Help!! What this Charger worth?

Why don't your pictures match your description? It is in a boneyard. Why is one hood filled with rust and the other is not?
 
back in 1989. I bought a Gold , gold interior 67 383 4 spd. A original rust free straight eg. I believe I paid 3500 cdn. I think our monies was at par .
The one I have now. A all original 66 383 ,auto , white , blue interior. I paid quite a bit more 3 years ago .
 
If the owner sees it run they get numbers bouncing around their head.. If you don't start it or turn it over its just a junk car to her. You can probably get it for the I want it out of my garage price... But if you get it running all bets are off. I never work on a car is someones yard... You will be kicking your own *** at that point.
 
I know that this will seem unpopular BUT what about giving a widow a fair price? She lost her Husband, guys! Would you want some guy to cheat your Wife out of some needed money if you pass on early?
If she killed the guy, then...nevermind.
 
I’ll let the smart guys give you numbers. My opinion is you really need to decide what you’d do with it if purchased. Two different numbers there. It’s worth more or less depending on what you plan to do - restore or part.
 
Yeh, what Kern said. Bad Karma taking advantage of widows, old folks or kids.

That looks like an easy fix and being a 383 4spd car it would be worth the effort if the rust is as you described and the trim looks good as well. I would have no problems going $4k not running if that helped her out and made her whole maybe a bit higher seeing it in person. Just make sure she has a good title to go with it so you have no trouble there.
Current Values as provided from Hagerty website (you have a ways to go to get to the fair #4 value below)
  • #1 Concours $36,900

But that's a #10 car. I still say $2,000.00. Just keep in ind that once you start really working on it, things are most likely going to be worse than you initially realized.
 
3500 going to take a couple of grand to make road worthy plus your time
 
I'm sorry your husband passed away... Let me over pay you for a pile of **** that needs lots of work. Oh and unobtainium parts.. A fair price is 3k for that car. Shes just gonna go buy a stock pile of Bon Bons anyway..

Thanks for all you guys help & advise. Makes it easier about the decision. I was actually, before all your input, that the car was a $1-$2 grand tops
 
Offer her the grand and see what she says. If she accepts or counteroffers a bit higher, you're not "taking advantage of a widow".
 
383 4 speed- not terribly common

yellow- love or hate

rusty deck lid- somewhat hard to find

headlights rotate? +$$$

dash lights work? +$$$$

no 383 2 barrels in 66 B body cars

$3500 if no frame rust
 
I agree with the 3 to 4 grand range, these cars are very expensive to restore, and there is not much of a market for them when they are done.
 
First thing would comes to my mind is why part out a factory 383 4 speed charger?
Second thing is that is worth 4-5k easily if the unibody and common problem areas are solid.. If you want to undercut her on the price then just lump yourself in with the thousands of other jerks trying make a buck off others because they lack knowledge on a certain subject.
It was her late husbands car she probably will feel he is taking care of her if she gets a fair number for it, and you get a factory 4 speed car. Also have to consider the rarity factor here..even at 5k its not all abou the money, its also about the time and or/your luck of finding a rare 4 speed example. If you like stick cars then they are far between and so all things considered it is a better deal, even though the price may not nessecarily be cheap.

looks like it's got the low-perf exhaust manifolds.

I think they all had those manifolds in '66, for the 4 bbl 383's. The car is a keeper, for sure. Trunklid looks like it will need metal to fix, check the back edge by the skin welds. Very hard to find a good replacement.

I’m in agreement with you. Based upon the condition, I think it’ll take me about 4-5 grand to get it where it’s driveable but no bodywork or interior work being done to it. So I’d have 8 into it. I don’t know how much it cost to have the seats recovered and new carpet. The body I’m actually thinking I’ll just sand the rust smooth, patch the fe’s small holes and then clear the whole thing so you’d see the imperfections. Your thoughts?

There’s rust holes on trunk lid, passenger door and top of rear quarter panel. The metal around the rear glass is rusty real bad to the point I think it would take a donor car cut out of that and weld onto this car. That’s not easy to find or cheap to install.
