1968 Dart Project, thoughts

Just got off the phone...here is what I learned:

There is a running 318 in the car, the other 318 is a block with gaskets and the 340 head is for the motor out of the car

727 torque flight tranny, converted from column shift to floor shift, has multiple shifters (hole not drilled for shifter yet)

no drive shaft installed, has 7.25 rear

car currently has a bench seats but he has buckets out a barracuda that need "cleaned up" and the consel he says is perfect, also two dash pads, will need head liner

was originally a /6 car, now has the '69 v8 with the correct frame mods

will need a new passenger floor pan

it has air shocks set up

says he has lots of double parts from another car he had that he sold

he has owned the car since he was 13, now is 25 and needs to sell cause of a court case and needs a lawyer, but in no hurry to sell, he says it has been garaged since he had it, rims in great shape

says he wants at least $3000 for it

more pics coming sunday

any new opinions with further info?

crawl under it and look for any rust/rot under the car. frame rails or suspension attaching points are a deal killer for me. look in the trunk especially the spare tire well. look closely at the window frames. then check the lower parts of the front fenders. lower corners of doors and the lower edge of rear quarter panels. if it is what he says it is with a solid body then i would offer him 2800 and then work your way to 3k if he wont budge.


a solid foundation will save you a ton of money in the long run.
