Classic Charger Intentionally Destroyed by Deluded Car Flipper!
After unsuccessfully trying to sell 1970 Charger for twice what he paid, entrepreneur cuts his loses in the craziest way possible.
There are no more heartbreaking things to see than to watch a classic Dodge end up in the crusher. We’d only hope it had a good life of adventure on the road before becoming materials for a new Challenger, or a refrigerator.
At the same time, there’s nothing more callous than a car-flipping jackass throwing a tantrum after finding no one will pay his outrageous price. But that’s what Daniel Gagliardi did with a 1970 Dodge Charger. According to The Drive, he sent the Charger to the crusher after no one offered to give him $8,500 for it.
“Here’s the deal: I had the car for six months, and I bought it for $4,200,” Gagliardi told The Drive. “I had it for sale, like I said, for six months. I was asking $8,500 for it. It was a complete car, not missing a single thing inside, out, underneath, under the hood, wasn’t missing a damn thing. Had fender tag, VIN tag, clean title.”
Instead of being an adult and having patience (or, better yet, restoring the car himself), he got tired of his problems “with no-showers, thousands of no-showers, and a whole bunch of flakers,” leading to his decision to crush the Charger with no remorse.
“If people would just show up like they said that they would, and keep their word like a man, then they literally could’ve named their price and owned the car,” said Gagliardi. “But people simply just jerked me around, and just wouldn’t show up.”
As it would appear to us, the Charger wasn’t worth what he was asking. The car already looked beat before it was trashed by the forklift at the scrapyard. And yes, he did pay for the car, therefore making it his property to do as he saw fit with it, but this is a jerkass move beyond the pale.
And now, one less Charger has a chance to return to the road, either whole, or on another Charger. Hopefully, all get a good look at the manchild who did this, so as to never sell him any classic. Stick to the buy-here, pay-here lots, kid.
