I don't remember the name to be honest, I didn't care about the drivetrain since outside of it being an original 340 or 383 GTS I wasn't going to use it. All i'm saying is the one I bought I felt very very fortunate to buy, would rather it wasn't an AC car but bought a non AC firewall for it........also this one was listed at 3500 and I purchased for 3000 whereas the one the OP is asking about is being offered at 11,500.......huge difference.
This car also has factory 68 Dart buckets too which is a nice plus, new wiring harnesses from M & H, new front and back glass rubbers etc.
The OP did state in the first message that the drivetrain is worthless to him and he was going to give it away.
His words not mine
Unless you want to build/restore one, you are better off waiting and looking for a nice car, pay the extra and have something you don't have to work on for a few years to complete. If you have to build it from scratch it had better be cheap. Even if you do all the work it will cost you $15+ to complete. Your choice.
I hate to tell you too but your theory is flawed.....68 Darts will ALWAYS be the most sought after and desirable for many reasons in my opinion but what's not opinion is the 68 Dart was the Hemi Dart and for that reason alone will make them the number 1 all time sought after and most valuable to buy.
He’s a nice guy. Perhaps somebody else likely told him it was worth that and he’s rolling the dice. You know what they say, ask high and let them talk you down. He did say he wanted to do something with it but as he learned more about what it would take (k member, etc) he got discouraged. He was pretty straight with me I just didn’t want to make an offer just yet.
