I'd like to keep this Alberta-based Charger in Canada, but I didn't win the lottery last night.  Current bid is $25,000 USD with two days to go.

Beautiful shade of red on this car.

Nice Charger. I like those wheels on that car. I've never seen  that type of  wheel before with the spinner thingies . Looks unique.

What color is that exactly, does anyone know? It's somewhere in between red and brown on the spectrum, right?

Official color is "Ruby Red Metallic" or "Dark Red Metallic" depending on whether it's used on Chrysler or Dodge...and if they stayed with a period correct color code.

Too bad it doesn't have the M Sport package but I don't believe that was available in the U.S.

The cost of all those items is staggering. There’s at least $15K worth of recent work into that car, probably closer to $20K.

Owner is a BMW engineer and apparently did all the work himself... so not sure if it would be that much in parts... and then his labour time.

A friend has the same car and has also had to fix/rebuild most of the same items on that list and a few more.   He did it all himself, otherwise it would be scrap metal.

While yes, the major work is done, the reality is that if you're not a BMW tech, that car is a ticking time bomb regardless.  I'd love one, but I'd only pay "walk away" money for one.

I will say that at $8500, that car is probably the best of that series you'll find.  The odds are in your favour given the list of stuff done.

When I was picking up the JGC earlier this week I noticed this big beast on the used car lot. Gorgeous big GT, not sure if my wallet would be a fan though  :rofl:
