20 seems high....need more info...motor info, rear end info, brake upgrades?? I sold mine for 17K, survivor, low mileage 318, 4 bbl, auto console, HD 2004R overdrive auto, 3.90 gears/posi, power steering, power disc brakes, A/C, new bumpers, custom interior, 302 heads, 340 manifolds, dual exhaust, no rust ever anywhere, no body repairs ever:
Hey man thanks for responding. She's selling three cars all of which belonged to her boyfriend I believe there's a 66 charger this cuda and something else. Anyway she doesn't know anything about the car but it is a two-owner and I believe that's a 318 v8? Not sure
For that kind of money I would get it on a car lift and look at all the frame rails that the rearend and front suspension is all hooked to, that seems very high to me.

Seem high bought mine for 11 all 5 years ago original, 318, column shifter little bubbling lower rocker, but how bad u want It. Rust would be my biggest concern. Of course i payed quite a bit for a charger so if it feels rite get it.

As previously said, we need more info, but from a quick look, I'd say that is a $15,000 (US) car; if it runs and drives well.

Post the VIN? and you could always check the engine cid stamp... that's a cool ride...I've always wanted 68 notch, myself... seen one of here for 8500, w/ a 383..needed a Total Restoration.... but if you can work on things, and With the Help of the Awesome Mopar Brothers and Sisters Here, on FABO, anything IS Possible. Sorry for the off topic rant....
From the pictures, IMO, you can get something a lot nicer for the same money.
Hey Donny, my opinion. You say you know nothing about cars, you better have a GREAT support system in place that KNOWS 50 year old cars. Family, friends that are familiar with mopars.
The "girlfriend " is selling these? Make sure ownership etc is legitimately in her name. I highly doubt she "knows nothing" about them.
Where you located? I'm north of Peterborough Ontario.
Get a good known car person to check it out with you.
Cheers

Have it taken to a professional mechanic for an inspection. Even if you have to pay a few dollars it is better than a lot of dollars and bad car. Paint and chrome can hide a lot.
Those hubcaps look similar to early 60's Pontiac/ Oldsmobile rims. Different bolt pattern of course but pretty different looking.

Those wheel covers are factory 69 cuda. Heavy as heck! The wide white walls dont help the look.
Don't see those caps very often.
