Yeah,I feel you’re right. He seemed annoyed that I wanted to look it over and drive it first,when that’s just standard procedure when buying any car. Afterwards when I told him it wasn’t shifting into 3rd the attitude was “so are you going to buy it”. Speedometer,temp and gas gauges didn’t work either. Honestly,I’d be happy with a 318,273 or slant six 67-69 car. Not looking to go racing. Just wanted one for a daily driver. 318’s get prettt decent mileage.
Unfortunately there’s a lot of junk out there and sellers are asking insane prices for it. There’s a 69 Dart Slant six “custom” 4dr for $8,500. It’s pretty clean,but that’s just a lot of money. I also saw a 67 Belvedere 2 (4 Dr) with 318 that had flat tires,a busted windshield and hasn’t run in 15 years for $10,000. That just seems crazy to me. That’s running 2dr hardtop territory
