In all my years I have never sold one!! Split many apart for ther sure grip but never sold a complete one. Not a for sale ad, just cleaning up and stumbling across my board of useless parts

Very cool

As said, ballast resistor.

well the grill can probably pull $600 to the right buyer, $900 for the body, $500 for the rear, $2000-ish is top dollar. if it were local i would offer $1500.

Sorry, but unless its a 340 these a body cars just aren't that collectible. 7k maybe for this exampe.

Sweet. Are you going to replace the dash frame? Or splice in the sheet metal and cover with the wood grain.

thanks for posting this, i am 99% sure this is the route i go. it will ensure the car is made drive-able. if i start with replacing rails, i have a feeling it will never get done. nearing the end of frame rail connectors and floor pans on my 66 dart, i know the frame caps would be a breeze to...

I love the grille on that year

yeah, it sat nose down in a field for a while before i got a hold of it, its really just those parts of the front rails and the fire wall that are structural and really rotten. the rest of the car actual, although scary looking isnt that bad. i

ok, to update i have been clearing out the garage to make room to work on this, so pics from on the trailer will have to do for now, as you can see the drivers side is pretty roached. both look patch-able as the rot is limted to the lower portion of the front rails and the t-bar cross members...

thanks all for the feedback, glad to see the support. the plan right now is to save it.... i will get more pics for you guys over the weekend and we can collectively assess the damage. its on my trailer but should be good enough to see what we are working with here. unfortunately i will be...

Deep down i know you're both right, but i am going to resist sanity on this one until i get it on the lift. If it can be patched, it will get repaired...but to be clear will not be a restoration.

This is what i needed to hear. I will get pics when its up on the lift. To start i think patching the frame rails and floor and fire wall are mandatory...and to be honest part of the reason i wanted the car was to test my skills.

now that would be something, although wife already wants to kill me for dragging it home.

classic!

yeah, i know its got some good parts, which is why even though i paid relatively a lot for it, i know between what i would keep and what i could sell i would be ok. but parting it is not on the table right now.

agree, option 2 for the forseeable future, red on black 340 4 speed, its basically my dream car all roached out.

not yet, but i can get one later, any chance thats original, or probably after market?

i bought this dart with intentions to restore, or at least do the bare minimum to make it the ultimate beater. its a legit 340-4 speed and mostly complete, nicely optioned car but has serious rust issues. worst parts are the t-bar cross member and lower front frame rails, firewall is moth-eaten...

Always something!

High 5

9k ? 22 no way

Time to go long w123 Mercedes diesels

The problem is a restoration will run 50grand for something in that condition. So say thecar is worth 10 grand as it sits? And 60 when done?

never happen again? hell cat? 5.0 Coyote mustang? super charged chevy ls whatever its called? the HP wars are on again.

] yup same here, i wanted it bad, but i have enough cars to keep me busy. IMO buyer got a great buy. nice drivers like this that are reasonably priced are hard to come by.

I have seen restored nom cars with 340 in 15k range. Makes these ebay type cars irrelevant. Unless you want to spend 25k when done to restore a 15k car.

Sounds like a lot of work for a core 440.

Good stuff. Check and check again is how i operate as well

there is one locally here on craigs...68/9 dart, 273 car covered to 340/727/8&3/4 rear. restored and really really really nice. 14,000. some good deals are out there.
