Advice on buying a '75 dart.

Thanks for posting the photos. Looks good but then a light coloured car with pics taken at the right angles can be deceiving. As others have said, bring a magnet.

In advance of making the drive there, ask him for a photo of the fender tag (which is different from the VIN tag that someone above mentioned). The fender tag shows some of the options the car had and it’s located near the battery on the horizontal surface that the windshield washer fluid is bolted to. It’s a metal tag that’s about 2”x 3” and screwed to that surface. Will have a bunch of codes (mainly three characters like N95 and G51) along with the VIN of the car along the very bottom row of the tag.

If the seller professes to not know much about the car, it’s an easy question to ask why he thinks it’s worth $6k compared to another number. If he says “I’m not sure” or “I saw a Dart sell on TV for $20k so this has got to be worth $6k” then provide him with your info/reasoning as to why think it’s worth less. The off brand seats are one hit, your magnet test might also justify a price drop too. Overall the ‘73+ A bodies are not that desirable compared to the earlier A bodies. And I’m not slagging them since I’ve got a ‘75 Scamp!
