Hey guys, My father has a '85 Mustang, LX 5.0 5-speed, 36k miles special order car, found it in a barn last year. Runs and Drives great..100% the way it came from the factory. Last year for a Carb on a Mustang..

His Friend has a '69 Dart GTS 340, California car runs and drives, but has a tick in the motor, so will need rebuilt. Pretty much complete, buckets are ripped, looks like the car may of been hit before and repaired, front looks a little..off if that makes any sense, and someone welded the hood bulges to a flat hood(did a pretty good job doing it though) car is very solid was a 340, Auto, A/C car

My question is, would this be a fair trade? Hes asking $5900 for the Dart, and we figure the Mustang is worth between 6 or 7...but i could be wrong, what do you all think?

Fox body mustangs are a dime a dozen, I don't care how nice they are. I make that trade all day long.

Unmolested 36,000 mile ones are no where near a dime a dozen.




Depends what your father wants.. Something that he can drive now or something that needs another $15,000 to be half decent driver like that dart.
 
What he really wants is 67-9 A body, preferably a 2 door post valiant, but the guy offered his GTS, thus why i posted :D

If he is not worried about numbers and originally (that dart i doubt has the original 340)he can do way way better then that mess of a dart. Sell the stang outright and go find a real nice dart or valiant. Probably be ahead of the game money wise too...
 
It's an unmolested notchback 4 eye carbed mustang. The guy with the dart would need to come up with about 4-5 g to get that trade out of me.
 
that trade isn't worth it, the Dart is worth 3000 tops the way it sits, looks to be a smog 318 out of a mid 80's truck in place of whatever used to be there, doubt it was 340

he would have to pay quite abit in the difference for the fox body if it was me, around here they sell anywhere between 8-11K
 
Damn sure don't do a straight trade. I can't stand fords, but I know that dart don't come with lube....
