Hello, I apologise if this isn't the "what's it worth section",but I didn't see one. I have a 1973 318 Callenger for sale in Texas. I want to sell her soon, in the next week or so. Car is complete with all the emblems, seats are not ripped, there is 2 spots of rust on the body and then a lot of rust around the vinyl top. I am attaching pictures. She does not run but she did years ago. She has been up on blocks. Gas tank was changed out. There are also some spare parts inside and a 340 torque converter. I do not know hoe to price it but I do feel that I could get more then $5000. So I will put $5000 OBO since I must list a price. Thank you very much I am having a hard time attaching photos but will keep trying. Sorry! Here is one.

Like anything the value is all in what someone will pay for it. I bought a 74 Challenger about 10 years ago in a similar condition for 5k - it was a runner that hadnt been run in a few years sort of thing. I purchased it from friends that needed the money and I struggled to get a realistic value on a classic car, so I sympathize with what I think your asking. But, I think the Challenger is worth $5000 based on the description. I don't see pictures of the rust, so that could be a big sticking point, but 5K doesnt seem unreasonable or excessive and the potential could go up a couple thousand depending on the rust and how exstensive the rust is.

Cars in much worse shape have gone for $10k or higher.
I'd think you could start at $10k and let someone work you down to $8k.
If you start at $5k, they'll beat you up and offer $3k.

Condition is everything. If you or someone can check the fluid levels. Then put a battery in it. With the ignition disabled. Crank it for a few minuets to get the oil through the motor. Do a Video post it on you tube. Them post a link here. If my brother still lived in Texas. I would have sent him to check it out with cash. and I be on my way. Like I said condition is everything. Pictures of frame rails, trunk floor, floor pans and other. I wouldn't take a dime less until you know what you have. The members here can put a fair price on it for the seller and buyer. Some might get up set at this but that's to bad. Earn it. This car looks complete that make a Big difference to me. I don't use time and money fining things.
If they don't like the price. Spank them and send them home as a miss behaved neighbor adolescent.

This is what you what to happen inside the motor. No need to remove the valve covers. with the ignition disabled. Turn the starter over for 2-3 minutes max at a time. let sit for about that long to cool the starer down. If you do that a few times you should be good to start the motor.

I can be in Texas from Colorado within a morning depending upon where in Texas.
Seeing it would make a difference for me.

That shows most of the options.
Looks like it is a B5 Blue car with a B5 blue interior. V1X black vinyl top.
318 car.

Looks like it as A/C also. The hose over the tag was a give away.

There should be an H51 under the A/C hose. And probably an M21.
