What's it worth? 1968 Dart 270

[lemondana]

The one big selling plus for me would be the factory AC. Do you guys that take the AC out of your cars like to sweat, or more likely don't drive them when it gets hot out.

So far have always taken it out and don't drive them when it gets too hot out

totally depends on OP’s intentions on this car.

with the complete classic air kits, the OE stuff is not needed and it’s just more little holes to fill in engine compartment.

Lots of different routes to take.

Between the wing window and the fresh air vent you might be pleasantly surprised.

Here is my 67 Dart 270, that I paid 3200.00 for years ago. A little old ladies car, never left out overnight, never in the r in, never on a gravel road, never driven in the winter. 273 2 bbl, factory AC with R12 that will freeze your *** out. All original paint, original interior, had 59,000 miles on it when I bought it. Special order car.

I wish my car had a/c. Kim

 

[lemondana]

Probably not.

If the money is there when I make powertrain decisions I'd go aftermarket A/C, just because of the size of the compressor.

It doesn’t really get that hot where I live for AC. Maybe a few weeks a year.

 

[autoxcuda]

Probably not.

Well… there you go

In Canada? Just roll the windows down.

The work now begins.

Nice, so what the plan? Let’s see more pictures.

The interior has plenty save-able. The big thing is it’s not very messed with. It’s got a shot dash pad, steering wheel and worn out front seat. That’s going to be typical.

One crack in a dash vs completely trashed is the same thing if you plan to have a restored interior.

Look at it for the good things that will nickel and dime you that are hard to find in good shape.
Look for the positive things:

• It runs and drives, even though you don’t care about the drivetrain it’s a much higher confidence that the frame isn’t bent, or has some strange issue why it’s not running, and the electrical is Salvageable- new dash wiring is over $500
• A-piller cover not cracked
• steering wheel center with minimal pits,
• lower dash pads crack free,
• functioning complete ash tray (one year only),
• panel rust in front of rear wheels

• Good kick panels, arm rest bases, and/or door panels that can be dyed to your choice
• Does it have a HD 22” 031 radiator?
• The 22” fan shroud un-cracked is worth $125

That’s a choice car to make a 68 Hemi S/S clone car.

Yea, $11k may seem high. Need to really look at the how straight the bodywork is and rust on it.

If you’re not willing to pay $8K for it, someone else sure will. If it was a 72 Dart that would be different. A 68 270 model is probably the most desirable 60-76 Dart hardtop /6 car.
If you want to pay $5K for a car like this you’ll have to be the first one to discover it in a garage and it probably won’t be running.

You had to mention the ashtray.... Its missing. If its indeed one year only, if I'm not a purist will other years still work?

Plan is to strip it down and get it to the body shop asap. Beyond that TBD.

It runs and drives great. I'm the 2nd owner. The title in my hand was issued in 1968 at time of purchase.

unfortunately, no

be patient and you can pick one up here for under $50

show some pics of what you have. I’m guessing it’s just missing the pop out ash tray. But never know.

They tend to have issue with the slide out assembly. Someone probably couldn’t figure out how to fix it and left it out
