Welcome to the Sunday Edition of the Hoomiverse Malaise Era Low Mileage Weekend. Do you remember the Dodge Magnum I highlighted a couple of weeks ago? Well, this one is even better. If you recall (or if you just click the link) that Magnum was White, with a Sunroof, a Bordello Red Velour Bench Seat interior, topped off with a Landau Roof and Cop Steelies. This one is also a 1979 GT, painted in Midnight Black, Equipped with “T” Tops, a Bordello Red Leather Bucket Seat Interior, and topped off with a Landau Roof and a bitchin’ set of Cragar S/S Rims.
According to the listing:
NOW HERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT SEE EVERYDAY! A 1979 DODGE MAGNUM GT… 2 DOOR COUPE… 360 CID V8 ENGINE… AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION… AND 12,000 ACTUAL MILES…
THE BEST COLOR COMBINATION YOU COULD GET.. BLACK EXTERIOR WITH A RED INTERIOR THAT IS JUST DROP DEAD GORGEOUS…FEATURES OF THIS CAR ARE BLACK LANDAU TOP, AIR CONDITIONING, POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES (FRONT DISC), SUPER RARE T-TOPS, TINTED GLASS, BUCKET SEATS, CONSOLE, AM RADIO, FENDER MOUNTED TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS, BUMPER GUARDS (FRONT & REAR), CHROME WHEEL LIP MOULDINGS, SURE GRIP DIFFERENTIAL, GRAN TOURING PACKAGE, LIGHT PACKAGE, AND MORE…
CAR COMES WITH A NEW SET OF CRAGAR S/S WHEELS AND BF GOODRICH RADIAL T/A TIRES. I HAVE A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER THAT WILL GO WITH THE CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED KEPT SINCE NEW.
With a little over four days to go, the top bid has reached $18,100, with an unmet reserve. The last Magnum highlighted here was priced at $15,000, but it had 42,000 miles under its belt. This Black one may have some desirable options, and the low-mileage may be a factor, but I think $18,000 is that absolute limit on this car. It may look breathtaking, but it will never command Chrysler Hemi money. Take a look at the listing, and tell me what you think.
