What to do with my '67 Charger

[chrisd]

It has been a year since I touched my Charger. Last year I worked a turnaround, then my mother passed away, and one reason(possibly excuse) after another and the shell is sitting where I left it. Only now it's got more garage junk stacked on top of it. I'm seriously considering letting it go despite the sentimental value. The car is worthless to me if I can't do anything with it. I'm curious if there is anyone (like me) who sees the value in a car completely torn down and filled with used parts. I won't let it go to the junkyard and be crushed. And I don't want to see it made into a racer of any type. Although in its current state, it's closer to that than a driver. So I'm wondering if three is anyone who might be interested in a car in this shape. No engine, no trans, interior is out and original, and worn to the point you wouldn't put it back in. It's a total resto or redo.

Im sure there are a few people interested. If you weren't in Texas I know some local guys that would be. Have more people want it for parts then to fix though.

I stripped down another '67 (first mistake) and stashed all the parts. Problem is they're all original and worn out parts. I've sold a lot of the good ones off. Got a small storage room full of stuff, just don't have the desire to go on.

By any chance would you have a rear bumper that will fit a 67 coronet?

 

[chrisd]

No, just Charger. Maybe two, but just Charger

I would gladly take it but I'm in Ohio and my current project has ran me broke. I really love the interiors of the old Chargers and they can look really sharp when done right. Good luck

Do you have any pictures? Price? Thanks

Take it from me, those first gen Chargers are nearly impossible to sell. They either have to be dirt cheap or someone just has to love that car. Me having a real hemi 4 spd car doesn't help with a sale one bit because if the person has $65K for my car they can find another $20K and just buy a real hemi RR. Even if the RR is not in perfect shape they would rather have that than the Charger. I know I would. Your best bet is to sell it to someone who will want a vintage MoPar (because functionally they are everything you could want in a B body) but can't afford the later 60's car prices. I will say the 66 has the best interior going!

Ok, I hope this works. I'm using my ipad. Here it is just as I left it. I was going to pull it out and clean it up, but as usual, something came up. As far as what I would ask for it, I honestly have no idea. I sold one shell without any parts last year for $250. I won't go that low on this one even with the work it needs.

Believe me I understand. I wouldn't have bothered with it, but the car was the first Mopar I had among other things and unfortunately, this is how it was when I got it back.

An original a/c car is definately worth more. How's $285.00 sound?

Where in tx are you. I would give you a fair price if not too far from Houston.

My 66 Coronet started out like your 67. It would be loved and carressed.

I drive to 610/Richey in Pasadena for work in about 45 minutes.

I like it. I think the big problem with these cars is that they don't look all that flattering stock, they need the right wheels, tires and stance but look great after that. Believe me I'd be all over it if I were down there.

 

[daredevil]

Close enough for me. Pm me a phone number and we can set a time I could look at it and see if we can make a deal. I,m in Rosenberg.

That must put mine with the hemi and 4 spd right at an even $300.00.

OK I'll take it for $300, hell I'll give $500 for it. Personally I'd take the Hemi first gen over the Hemi RR. Dare to be different.

What is the difference between a charger and coronet rear bumper? I'm looking for anything in good condition that will bolt up.

The car next to it is a '65 Rambler Ambassador. It's for sale as well if anyone's interested. All original.
