Does anyone want to take a guess? I am thinking north of 150K...

 

[Nvrenuf]

At least $250k.

There’s some Dumbo that’s into B bodies (even with the marker lights still in the sides of it lol) that will give 250k for that car. Dunno if there are two tho?

Seems everyone like these days wants plastic flares and a sunroof

 

[Ace1894]

Oh there’s at least a dozen dumbos out there that’ll pay that. 68-70 Charger prices make Jeffery Dahmer look sane. People regularly pay 20k+ these days for a vin tag sitting on a pile of rust.

With dodge going all electric.. dont think gen 2 Chargers are getting any cheaper... unfortunately. I'd bet $200k-$250k easily. That car is really clean.. there is a youtube vid of it somewhere that goes more in depth.

They would get more if it was not painted in glossy primer. In any case, I'm going to say 275k.

 

[Michigander]

Cool build 😎but color combination is not my thing but someone will pay 300k plus. That’s a ton of power to harness on a 6 speed manual, great tire frier but launching is going to be tricky.

 

[Ace1894]

Look at some of the completed auctions on EBay for what total basket cases go for. It’s astonishing. And then the resto costs on these things is in the stratosphere if you’re not doing all the work yourself. Even then it ain’t cheap. Crazy days. I remember a time when you literally couldn’t give these cars away fast.

Cool car. Some rich dude with more money than he knows what to do with will buy it.

 

[srt_blubyu]

anyone know what the final result was?

 

[807HEMI]

anyone know what the final result was?

It did not reach the reserve. Top bid was $150,000.

 

[Yzfguy06]

What was the reserve?

 

[SickToo]

It’s sorta like eBay. Ya find out once it’s been passed and the reserve comes off

I was right ha. There weren’t 2 in the room
