Bent frames can be straightened by a good frame guy, but it costs some $$$.


I would offer $500.
 
It that is all the damage it has, it looks pretty minor.

This is a rare 1966 Dodge Dart Slant Six Station Wagon that I'm parting out if necessary. I'm hoping someone has a clean old '60s Dart or Valiant where the body is in great shape but needs a drive train etc....or can straighten this unibody "frame". It was running fine until June 2013 when a BMW tagged it pretty good right behind the front passenger-side wheel. It has all sorts of parts that were upgraded to improve the car over stock. INCLUDES: Halogen headlights, parking lights wired into headlight circuit ( they come on with headlights-not stock), front non-power disc brakes (1974 Dart A-arms with big-bolt lug pattern 5 on 4.5), 318 V8 torsion bars (heavier than SL6 bars), late model (1990s) dual master cylinder, front and rear Addco sway bars, (4) big bolt pattern (5 on 4.5) 14 x 5.5 rallye rims, (4) very good 195-70-14 radial tires (2 fronts are Michelin) with good spare, 1970 Dart A/C radiator with shroud, very strong 225 c.i. Slant Six engine (needs hardened valve seats someday because of no-lead gas) with electronic ignition, rare Barracuda/Dart rallye steering wheel, Barracuda/Dart bucket seat rails with bucket seats, AM/FM radio with CD player, A833 six cylinder 4 speed transmission that works great with flange yoke and with rebuilt (by Hurst) Competition Plus shifter with a Hurst T-handle handle, 8.75 (489) 3.23 rear end from a Coronet station wagon with 10" rear drums, subframe connectors, heavy duty 5 leaf springs, LED brake and taillights. It still drives to deliver, but needs work. It is registered in CA until February 2014. I'm hoping for a reasonable offer, or to find a good donor car to put all of this good stuff onto. It such a shame. This was a very good functioning car that I had on the road for 38 years until Mr. Marin "Hot Dog" BMW had to pass a whole line of stopped cars on the right hand side (illegal), through a right turn only lane (illegal), and bike lane (illegal) to t-bone me. Thanks, pal.
 
Thank you all for the input crzycuda and colecto i just got skooled on the trans in reguards to compatability with a V8 not the most desirable combo thanks again
 
Check out the Pittsburgh Pa Craigslist, there has been a 66 Dart Wagon with a 65 4door for sale. The asking price for both cars is now $1450. He says the wagon needs a radiator and carb, worth a phone call.
