It's so fast you can't even see the car!

Some Chargers are too fast for photos.

55K?  Non-Numbers matching, non-assembled???  Not trying to throw stones, but I can't see the R/T Vin/Shell commanding that much capital.

think that price is a bit high, even with all the parts, would expect to pay that if everything was together and working correctly.  But some folks think a special intake is worth big bucks, even if you could buy it retail and put it on yourself back in the day.  

Someone's been drinking the koolaide

Oh boy!  I better go rent a trailer now before Worman buys it from under me!     Seriously, is it the new fad for Charger sellers to be complete douche bags?

So CL seller, what if a rich non Mopar educated buyer wants to buy your Charger and he offers you $20,000 (5k over asking price) but he does not know the car. He just has 20k and a trailer. Are you telling me that you won't sell it to him

Oooooh Mark Worman wants it

i bet if that charger hit ebay it would meet his price

[Ghoste]

Looks like he used an online decoder and got a Chevy guy to decipher the tag for him.  Some mistakes in there.

I believe that is the same car that was listed for 20k a few weeks ago. In that CL ad he said the car was an extra for the DoH because Warner Brothers was on the title. At least that is what he heard from the guy he bought it from since you guessed it...he doesn't have the title.  

And I guess Graveyard Cars gets preferential treatment since they can get the car for 12k, but for us regular folk, we gotta pay 15k.

says it has a transverse stripe, but also has the stripe delete emblems mounted over the stripe.  It isn't even a good parts car, there is hardly a part in the photos without a scrape, dent or something obvious missing...like the rear quarter glass. Its amazing what some people think is a valuable car.  I wouldn't pay 1/3 his price, but I'm not calling him either so no biggie.

[Ghoste]

In all fairness, my RT has stripe and the emblem, even worse (form a purist point of view) the stripe is painted on and its yellow. 

I'm just saying that things get changed.

I like the part of the ad that says only $10,000 - $12,000 to complete!

[Barfyspitz]

 I think the problem we're facing with the prices skyrocketing is caused mostly by the media coverage of Barrett Jackson like auctions and all these car restoration reality shows where the owners can buy project cars with reckless abandon. It sets and unfair precedent price because they have the money to blow

[skip68]

I fully agree.   Any of us guys that have built a car can take one look at that and know for a fact that $10-$12K isn't going to finish that car.   Unless it's a Joe dirt special.     

[Dino]

People usually overestimate the value of their possesions, no matter what it is. Add that to the auction madness, the low numbers of available Chargers to be found compared to other brand muscle and there you go, uber inflated prices.

The 70 500 owner is dreaming, the Count car owner needs to be commited.

When will people realize that the vast majority of Chargers are not worth the restoration cost!  You just can't get your money out of them.

[Ghoste]

It was always like that, its just that now people seem to think they should profit handsomely from their "investment" whereas 30 years ago we just fixed them up because we loved the cars and knew we would lose money at sale time.

[Dino]

True, and therein lies the problem; these cars are lousy investments!  My low risk stock funds make more than my car would ever bring, which is why I drive it, fix and improve it, and rinse and repeat!

It's a car and as long as you use it as such, life is good.
