Yes, it is a lot of money for the car.

Try to find another one. - you won't because they made only one.

Try to find another hemi car with 43 years of completely documented ownership.

Or unrestored with 17,000 miles, still riding on its original 1970, owner installed wheels and tires.

With the only known set of dealer-installed and ironclad documented, Scat Pack hemi headers.

With every single piece of documentation since even before it was built.

As for market value? Show me a comparitive sale of an unrestored 426 Hemi, four speed,70 Charger R/T-SE. There was a yellow 70 hemi R/T Charger (not an SE) that was beautifully restored, which privately sold in the same ballpark within the past year or so.

P.S. I was told the exact same thing in 1987 when I sold that yellow 71 Hemicuda ragtop for $54K. I had people calling me and telling me how I ripped off Otis Chandler by making him pay that much for a hemi car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Markets go up and markets go down, but quality cars will always be worth what you pay for them, long after you bought them.
