1968 Chrysler 300. New custom paint and body work. No rust what so ever. New 440cu 200 miles since rebuild. New brakes lots of work done. 67000 original miles. New interior, Stereo system, Amps, Subs, Cold air, Dual exhaust 20" wheels with low pro tires. Professionally lowered. This is a rare car. The car has been used as a prop in print publications. Allot of money has gone into this car. A one of a kind. Looking for mid 20s OBO. Call or email for more info. Can be seen by appointment only.

That car is gorgeous and the owner used to post on this board, photographer I think.

[detmatt]

Couldn't build it for less.

Are we going to get into that argument again?

 

[detmatt]

No Stan, if you don't like it you don't have to buy it. If I had bunches of money I think I might go for a closer look at it.

Doesn't it have too many doors for you?

 

[commando1]

Matt, considering the state of C-body fair market values, you don't feel that's way overpriced? Even putting aside taste preferences?

I hate to butt in here but it's not simply a C body at this point. It's a very nicely executed resto mod that transcends the make and model

 

[commando1]

Well, I take it all back then. Never mind....

Mid 20's and it's still grimy underhood?

 

[detmatt]

Not too many doors on this one, nothing wrong with 4 door hdtps, love em!

Mid 20's and it's still grimy underhood?

And that would be the only problem I have with the asking price.

 

[bajajoaquin]

I don't see it either. Unless we're talking about a from-scratch custom, I think of mods as adding zero value over the base value you would see on a stock car in the same condition. That's a nice car and I'd be proud to drive it, but if it had been restored to that same level would we be considering it a $20k car?

:laughing4: Not likely by any of our group . We are a frugal bunch.:imho:

Speak for yourself, I'm just broke is all.

I think the seller might get close to that. Assuming the quality of the paint and body work is up to snuff, and everything on the car works, I can see $20K on it. Mid-'$20s might be stretching things, but this IS a pretty damn nice car. Tastefully lowered cars with conservative wheels and nice paint will bring the money, as more and more people start to appreciate the work that goes into these. Personal taste aside, some on this forum would ***** if it were a nuts-and-bolts resto, numbers-matching-air-in-the-tires style build. for half that.

You are all blinded by the overexposed pics of that dayglo blue paint. There is nothing extraordinary about that car. Beyond the shiny paint, you would be saying $6k tops

When I build my own similar car I know its going to cost a heck of a lot more than 6K. I might not pay 20K for this car but there's some real value in what he's done to it.
