74 Dodge Dart Swinger. What’s it worth?

I see guys buying projects to restore back East that have such frame rust issues and just slant or 318 cars, I do not see WHY they do not take the gamble and buy something solid from the West and pay the $1000 shipping. You guys show pics of the underside and everywhere else, I just shake my head. I also occasionally see cars listed for sale back there that have survived with out such issue and of course, they cost more and are well worth the extra$. Just my opinion.
Yes good projects priced for what they are really worth are getting few and farther between, I will go look at a 67 dart slant roller next Mon, post car, minimum rust, pretty straight, just needs some patch panels in the always places... come with good running 360...
and the slant he pulled out. Price? $1250 w/ title.. 4 hrs away, NO not in my backyard.
I bet it will look like a car worth maybe $1500-1800 to me.

Remember be careful of what panels you have to buy to fix your car. Is the top crease/bodyline smashed where that crease can not be pulled and straightened? Few repop quarter panels skins go up above that crease or edge whatever you want to call it.
Thank you Barbee6043. I really appreciate your input. The car I was looking at, which is obviously way overpriced, was not for me to restore it and make something nice out of. it was basically an option for a first car for my boy. Seems like a solid tank that would protect him well as a first car.
