People who let rare cars rot.
I paid $350 for the Dart Sport . Fighting snakes and rodents it took 3 of us about 1 hour to get it on the trailer. we almost brohe the car in two. I took the stainless and parts that would be usable on my 71's. It had a perfect 75 grille. I had a member come here for parts he told me he is interested in the grille so I pulled it .
It was very hard to get it out due to every screw and bolt fighting me and I had no clue what was holding things together. We didn't agree on a price and I really didn't know its value because I do not follow 75 parts worth. After about 4 hours I got it out in perfect condition. Mostly going after screws from the back and cutting them off with a cut off wheel. About a pack of wheels later I called him and he came back the next day.
I told him to make me a reasonable offer. He looked at it for about 20 minutes. These were his words.
" After looking at it it is going to need to be disassembled , repainted and the aluminum parts polished I am willing to give you $50 and take the chance it won't break when taking it apart"
I got on the golf buggy drove it over and told him "leave"!. His face was unforgettable. That alone was worth the time I spent.
I saw him at Carlisle yesterday with his 75 dart with a ugly pieced together Grille. and dented head light rims he tried to straighten. I drove up to the front of his car on my buggy. Looked at him then his grille smiled and drove off.
