The engine has clearly been repainted, nothing saying it was originally red (looks more orange to me).

Wow, that's a big change in pricing. Like fury fan said above, it might night look too good in person.

The light color, and the angles it's photographed at, are flattering to it.
But I see the trunklid definitely is mismatched in color, and the passenger rear door looks that way also.
The LR taillight is misaligned - the bumper and bumperguard suggest it took a small punch in that location.
In post #33 you can see there are some dents in the fenders, driverside above the marker light, and passenger side is behind the wheel on the body crease.
Overall, in the pics where you can see some shine, the paint looks a bit tired.
But at least it's mostly 1-color overall.
I don't see anything to suggest someone should be afraid of this car.
It might need *zero* to be a reliable driver, and that's worth something.
Being a factory 383hp is very cool, too.

Damn, why the hate for green cars? Green is my favourite colour for cars! Well, some shades are gross, but that's true of most colours: a light "icy" green is very nice; that "tropic green" you could get on early 2000s Panthers was gross, though...
I agree with you about the cream/white: it's a very "refreshing" change from cream/black, and keeps things airy.

Didn't this start off at 4500?

He needs to raise the price 4500 to pay for the advertising he got on this page!

From the ad:
"it does have some minor surface rust on the passenger floorboard but can be cleaned up, this was due to poor care of the previous owner not addressing the windshield seal"
"I do keep the car covered to keep the car dry since the windshield seal is leaking a little."
So the prior owner wasn't the only one who didn't fix it.

That is the price that I'd have paid if I'd bought the car from the original seller.
When it lived in California, the car was in a very dry area.

The stripe didn't work on Medina and it doesn't work on this one either.
Funny thing is, many non-Mopar folks (and a few non-C-body folks) liked the stripe on Medina. I did not, and thanks to your great repaint it is now gone.
For this car, the choice actually looks fine to my eyes -- but it is not correct, and I would certainly not have added it.

It just keeps getting worse and worse doesn't it?
That poor car.

Chris how do you remove a painted stripe like that?
Most likely, that is vinyl and will come off without too much drama.

That looks like a regular 69 Super Bee vinyl stripe with the letters removed so it should come off easily with a little heat. Medina's stripe was painted on and clearcoated over so it had to be sanded off.
Edit! I just read the ad and he does say it's painted on. I'm a little skeptical though cause it looks just like the decal, even the sheen.
