Question for Mopar and or Muscle car guys

[Anton]

Thanks a piece of me aches for this car because I will NEVER be able to afford a HEMI car or even a numbers matching 440 6 PACK car. You can't buy them for under 50k these days. It was kind of a last ditch effort to have something close to "one real deals" at a common mans price. Betting the farm on it is just a hard thing to do!

Yeah, I understand your situation completely. Just make sure you cover all your bases before you buy it. Definitely get a professional inspection before you buy it. The frustration and heartache that awaits if you buy your dream car for a good deal only to find its a rustbucket under that paint isn't something I wish upon you.

Good luck and good driving!

Good advice right there.

I would find out all you can but my guess is you won't lose money. But you can't know for sure, the tree hugging may completely outlaw older cars some day. It would be a real nice car to fix up and drive, take to car shows, etc.

The sad part is, 1978-82ish, when those things were like $1999-4000..

Marlin,

You Hit the mail on the head right there!!! Like I have said in my past posts I used to have (at age 16 now 41 so 85'ish) a #s matching 70 Challenger 440 RT/SE that I bought in cherry condition with low miles for $1900 back then. I sold it to a collector who paid me $6500 less than a year later. One of the biggest mistakes in my life!Talk about the fish that got away. One of the biggest regrets in my life was selling that car! Trying to replace that I am not sure is possible But I am trying to come close!!!

I'm not any help with your question, but here's something interesting. One of my best friends in high school used to find decent challenger and charger bodies, and travel all over the state, and surrounding states finding the parts to build them back. He did it for fun, not really to make money. Of course the one he drove full time was awesome. My biggest mistake was not buying one from him. He'd have sold one to me relatively cheap. He would get all excited when he'd find a no rust special challenger like an rt/se. I knew nothing back then except his cars were cool.

Your friend is just the guy I would love to pay to take a look at this car for me!

I know he'd love too. I wish I knew where he was. I lost touch with him, because he couldn't stand my girl friend. Damn she was an evil bitch.
