If you had a choice

[300]

Hi, all, Came upon some cars today beside a barn, These are project cars for sure, they have be sitting for 8 years, some have broken glass, all need complete interior, most exterior stuff still there, like I said complete resto,floor pans etc, frames all good. Some have partial motors, all have front and rear suspension,hard to see all of them with boards on them etc, there is 2- 68 R/T chargers, 1-69 R/T charger, 1- 70 Charger and 1- 69 Coronet Super Bee, owner said these all came from Oklahoma.

Question, if you could pick one and give me your order of preference, which one would you choose and could you put a valve on them in order. Thanks

all depends on motor and trans combos as well.restored 68 rt chargers still seem to hold the best $$$$$.

Ya, can't really tell, could,nt get around to see, All tight together, was able to look at frames etc, motors are not complete, and could not see #,s on rear ends, Fellow would,nt let me take pics, But did say he might sell 1 or 2

I like the 68 R/T cars. But asking value online to a bunch of people who cannot see them is impossible, especially since you cannot see them too well in person.

I would take the the one that needed the least amount of body work and had the largest/best percentage or amount of expensive to replace or repair parts intact with the car (or needed the least repair) as long as it had the fender tag, body numbers matched VIN etc and had a title or in states that only require bill of sale, a bill of sale will not be a problem. In other words look at each car as a whole, best body, interior all there, console, buckets for cores, rear seat core, dash core, ralley dash complete, tick toc and other options, 8 3/4 vs Dana, Auto on column vs floor vs 4 speed (definitely with 4 speed higher) etc overall.

Pick the best overall car that is an R/T, then Super-bee, over a base Charger in that order if I'm understanding the valving part of your questions correctly LOL.

Actually had the opportunity to do exactly this with my brother one time. He had about 10 68-70 Plymouth project B-bodies to choose from, a several RRs, a couple GTXs, some satellites, etc. to pick from. Of the 10 we narrowed it down to 4 fairly rust free, fairly straight running cars. 2 RR, 1 GTX, and a clone were running driving cars. Immediately focused on the "badge cars" and picked the 69 383 4 speed, A/C, 3.91 SG (in it) RR over a 383 auto RR and the GTX auto car. The one we picked had the best overall value to my brother based on overall condition, fender tag options, 4 speed, and needed fairly basic stuff to get in on the road as a daily driver.

Thanks, From what I could see the 1-70 and 1- 68 where two most intact of all, meaning seats where still mounted and not upside down and stacked with rest of interior thrown in car. I know with no pics but anyone got a ballpark price they would pay for a roller Thanks

I would take the best 68's.Rusty rollers I see sell 5k-6K all the time, R/T's sell for more.

 

[Chargen]

I guess I would go with the Bee as first pick followed closely by the 68 RT.

 

[300]

Looks like 68 R/Ts are the fav, see one would go for Bee, I thought the bee would be the 1.st choice

 

[1970 roadrunner lover]

i would choose the super bee then a 68 r/t charger

 

[roadrunnerman]

If they all looked like about needing the same thing, I myself would pick the 70 charger first (personal opinion) then the 2 68 R/T's, then the super bee. You don't know if any of them had a 4-speed (bonus), I wouldn't pay more than $3000- $3500.

All of them would be great to have, but the 68/69 R/T Chargers seem to be in higher demand and easier to sell in todays market. A 4-speed would definitely be a bonus.
