70 Charger 500 Value?
Hi, I just looked at a 70 Charger 500 today that is for sale. Its a 318 car. I "Think"it has the original motor in it. (Haven't talked to the owner yet) rebuit auto tranny. The car is a driver, has been off the road for 4 years. Has some rust holes in the quarters and some bondo where the roof slopes down to the trunk area. There is also a patch around where the heater hoses enter/exit the firewall. I dont know if it was rotted or if it had a/c at one time.
The floors and frame look great. I couldnt get into the trunk but fear there may be some holes due to the silicone caulking I saw around the lower section of the rear window. Right now this is what I like to call a 50/50 car. It looks good at 50 ft or 50mph. =] I just dont really know the value of B-bodies that well. So if you have an idea of the value of this or need some more info on it please let me know. Thanks for any input. |

5th digit/letter in VIN is G. G= 318.
I have since talked with the owner and he has informed me that the motor is not the original. |

The 318 can be very original for those cars. It's there corprate engine and was found in many Chargers, and other perfromance lines. If it's all original, it's worth quite a bit. IF you can get it worth the money, restore it and you'll have you a good investment, and show car to boot. Not many originals left and that's what makes them worth so much.

The motor in the car is a 318, just not the original one. The owner is asking $3800. Should I? ......

That's a little high for my area at least anyways. IT would be better if it had the original with it so it could be built and put back in place. I would work on getting that price a little lower with the amount of work it needs, but all in all it's not too bad a price, but still a little high.
