Yes. I'll put the advert out when I get home and just see whether there is any interest...

Well written advert Dave. I think your price might be a bit optimistic though.

Hi Adam. My guesstimate was after looking at adverts on ebay and Car&Classic.
My advert here - https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1759861 - where it's the cheapest 68/69.
I assumed that the asking price was just a starting point for offers but who knows how it is interpreted by buyers...?

List prices in the US seem to vary very widely whenever I look. I just checked Hemmings -
https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/ca ... arger/1968
and they say their average list price for the last 3 years is $141K. ! ? ! ? Seems unlikely...
The closest car there today is $99K - very shiny paint but wrong wheels...

Anyway, I'm happy to haggle and as they say, 'money talks'. Cheers.

US prices - shame there is nothing equivalent for the UK.

The tricky bit is assessing the value of the engine swap. Obviously it hurts originality, on which the Hagerty prices are based, but for many (especially over here) the 440 is a major attraction. I think you could achieve your asking price if it were painted AA1 - when did you last see a silver Charger?! In any case, good luck with the sale Dave :thumbright:
