Test Drive 1968 Dodge Charger SOLD FAST $54,900 Maple Motors

[@rodneywager2142]

That 318 probably saved that cars life

[@williamrogers733]

Lawd have mercy, 55k for a 318.

[@charlesvan13]

Its inflation adjusted sticker price new, is about $25,000. In 1990 I bought a straight no rust 69 Mustang fastback with a small block and 4-speed for $3000. These old cars have really inflated.

[@l.s.451]

I never comment on the asking price...even as a MOPAR fan...$54k IS WAY TO HIGH!(Used Car Movie)

[@RsBold]

Same here, I always stay out of it and never comment but this is nuts. The entire underneath of that car and the bubba special exhaust is horrible. Not to hate on 318’s and column shift automatics, but that is NOT the right combination for a car of this asking price. someone will pay, most likely overseas and that’s what jacks up the prices on these things.

[@FREEDOOOOM]

@@RsBold Hey, I just think just the same as you guys do, and I´m from Europe. Prices for such cars are just insane right now. Even for European classics.

[@aziegster]

Column shifter and a 318 to start. Definitely not worthy of 54k. 383 and an automatic on the floor, then we can talk.

@@aziegster not for me!!!

[@randalmorris1772]

Worn out 318 with a dress up package, hack job for exhaust, oil leaks and a quicky paint job over rust. Not worth the asking price. But hey, at least the horn works.

[@kmonto1971]

Is that really the muffler bouncing off of the drive shaft? Way to much money for a 318...

[@RsBold]

First thing I thought when I seen that driveway diy exhaust. Between that and the underneath of that car in general, it is atrocious for the price listed. And for a 318 column shift….First time in a while I’ve seen this place overprice a vehicle this much.

[@billlittlejohn2331]

Yes that's a real beauty and it's my favorite year because of the tail lights. However there's no way it's worth the price! A little 318 and not an R/T! It's worth closer to about 28.

Seriously? Rust buckets are going for more than that!

I see people hating on this badass Charger. I’ve always loved the body style especially the grill. I’m not a expert on prices on these but I don’t see very many anymore.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Yes I’ve been wondering where they are actually finding these cars for $25k lol. We have had a hard time finding them in this shape for under $50k. Just to put it in perspective we have a list of buyers since we listed it yesterday. They all are saying the same thing. They cannot find any, I’m sure it will be sold today. You know how these internet buyers are tho. They seem to be able to find anything you want till it’s time to bring it to ya. Thank you for watching

[@aguywithaname7764]

People complaining bout the price…they’re running a business and part of running a business is to make money. They’re not giving away these cars for small bills. It’s obvious they know the market hence why the car is no longer available. If this car was as perfect as perfect can be with a bigger engine without the auto trans it’ll be price closer to $70-80k or even higher. Man, y’all need to relax and just enjoy the video.

I'm surprised with cars like this, that you guys don't do engine and trans swaps and make extra big $ for a quick flips. All you need is a 440 grate engine and install a 4 speed or just a floor shifter for the auto and she'd pull in the big bucks for just a couple days work.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

We just buy and sell, if we make $3,000 we move the ride. No big markups just high volume sales is what we thrive on. Working on it for months and trying to fix everything just raises our prices and takes away from profits. Not to mention way less cars. Currently running thru 60 a month the way we do things. Thank you

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

@@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate Yeah, I don't mean going all the way and restore them, though that would be cool to have a shop devoted to that also, though that's of course a whole other business in itself. I'm just saying taking a weekend on these obvious ones, where a dropping in a big block 440 grate engine in just a day or two worth of hours would yield massive gains, that's all. I can for example pull an engine alone in a classic car and drop another one in, in just a few hours working alone but even if it took 8 to 16 hours, the rewards with a 318 to 440 swap in a car like this would be MASSIVE returns and any shade tree can easily swap these old school engines.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

It’s just a rare model on this mopar, we never get these cars in because they are very expensive. 318 or not we have a list of people waiting to pay for it. We try and keep the prices down and are still only marking them up $3,000. It’s the market and the fact that it is a 1968 Charger that will bring this kind of money. Almost impossible for us to get ahold of one in this condition. Thats why it is already sold. It actually wen’t on hold in the first hour yesterday. We got the full amount today. Thanks for watching
