a 68 or 70 someone does need to by that green 69 though  :o

i dont think it would be much, maybe a couple inches, but nothing major... also keep in mind a car low to the ground gives an illusion of it being longer
