If any of you have some cash burning a hole in your pockets and like 67 Coronet R/T's, here ya go. :yes: It would be hard to restore a project car to this condition for what their "buy-it-now" price is. This is not my car and I have no connection to it or it's owner, but it sure looks like a nice car. :yes:

Thats very nice. :yes: Ron

It's a nice car. I don't think they will get close to 35k in real bids though.

Before the economy went south, I think that R/T would have been snapped up in a heartbeat at that price, as an all original, numbers matching, big block car would be very hard to build these days for that amount. The 68-70 B-Body cars have sky rocketed in value as we all know and the 62-67 B-Body cars and the A-Body cars will be the next to shoot up in price, so if anybody wants one of these cars, now is the time to get one. :yes:

Hope you right. I'd sell both mine for 35k now no problem, might even through in the trailer too:wtg:

I bought my 70 Charger R/T for $2500.00 back in 1986 and it was a nice driver quality car. Sold it in 1988 after doing a lot of work on it for $6500..00 and thought that I did pretty well! :sigh: It's hard to find a rust bucket 70 Charger R/T these days for $6500.00 let alone a nice driver like my car was. I'd be VERY careful about letting your cars go these days unless you have MUCH deeper pockets than most of us have. ;) The R/T below was not mine, but is very similar to mine. Mine had a white interior with the black vinyl top and the FK5 Dark Burnt Orange paint and 15" Rallye wheels.

I can beat that, I sold my first GTX bought new in 67 in the early 70's with american mags on it for $400.00.
My older son will get my GTX, the Satellite will get sold eventually, neither my younger son or stepson could handle it, although they both want it.

I'm 53 years old and it sounds like you may be in that same general age group, so yes, we both can remember buying NICE muscle cars in the early 70's for $1,000.00 or LESS! :yes: But then again, everything else in our lives has gone up, but it seems to me that the price of our muscle cars and their related parts have gone up WAY faster than most other expenses in our daily lives, due to a couple groups of people who have done their best to ruin our hobby because of pure greed. By the way, do you remember gas costing $1.00 a gallon or less? :head_smack:

I have one 23 yeard old son who loves his 72 Dart Swinger, but he's more into making a name for himself in the music business than really getting into old cars like I've done in my life, so I haven't decided if my 66 Coronet will go to him, or to my long time best friend, who is 15 years younger than I am and who is a REAL Mopar guy. I guess time will tell on that. lder OS:

I'm 59 this October, I remember party lines and 29.9 regular gas. My older son remembers the GTX I sold. He told me a few years ago he remembered being mad when I sold it, he was maybe 5 or 6, anyway that's why he's getting it. I'm just a bit bored with it, been at it for a long time...

 

[thebankerstoy]

Are you getting bored with the cars in general, or just all of the b.s. that's going on in the hobby these days?

I know personally, my 66 Coronet will be my last muscle car, as I just can't justify spending what it costs today to start with a "driver quality" car and restore it back to something worth looking at you know? I'm trying NOT to even think about how much money that I've spent since 1989 when I bought my Coronet. on nos, new and restored parts for it's upcoming complete interior restoration, along with all of the cash that was spent on it's all new 1969 hp 440, it's all rebuilt heavy duty 727 transmission, it's all rebuilt and up-graded 8.75 rear end, the body and paint work, suspension and brake up-grades, wheels and tires and all of the other things that have gone into the car!

I guess that's why I was thinking that $34K for that beautiful numbers matching 67 Coronet R/T sounded like a VERY fair price!

Just the cars in general. The numbers matching term when applied to a 67 car doesn't carry the weight it normally would, if true, on a 68 and up car.You can match the fender tag SO numbers to the body but not really any vin stamped parts. I think they will be lucky to get half of that 35k in real bids for that car, regardless of what the resto cost was. We 66/67 guys are in the less sought after red headed step child category IMO.

 

[thebankerstoy]

I agree Gary, but being a little different is what makes being a "Mopar guy" that much more fun. :grin:

In 1970 I bought a 66 Chevell SS 396/375(Rare alum head and intake factory car) 4speed car with under 20,000 miles on it for $1400.00. You couldn't buy the rims for that price nowld_school:

I agree. However in my OPINION it is an ugly color.

Guys will argue over what I have to say here until the cows come home, but here goes.
You see this on these enthusiest sites all of the time where people talk about being sick and tired of the high impact colors and Black, Red or Blue, and enjoy seeing some of the odd combinations etc. The simple fact of the matter is that the vast majority of people STILL like the colors listed above and they sell quicker and for more money than the oddities. Many will also disagree but this is also true with cars that were ORIGINALLY painted a less desireable color and changed to one of the above colors. The brand specific enthusiest will tell you to keep a high dollar car the original color no matter what for value purposes. I disagree totally. I have owned over 150 special interest, classic, antique, and muscle cars over the past 40 years, and can tell you it has been my experience that as said above, they sell faster and for just as much if not more in a disirable color than some other bla color just because it is the original color.

The most recent PERSONAL example I can give you is a 1968 Hemi Charger R/T I sold in Feb. of 04 for my full asking price of $75K. This was all the money for this car at that time. The car was originally the Gold color of the subject car in this post. It was repainted 68 Dodge Red. When I purchased the car it was a two owner car, original drivetrain, B/S, Certicard, history back to the selling dealership, but in need of restortation. When I sold it was 98% done. The buyer said he would have preferred it if I would have kept the car the original color because he thought it might effect the value down the road, but he liked the Red better. This is the very point I am making, people buy based on eye appeal. I see a lot of cars for sale month after month that are really nice cars that would have been sold long ago if they were a more desirable color. People just have a hard time parting with their hard earned money for a nice car that they don't LIKE the color even if it IS the original color.

The old car buying public is a very large group and the vast majority buy what they want. The people that are make specific super educated about these old cars will tell you buy the car with the original color no matter what it is. The fact is, these are the very guys that will nit pic your car to death and offer you less for it that an average car buying enthusist will that will and over look the original color issue in favor of finding the car in the color they WANT.

Just my OPINION, let the games begin.

Yep, just like I said, "Just my OPINION, let the games begin."

It gives some of them something to argue about. I have no arguement as it is a matter of individual opinion. There are no winners in an arguement regarding this subject as it is subjective and a matter of individual taste. if it were a PROVEN fact that could assign a value to particular colors either way it would be an add or subtract item in pricing guides.
