What's it Worth '71 Charger

[Grizzlys Garage]

The '71 Charger shown above is a nice looking car, and I would love to have it, butt....

Check out what happened to this guy and his Corvette after he bought it from a dealer with the wrong rivets on the VIN tag:

1959 Chevy Corvette Seized by Police Returned to Owner After 5 Years With $28K in Damage

After six long years, Kansas police have returned a classic Corvette seized after it was found to have an improperly affixed VIN plate.

I think the car is going to be a hard sell. The VIN issue is going to scare away most buyers. Tabulate the sum of the parts and that is the number.

Completely agree. It's a tough sell but seems like a really decent car. IMO it would have been better off with the Charger VIN and "cloning" to an R/T. Cause then all paperwork is legit as the car it shows to be now is a serious collector car while the car it now is really isn't. My opinion would be 18-20k with the paperwork issues. Good luck with the sale and nice to see you being upfront with the issues...

Thanks for all the replies and advice ! I will see how it goes at the next couple of car shows.

I appreciate the feedback, especially since this car has “its issue”.

Thanks
