1970 Dart solid project car for sale, many extras
Hi, I apologize for my first post being a For Sale posting. I've been a member for a couple years and have lurked often just not usually real talkative... let me make up for it below :)
My name is Chris and I've been a Mopar fan since the '80s. Unfortunately, life has not gotten any less busy for me the past couple years, and it's not showing any signs of getting less busy so I don't see myself getting around to this project anytime soon. My love of Mopar is no less though, and once this sells, I will be looking for a more "finished" Mopar to enjoy. I would consider trading this toward something more finished as well. I owned a lot of Mopars in the past, including one that would be pretty pricey today, but of course I sold them off all in the early '90s. Doh!
So, to go with this very solid '70 Swinger, I've collected many of the main pieces to the puzzle and would like to sell this as a complete package ready to begin teardown and rebuild.
Without further ado...
1970 Dart Swinger, all original, 318 car with original 318 still in place. Lived in California most of its life and is very solid. Factory air and blue tinted windows. Made in Canada. 904/8.25 (but see the extras, this is already taken care of.) I was in contact with the 2nd owner's family (owned since around 1973 I think it was), so I know quite a bit of the car's history.
Was B5 blue and the darker blue paint was due to a respray that probably could have been done better, and the car looks a lot worse for it that it probably would otherwise. It would need a strip and respray either way I suppose.
Condition: Car was running and driving around 3 years ago, but now that it's been sitting and the brakes have lost pressure, I don't think it's worth getting running again rather than just starting the rebuild/restore. Floors and trunk are solid. Will need a couple patches behind rear wheels, and there is some crust on the underbody but nothing serious. Has factory undercoating. As far as I can tell, the only panel that I don't have that may need to be replaced completely or partially is the passenger's quarter, but without stripping it, I can't tell. Maybe it's fine.
Interior for the most part is really nice. Panels are all good, back seat is fantastic (just a little dirty), and I tore out the headliner and carpet already (both medium blue) to make sure it wasn't holding any moisture against the metal. Interior will need those, plus new front seat cover/foam, dash pad, and a few details. Comes with the steering wheel you see lying on the seat as well.
Grille: One of the nicest '70 grilles you'll ever see. It's nearly flawless.
Other: All glass (blue-tinted) is good. Most of the trim is quite nice.
Extras: PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS!
- Aside from the solid and complete car with most of the parts usable...
- NOT SHOWN: brand new repro hood scoops with new repro chrome bezels.
- Extra steering wheel as seen on the front seat in pics.
- A-Body 8.75" rear (open), so no need to cut or modify, just bolt it in.
- 727 trans, I was told this was good by someone I trust but of course no guarantees.
- 1970 disc brake front spindles so you can keep small bolt wheels.
- extra good front bumper (not shown).
- 4 small bolt pattern Rallye wheels.
- straight and solid driver's side fender so you won't have to bother fixing that dent in the fender.
- extra passenger's door. Not sure if it's needed, but there you go.
- I could get you a complete 360 if that would be useful to you.
- I have a hood that has cutout and bolt holes for a Hemi-style scoop if you want it. (you can see it behind the car in the 7th photo).
Price: $2900 for everything. Will NOT sell any of the parts off the main car or any of the extras separately so please don't ask. But I will consider selling just the base car without any of the extras (or with some of them mix and match what you can use, we can work something out). I may be able to use some of the other parts, but I'd rather sell it all at once. I am possibly willing to talk about price, BUT please do not shoot me lowballs, as this is not a car I am desperate to sell. It is not a hardship situation. It can sit in the garage if necessary, but I would like for it to go to a good home all the same. Don't like the price range or anything else, please move along.
Location: Car is located near Milwaukee, WI. Pickup only.
Thanks for looking. Once I finally get another Mopar driver, I'll probably have a lot more to say around here. See ya around. - Chris
