Found a project 69 charger...What would you offer the seller?

[KTO]

Hey, I have a lead on a 69 Charger that I'm thinking about buying. Just wondering what you would offer the guy $$$$ wise...

I dont have the VIN, fender codes, or pictures yet...I will post them this weekend.

The car is originally a 383 column auto with AC. Green on green.
A small block is sitting in it now not running.
The car is complete with the exception of no hood or fenders or tranny.
Very weathered from what I hear...
It needs trunk pans, lower quarter patches, rear frame rails, and rocker panels.

No title with the car...

Let's assume the car is 95% complete a bit rusty in the ass but straight and rebuildable.

I am thinking somewhere between $2000-$2500 (in rural midwest)


I will see how she looks Friday...I've been wanting a 68 or 69 charger for a long time...This one is only a couple hours away from me.

I am just worried about the rear frame rails, I've never done structural work before and I am wondering if I should grab it or wait for something a little more solid.

EDIT:  Reread the post, and, 2k sounds about right for this car, considering what it needs.

I'm just worried about the "no title" thing. The fenders bug me too. I dont think anyone makes repros.

We'll see how it looks tomorrow.

I'd say probably $2,000.00 would be a fair price for car.  The front end parts will hurt you quite a bit as will the structural repairs, but other than that it'd be alright.  If you're really set on having one, you may as well take it because you know most of the problems you listed can be fixed, it'll just take some extra time and effort. (too bad I got rid of my '69 Charger POS (rusty) 'cause you could've gotten the front end parts for a good deal.)

I'm going to go look at it this weekend.

I'm worried about the front and and title though.

I think I'd have better luck waiting and finding a southern car with a title for a few thousand more though....

We'll see.

I'm in no hurry. I still have the cuda to finish.

I wouldn't bother since it doesn't have a title if you had plans to keep it.

You might want to check with your DMV about what it would take to title the car. Sometime alot of trouble.

the car was no worth building. rotted frame rails, trunk, floors, no bumpers, broken glass, no fenders, hood, front end, motor tranny etc... I might have given him $500 if I needed a parts car...

Dang!  Well it was worth checking out...you never know until you look!

No worries. I have my eye on a 64 sport fury near by. I am thinking of building a crossram maxwedge to put in something like that. It would definately be something different...
