Question on what i should pay for a 1973-1974 dart sport
I doubt very much the stripes and scoop were from the factory if it's a '74. They could be from the dealer, but that's a whole different story.
If the car is rust and bondo free and the drivetrain is in good repair I can see paying $4 to $5k for it, especially in Canada. Maybe a little more because of the Canada thing, you guys seem to pay a lot for these cars up there.
I paid $2k for my '74 /6 Duster, original paint, 91k original miles, no real rust at all. But the /6 was on its last legs, and it wasn't exactly perfect. This is what it looked like after I cleaned it up a little and put cop rims on it.
I love guys like you. No imagination whatsoever. Keeps prices down on the 73+ cars though, and that's good. I bought my '74 for $2k and put a complete '71 front end on it for $500. I paid $300 for the tail panel. So, now it looks like a '71 Demon, and I only paid about $3k. Good luck finding a '71 Demon, rust free, for that. Not to mention I can do anything I want to it without damaging the resale value, if I cared, which I don't.
Not that there's anything wrong with the 73+ cars anyway, I'd rather drive a 73+ car than anything new. They almost always have BBP disk brakes, unlike the useless SBP drums on the early cars. Better engine mounts, better sway bar design, BBP 8.25's in the V8 cars, what's not to like?
