1970 "V" Code Challenger Convertibles that have sold or are available? Anyone?

[shawnmid]

Have you guys seen any "V" code Challenger convertibles sell in the last few years? I've been looking for comps as I do have one for sale but I can't seem to find anything. I did find a couple of Cuda V code convertibles that brought only 80k and 130k at BJ's but I heard they were rebodied cars? Any information you guys might have would be greatly appreciated. I hope everyone is doing well out there.

Thanks,
Shawn

Hi Shawn,

I have. I will research a little for you. it might take a few days.

May I learn a little more about your car? Perhaps we could e-mail?

There was a FC7 with purple V code Challenger convertible for sale on Moparts and maybe ebay too within the last year or so, that didn't seem to be finding a buyer very quick.  It was priced below 100K IIRC. I thought it would sell pretty quick if it was legit but I don't know if it sold or what for.
Then there have been a few of those early build red/red promo Challenger V code verts listed recently, I think one is for sale now asking $265K but not sold yet.
Those are the only V code Challenger converts I remember seeing for sale in the last 1+ year and I watch Challenger sales on ebay and several of the auctions on an ongoing basis.  There just aren't that many out there to begin with so trying to determine a value by comps is a tough job.  It may well be that none have sold in a few years.
I bought a JS23V1B car at an auction last year that I started bidding on because the bidding seemed low to me, and was surprised I ended up owning it for what I bid.  Even with those, I find trying to estimate a value based on recent sales of similar cars to be near impossible to do, as so few show up for sale in public forums like auctions or classifieds.  8 months after I bought this car, I still have no idea if I got a good deal or not!

Ola,

Yes I have one on consignment. Please feel free to shoot me an email to shawn at mmbrokers period com and I'll forward over full details. It was recently frame off restored. We had I priced in a few areas years ago at 295k but since the down turn, the owner dropped his price drastically. So we are at 200k at this point. It is a B5 blue 4 speed V code car. It is exceptional.

Jh, you're absolutely right. Determining values in this market seems rather difficult. I've watched some things bring great money while others have fallen flat. Thank you guys so much for the feedback. I truly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Shawn

If it is a real V code Challenger vert. Max value would be out of an authentic & correctly restored car. Since the car appears modified heavily, it doesn't matter that it is a v-code car. The work done to the car would have been better suited for any  other Challenger vert with a 318 etc.

A client of mine recently sold his OE certified 70 Challenger vert for well into the 6 figure range.

I just don't think you could pull big money out of that car. But again, this is my opinion.

If a real V code and authentified, I say it's worth 100K as it sits.

I agree that the car is modified, heavily???  I dont think so.  All I can see that is hurting that car cosmeticly is the color of the shaker, the wrong color on the rallys and centers.  The dash needs to be switched to the standard or rally dash and a tuff wheel or year correct steering wheel installed.  The engine and engine bay looks like simple bolt on fixes eg. correct radiator.  The car is about 1k away from being a #2 over all numbers quality resto and should get "Big Money".  IMO.  Its got a good color and the interior looks new so I can see this car selling.  Good luck.

This car was restored by Mike Mancini's American Muscle Car Restorations, Inc. located in North Kingstown, RI 401-267-0055 It is the only one in existance that has been OE certified.

That one on e-bay would qualify probably as a #1 condition car.  What's the car you're selling? #1 or #2?

I doubt it has the pedigree of the e-bay one.  Shaker car?  That would be the only thing that would make it equal to the ebay one as far as content/desirability.

six pack 'Cudas sell for 80k to 100k at BJs?  Doubt it; probably clones or 340/383s w/a 440-6 transplanted.

4-speed or auto?

If I had big money, I'd buy that red ebay car in a NY minute as it is probably the best Challenger 'vert out there short of a Hemi.

Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback. Those photos that I have are from about five years ago. The car has since been tore completely down and brought back closer to factory specifications. It is a very nice car and it is a true "V" code convertible. The VIN matches the cowl and core support. The one on eBay, I don't know much about. I had a gentleman who inquired about mine and actually mentioned that one to me. He was kind of negative about it but then again, I don't know that guy nor the owner of the red one so, it's difficult to say. It does seem fairly impossible to find any real comp's at this point. I'm considering possibly listing it on eBay.

Of the supposedly 5 1970 Dodge Challenger v-code Convertible N96 cars. Does anyone have any photos that they could post of any of the 1970 convert shaker cars?

Just spit balling here, but I would think the best idea if you wanted to help sell the car would be current pictures, not ones from 5yrs ago. The higher the desireability of a car, the more it is worth in stock original condition unless converted since day two.

There appears to be a lot of issues with those photos linked above. I would not even consider a car that looks that modified if priced above 100k.
