eBay 1972 Roadrunner

Tried to put this in the appropriate conference but only mods allowed there so maybe they can move this over to where it belongs.

I sent the guy an email with all sorts of questions. The 20M seems pricey for an car with little or no real information of it's becoming a 440 when it was a 340 to start with. Pix are OK but really lacking in much good detail.

Anyhow, here's the link

Nice looking paint, but that interior....eewww! Never good when a chevy guy messes with a mopar!

Yeah that and those gawd awful WIIIIIDDDDEEEE hood/fender stripes!

I sent him an email with a bunch of questions about how the car was morphed from a 340 to a 440 and what, if anything, was added due to the extra power. Looks like he kept the original no power drum brakes! Yeah, let's go 150 with no way to stop! Uh, huh!

What do you think of the $20,000 minimum bid? Seemed a little pricey to me but I'm really not a expert on such things. I guess if somebody's willing to pay, well go for it!

God made crap...Chevy put wheels on it!

Yup, those stripes are silly looking!! Have you seen the NOS '71 quarter on ebag?? The last time I checked it was bis up to over $1,300.00!! I think the auction ends today.

Methinks that '72 has been for sale for a while (no wonder at that price!)--the pic at the race track is most likely from the Charlotte Auto Fair at Lowes Motor Speedway. The car IS from NC after all, even though I've never seen it, thankfully!

Funny thing about that chevy guy remark.

I ask a few questions about the car trying to determine just what made it worth $20,000. (IMHO it's no where close) Anyhow the seller came back with some info and a comment about he was getting offers for a trade...the specific car was a 1968 SS Camaro! Guess that confirms the "chevy guy" concept!

My first clue was in his description... "323 positraction rear end" I've never owned a mopar with POSITRACTION!!!!!
And I won't get started again on that mid 80s interior!

Me neither...suffice to say I did NOT make a bid...especially a 20 grand one for a 1972 340 car with a 1969 Charger 440 an no changes to the suspension or brakes. Not to mention his comment about the body panels that were replaced!

Gahhh...but worse (to me) than the 80s interior were those gawd awful hood/fender stripes! Gag me with a spoon! But then I have a '72 with the right stripes and Richard Petty Electric Blue unaltered by pearl!

I wonder what that little exercise in futility cost in terms of eBay fees?
