So I went to look at a local dart last week...

Just wondering what your guy's opinion is on it. Looking at this dart for a daily driver. Certainly needs a decent amount of work and the floor pans don't look so good (also small hole in driver side) but for a North-eastern car it looks pretty solid to me. Runs & drives but wasn't able to test drive it because it needed a new waterpump.

You will find plenty of rust under the vinyl top. No marker light holes on the rear quarters. In the picture where the guy is holding the black board it looks like spray foam in the right quarter panel. This thought comes to mind "Bondo Billy". You need to go look closer and look at the undercarriage.

My opinion is that there is a ton of rust issues with that car and there is a ton of filler in it. One thing that I have learned is that it is worth it to find a fairly rust free car and pay more up front.

First 2 pics look good after it goes down hill. But you can fix it i am sure.

Well the first two pictures are from the ad, the rest are what I took in person so it makes sense haha.

Thanks for all the replies though I guess the excitement of finding a dart that wasn't 500 miles away kind of clouded my judgement.

That car was listed for $2999, reduced from $8900. The guy never got back to me. I have a thing for 68 Darts and would love to have one, but that thing looks like a parts car to me.
