but it depends on how long the vendor wants to wait for the right customer to come along.

Well the story goes - if you are desparate for cash, an introduction to Lord Malcom of Budgie is required, if not, wait, and come the right person will (see, you got me talking like Yoda now n all).
If I wanted a good, solid Aussie Charger that needed nothing other than maintenance and fuel, I would throw £15 long at that (provided it was as good as it looked). If you got Champagne taste n lemonade pocket, stay away.

Agree with you completely Clivey.
Things are worth as much (or little) as people are prepared to pay.
But I don't think it is going to fetch (read worth) that money here in the UK. To me it's as simple as that.
I would be happy to see it sell for good money and that the Aussie Chargers are in demand here.

I like it. Nice tidy all-toether car. I hope it fetches the money too. Too many chisellers around these days.

to realise that sort of money, it should at least have the bumpers mint and be chrome, and be the top car of its profession one of the rt six pot hemi thingies people bang on about not a little piddlin 318 when did a 318 anythin ever fetch 15 k even ally head mint 340 duster demons dont do that sort of dough,
i agree with clivey on the fact there is always 1 person for a big money car you just need to snag him, thats the hard part, or let budge sell it for you he seems to find em, its called not lookin at the product to closely that way you can have faith in it i just eventually fall out with what i am sellin and it has to go,,

Makes Andy's look a right bargain when it was for sale

It was a very well put together car and looks like it has been dry stored and hardly turned a wheel in ten years. Grille HAS TO GO!!
Minor bits like Dunc says such as the chrome will make it really nice, and if it sells for anything near £10 ore more that may help these cars get some recognition and value to go with them?
Bob - go and tell him its not a Le Baron!!

Nice to see another 1 out there to add to the list but 14K! Even if the shell is as good as it looks its the complete lack of attention to detail that lets it down, never mind to many lights, blacked out chrome. its the miss aligned grille surround that realy takes the urine.
I know its hard to define current market values for these cars but this 1 is well off the mark nothing to do with Champagne taste & Lemonade Money be more like paying for Champagne & getting served Pomagne. The Charger Sportsman that Bert had for sale which was a nice solid car that had lived most of its live in Aus couldn't make 8 1/2K over here, a much rarer car & probably worth the money.

If this parts car is the one that was with the orange one then it is RGU4L which was red. It was a parts car 10 years ago, but nearly complete.
Looks a bit beyond saving now as lots is missing.
Love the carburettor spelling in the ebay ad!
