The 300 is a excellent engine. They had a 4 barrel option. Do not put a Chevy 350 in your car. You will seriously devalue it.

Another concern for a 65 front bumper are the parking lights. The openings on the Special and wagons are smaller than the Skylark as they don’t have the pot metal parking light grilles. It will fit but you’ll be looking for different parking lights and it won’t be original if that matters to you.

I’m not sure that is actually a Buick (it looks to be a German Opel) but that is definitely a girl!

Make sure it is for a ‘69 and not a ‘68. A mistake I once made.

It would be nice to know how much you want for this car?

Miles and location would be helpful information to potential buyers. We don’t charge by the word here so be more specific please!

‘64 grilles are different from ‘65 and not interchangable

Price? Location?

My 2007 VW New Beetle has a 5 speed manual. I use it as a toad behind my RV. I recently purchased a 2019 Challenger R/T with the 5.4 Hemi. They come with a 6 speed Manual or an 8 speed Auto. As this is my daily driver, I opted for the auto. It has been an awesome transmission so far. At my age, I like the comfort of letting the car do the shifting, although it does come with a “Sport Mode” where you can paddle shift it if you so desire. If I need to keep my clutch skills up, I take the bug for a drive.

You’re right Gary. I just bought a 2019 Hemi Challenger and I believe the curb weight is 4,400#. However, with 375 HP it really accelerates and rides beautifully. It is a great car to road trip in. Best of all, it is rear wheel drive.

AACA must be charging by the word now for ads. I guess the OP can’t afford to describe it further.

Too many doors for that price...and I like 4 doors. I’m thinking $5 to $7K is closer to real value.

I had a 2013 MKX (Nautilus). It was a great car. I loved the luxury treatment I got at the dealership when I brought it in for service. I traded it in on my 2019 Challenger R/T. While it isn’t likely for me to buy another car, I would not consider one made in China.

That’s a whole lotta car for not much money!

Nice car! Interesting how it’s going 30 MPH while still in park.

Beautiful car and priced right. If I had the money and a place to put it, sigh.

Great car for half the asking price!

I just picked up this gem a couple of weeks ago. It is a 2019 Challenger R/T which came with the 5.7 Hemi and 8 speed auto. Will it be collectible, no. Will I likely keep it and pamper it until I can’t drive anymore, possible. I’m hoping it will be a long time as I’m almost 67. As a caveat, I’ve now had 3 “last” cars. I traded in my 2013 Lincoln MKX which was not only a great driving machine, but one of the most reliable cars I’ve ever owned. This car is a throwback to the muscle cars of the late 60’s and 70’s. While there are options for incredible more horsepower, the 5.7 will put you back in your seat when you nail the loud pedal. The exhaust has an amazing burble to it that changes to a growl when revved. It will boil the rear tires with the traction control turned off (not that I done that Hee, Hee). It is a very comfortable car sized for a big guy like me. As a kicker it has continued the beautiful styling of the original Challenger and remained virtually unchanged since its reintroduction in 2008. While visibility isn’t the best, it is better than the Camaro or Mustang although those both hold an edge in power over the 5.7 with the right options. The Challenger has an actual usable back seat unlike other pony cars and a huge trunk. It is a most comfortable driving car for long trips and guaranteed to put a smile on the face of anyone who appreciates a car with muscle. Best of all as I bought it used it was very affordable. Oh, and as of right now, since I purchased it, I’m averaging 22.8 MPG on regular gas. I also have to say that I never thought of myself as a MOPAR guy but this car just might change that.

That is a Special, not a Skylark. That said it is a pretty loaded Special with a power seat, power brakes and power steering especially with the V6. It also appears to have a tilt column. Nice car!

The other way to tell a Super Beetle is that the spare tire sits flat on the floor of the front compartment. I had a ‘74 Super SunBug. It was a great car. I’ve also had numerous other beetles ranging from a 1965 to a 2007 New Beetle (current). Never had a bad one.

The odometer might show 24,000 miles but the undercarriage pictures say at least 120,000 miles. Funny how some folks figure when the 5 digit (6 including tenths) odometer rolls over they get a new car!

I’ve had a couple wheels done by craft custom. Quality work isn’t cheap.

Pictures and a price will go a lot further to help you sell a car here.

There are some pretty great deals out there now too. My last car was a 2 year old Lincoln MKX CPO. As stated above , the certified warranty is better than the new car warranty. It’s been a relatively trouble free car for the 5 years I’ve had it. It was a rental return. I have purchased many rental returns over the years and have never been disappointed. Today I am picking up a 2019 Challenger R/T as a CPO car. I was very particular in what I wanted so I was pleased to find almost exactly what I wanted and in a color I liked. I also got an insane deal on the price. This car has 22K miles and as I drive less than 3K miles a year for this car, it will probably be my last car. (I’ve said that about my last 3 cars though) I looked at new ones but the dealers weren’t willing to discount much below MSRP - rebates so I walked. There was one other CPO car that had about half the miles this one had and their asking price was just a little higher than the one I bought. The show stoppers were The color, white, and they weren’t too generous with my trade. I usually sell my trades outright but with the virus and all i decided to take the easy way out. I’d advocate for a CPO used car any day. Let someone else take the depreciation hit. Interesting, I hadn’t heard about Hertz. I worked for them for a short while as a part time retirement job. Too bad if they are folding. I met some great people working there.

Years ago (17), I bought rear quarter panels from JC Whitney. I don’t know if they are still around. They weren’t very good as a direct replacement but my body guy was able to use most of them by cutting out patch panels.
