On the other hand, if your buying a car from someone who doesn't know
anything about cars. (like the 48 Dodge I'm thinking about buying) or thinks
it's worth money cause it's old. Print out the page and show it to the
seller.
This lady has a 48 dodge 2dr. Body looks solid. floors and rockers are
needed. A tree fell on the trunk/quarter panel. That is the part I don't
know how easily can be fixed.
Her husband left the car there after a divorce. She has no keys for it, but
has the title. Her mechanic said it had to be worth at leat $1500 for parts.
I looked at it in September. I was the only person to look at it and it's
been for sale since March 98.
After I get my barn, i'll offer her $200 and see what happens. i told her
flat out, she might get $1500 worth of parts out of it, but she has to deal
with it as it slowly gets parted out. I know we're all mopar fans. But we
alos, they are not valued as much as other brands and people don't beat down
the door to by a 48 Dodge.
we'll see what happens next month. I also have a brother in law that bought
a 67 Mustang in 88 and it's been sitting in his yard ever since. I have a
feeling he'll give me the car If I ask him for it, it would make a good run
around car for the wife.. I just don't know when I'd have time to drive all
the cars.

I don't know where they get their facts, but take this info with one large
grain of salt. I looked up '69 Super Bees (OK, not F-L, I admit) and it
said to add 15% for a 440-4bbl, which was never offered in that car. It
also listed a #1 condition Six Pack at $14,800 in base form. The last #2
car I saw for sale brought $45,000.
I'm just suggesting that auctions and actual sales provide a better
baseline than a magazine ever can.
