Decided to sell my 1970 charger (SOLD)

[kokxville]

Well,after a long time thinking what to do,today i finally decided to sell my 1970 charger 500 383 2bbl wich i have for 11 years now.I started a nut and bolt resto,but i have no room for it anymore.I moved the charger in this time to 5 differend locations to put him in storage and to work on it,and now i have to move it again because there's no room for my car anymore.I've had it.
It hurts to see it go,but someday i will buy another charger with less work than this one.It's still my #1 muscle car ever build.
On the brightside,i can save my money on storage to spend in the future for another "Done" charger.That's what keeps me going now.

Post it in the for sale section with pictures and price.

Sorry you have to sell it.

[ACUDANUT]

 Sorry to hear that. I see your from Europe.  You might have better luck selling it there 

[greenpigs]

That stinks, hope you don't take it on the chin too bad.

Remember you don't need to own a Charger to be a member of this site.

  I hear ya..."my year or so" turned into 6 years of storage @ 135.00 per month. I gained custody of my 3 children and raised them while my ex sat on her butt. (Shes over 33K in arrears in support) The car is starting to "come back" now, I'm down to one 17 year old. It was tough for a long time, short on funds and no time for the car, but the kids supported hanging on to it.

Never say never 
Life can take turns which force you to let it go.

You will find another one when the time is right

 I would sell the 66 Plymouth and keep the Charger.

That sucks. But your not alone either.

You have to do what is right at the time.  Try to get her back together.  It will be easier to sell

Thanks for the replies guys.
Someone came take a look at my charger last saturday and he is for 95% shure he want it.
He's coming back tonight and then i know for sure.

@Ron: I know,i wish i could,but there will be anotherone someday

@ Rob: If i was able to have the room and time to put her back together,i would never sell my charger.

@ Carsten: Hi Carsten,yes everything is ok.I'm doing fine.How are you?

John

[kamkuda]

Are you gonna drive the Belv this year?

[kokxville]

Hi Rob,

Yes,it's almost done.Next month she will be roadworthy 
Changed all the gaskets and seals and freezeplugs on the 318 poly,welded the rust issues and painted it black.( 2/3rd of it because it started to rain,haha )
ordered a new set off frontmarker lencess,and have the bumpers powdercoated.
I'll post some pics here when it's done.

[kokxville]

Well,the charger is sold.
I still have mixed feelings but at this time it's the best thing for me to do.
There will be another one in the future.
But i still keep hanging around here

I know how you feel.Awhile back I sold a 1971 plymouth duster 318 that I bought from the original owner because of crap that came up.
It was in great shape.

You will find another like I did

[fc7_plumcrazy]

Hi John,

I am fine, hope to see you at some shows in NL or at the german Mopar Nats this year!

Best wishes

Carsten

[kokxville]

Too late now huh ?

[kokxville]

Well,let me explain.
The reason i've had to sell the charger is that i've lost the space to work on her.It was completly dissambled and i did get a good price the way it was.I didn't have what i have invested in it trough.And the other thing is time.I knew if i should keep it,it would never be finished.Restoring a car is nice,but i've had my charger for 11 years and have never drivin it.It just costs me more and more money,and in the 11 years i've had it,i moved it 5 times due the fact that i don't have the space on my own to put it.I was depending on other people and that sucks and costs more money.
The Belvedere is not a big project and i want to drive a mopar this summer and this car will suit my needs.
But i will buy another in the future,one that's ready to drive and have fun in it.I could always say to people,hey,i have a 1970 charger and everyone thinks"wow,that's awesome".But what's it worth if you won't be able to drive it?
That doesn't mean i'm very happy now i've sold it.
You get the point?
It feels like a loss,but also as a relief.

[kokxville]

Sorry to hear you have to let the car go John....hopefully you & your dad can still make it to Carlisle again!

Unfortunatly we won't make it to Carlisle this year.I'm going to visit the us,but not the date when Carlisle is,and not with my dad.He snors to much while he's a sleep  .So i'm going this year with someone who does other things at night. I think next year i'll be going to Carlisle again.Btw,you have reletives over here Rob.When do you come to holland?

[fc7_plumcrazy]

Hi John,

the german Mopar Nats will probably be friday 5th august and saturday 6th august (main day). Sunday will be just a hangover. As usual a race at the airport is planned for saturday evening
