Overhaulin Challenger

[chr2002ca]

That car needs to be overhauled, again. One of his Chip's worst creations unfortunately. Appraised at $295K?

hahaha maybe that is why he is selling it, id ask for a redo either that or he just fell on hard times...who knows

Other than it sits too high....and the green in the interior is hideous.... I think its a gorgeous car....

The whole WORLD has fallen on Hard times. Just because the car Appraised at $295K, Does not mean he will get that much money. I wish him luck.

I have a friend that is building a pro-touring 70 Cuda. He is doing all of the labor himself. He has a 6.1 Hemi, 5 speed auto, Air ride, Booze wheels, Wilwood brakes, Vintage AC, etc. I would much rather have my friends Cuda.

Bids haven't budged in a couple of days and with less than 24hrs. left and reserve not met yet, doubtful it will sell.

Unfortunatly I got ill on Thursday which left me home the whole day, and Friday as well. As luck would have it, I fell upon this paticular episode of Overhaulin. The car was given to him by his dad--the guy was ruined when it appeared to be stolen---he said he would never sell--that he would be buried in the car.

Maybe they had kids--lost a job, divorce--or maybe an offer they couldn't refuse,etc. I will say this, the car really looked nice on the episode--it sat lower for sure--it looks terrible in these pics.

Last thing, this company--Moto Exotica--I bought a 69 RS from the owner there about 4 years ago---terrible experience--car was completely misrepresented---I sold it 1 year later at an 8k loss--coulda been worse I know--would never buy from him again. I am laughing at an appraised value of 270k---

The appraisal is absolutely ridiculous and now with little more than an hour to go, bids have still not moved.
I usually like what Foose does to modify cars but this one doesn't do it for me.

If I'm not mistaken this car was at SEMA and actually looks better in person.

I know one of the first vehicles done on overhaulin was in an auction this weekend (the rescue truck). Last year the same auction had the model A that was on the show that started out with a mazda motor in it and that thing was awesome.

Okay normally I wouldn't come in here and say anything but......REALLY.....NO REALLY?? I am curious to what the reserve was on the car? I know Chip built it and all but again........REALLY $295k appraisal? Okay this isn't the Ridler or anything like that I mean okay $60k MAYBE. Oh and the part about "I will never sell it, I will be buried in it" okay maybe hard times have hit him if that was the case wouldn't you want to offer the highest bidder a chance at saying hey I am asking this if you can get close enough it is yours "CAUSE I NEED THE MONEY" not because it has Chips name on the build so I know I can get me a small fortune price tag on it! Ughhhhhhhhh

I seen this car at the Daytona Cruise with my buddies. I could not believe this was a Foose built car. Fit and finish was......well, lets just say that it's aged pretty quick. I believe the couple were packing up to leave, when his wife jumped into the passenger side and closed the door. A loud and nasty klunk came from the mis-aligned door that, guaranteed , left people scratching their heads in disbelief.
