66 dart gt radiator whats it worth???

[johnmucci]

I have the orgininal radiator from my 66 dart gt v8....I had to buy a 3 core champion when we put the 360 in it... the orginial radiator has a pinhole leak. Is it worth having fixed and then try to sell it or should I just try to sell it as is?? and what is the value either way??? thanks, John

Well I'm no mechanic..but when I drove it to the shop, I smelled coolant..popped the hood and just below the top "tank"..I saw coolant coming out of the radiator on the passenger side blowing out toward the front of the car...it was a steady stream about the size of a needle..

Anyone interested in this radiator..I really don't know what its worth as is?? opinions????

The leak you saw was the infamous "split seam" that is common in the round-top radiators. Mine also usually failed on the front side. I use a square-top or aluminum radiator in my 3 Mopars now. I forget originality if the design was bad.
