so i need a little help :(

[mikes_classics_68]

well i know this may seem a little misplaced as this is dodge charger.com but a mopar is a mopar rite?  so on to my story.


So i was driving down the street yesterday and i happened look down back road and what do i see? i worn down 69 roadrunner, my eyes about popped out of their sockets. but it is in pretty bad shape,

someone used hot glue to plug up rust holes in the back and parts of the hood... :/ and the quarters do need to be replaced, and the front drivers fender has a fairly large dent in it, but the interior looks very good maybe 1 small tear, other then that it just looks a little worn and dirty, but under a layer of dust i saw a red H obviously symbolizing hurst under the shifter, so now i know its a 4 speed.


so the question is, what would be a safe price to pay?  obviously considering the many variables, whether the engine is matching numbers, whether it runs or drives, whether there are major mechanical defects that i could not see considering i just looked at it and did not speak with the owner.

This car has obviously been sitting here for a few years so hopefully they will be willing to part with it.

but i wanna make sure i dont pay to much, or turn down there offer thinking it is too high when in fact it could be a good price.  i also noticed that the frame seemed fine no major rust that i could see. just surface cancer : /

here are a few pictures.


















any help would be greatly appreciated  thank you            Michael

If I'm right, that's a San Diego Roadrunner. I tried to buy it many times from an old guy who said it belonged to his son in NC. And that he would not sell it. No way. Where's it now? Since it still has the old Calif. plates, i think that's the same car.

sweet find! i like those, bet it's a runner.. 

[TripleBlackGator]

That's a California car?

[Mean 318]

thats not too bad! I would say 2-4k DEPENDING on frame, motor, trans, and options.

[NYCMille]

Honestly, I would say unless you REALLY want that specific car... just walk away.

[mikes_classics_68]

69bronz it is not my car but of course you can use it. the fraim didnt look that bad at all, it seams to be purely cosmetic.      and yes this is a California car it is in a little town called rocklin where i live.  i also noticed a tach and a few non stock gauges on the steering wheel so i assume someone liked to race lol  well thank for the info that is pleasently higher then i expected.

If that's the same car I kept trying to buy in San Diego, how'd you get it from the old man? He kept saying it belonged to his son in the military. He also had a killer lawn mower collection.

[mikes_classics_68]

ohh no i havent bought it yet i  just wanted to get an idea of what would be a safe price to pay for it , i haven't approached him  yet, i hope its not the same guy i really hope he lets it go.


truth be told i would prolly sell or trade it to get my hands on my true dream car,  a 68 dodge charger ~ ~ ~ 0     tomorrow i am going to talk to him, the car has sac state stuff in it  complete with an old parking pass, i cant imagine it being anywhere but around here for the past several years atleast.

[dkn1997]

Let's just say that they were selling and you got it for 4k.  you will throw at least another 4-10K into that body if you cannot weld or paint yourself. so now you have spent 8-14K on it, and you could have gotten one in that price range that was much better.

I just added it to Page 63 off my website.

you got any pictures of that Challenger?

[mikes_classics_68]

but yeah i would prolly just try to get a good deal and sell it so i can get more money for my charger  sigh  one day.  and i have friends who can weld, although paint would prolly have to be done by someone else.   so if i talk to him and i get him to sell it you might see it on here for sale when i have more info.  god i would settle for any mopar at this point but part of me is still holding out for a 68 charger.  i eat sleep and breath 2nd gen chargers. now if i can only add drives to that list then i will be happy .

[69-DodgeCharger]

you got any pictures of that Challenger?

just those two that i snapped off my phone that one day. ill try to get out there with a real camera and snap some more

[mikepmcs]

No more than 2k due to some of the facts stated above.  You can still get a real nice 69 RR below 15k all day long that just needs a little attention.  This car needs at least 15k in body work and paint alone.

  I thought $2000 before i read all the posts here.

[mikes_classics_68]

well i dunno i havent even talked to the guy but i am still kinda curious as to what is under the hood. it is marked 383. but there might be a 440 in it, or if its a 383 hopefully it is matching numbers  :/  maybe he will let it go for a few hundred  sigh well a guy can dream cant he. well hopefully the next car i find will be a 68 rt charger

[Mean 318]

Aftern  you say 383.. I say 2-3 bes of luck!
