What I’ve learned is eBays the seller will be more likely to respond if you offer a certain amount doesn’t always mean something. high obo like a project car I’ve seen at 35000 obo for a non matching numbers a66 340 car that needed restoration might have sold at 15000-20000.

This is on my dads account because it was already logged in. Had to get this-this increases all my real green interior. A ebody steering column wire harness with the Mopar casting. Fringes of rarity when dealing with partless cars or cars that was once parts cars like mine..

I’m sometimes posting at for e bodies-alien experiment. I’m going outside now to sand. I have to sand under the hood, under the fenders, engine bay,doors,quarter panels and more before next weekend so me and dad can paint. Then it’s reinforcing the front frame rails-welding lap welds in the floor pans to frame rail,and fixing the rusted out spots on the transmission frame rail to make sure it can hold 800-1000 pounds more in front. The entire car works as a frame I learned.

I sand blasted the fender awhile back and painted em black.. I remember when I look over the car and looked at all both fenders rusted out and one door to terrible looking I looked at eBay saw a door 700 fender 500 another fender 500 a cowl I was going to do to conceal the secret vin code another hundreds of dollars,radiator support another hundreds of dollars,floor pan,two frame rails front and back, quarter panels and it all amd I got so depressed feel into this deep depression. These fenders look better.. when working in depression it’s hard to try and make a car stand out without buying everything new..

Every piece on this car has at least pits-to make this into a grade A car impossible without professional assistances it’s just to much to conceal it’s true nature that’s why I showed the car as a swapped vin code car not out of the kindness of my heart.. it needs bondo to conceal the pits.. but I think mad max car will stand out alittle bit..

Dave doesn’t follow the challenger market like me so it’s really not his fault-he thought the value was correct and I stand corrected there by learning about the market… I had the same ideology as Dave.. but when he had a green 1971 challenger been up for years now still on his page that wasn’t 8500 but 6500 when selling this car for 10000 he must have not looked the car over while lying saying a body man of his did some work…
He told me his body man replaced the quarter panels so it was attention on this car-someone knew blue dash,secret vins welded up and immaturely glued a black dash cover over the blue dash to cover up while silicone a black dash cover over a blue dash… I’ve calmed down a lot over the years so I understand Dave’s lie-I don’t think anyone worked on this car while it was in Dave’s possession at Dave’s classic cars… I look up Dave’s classic cars every know and again and think wow it’s challengers on eBay that sell quicker than a 1971 green challenger that’s 8500…
Dave messed up,I messed up,and others messed up-it’s all our faults..

Back window shell part is rusted in a tight place and also I would have to cut good metal I’m not going to fix it. I think they make AC plugs-I don’t think I’m going AC-to many small holes and rusted out places I can’t get to without doing more damage it’s like a brain surgeon somethings I just can’t do…
I have a non trim door and a trim door so I’m going different sides one chrome trim one not.. be cool with blue doors with green paint..

Just remember to carefully grind away all traces of paint and rust before you weld. Contaminated metal won't weld properly.

A piece of little sheet metal was 25 dollars.. I’m primed now its a b when trying to build a car in the single parts buying market in this country right now.. it’s best a car shop just buy bulk of single parts in thousands a piece and place em in a storage unit employees can go to.. I got the denatured acholol to wipe down all the dust-it dries quick..

Think about employees always driving your business vehicle to Lowe’s every day for parts-it’s expensive to buy single parts.. it’s best to have a storage of replacement parts and more that you bought in the 1980s to use for things that have inflated in this age…

Everyone of them items came from businesses linked to businesses by bills Vice versa-everyone has to pay the light bill,other material bills to make lacquer and more on that table,pay land taxes,and pay sells tax and more so that’s what’s causing inflation is jumping up thr price that makes millions who buy at Lowe’s have to up the value of their homes and more after the restoration I guess.. it’s a money pit to buy a partless,rusted out in 60 places car in this market right now..
We need have the military during martial law on Odessa force people to decrease all the bills connected to other people who are forced to decrease their bills so then everyone can get back to the old days I guess..

My bad y’all I just get uneasy with this car because I know in my heart it’s a money pit and it’s hard to digest thoughts into happy thoughts-I’m trying to reverse engineer the negativity into positivity-but working on the car I can’t help but think about the car-i probably am never going to sell it but I like to have a healthy value when looking at something without thinking this is a high risk..
