So this is what I'm working with 1973 dodge dart swinger 318block it's a numbers matching car I think gotta do more research about that I changed color from forest green to silver
Also I posted pictures of the carb which I believe is a Holley 650 edelbrock intake and the 360 heads and all parts with them and it's also a factory A/C car
Also if anyone know what would you appraise this car at?

Was there a question in there LOL? Looks like a pretty good start. What is with the heads?
 
$1.5K, assuming it runs and drives.

No offense, but this is why:

Beak nose, driver's door does not close properly according to 4th pic, interior is trashed with wires just hanging, flat tires, 318 cars are a dime a dozen, leaf springs are shot with long shackles which makes me wonder what other things have redneck fixes (no offense intended to rednecks like me), etc...

I'm not saying I wouldn't have been glad to have that as a daily driver in my younger days; I drove a 75 Dart Sport in similar condition for years and I loved that car. I hope you enjoy it, but hope that you didn't buy it to try to make money as it probably won't turn out favorably.
 
I have a 73 LH23 and also think it's worth about 2,500 the way it sits, but that doesn't mean that's all you would get for it if you sold it.

I have seen ones like that sell for around 4, but I think they paid too much obviously.
 
I'm in the less than $2k camp. I would also want to see the underbody to know what the rust condition was before even going that high.

Rust can be a total deal breaker and might drop the value below $1k if it's bad enough.

You can get a nice beak-nose for $11-12k which is far less than that one will take to get into the same condition.

Here's an example...

I can't tell from the pictures - 2k if the paint and body work is pretty good. If the body's not straight and the paint is bubbling from bondo over rust? 5-8 hundred maybe.....
 
I'll give ya 100 bucks , oh yea I forgot this ain't 1980. 1500 now
 
There is only rust in the floor pan rest of the body is rust free and the undercarriage was rhino lined
PS half the work was done by previous owner i.e. shackles tachometer and a few other things other than that everything else is still stock from 73
 
Well,there was a more desirable year and a rust free Cali dart sold here recently. $1200 was the asking price.It was a slant 6...I think it was a 70?
 
I based my assessment of the car not on the paint job, but what it is covering! The interior is a mess, underhood is a mess and still the original color, which to me shows no quality of workmanship, or a former owner who even cared enough to keep the car presentable! The interior pretty much says it all tho, that's where you ride man, and that should pretty much tell you how the car was treated by its former owners!

Here is a car that was for sale by my house, which I would say is an accurate comparison! Owner just shot a non Mopar paint job right over all of the flaws in the car and did nothing to any other area of the car! Still the ugly and tattered original tan colored interior, and all of the other things the car really needs! Anyone can shoot a top coat on a car and call it "restored", it's what's underneath that counts!!

I stand by my assessment at $1800, although I would not personally pay that!
