i don't know what you mean, in fact, i don't think anybody knows what you mean.

Not a thrift store pick up, not an e-thrift. Well does Craigslist count as an e-thrift? Picked up this beauty for way under value, deep discount, worthy of a brag.

You added a second before I could.

Right? Picture sold me...then the bike sold me...then resale value sold me even more. I will keep this for a while though, restore it, then flip (most likely)

The ad says it has a '72 440 in it = trash. and a spare '71 440. you could either drop 15k in it and have a 40k car, or strip it/ bead blast it,repair the rust. and sell as is for 10k.

It's an original R/T 440 car. a great starting point to a dream whip. i just hope it comes with all the trims and interior parts, lenses,grille,etc.... "Complete'? it's worth every dollar.

A diamond in the rough. and i'd roll the dice on it if i could.

just a bit rich for me........ an awesome deal for somebody with the funds to make a buck on it.

I think you would have to spend $40K to get this in shape to sell it for about $40K. Its a 71 NOT a 70. If a 71 has the Hemi 426, it could be worth some money in this shape because they made so few of them. But, I think most Mopar guys would tell you 70 is the last year a collector would really want.

At the end of 1969, my dad traded in his 68 Camaro convertible for a 70 Charger 440. He only got to enjoy it for a year before being sent overseas. When my parents got back and I was born in 1973 they traded it for a Buick Station wagon!

A Buick???

My buddy has a 69 Charger awaiting 'resto' as well.

That'd be a heck of an upgrade to my lowly 72 Duster. Haha. But seriously the Charger body style went to crap in the 70s

I'd put my hand up, but........ there is a pair of 80's Kawasaki's for $200 each locally. the catch? - they were under snow.......(waterlogged) rebuild before starting.... *sigh*
might kop one.... $200 is decent for a first bike.

quick sums, 10K body. (max) 2k for repro interior. engine rebuild kit has to be under 3k. and you have a fun puzzle for a week.

what else? Brake lines,Discs/pads master cylinder, hub bearings, universal joints, suspension components,repro exhaust, and all the small bits that you always forget to order.......
all the info to help is online. sometimes a picture can scare you away, but sometimes it can be more honest than a shiny polished turd. yes, it is super rough, but you'd need to rebuild any car from that time to do it properly. - I see a skeleton, and 3 months work. something gorgeous at the end. and when the grails dry up? this will be worth the investment.

Which direction are you going, style wise?

 

[Ds13]

Can some of the Florida guys hit me up?

I'll be in the Naples on vacation for a week starting tomorrow, wondering if it's worth trying to do any thrifting in the Naples/ft. Myers area. I'll only be going a few times (very casually as well) so I promise not to clean out your spots long term!

i love a good chat on this topic. happy to answer questions from people with problems with their cars. if your ride is broken? just ask .....

Having talked with @Thrift Vader the past few days, and we're on the topic of cars, here's my ongoing project. My first car, bought in highschool at $450 (local thrift???). 1984 T-Top Cutlass with 63,XXX original miles. Drove it throughout high school with the bogged down Olds 305 307 (shout out @Nobleprofessor for the correction, idk what I was thinking, I knew that!) then I needed something a little more. Upgrades include repaint, engine swap (SB350 block bought for $200 (steal)), transmission swap (rebuilt TH350), etc etc. It's my baby and I will never let it go. Now it's strictly a fair weather cruiser.

**Note original rims, not that DUB bull****
