"This car, when it is done, is worth over $60,000 to 80,000."

To who?  Have you seen the market lately?  If it was a Hemi car it wouldn't be worth that when done. :screwy:


1968 Cornet R/T Hemi-$89k... and this one is an automatic....

$80k http://www.oldcaronline.com/ocdetail142720.htm


Article:http://underthehood.oldcarsweekly.com/CommentView,guid,b71d5d5f-e99e-407b-b139-403eefaf6959.aspx

"Do I think $80,000 is a good offer for the Hemi Coronet R/T owned by my co-worker’s fiancée? If it’s a 1967, that sounds like a fair price. If it’s a 1968, I think it’s a little low considering most people consider 1968 Coronets more desirable than 1967 models. I hope my coworker and her fiancée hang on to their prize and enjoy it for a few years before selling it. "

 :money: 1968 DODGE CORONET R/T 426 HEMI 4 speed: Price: $159,950.  :faint:  That's with plain ole steel wheels!  :money:

wait a min, I agree about jumping on the guy for his finished price remark is wrong, but dont even for one second put his car in the category of the A12 and the hemi car, thats just insane, a 440 rt wont bring half of what them 2 will.

Tony, fishn4cuda is currently restoring my buddies 69 Coronet R/T vert 4 speed Dana car. So far there's 40K into it.
Sometime early next year it should be completed.

Not comparing the two.
In response to chargerdave's comment on a Hemi car not worth 80k.
The finished ebay listing shows a somewhat accurate idea of the current value.

It would be nice to see more pictures, larger pictures of this car. Top , bottom, inside and out. I really think it is a good deal. If I could afford this car, I would be checking it out.

 :iagree:  Exactly why I posted those ads.  :grinyes:  I think all of us can agree that a Hemi car is worth more than a 440 car, just a point a reference for chargerdave.  :thumbsup:

Here is the ebay link   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150300668519&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fmotors.search.ebay.com%3A80%2F%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D150300668519%26fvi%3D1

That A12 car that was on ebay was an exceptional example, the market is in the tank for restorable cars. Kinda like the NYSE, down about 50% :smilielol:

WOW!! This isn't a Viper board!! No need to bash this guy. I think the price you are asking is very fair, probably not a 60-80k car, but your asking price is very reasonable. Good Luck

Wow, I agree.  This is the first time I've seen this type of sniping since I've joined.

Really??   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Investment-Grade-1969-1-2-Dodge-Coronet-Superbee-A12_W0QQitemZ250299093543QQihZ015QQcategoryZ6200QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


Comparing apples to oranges. That Superbee is one of the rarest ones made, and big difference in value between a Coronet and a Bee. I agree with the others that the car is priced fairly, its just the NADA inspired resale value thats off. Now lets everyone be nice, cause this is starting to sound like Moparts.

Thanks guys for all your support. I guess when I made my statement, I assumed everybody knew what the car was worth but i was trying to be hopeful. I assumed wrong. I can't store this car forever or even wait for the market to turn around. So if I get more for it at the crusher than I do selling it to someone that wants to restore it, then I will. I considered restoring it myself, but if no one wants it now for a cheaper price, then no one is going to want it for a higher price when it is done.
