74 Challenger

[Got JOB]

I am thing of selling my 74 that I have owned 23 years. Need some thoughts on current prices. Over the past 23 years, maybe 15k miles, many items have been replaced. The car is factory triple black, 318, 904 auto, pdb, ps. It now has a 71 340 .040, steel crank .010/.010, KB243 pistons, stock reconditioned rods, balanced assembly, comp 260H mild cam, reworked 1.88 heads, stock rockers, stock intake with a Holley spreadbore carb. A/C is sanden compressor with BPE brackets, works very well. Has Dougs headers with Walker mufflers. A 727 that has been rebuilt, TCI sat. nite spec. converter and TCI deep pan. Poly trans mount and a balanced drive shaft. The rear is a 742 case with 3:23 gears, Moser green snap ring bearings, Epso 1 1/2 over springs. Seats are original, carpet and headliner replaced, Just Dashes dash pad, and panels redyed. The rallye dash is orig to car. Oil and temp gauges do not work and the amp gauge has been by-passed. It has Cragar 15x7 with BFG 235/60 and 245/60 tires in good condition. Car was painted in 97 and has always been parked inside. It has never been sanded and rebuffed since painted. Paint is very good. No panels have been replaced that I know of except front and rear valances. Has a small place on the hood where the hood hinge corner punched  when the hood was put on. Very little rust in the entire car, always been a GA. car. Has fender tag, build sheet, owners history, orig bill of sale. Also the front end has been rebuilt and new torsion bars added. A very good road car that has been on several Power Tour legs, Cruisin the Coast and other shows out of state. Probably a lot that I missed. I don't have to sell , but I never drive it since I have gotten my Aspen wagon and built a 340 and put in it. The wagon has become my road car.

Just came to say nice car and I am anxious to see what people say I am thinking about unloading mine after I put the 360 in it.

The 72-74 don't get the love that the 70/71 do. However, your car is tastefully done.  With the upgrades you have done here are my estimates:

15,000 to 18,00 if you want to move it fast.

18,000 to 22,000 if you don't mind sitting on it for awhile.

22,000 + = finding the right buyer who absolutely has to have it.

Good luck with your sell.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like my 73, being that it's triple black. Very nice car BTW. If you listen to what Alan said on some of his posts, the 71's don't get much love either, or at least as much as they should. the 72-74 market is limited and you would do well posting on ebay for max exposure.

HEY....I was going to say that

This is interesting to me, as I also, have a triple black 74, only mines a 360 4 speed car. I'd part with a significant piece of anatomy to have mine in as nice a shape as yours. Park that old Aspen and give the Challenger a second chance!

Thanks for the suggestions and comments. The 74 is a great and enjoyable car. I have run out of room and have a truck project but need the inside storage after it is done. The Aspen wagon is a fun ride and you don't have to worry when you take it out and park it somewhere about a door ding or whatever. Just wanted to get a feel for prices as I have never sold any of my cars. Might have to get a market feel for the T/A in a few years. Thanks again.
