1966 D/Dart

How numbers matching is the car? How original? As what I would call ultra-rare car I'd think the money is strong at $40K. It's been hot rodded. For top dollar I'd need to see matching numbers on block and trans (or in the case of these earlier cars year-wise consistent production dates for components), the right gearing, the factory headers and Y pipe, stock wheels with something like period tires, and the stock engine compartment and components. Otherwise it's someone else's interpretation of what the D Dart should have been and not the factory one. Just my opinion of course... I like the car and would love a charity donation :D but I wouldnt drop more than $30K on it assuming I had it to spend. I would think with average desirability (comparing to TA/AAR/SS Dart-Cudas/Hemi cars) this will fetch bids around $30K tops. If the car has no reserve I think it could be stolen for less than that in this market. The people that have the cash will be looking for top investment quality and this one needs work to really be that quality looking quick and IMO. I'm also not a car dealer...lol.

Given that the guy that owns the car didn't drop his reserve on a high bid of 40K at the last auction I'm sure he probably won't let it go for 30K. The only thing that makes this car rare and collectable is the LO23. I didn't see that he had any racing heritage provided with the cars description. if I'm not mistaken ddartdude stated that the car didn't have the original engine and that he made mods to the car to make it streetable when he owned it. It wouldn't be hard to build a 273 to D/Dart specs.
