Yet Another What's It Worth! RUSTY '70 Challenger 340

[bulletpruf]

Found a '70 Challenger 340.  No fender tag, but checks out as a 340, 4 bbl Challenger, I think.  VIN begins with BH23G2B.  She's got major cancer - will need quarters, full floorpan, fenders, a trunk, at least one rear frame rail, etc.  Roof has a weird looking splice in it, too, so might need to replace that, too.  Owner thinks it has a 318 in it, but he's not sure.  Has an auto (727?) and an 8 3/4.  Has R/T tags and hood (yep, it's rusty), but not an R/T.

Interior is in lousy shape, but it's all there.

Car does not have a fender tag.

Owner wants $1500. 

Here's what I'm wondering -

Are folks saving cars that are this far gone?  If so, what's a fair price?  Is it worth my while to part it out?

Thanks!!!

HONESTLY I say buy it.  The rear full 1/4's are avail. I spoke with goodmark and they will test fit the fronts in a couple of months if they work they will be out within 6.  They make the hoods if needed.

To me if most of the trim ect is there I say it is worth it.  Heck it will be worth that much in parts or more.

  If it's VIN begins with BH23G2B you're looking at a 72 Barracuda...looking forward to the pics

You know I looked right by that. You would be correct.  Still maybe a good parts car if nothing else.  I need a few parts.  LOL

post some pics, cant really judge it without pics

Sorry, that VIN was from another car.  The VIN on  this one is JH23H0B1XXXXX.  Assuming this translates to a regular Challenger 340, right?

Don't have any pics of the Challenger, sorry.

Anyway, here's the deal - if I buy the car, I'll probably just resell it.  If I don't pick it up, it will probably sit there until it rusts completely away.  Also would like to know what is valuable on a car like this if I part it out - dash?  Seats?  Tranny?  Rearend?  340 (it's a small block, but not sure which one)?

Anyway, I'm trying to save some $$$ for a SWEET Mopar that I'm trying to buy.  Don't care to tip anyone off as to what it is, but trust me - y'all will be quite proud of me if I get it...

Thanks!

Grille?  Taillights, Headlight bezels, roof? (I could use one), Motor, tranny depends on what they are. I have seen some 340's going for 1000+ here.  Rear depends again on what it is.  A/C or heater core box, Cowl area, I mean someone can chop that thing up and make some dough.

Ok, I guess I'll pick it up.  Maybe someone will want it complete, but if not, I'll crank up the Sawzall...  Will let y'all know when I get it.

Thanks,

Bulletpruf, I'll be waiting to see some pics of it.  It sounds pretty rough, but if it has a 340 that'll already be more than half the purchase price. (they usually go for $850-1,000.00 for a decent assembly)

[bulletpruf]

I'll post pics once I have it.  Don't know if it's a 340 or not.  Owner thought the car had a 318, but he's not real sharp on these things...  Hoping that it's got the original 340.
thx,
Scott
