Thanks! Much appreciated.Dennis feel free to pm me with questions, my dart is complete and original (aside from replacement parts) I'm happy to get you photos etc.
Just remember, most likely you will lose a dollar for every two dollars spent. Spend thirty grand on a complete restoration, and end up selling the finished vehicle for fifteen grand down the line.
Thanks for the tip. Looks like a great car.If you're still interested in a convertible, there's a '68 Dart on Chicago craigslist for 17K. It says it's located in Milwaukee, Wi. Pics looked clean. I think it said west coast car.
Wow. I'm two pages in and feel like I need to pace myself. Those are some ambitious dudes. Or something.I say buy them both and do a "muddacres" job on them.....14 pages of sheer fun reading...
Birth of a 1970 Dart Convertible
About 30 years ago, I bought a 67 B'cuda vert to be a father son project. After it was taken apart, 2 operations on my spine, the sons drug addiction, even a insect called power post beetle, combined to move the goal out of my reach.Financially speaking, buying someone else’s build is almost always a better choice. But then you don’t have all the fun, or the bragging rights, and it won’t be all exactly to your taste.
Wow that's quite a story. Thanks for sharing. It is so weird too, because I've been looking at an ad for a '67 Cuda Fastback 383 4 speed for like the last 30 minutes. Blue with a white racing stripe and a white interior. It is a beauty. They are asking way too much for it ($25,500 as a driver, not a show car), but I think I am going to go see if they are willing to deal.About 30 years ago, I bought a 67 B'cuda vert to be a father son project.

In 2004 I bought a 67 notchback at ebay. 3 different planes to reach Samamish Washington. The trip clock to home showed 2854 miles. That was 3 and half days. I consider that alone to be bragging rights before I mention my console mounting brackets, DeMonIVR, custom rally inst' panels, etc.., that stemmed from this purchase. I can claim/brag that a lot of owners are happier with theirs because I bought this one when I did.
Over the years we have got much enjoyment from driving this car, the car shows and cruise-ins, all while shielding our eyes from the the vert project that is still scattered here. Nothing but grief stemmed from that purchase.
The early big block factory builds do cost more. My seller was original owner, knew what he had, guaranteed me I could drive it across country. New hoses and fluids, 5 new tires, ready to go. He was as pleased to see it go to a good home as I was with the purchase. No haggle.Wow that's quite a story. Thanks for sharing.
