WTF? New levels of dumbness.

Interesting. I'd say Haggerty's are wrong, but then they should know a lot more about it than me. I wonder what their information is based on? Sales prices presumably, or insurance information maybe.

If you research similar cars online you'll get your answer. Pick different engine/transmission/spec/color/condition combos and compare the values between the 2 years. I think there's not much difference but your research will confirm what the market is saying.

While sad for the true enthusiast, the fact is if you find the right buyer (young, wealthy, Fast and Furious fan, non-Mopar expert) you could see more. There are rusted hulks for $25k. If you're in no rush, then put $70k on it and see how you go.

Great photo, car looks so cool!

I don't mean this disrespectfully but if you have the funds/are the type to spend $100k on a slant 6 Belvedere, then the initial purchase price becomes a little less relevant. Assuming you are going to do a similar top quality job on the Charger, you'll be spending $150k plus at today's prices...

$100k in it!! Is it an original hemi car? That's a lot of coin and it's not yet finished either.

Kickdown assembly. Very important, don't drive it around thinking "I'll get to that", you can burn out your transmission very quickly.

I just searched the gasket vs RTV argument for my own knowledge and there seems to be a lot of weight in favor of the gasket. Felpro say use a gasket and list some valid reasons why, but obviously they would say that as they sell gaskets. How to Seal a Differential Cover It somewhat depends on...

If you want a 4,000 lbs Charger to run 10 or 11 seconds in the quarter you need to get rid of that 318 now. I've stuck with my 318 poly and stroked it and I'm happy, but I want a 13 second cruiser, not what you're aiming for.

I would recommend getting the car first, getting to know it and everything you need to do, and THEN start buying parts.

Imagine the fun of going to car shows and seeing this car. "Look son, there's a completely disassembled car". The vehicle needs work - ummm, yes cars that are rolling shells generally do.

You could use a hidden ignition kill switch that allows the engine to turn over but won't start. That way a casual thief will think "it's an old car, it's just hard to start" and hopefully give up after a few goes. You'd also hear it turning over if nearby. If I'm leaving mine all day, at the...

The problem is the market. When rusted out shells in the woods are advertised at $20k, this car becomes ok at $69k. The rusted shells should be $3k, this car should be $25k, but that's not where it's at anymore. It's become a joke for certain models.

There's one for sale on this very forum right now. Can't comment on the Ad, as per the rules, but I suppose we can discuss it here. Have a look and see what heavy duty pharmaceuticals have been ingested prior to coming up with the price.

Why not rebuild the 440 with fuel injection?

My concern is that the "good floor" doesn't look that good either - so if it was replaced they didn't do a flash job on the painting i.e done on the cheap. The car would need a full inspection before deciding on price - the rear frame rails could be shot, who knows?

I say go for it - you will have something unique at the end of the day, and it's a lot sexier than the 318 that is in there at the moment.

It's "Cloak of Invisibility"

In the context of some of these other cars it doesn't seem that bad. I'm not saying it's good value, but I'd rather pay after negotiation maybe $65k for that car than $25k for that heap of parts in the previous post.
