Hello everyone, I am new to the site and an currently looking at a 1976 Dart for sale for $8000.
This is my first muscle / classic ever.
I am really considering this car. is there any reason why I should be concerned? I wish it were a 70, but its still nice to look at.
I looked at it and drove it the other day. It has a 360 engine and brand new 4 barrel carb. It was recently painted ground up. (few year ago)
the body looks good except where someone tried to break into the car a while ago and chipped paint at the tip of the hood (barely noticeable and dented the top of the car above the drivers door probably in frustration when the couldn't get into the car.
The interior has a new dash cover, headliner and it appears that the seats are upholstered.
The exhaust is new with dual flowmasters.
I looked under the car and there isnt a trace of rust anywhere, infact its coated in black. the body is painted as if it were stripped down first. I felt inside the quarter panels, and fenders for rust, dust and grime. Nothing... I was shocked.
The pics kind of make the car look yellow, but its really more green in cloudy weather. I like that. It has scat pack stickers on the rear windows and stripe... not too sure about that.
The vin on the dash, title and fender all match. I didn't know anywhere else to look at the time. For anyone who wants to help me out here, the vin and fender sticker with car options is below. I was able to decode some of the information but would love to know more.
