What would you buy???

:iamwithstupid: I agree... for those prices, for any of those three cars shown, there are far better deals out there, for cars with far less issues, more complete &/or running & driving or especially far less RUST/Cancer.... of those 3 the Charger is probably the most complete looking, but still way to high of a price for a unregistered, probably either a salvage or not registered for a decade titled issues { I don't know how it is, to get a car, like that, registered in your state, but more expenses either way}, on a non-running or driving, rusted incomplete car... By the way, the parts are readily available for the 68-69 GTX's/Road Runner's/Satellite's/Belvedere's all day long, probably even more so, than the 71 {72-74} Charger's or R/T's or maybe even the 68-69 Coronet's/Super Bee's Even, parts availability will be a key issue, money well spent, especially when bringing a car back from the dead/rust hell.... And especially when they are not complete cars, all the numerous little parts, screws/hardware, glass, grill, hood, sheet-metal, interior, trim, emblems, drive train, wheels for Mopars isn't cheap, lights, lenses, running lights & assemblies, marker lights, they are not all being reproduced, for all 3 type cars... Some of the parts will need to be sourced, from some seriously :werd: unscrupulous sellers, that think their rusty old parts are worth "their weight in Gold", instead of the rust that they are... I would highly suggest you do some serious research, on what parts you need, make a serious plan/outline, check prices & availability, long before you let alone make any offer or let alone actually buy, any of those 3 cars shown earlier... Much better available car scenarios out there, maybe not in your state, but a little travel-time & money, will be money way ahead in the long run or scheme of things, think smart buy smart, budget well & stick to a plan... I'm done, good luck
 
First I need to nail down what I have, lol...
 
Whoah, hold up. After seeing pictures of these things and what he is asking i would say no to all of them. I was under the impression they were in better shape or even running. You are talking about making payments are cars that need major restorations. You will have a car payment every month plus the cost of trying to build? Thats nuts. And those prices? For that kind of money I would have a running driving car. I would hold out. I gotta laugh a little really. 6K for the 69? That thing isn't worth 1K much less 6.

I agree...I didn't know there were rusty shells only and not running cars...in that case, I officially remove my vote of the GTX and say find something else worth your money

I would go with either a '68 GTX or a '69 Coronet. I would not consider any of those three cars pictured. way over priced. There are plenty of better, complete cars out there. I paid $9k for mine a few years ago. solid body except for the 1/4s, new interior, rebuilt engine. been driving it since I got it.
 
68 gtx...great car...has a pedigree unlike the clone car
 
id go with the 71 charger for the simple fact, i dont t have one yet....and i have a question..... now when i ask this question...i dont want a bunch of smart assed answers....im just curious......here it is.....

whats the fascination with the car color painted steel rims with those hideous dog dish poverty hubcaps? is this a correct thing? and why are they usually on a hemi equipped car ?

i personally like black steel wheels with chrome lug nuts, but like some poverty / dog dish hub caps like the 68 plymouth ones on body painted wheels.

cause thats what hemi cars came with. Me personally, i love that look. And i think its kind of a mopar thing, but not really. I have seen 427 camaros with them. Its just a tough look. A " i put money under the hood, not in the wheels" kind of look. The anti-bling if you will.
 
...not to mention a "that taxicab looking thing just kicked your ***" kind of thing.
 
Those are some junk cars for allot of dough. You can do better. Hell I could have done better with my latest project. But hind site..

My vote would be with the 71 Charger R/T.

I would agree. I personally think you can find "MUCH BETTER" for 6000-8000.

I would also agree, of the three combos you listed I would go with the 71. :grin:

I would say the best thing to do is keep an eye on the for sale section of this very fbbo forum. there are a ton of deals that show up. There is a 69 road runner there right now for 8800. I look at that car, and compare it to the 69 coronet for 6000. Its a no brainer. It would take way more than 2800 bucks to get the coronet in the shape the road runner is in, and even if you did all the work yourself and somehow managed to do it for 2800, its still only a coronet. Just food for thought. cars turn up all the time.
