6T8 Charger
Well-Known Member
In August 2021, I bought a Charger on eBay, sight unseen for $16,000. It was mostly a complete car but was missing the original engine and transmission + some other parts. Included in the sale was a 440 engine and spare transmission.
The car arrived on a transport truck, as seen below. The transport industry is shady and we had to unload this car off the truck without a winch, and that was dangerous. You can see what kind of shape the driver side quarter panel was in.
The car came with a clean title and the fender tag was present, no build sheet under the rear seat. The car was equipped from the factory as follows: 383 c.i.d. 2-bbl auto PS PB a/c with buckets + the buddy seat. Exterior paint = white, black vinyl top with red interior. Fortunately, the frame rails, floorboards, crossmember and the underneath of the car were all in great shape. The car was from Texas. A previous owner had replaced the trunk pan and rear valence. The welding wasn't the greatest, but I fixed it. The floors are original, it just needed a small patch on front driver side.
I was fortunate to find a 1968 Plymouth Fury III that had been wrecked. It was a 383 c.i.d 2-bbl car with automatic transmission and column shift, just like the Charger. The Fury was a little cold-blooded, but ran and shifted good. I used this as a donor car. It came in handy.
