New Project, need some opinions

[benno440]

Hi All, been a while.

found a 68 charger project here in aus, need some opinions, guy wants $10,500.00 for it.
complete car, needs windscreen, all 4 panels fixed, floors have only surface rust on the inside, chassis perfect.
318 auto car with p/steer, aircon.

but you know me it will be one wild ride so all the factory stuff wont be needed.

let me know if you think I should, there is no others for sale and has not been for a while, the last one that was needed more work and sold for double it.

Hey Benno . . . you know your market in your area . . . sounds like the price is okay ( I think it's a bit high ) but if the car is solid, that's a great starting point.

Can't wait to see you back on the forum posting updates of your project - your last car was a BEAUTY ! ! ! This one will probably be even better ! ! !

Aussie dollar prices mean absolutely nothing Stateside....the market is completely different, and value contains hidden items such as shipping, customs duty, scarcity outside of USA etc.
Price sounds fair to me if the majority of the car is complete. A '68 car in similar (maybe slightly worse actually) sold over the weekend here in Kiwiland for $18k+

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (another one for Kern Dog) and just remember not to over-capitalise on the overall finished product.
Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will work....your last car was a pearler. :headbang:

oh just notice that it is a R/t, that's a pretty good price then as this one isn't.

Congrats Benno on the new score/project
slim picken' makes it hard to value, doesn't seem like a really bad price
I've seen far worse, sell for far more here too
68's - 70's Chargers have gone ballistic in recent years

looks like it had California black yellow Plates

I do love 68 Chargers

I'll be looking for a Pro-Touring/Resto-Mod thread build too
I loved the Bada$$ Blue Charger you had before

good luck

thanks Bud, it will be a while before i can start on this, money permitting, i have to buy a house, holiday, and build a camper trailer all first, but at least i have one sitting ready to go. like i said everything is complete, never been touched ever and everything is still in it's place.

Jump on it like a kangaroo ..you have a great buy there ..man I would love find a 68 like that here for 10 grand U.S. or your money would be even better.. grab it

I don't think Darius meant too much I think he meant decent shape 68 Chargers for that fair of a price are hard to find ANYWHERE!!

Congrats on the new car brother can't wait to see you do your thing with it!
