first owner turbine bronz 1968 300 2dr on cl $5000

[68-300]

Found this one on cl, no pictures, seller doesn't respond to my emails, maybe doesn't want to deal with a foreigner. Shipping will probably be hard to arrange since it hasn't been driven for 5 years.
Maybe one of you has more luck. Could be a very nice deal for $5000

Funny. This car is blocks away from where I grew up. Now I live in TN. I called the guy and I'm trying to work out a deal. At least I would have a place to store it until I can get back home for a visit.

Nice to hear! I hope you succeed. If you ever get a chance to post some pics I would appreciate it.

This is one of my dream slabs, a 2dr 68 300 in turbine bronze (with the right options)

I ended up not buying this. It was just a bit too much damage and too many unanswered questions for me to be comfortable.

 

[68-300]

The seller did finally answer my questions and I think the same. For a few $ less it is a good deal for someone who really wants a one owner slab.

Price is lowered to $4000

Did anyone ever get a sense of the running order? It obviously needs some paint and body work but if it also needs much mechanical repair that changes the water on the beans.

Is this a genuine "one-owner" car (as in "the seller actually bought the car brand new!), or a "one-family-owned" car, or a flipper who claims a flipper does not count in the ownership chain??? For this to truly be "one-owner", we'd have to figure the buyer was in his late 30s when the car was bought, making the seller in his mid-'80s now. The "one-owner" claim for '60s cars is rapidly becoming BS.

The Budd disc car up in Port Townsend might be a better deal.

If that title doesnt change names, technically its a one owner car

 

[patrick66]

Possession is 9/10 of the law. If the seller isn't a dealer, then it counts as ownership.

A car could be bought and sold ten times without a title changing names. That would be a ten-owner car, not a "one-owner".

Indeed, the car in question is claiming "first owner", which to me, says "I'm selling the car, and I bought it new!" Anything else would be wrong. To me, words matter. If it's a claimed "one owner", the seller had better be able to prove ownership back to the day he drove it off the showroom floor. Flippers are owners in the chain. I think we've had this discussion once or twice before.

That's like telling a woman who wants money for sex that she's a *****. She'll just deny it because she'll insist that she's a lady who accepts the kindness of strangers.

As I did understand from the seller the car is not his, he is advertising it for the original owner who isn't capable to do it himself. I think the car is still stored on the estate that's also for sale.

 

[polara71]

You trade a car in that doesn't make the local Dodge dealer an owner.

Sorry Patrick, you're barking at the moon with this.... I strongly disagree with your OPINION.

 

[detmatt]

If a flipper uses the car for him/herself, puts miles on it etc., that makes him/her an owner, IMO.

 

[MrMoparCHP]

I never got the "X Owner" car thing?

Does that equate to value?

Yes it is cool to say "this was my Grandfathers Barracuda, he purchased it new", but when selling a car what difference does it make.

All it takes is one owner to totally mess a car up.

That makes sense.

 

[Lord Alvin]

It's a one-family owned car. It's in rough shape.

Not sure how the engine could be special ordered out of Canada when Canada didn't built 440s. Maybe a Canadian DEALER special ordered the car with that 440. Which brings us to the question of "How did it get into the U.S?"
