1972 Dart I picked up for a parts for myself
The hood is one year only due to it has the access holes for a snorkel scoop and the attacment holes are part of the frame. Not the slider attachment plates that plaque the 70-71 hoods with break out . I sold several parts at Carlisle last year and my objective for the weekend was to find a nice 72 hood. I sold mine thinking exactly what some of you said. "I'm close to Carlisle I grab one out there". There was not one hood for a 72 and not one nice hood for any 70-72. Sure there was one 70 hood with scoops for $1200. and the hood had issues. There alway bent down in the front , Rotted around the seams. Inner has holes. Outer has bad surface rust behind inner. Seller brings them to show and stands them on their rear points and ruins the corners. Instead of standing them up on there sides. And sellers think they are gold.
I have been doing this for years . Do you think I would pay $2000 for a car for a hood if If I could find one. And as far as Fiberglass I had a AAR and I gave it to dave friend Jim for $100 . They are not what they are led up to be for a replacement Fitting is poor and the hood trim doesn't fasten properly.
None of you will get my collection when I am gone. I have a son that is worse then I am and several friends that frequent my place. When I go they won't be on this site. They all tell me I am a fool fo listening to some of the Bullshit on here. But there are some good guys that come here that I help with what they need.
This is not a buisness or a hobby . Its a passion. I really like 71 340 Dusters and Demons the rest are just pages in the book of my life. For god sake I just stripped a 70 340 4spd Duster with AC. Do you think this dart means anything to me but a parts car. The duster and Valiant are sitting where Todd just parked the Dart. We call it death doner row. Sort of like that part on your license that say when you die your body goes to science to keep someone else alive. Hundreds have been in this area including some . R/T's GTX's RR's Superbees . Yes even sixpack car years ago. So I do not have feelings for some rotted beyond repair or 4 door a bodies.
