Hey guys, I'm ready to sell my '72 Dart (Demon?) front clip. I just decided to sell this week, told no one, and today alone I've had three people contact me about it. I'd like to know what folks think is a fair asking price, and I'll give as many details as I can below. I have no idea if they...

Thanks!

Nice. I have to ask, what are the specs on your wheels and tires?

:) Will do. :)

By cribbing, do you mean those sets of 2x6s under the wheels? It looks like you alternated direction each layer and probably screwed them together, right?

Thanks, guys. That's all I needed to know.

The last time I worked on a Dart was the early 80s, probably, and at that time all I had was the bumper jack. Now of course, I've got a hydraulic floor jack. My question is, what are the proper non-bumper jack points? Can I lift from the center of the rear axle, and under the K frame up front...

See, I was waiting for someone else to say it, because I'm new here and I don't know who's a jokester and who's missing on one cylinder. :)

Excellent info, thank you.

:D

And no, I've got my old truck to tow with, so it'll just be eye candy with a bit of street squealing from time to time.

Thanks for that! Yeah, my original 75, back in the early '80s, had a 360 and 727, with the standard rear differential. I did an overhaul once, put it back together, and promptly turned the stock diff into a shiny, shattered paper weight. Had a local shop owner tell me that the 727 was the ONLY...

That's what I've heard, but I just don't know what "built right" means, as part of me still believes automatic transmissions work on about 10% magic. :)

Well, crap, forgot to put more pertinent info! I haven't gone through the engine yet, but will likely run a mild cam, and have the cylinders bored to the next size as needed. I have NO idea about final horsepower. I think stock was what, like 270-275? I'd like to increase that a bit just for...
