What’s the going rate for a black/black 440/4spd turn key in weekend condition these days?

Double what it was in 2020.

This is still prime driving and show season and most people will still be using their cars even if they are planning on putting them up for sale. Keep looking and checking all your sites daily if possible, and in a couple months once the weather starts to turn there is usually a bit of an influx of cars for sale.

It's not a charger or an R/T but there was just posted here on this site a stunner of a Orig 68 GTX. Lots of mechanical goodies. Not sure of all that other comfort stuff you're interested in. But I'd check it out because it's really a beauty - $68k. I just saw it on todays postings. Gray with black stripes. A beautiful combo. If I were looking - I'd give this one a very serious look. Manitoba, Canada. @SRT_Blubyu

I can't see a lot on my phone but your ad could have timed out because of inactivity or there were multiple ads open.

 

[SRT_Blubyu]

Only had one… but since it locked i started another. Hanks for checking!

Guess thats not gonna happen.. vintage air it is. Factory 4spd is more important! This is a car to drive out of passion and engagement.

4 Spds are definitely more 'fun' to drive..... but in my experience somewhat slower ?
Mines a '69 440 Magnum/Auto un-restored, un-rebuilt, BONE-stock.... and I've lost count of the B-Body 4-sticks I've beaten in friendly challenges ?
I believe alot of the problem is rpm related .....
just say'in, I leave mine in "D" and let it shift by itself which it does right around 4,800- 5,000.... and it never fails I can hear yippee dippy shift stick bang'in ALOT higher thinking he's goin faster...... he ain't !
All they're doing is racing well into the downside of the power curve past 5K.... hence.... I can walk right on by them.
Morale of the story..... IMO, just shift the damn 4 stick earlier if it's stock ?

 

[SRT_Blubyu]

yea.. the 4spds have more engagement in the experience.. Id consider an auto also if the other options/condition/price mix is correct.. still hunting..

 

[Bighouse]

Get the auto and stick an overdrive 5 speed in it

Here's one for you .....

1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 4-Speed

Bid for the chance to own a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 4-Speed at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #85,804.

bringatrailer.com

 

[440 PHIXX]

Sold for just under $70k. So with tax and BAT fees about $75k. I guess that was a good deal?

 

[xs-ivv]

Looks like a nice car. What do you think is going on with this fender to grill gap though. Aftermarket fender? Or just a weird angle of the picture?

 

[SRT_Blubyu]

that was a good buy for sure..white is not my thing.. but that was well bought and nicely optioned!

Crappy bodywork. The car had a bunch of flaws, but nothing that couldn't be rectified.

 

[SRT_Blubyu]

that one has nothing on this one..

1969 Dodge Charger

sigh... started out looking promising..but then.
