1973 challenger with a 440 commando engine

['cruddy mutt']

Im looking at a 1973 challenger it is not a numbers matching car the owner of it now has put a 440 commando engine in it the car is ready for paint and the interior needs some work he is asking 6,500.00 and i would like to know if i get the car and do what's left to do is this a car worth doing? I would post pics but i dont have any yet the car runs and drives great just need some advice of what something like this car would be worth when it is done

[MEK-Dangerfield]

If all the body work is done, and it only needs paint. Then I say "yes".

The interior stuff is a pain, but it won't cost you an arm and a leg. Well, to clarify, seat covers, maybe $800, the dashpad, maybe $700, do the gauges work? Does it need carpet too?

['cruddy mutt']

Carpet is good and gauges all work just needs a dash and seats every thing else in the interior is in great shape

sounds like a good deal ... paint can cost a lot though depending what you want , as for what the car would be worth ... in todays market !! not a lot , are you buying to flip it or enjoy it , it would caost more than 6500 to get a good driving car together with a solid body

If it's solid it's a good deal.  No doubt.

[AARCUDADEN]

Like others have said if a soild car thats a real good deal.

[Street_Challenged73]

As long as the unibody structure is solid and the body isn't in bad shape, then I'd say that $6,500 is a solid price.

   6500 good price for a running 440 commando with only paint and interior.

Thanks for all the help i am buying it to enjoy it not to flip it

[Chryco Psycho]

Thanks for all the help i am buying it to enjoy it not to flip it

So the $ value of the car is less important , while it is nice to know you can get your $ back it is more about the value to you .
 Enjoy the car

I think the car is worth the 6,500.00 i will enjoy driving it with my wife and kids i was looking for a restore project but this came up and i think im going to go for it thanks for all the help and i will enjoy it to the fullest
