I have seen many cars that have matching number's, does that make it worth more or not?

Yes it does but not always.
Any matching numbers car with the same engine as non matching will be more valuable but a non matching hemi will beat any matching whatever except the hemi itself  :icon_smile_big:

I don't know exactly how much more the value would be but I'm sure others will.

I am looking at a '69 charger with matching numbers and all of the interior is included plus 2 440's and and extra tranny for 7,500.  It is a nice car.

I have been tracking the prices of Charger for the last 8 years. They have gone up an average of 8% per year over that time period.
Matching numbers is more important on a big block car. Unless the car is a total rust bucket, you almost can't go wrong for $7500. It will be expensive to fix up though unless you can do most of the  work yourself.

Convince your parents to buy you a gas guzzling, poor handling, brakes like chewing gum, rusted out, 37 year old piece of antiquated iron?   

I think not. ::)
:rotz:

If its a "second car" for you then maybe you can tell them the investment possibliities to pay for your college education! :)


PS--if you get/dont get the car....please register it!! ;)

It is not rusted out, the only rust on it is center trunk pan and drivers floor needs replacing and a small spot of frame rail is soft 4-5 inches from rear bumper

If it is a 318 car the #'s aren't near as significant as a big block car.

2 440's??  Is this an R/T you are looking at?  If yes, matching #'s would add typically add 25%-35% or more to it's value in my opinion.

I know I am in the minority here. But, I would rather have a '69 matching numbers R/T 4 speed (big surprise, huh!) than a non-numbers '69 Hemi. I could always put a hemi in the Charger, but I can't go the other way without the correct engine.

That said, every time I stare at the quarters on the ragtop I think, "you know- I could sell this and put a hemi in the Charger."

If its not rusted out in the trunk and lower quarters, and all the parts are there that you can reassemble the car with, and get it roadworthy, then its probably worth $7,000.  Take a loan out from your pops, and go to this guy with good ol green backs and let the money do the talking..


Wasn't this car on ebay a couple months back?

where is it located, I'll buy it and hold it for a few years until you are ready to buy it for yourself. Of course it will be marked up on price a bit

if i'm restoring to stock, matching #s is important to me. if i'm building a hotrod charger, muscle is all that matters. Rene
