1968 Hemi GTX Value

[Mopars & Missiles]

If I were a cynical person, I would swear that the OP joined here with the express purpose of picking out brains to see what we think it should be worth and/or advertising the car for sale.

But I am not cynical and would never think that.

I got that impression too. Flipper.

Not my intent. I do buy and sell and I did want to pick your brains about price. With the January auctions coming up here in Arizona (Barret Jackson ect...) I am always looking for classics to buy. Like I said before I just don't have much experience with Mopar so I sincerely appreciate your input. Sorry if I offended anyone here.

Nah, we get it often.

Thanks, again, for sharing a very neat hemi car with us.

How is it possible for a car to be "almost totally original" and "completely restored" at the same time? Enquiring minds want to know? :shruggy:

It is the born with drive train, ALL original sheet metal, stainless and chrome. Suspension and steering linkage is original except for the shocks. All that was restored. The only repro is the seat covers, door panels, headliner, glass , tires and exhaust system. It has a fresh two stage paint job in the correct color. Everything that was originally painted black, was media blasted and powder coated. The third owner of the car bought it in 1977 and owned it until 2007. It was only ten years old when he bought it and was completely original. All he did was change the oil and routine maintenance. It was completely restored in 2007 by the new owner. Every original part was still with the car.

My apologies for blowing my horn, but that happens sometimes when your ego gets carried away. Any Hemi GTX from the 60's, IMHO, is a very desirable car to own. It was a very expensive option so not many were built compared to the total numbers. Mopar was way ahead on many areas in the 60's. They were building unibody cars without heavy frames, the Hemi was an incredible design although complex, and the Torqueflite automatic really set the bar for transmissions. Any original 67,68, or 69 Hemi GTX with paperwork is a rare find and will be considerably more
valuable. I smile everytime I look at my car and gets goosebumps when that Hemi fires up

What makes you guys think it has been repainted from the video and the pics?

anybody go?

I was there. Car sold for 83.5K with a 10% sales fee. Buyer will end up paying 91K for the car. Neat car because it was a true time capsule but WAY overpaid for in my opinion.

Wow!

Can't say I didn't tell you so......

Not if it was a true time capsule and that's what people want. You can find a restored hemi car with the click of a button but to find something like you found.....worth every cent
