WIW 70 charger 500

[BL1 70 RR]

Hey guys, I'm thinking about selling my charger 500 (cloned R/T) and I'm wondering what a fair price would be for the car. It has some rust bubbles forming and could use a fresh coat of paint. The rust is only surface rust and it can be sanded down. It has a 383 and it runs and drives pretty good. Thanks for the help

Interior is original, I don't have the fender tag or build sheet. The build sheet might be in the carpet or the back of the seat but I have never looked.

$1,800.00 would be a good price to buy it for.

A tee shirt goes along with it but the tee shirt costs about 20 grand, bad news is when you buy one you have to buy the other.

The rust bubbles on the lower side/sides are not from the surface. They come from within. Sanding would be only a first step for metal replacement.

18-20k? The bubbles are indicating deep rust underneath the rocker/lower quarter; luckily those are in spots that can be cut out and replaced with new metal. It will have to be cut out, no good alternative.

Is that a cardboard cut-out of a ripening banana on the pass seat?

I like the car, but agree that's not surface rust on the quarters.

Those rust bubbles are an indication of something not good as is the rust on the already replaced trunk floor pan and while it looks decent in the pictures, who knows what else is lurking under the paint. Unfortunately, it's a 500, not a R/T. One's got a (fully) restored value in the high 30's while the other has a restored value in the 50 grand range. All you have to do is figure out what it's going to cost to do the car over and deduct that from the fully restored value and then you have the car's true value.

lol nah that's the 1970 N96 air cleaner coyote duster sticker.

The rust in the trunk is probably surface rust from a moisture trapping trunk mat and can probably be sanded down and POR15'd, much easier to deal with than the bubbled areas.

Lord only knows, what's under that paint.

If only it worked that way....

I know that it doesn't really work that way, but I look at it as a buyer, not as a seller. If/when I get into another project, that's the way I will look at it. Of course there are variables, but one has to be practical.

Thanks for the replies, i thought about sanding down the trunk and repainting it but when I sell it I want to present it as is and not try and hide anything on it. I kinda figured around the low twenties high teens for price range. Yeah SlinktRR was right it was a new coyote duster sticker.

I see "we buy houses" signs that say "full assessed value minus repairs".

It's logical.
