Auction - '68/'69 Dart Suspension and Brake parts and misc other stuff
Please see link at the end of this post to see more photos.
All this stuff goes to the highest bidder. Let me know if you are interested.
I am cleaning out my garage and attic and have a group of parts from my ’68 and ’69 Darts that I am selling. As you will see from the pictures there are some other things I am letting go as well. I am selling these parts as one lot and the highest bidder gets the entire lot. I am not trying to get rich off this lot. I am just trying to get the garage cleaned out for the next project. I am posting these parts on 2 Mopar sites first and if I get a decent offer I will let them go to the highest bidder. If not I am going to post the lot on Craigslist and Facebook Market. I am located in the San Francisco East Bay Area and I will not be parting out individual parts or doing any shipping so you will need to be able to pick up the parts here. Below are a few of the parts and other info:
- Some of the parts are off a ’69 340 Dart and some are off my current ’68 Dart.
- Some of the parts are new and I never used them for one reason or another.
- I replaced all the suspension on my ’68 Dart and put tubular A arms and 4 wheel disk brakes on it and did other general suspension upgrades. As a result you will see there is an entire set of brake drums, spindles, master cylinder, A arms, torsion bars, struts, etc… The drums and brake pads have little wear on them from what I can tell.
- The torsion bars, A arms, and front suspension struts are powder coated black
- the exhaust manifolds are stock 340 manifolds that do not have any cracks. I put headers on my car and no longer need these manifolds. They were media blasted and checked for cracks before I got the car. While I had them on my car they did not leak.
- The torsion bars are powder coated and from a ’68 6 cylinder car I am pretty sure so they are the lighter ones. They are not bent.
- There are some miscellaneous parts and tools I just threw in as I am getting rid of them and decided to just throw them in instead of trash them.
- Chrome exhaust tips are in perfect condition
- Ball joints and spindles are included and are in very good condition
- There is a like new center section ring and pinion. It is from a 8.75 rear end that is the 489 casting. It came out of a ’68 Dart but the ratio seems to be closer to a 3.89 or 3.55 or something. It is not steep like a 4.10 but on the highway it was running about 3500 rpm at 65 or 70 mph as best I can remember. It is a limited slip diff.
- There is a set of axels that came out of the 8.75 rear end from the ’68 Dart. They are straight and have new Green Bearings on them. There are a couple of studs that could be used to be replaced but you could run them as they are if you want.
- There are two sets of mufflers with only about 1,000 or 2,000 miles on each set. One set was new and on the car when I got it and then I replaced them with a nice set but that set are too loud. I know… that they can’t be too loud for us but my wife disagrees. I now have a 3rd set on the car that I like. So, the two sets of mufflers that are going with this lot are like new.
- There is a set of offset shackles and front spring perches to move the leaf springs inward to get more tire clearance. I ended up getting the right look and stance without moving the springs inboard.
- There are some new braided brake lines and miscellaneous brake line connectors and fittings,
- The coil and all the plug wires are in great condition.
- There is an adjustable set of SPAX shocks that have quite a few miles on them but still work. Not really worth that much but I threw them in case you want them.
- There is a WheelRite device to use to measure the back spacing for tires and wheels so you can determine the right rims for your car.
- There is one timing light. It is not a dial back light.
- I have included 2 pictures to show how all the parts are boxed up for you when you come. They all fit in the back of a smaller or mid-sized SUV if you do not have a truck.
