1974 Dart Custom

Located in South Jersey.

Asking $3000 or best offer.

Car is street-legal, has passed NJ state inspection at a state facility. Buyer can drive it home. This is a well-preserved original car that was abused (neglected) mechanically before I bought it. I have:

- Replaced the exhaust system
- Slant-6 motor,transmission, and radiator with solid-low-mileage (44K) units (from another member).
- battery
- windshield wiper seals and bushings.
- repaired the trunk torque rod issues.

Body is in excellent shape for it's age. It has, however:

- small areas of rust-through behind the wheel-wells behind the left-front fender, and both left and right rear quarters.

-- windshield leaks front & rear. This has wiped out the front carpet on the driver's side and resulted in surface (ONLY) rust on the driver's floor well and trunk floor. Wirewheel / primer /paint will cure these. And a front carpet & pad set.

-- tears in front seat cover at tuck seams.

It will need:

-- a heater core. It's bypassed at the moment.

-- front armrest pads.

-- Speedo cable (has a jiggle).

Car comes with a complete factory A/C system to install, including controls, vacuum lines, and underhood & dash wiring harnesses. I would replace the receiver/drier. This car has no AC, so that's a huge project.

I've got it to the point that it's a reliable and safe daily driver; with a bit of interior work, relatively minor bodywork, seal the windshields (or re-gasket) and the car would be perfect.

I was going to replace all of the ball joints and realign the front end since this was to be my son's car for college and it was cheap & easy to do. I have, however, noticed no front end issues at any speed. It comes with a set of upper ball joints. I also have parts salvaged from the dead original motor, including intake & exhaust manifolds, water pump, starter, a veritable plethora of fasteners and brackets, etc. Also have a working 904 that has to be rebuilt with it's TC. Take it all. Please.
