So today I picked up a 1969 340 Dart that turned out to be in just a little better shape then my 71 swinger. I am kind of bummed to have to get rid of the 71, but I couldn't resist the 69.
My 71 currently has a 360 waiting to rebuilt. It runs. I got to drive it before I bought it out of a 78 Cordoba.
904 tranny from the Cordoba as well.
So far I rebuilt the entire front steering and new ball joints and what not.
I also added disc brakes from a 73 dart. Single caliper, jsut need a master cylinder and prop valve.
I also added a V8 K-member with the spool mounts.
The engine bay is down to bare steel ready to be painted.
A set of large bolt pattern rallyes.
Had a new axle ready to be built but I called it off, so the car still has the little axle.
Interior overall is good, except the front seat has whole in it and the dash pad is cracked pretty bad.
Got the rimblow steering wheel with 2-3 cracks and no horn button.
Overall the car is pretty solid, only rust is in the 3 of the 4 corners and has a solid floor in it. the truck has got surface rust and is worst in the tire bin, but no wholes yet. Pitted though.
So that being said here is the question... I want to sell the 71 as is just to keep it easy... Is it worth anything as a package and how much if it is?
Or should I part it out and try to put some parts on the 69, such as the brakes and what not. Which brings up the next question, will that sort of stuff fit on the 69?
Basically, if I get enough cash and sell the 71 project car, whether its all together or parted out I will start over on the 69. If I can't get enough cash I will part it out keeping what I can for the 69.
thanks
