WIW: 1966 Dart GT, 273 4-bbl, 4-speed

[dartslantsix]

I'll apologize up front as I don't have pictures.
1966 Dodge Dart GT, 273 4-bbl, 4-speed, 8 3/4 rear, front discs and sway bar.
No engine or trans. Needs full restoration. No interior. Has all trim and glass.
Rust: rear quarters rusted through, spare tire well has some holes, worst area is the vinyl top- heavy pitting with some holes.
Southern Oregon car.
What's a good price range? I have a friend looking at it.

With no pictures, possibly significant rust, no drive train. Maybe $1000 tops? Maybe
I've paid $800 for a similar style shell with 3 short block big block cores, 3 transmission cores, and sheet metal to repair the car like 5 years ago

 

[junkyardhero]

honestly, from the description, $500~1000

and that only goes 4 digits because of the 8.75 and discs/sway bar set up.

 

[toolmanmike]

We really need photos to give you a accurite value but a couple thousand tops with that much rust and no engine, trans, or interior.

 

[A56]

Maybe pay someone to take it.

Rust issues are very expensive.

 

[4mulas]

$0-300 depending on how bad you want it.

 

[toolmanmike]

Rust issues are very expensive.

Exactly, especially areas where no parts or patch panels are available (like the roof issues) Lower 1/4 and wheel arches are available from the aftermarket and that's about it. Floor pans and may be trunk floor panels may be. Laysons would be your best bet there. Trunk drops are always needed if the lower 1/4's are gone and they aren't reproduced. Most used pieces are in need of repair as well. Even Arizona sheet metal. The rest of the problem areas will have to be patched or repaired with sheet metal from other cars.

I would imagine that an 8 3/4 A body rear end is worth $500 itself.

Double that

Rust issues are very expensive.

Even if you do all the work yourself parts and supplies add up fast not to mention collosal amounts of time. Then throw in limited reproduction sheet metal for the early cars makes it all much tougher.

 

[junkyardhero]

Double that

you'd think that, but all of a sudden when there's one sitting right there and ready to go it seems everybody forgot their wallet!

What are the first 4 letters and numbers of the VIN? That will help value it. There is more than one beginning to the 1966 Dart VIN.

Someone trying to slide in on a D Dart. Lol
I love it !!!l

This is a submarine. As soon s someone gets something like this they are so far underwater financially. Most likely it is not a D-Dart but it might be, but even if it is there’s a lot of work involved in getting this car road worthy.
I don’t want to discourage anyone but anyone would be better off finding a car in better condition.
So I don’t think anyone should pay more than $1,000 for it.

 

[toolmanmike]

But I did pay $400 for a rust free floor pan assy. with all the brackets and some of the rockers on it for a 66 Dart. ps I don't need anymore. hint hint.

But we aren't going there are we!

Thanks for all the replies. This is sort of a special situation, it's a part of my family's "collection" and I'm trying to figure a fair price for my friend. It's tough because it's a rare car, but has rust and isn't a desirable year.

 

[RustyRatRod]

I'd take 100 bucks to haul it off.

it's true that it's a rare car. but rare doesn't always equate to desirable nor valuable.

and here's the part where i'm gonna squeeze your shoes: without the original motor and transmission, it's just a pile of rusty parts.

the value of something unique like this comes from having all the pieces, and this is missing ostensibly two of the biggest. add in the rust issues as well as a missing interior and the overall monetary value is dog water.

If you could find a guy that has not already sold his 66 273 4 speed Dart hardtop who would want this 273 4 speed convertible for his loving wife, you could probably get quite a bit more than a few hundred.

 

[cosgig]

For your buddy, $1000-$1200, anyone else $1500-$1800. And that’s only because of the 8 3/4”

 

[slantsixdan]

Rust issues are very expensive.

…and there is always, always, always more/worse than you see in the pre-buy inspection. Always.

 

[MILO]

I guess I can not say much without pictures

 

[Jim Lusk]

Without pics and VIN no way to really value it...
