Thank you Mopardave. Hopefully someone can snag it. Checked on one that was in Hemmings back in the 90s and the guy sent it to the crusher because no one called on it. At least that was his story. :crying: :crying:

Is it me, or is that kinda high for some paperwork and a few specific parts?  :clueless:

Depends on what is still with the car. If it's complete just MAJORLY rusty, then there could still be a lot of expensive parts on it....if it's a gutted rusted shell with only tags and paper work, that's a different story.

I'm pretty sure that the rest of the car is gone. All he's selling is the vin # and paperwork.

Looked at this 70 Challenger convertible this past summer. Car was in central NJ area. Really bad hit on the drivers side. Not much left. Any parts that might be unique were pretty much rusted beyond repair. I passed on it. The guy marked it sold a day later.

Guy wanted $4500.00 or more? I knew there were some decent parts left there but wasn't worth the hassle.

I have everything I need for my Convertible project. If it was cheaper I would have bit....

The ROE -Return on Equity would have been marginal at $4500 based on what was left on the car.
Selling the tags with the car's numbers could have brought some additional monies; that move is usually dubious and possibly illegal?

I'm really surprised you folks didn't jump on a $4500 dollar chance to own a ragtop which needs to be rebodied??

It looked like the convertible top motor and wiring was still intact,
still though, the return on parts equity at a $4500 price point? :takemymoney:
