I'm restoring one now, mainly because it was bought new by my favorite Aunt. My whole family adored her. Besides, it only has 60K miles and was gently driven. Very little wear and tear.
Does anyone like 4 door A body mopes?

Yep, I have a 75 Dart SE, third owner both previous owners quit driving due to age. Slant six, factory A/C, one repaint in original colors. Only problem was the trans and power steering sector leaked like a sieve due to sitting around to much. Makes a good snow plow too...LOL
Yep, better than a 2 door shivvvvy or furd. And any foreign car.
4 doors, no waiting

"More door" is probably the most structurally Ridgid of the models
What does a guy do with all of those extra doors?

I love 4 door cars. At car shows, I find myself drawn to them. If I had the room for another car, it would probably be a 67-70 Plymouth Fury or Chrysler 4 door HT.
Keep them locked.
2 of the best cars I've ever owned were 4 door Mopars. A 75 Valiant Broughm V8 car & a 88 Diplomat with the Police Package. I paid $200 bucks for each & beat the Hell out of both cars for a few years, & neither one ever let me down. I'll buy another one if one comes around, for sure.
4doors are great parts cars! They were not cool then and definitely not cool now.
The only time they are better is with little ones. Car seats suck with 2 doors especially bench seats.

Most 4 doors are usually are very nice cars. Most are old person kept condition and make great parts cars. I found that using 4 doors for parts on restos of 2 doors is a money saver. And usually much nicer parts then you can buy. We save everything off these cars. Valiant had a bad engine was $800. Darts ran like new and was $2500. Just some examples

Oldmanmopar,
Do you have front arm rests that you can sell me? Mine is a '73 Dart, 4-door. Apparently, there is a difference in the armrests between 4 and 2 door cars. All of the '73 armrests on ebay are different than mine. (Am I allowed to ask that on this forum? Or maybe wrong place to ask?)
And yes, those are great parts cars. Lots of pristine looking pieces on those!

73 Dart, 30,000 miles, 318, disc brakes, AC, $500 because it was a 4 door.

Just realize IF you ever want to sell, 99% of the possible buyers, consider it a parts car.
I had wanted to build a more door Mopar of some flavor for years. Then about 2 years ago, I got 64 Bel 318 poly, good runner, PO had rebuilt the front end, on trade I had zero in the car. Nothing. I replaced the windshield, I did all the body /paint (It already had a full MD floorpan installed), most of interior.run drove great! Good title. I sold my 64 Savoy and decided to sell this Bel. It took a year to get $2500 out of it and the buyer drove from Ne to Tx for it as it was a "steal". Yea I went in the hole. He made a 6.4 hemi car out of it!

Friend of mine had a 69 Dart 4 door 15 years ago. He was divorced and trying to date... got rid of it cause the women wern't impressed. I told him "well ya look like an old pervert pulling up in it..." isn't like it was a Swinger or A body Barracuda ...we were 40 at the time 
I wil say though I like the beak car version of the 4 door its more plush where the 60s early 70s cars were spartan. The mid 70s cars seemed to have better carpet A/C and woodgrain trim, the seats seemed more padded with fold down armrests etc. I would take a beak car 4 door with a 318 and ralley wheels I think thats cool to see these days.
