I purchased and exported the car from the Seattle area to British Columbia in 2015. It is a US manufactured vehicle, 12/73 as per the door sticker, and I have the fender tag as well as a copy of the WA Title. The original Title was surrendered to US CBP, at the time of import to Canada. For US people the export process is fully explained online, quite straightforward. The car is registered and insured in White Rock BC, 5 miles from Blaine WA.. Serious buyers should contact me direct for any relevant specifics. I hope to have provided a good overview witthout getting into minutiae. $19,500 USD.
The Car:
Garage kept for the 8 years I have had it and seldom driven. This car is Clean, Clean, Clean. Starts, stops and drives nicely.
Overall this is a very nice driver and very original Dart Sport 360. Manufactured 12/73. Odometer reads 52170, True Mileage is UNKNOWN.
Numbers matching motor (.030 over) and 727 transmission (rebuilt with new converter in 2022). Deep pan on transmission.
One repaint by previous owner which is good however not high end. A few small dings on the body.
California car (I have the CA blue plates for the car)
The front bumper is a 1973 bracket configuration; appears to be from the factory without the 5 mph bumper (collapsible cylinders), which were mandated in 1974. The front bumper is closer to the body. The rear bumper is a 5 mph bumper.
Original AC car. Replaced compressor oil and O rings, system is not charged. ALL parts are present and hooked up.
Manual steering (Yes, I know the steering wheel center pad has the Plymouth symbol not the Dodge symbol)
Power Brakes, front discs, rear drums
8 ¼ rear end 3.21 gears (tag on rear cover)
Edelbrock carburetor installed (I have the original Thermoquad , NOT included - negotiable)
Factory exhaust manifolds
Original bucket seats; front seats recovered by previous owner and rear has original cover with new seat bottom foam installed. Rust free Seat frames and rails were cleaned, and repainted.
Console automatic, Fold down rear seat. All parts cleaned, painted.
Dash is all original with correct AM radio (radio not connected at this time but can be)
Interior door panels (woodgrain vinyl over white) cleaned and small repairs completed. All interior plastic parts cleaned/painted: properly prepared with adhesion promotor
Side glass factory tinted, Tried polishing the glass but there are Scratches present. Window regulators cleaned.
Wiring is all original including the 1974 only seatbelt starting relay. (A couple of wires on one engine sub harness could be replaced due to age). No electrical issues.
Exterior has been repainted once to a slightly deeper red shade, very close to original color of Dodge Bright Red E5
Metal has not been rusted/repaired/replaced. This includes the spare tire trunk recess, frame rails, wheel well lips, quarters, drop downs, doors inside and out, rocker panels, floor. The car was undercoated at some point and it was likely early in its life. The underside has been cleaned and top coated with rust paint.
