Hey Dave

I attended the auction that the 1969 Charger was sold at. I believe it was said to have been appraised at $220,000

I posted information on the car and final auction price on another website to feel out reactions.
Here are three of the replies I received.

"I think the color was holding it back. Green on green is probably the worst color combo you could order, maybe brown on brown could tie it. The right color could fetch another 30-40k IMO."

"Wrong auction, wrong colour, wrong location, market correction...............how much is the economy influencing prices ?

How much is demographics influencing Mopar and other muscle car prices ??? "

"And wrong appraisal................. "

Trent, none of those are valid arguments. Plain and simple it was the wrong city and auction for that car. We had four cars in the auction, those vehicles were only bid up to about 30% of the reserves we had in place. Our reserves were realistic.

I had advised my friend to buy the Charger 500. I know the owner of the shop that the car was restored at the owner of the car at the time was into the car for a little over $400,000.00. Car was restored using nos and original parts only. All parts are correct part numbers and date codes. All assembly line and inspection paint dabs and markings and on the car. The 2.6 points it lost were for the wrong date code alternator fan belt and side door cat whiskers.

Car was previously sold for more then the $220,000.00 you've listed above.

Reserve wasn't met on the car and bidding stalled...auctioneer revealed the reserve and asked if we would bid against ourselves to meet the reserve.

Restorations and cars of this caliber are recession and economy proof. Better than keeping your money in the bank. Color doesn't hurt it because Chrysler released the high impact colors (Plum Crazy, Hemi Orange, Lime Green, Tor Red ect...) in 1970.

Here's another one we sold off earlier this year. 1967 Corvette Roadster 435hp, 427cid, 68,000 original miles. This was one of my favorite cars, a pleasure to drive.

I grew up in a Mopar family. My brothers friends owned or maybe still own some of the most desirable Mopars in Canada. I made annual trips to the New Hamburg Ontario Mopar show during the 1990's. The friends would attend the Carlisle PA Chrysler Nationals every year.
I have learned that $100,000 for a true original rare muscle car is peanuts.
I thought the car would bring minimum $150K since it was not only a local auction. I understand the auction was open to internet and phone bidders.
I think the location was the biggest issue. Maybe lack of advertising in the United States played a part in this.

Don't know where or how this photo came to be, but it's a cool concept. Hopefully Chrysler is paying attention. I would buy one!

Nice collection of Mustangs. I have owned three 70 Charger R/T's over the years. I sold an nos 70 Charger grille in the box and two nos headlight doors (hideaway lights) for $5000.00US in 2004 on e-Bay.

Here's a few pictures of the 1949 COE. It's on a newer GMC chassis with a modified, late 60's sleeper.
