Might as well put some new carpet in and sell it restored. Car looks great and isn't original anymore so you might as well pull out the old carpet and put some new stuff in there. Should bring you more money in the end.
No offense, but after multiple posts (12, 13, 15, 16, 29) saying to not touch it, leave it original, and this is all good advice, you ended up doing quite a bit to it. In your mind, you were "improving", but to many, myself included, that not-quite-perfect original was better. It's still a nice car, don't get me wrong, but putting money/time into a car doesn't always increase the final price it will sell for. Either way, since this turned out to not be a low-miles car, it doesn't matter quite as much as it would have if it had been a low-miles car. I'd have still rather had it untouched as much as possible though.
But, that said, do you have before pics of underhood/trunk (to go with the after pics you've already posted)?

it looks like a restored car under the hood. Alternator, black wire ties, painted master cylinder, and hose clamps aren't original. The paint is way too nice under the hood and the interior isn't factory with that insert in the seats, is it? Inderside of hood is definately repainted and the hood insulation isn't original. $5000? It looks very nice, though. Carpet looks ugly, and the economy battery looks cheesy.
You won't be "slapping" a 318 into a '63 Dart. It is a nontrivial swap.
Mods.....I know yall are busy, but this IS the for sale section. Not the What's It Worth? section.
Dude, either put a price on the thing or shut up and go home. We have rules here. This whole thread should be axed so you can start all over again. Read the rules for the for sale section and follow them.
NOT BEING A MOPAR CAT AND ON MY FIRST OLD SCHOOL RESTO / SALE I WAS ASKING SOME GUYS ON HERE THAT CLEARLY KNOW THEIR STUFF ABOUT DARTS. I WAS INQUIRING ABOUT WHAT THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BRING FIRST SO I COULD THEN POST IT AND ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE. ALONG THE THREAD THEY HAVE VOICED THEIR OPINION BOTH CONSTRUCTIVELY AND HONESTLY, FOR THOSE WHO HAVE I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU... THROUGH YOUR TIPS I HAVE RAISED THE VALUE OF THE CAR A BIT AND MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS, AS WELL AS NOW I KNOW WHAT TO ASK FOR IT.. THANKS TO ALL. OH... IM ASKING $8K... NO HURRY.
:finga:
constructive advice and a free ad, so then don't give us the finger.
