Lately I've been checking out Charger prices of actual sales of cars for sale and sold on Ebay. There were always around 50 or so of them for sale at any given time, but these days there are around 20 or less of them for sale. Are they drying up, or has the market changed? Any thoughts on it?
 
facebook marketplace and Especially the Groups have replaced ebay.
ive been telling you guys about the mopar swap shop group for years now.
i looked at a rust free beautiful red 68 charger yesterday asking 25k ready to drive.
ive also seen plenty of charger projects hit the market and get bought within minutes versus ebays days and bidding setup.
its also possible to go check out the profile of whomever you are dealing with,and see realtime information versus ebays limited info.

have you decided to set some of yours free?
 
What is the mopar swap shop?
edit......Oh, DUH, never mind. I figgered it out. Facebook Market group. I had never seen it. Thanks for the info.

1973 Plymouth Duster Custom · 318
$9,999
Vehicles

Cars
Listed a day ago in Inman, SC
Movie car. This 1973 Plymouth Duster was built for the movie Death Sentence starring Kevin Bacon in 2007. Two Dusters were built for the movie, one was totaled in a movie scene. This is the surviving Duster. The motor is a steel crank 318 with four barrel. Engine and transmission were rebuilt a few years ago. It is a column shift automatic. The car was originally built by Hodge Restorations. It has been in storage since the filming of the movie. Runs and drives. The oil has been changed, new brakes and brake fluid, and coolant flushed. Windshield wipers work. Speedometer works, fuel gauge needs attention. The dash needs new back lights, you can't see anything at night. It has new carpet, but the interior could use freshening up. The door panels have some rips, and there is a small hole in the front seat where they attached dummies in the car during filming of the movie. Overall it is a solid car that can easily be a daily driver. This Duster is awesome!

Yes... so many are now being kept indoors out of the rain.

You have them all :lol:
 
Well, you know....The 1970 models are the fewest in numbers since the then new Challenger and Barracuda pulled sales from the Charger and Road Runner lists.

When the 70 chargers were coming of the assembly line the 68 were allready rust buckets so they thoughthey shouldnt build as many
 
A lot of the real value is in the surviving cars that are either rust free or restored

Covid may be affecting prices for cars people need to sell for quick cash....but don’t expect that to trend long

My parents bought a 70 Charger brand new,and here in the rustbelt where they use plenty of road salt,the car was 10 years old before I saw any rust on the car.
 
Not everywhere.
A lot of people live where the cars don't rust within 2 years.

I was just rattling your chain a bit just to liteing the day up,cant take everything serious
 
Many would say the 1970 model cars from all the big three makers was the premier year for muscle cars. Seems to me, as an average, moving away in either direction from 70, car values as a whole move to less in value. i assume thats because of whats presumed desirable and the demand is for. Me as a late comer to Mopar s find many more in the 71 to 74 year cars available than 68 to 70s in my area. As a Chevy guy I have just now started moving the many lates sixties Chevelles, Camaro, Impalas, Vettes and trucks I collected over the last forty years for a few hundred bucks for top money, me searching for those cheap Mopars in the 68 to 70 range is NOT happening. You guys gottem all....ha ha. But, I have hope there is a nice driver 68 , 69, or 70 out there for me before they all vanish......yall may FORCE me to join Facebook, as I cannot stand Faceberg.....

I don't think that they are drying up, rather, there has been a lack of quality cars for sale since the Kung Flu & recession began. It's not just Chargers, it's all 64-71 Mopars.

Nah, still lots of 2nd gens 'out there'.... just not many For Sale right now ?
IMO,
because the so-called "money" they would be Sold for now is about to be valueless or a fraction of value into the future ?

Same as current stock market valuations ?
Not a hope those are based in any relevant EBITDA, price to earnings.... or any known business valuation metric ?
It's just money chasing anything that may hold relevant "value" into the future..... OTHER than "CASH" which will be quickly being devalued.

So better to hold onto the "ASSET" for relative value into the future than the "CASH".... including 2nd Gen Charger's as an "ASSET"
