i haven't seen it before, and I make it a point to check out dark blue Chargers as that's a very rare color for some reason...
nice car that's sure alot of options... if it's been repainted it's not exactly "unrestored"...
welcome to the site,..
i'm sure it'll get some drooly smileys..

The $110K for the car seems cheap (compared to the other prices I've seen for hemi cars $125K-$150K)

That nose high look was probably caused by one too many punches in the throttle  :D

This is why some of us were advising the sunroof car owner ( last week ) that that 69 hemi car he was thinking about getting for 150,000 needing work, seemed like to much.   Nice car for the price.  :2thumbs:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Wasn't there someone on here recently who was looking at an unrestored Hemi 2nd gen for $150k? I thought that was way too high for something that needs restoration and I think this proves it.

Yup, here it is: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,41081.0.html

And in response to 68charger383 above, all the 2nd gen Hemi Chargers I've seen have barely broken the $100k mark so I don't think this one is out of line in the current market.

Seems like a great unrestored example... and $110k seems like a relative bargain for an original, matching-#'s, 55k mi HEMI charger...

i guess compared to the over inflated prices cars were getting to 2 years ago, $110k may now seem like somewhat of a bargain. call me old school, but i don't think ANY old car is worth 6 figures.. never will be for me anyway. not when i can have 4-5 68-70 R/T's for $100k.. i'd love a daytona, but i am sure i won't ever own a real one as they will probably never be in a "normal" working man's price range again. too many rich investor/collector's spiked the prices because they were rare, not because they loved the cars, sane with the few hundred hemi and 6 pack cars built each year

Call me crazy but I don't think any car new or old is worth $100k. Well, unless I'm selling. :D

I love the dark blue that they had for 68'.  I wonder why that color was so unpopular, looks great on the Chargers and Super Bees that I've seen it on.

For the same reason green was so popular I'd imagine.  :shruggy:
