[Found!] WTB A or B body V8 West Coast

ledman · Jun 22, 2019

Looking for a nice “Driver” coupe, years 67-75 A or B body,
Duster/Dart/Demon/Scamp/Valiant/ Roadrunner/Satellite/Coronet/Dart Sport/barracuda, on the west coast area? Willing to travel for the right car within 1000 miles
I live in Las Vegas.
AC a plus!!

Looking for Prices under 16k, I don’t expect a show car for this kind of money but a nice, straight and solid rust free driver

Must be a good running/ driving V-8 with no engine/trans or leaking issues, sorry no 273/318’s or /6 cars looking for a 340 or larger please, just my choice.
I have nothing against those motors.
Auto or manual I have no preference.
Must have a posi/sure grip rear end.

Clones/tributes ok, and I don’t care if it’s matching numbers but I’m NOT looking for a project or rust bucket, no salvage/rebuilt titles please.
Message me with what you have and pics/videos links and asking price.
Pics

for attention!
Thank you

I just re read his post. Sorry I thought he couldn't decide to part out or sell.
Guess he's just got bored and wanted to talk crap.

It’s in interesting read, he’s wanting to know what someone would do if forced to sell their car thay have too much money in and WAY too much time in to get top dollar.
I’m in that situation now and there’s no way I would part this car out.
But life isn’t always fair and I will be selling it and taking a great loss, but as I said in the other post, hopefully it will get someone into a really amazing car for a reasonable entry fee.
It’s a 1974 Dart Sport with a 5.9L Magnum 360 column auto with original paint.
I’m not quite finished, AC still needs lines made and some tuning. Great car.

PM me if you are interested, not listing until I get it finished.
I’m in Phoenix AZ

Part it out for $40 K !!!??? Wow

I might get close. Great running 375 HP 340 with 6,000 miles in complete rebuild that has a LOT of name brand performance parts (MSD, Edelbrock Comp Cams, Mopar Performance...), 4 speed with 5,000 on rebuild, Hurst shifter and handle, console, excellent sheet metal (when is the last time you saw a rust free 69 Barracuda hood, doors, fenders, etc for sale), excellent grills, A/C, Disc Brakes, Excellent seats, good glass, sbp Cragars with new tires, 8.75 with 3.55 sure grip with 5,000 miles on rebuild, and LOTS of other good parts. It would be a pain (and take a while, but when all was said and done, I don't think I'd be too far from that. However, it is a moot point since I could not force myself to cut it up. It is too nice. I'd rather take less and keep it going.

I have made a deal on a ‘74 Duster after watching several videos and allot of pics and talking with the owner on the phone at length we have come to a deal. I’m picking up the car this Friday in San Diego,CA.
California car, originally a /6 car.
Now has a mildly built 360, 8 3/4 rear end, auto, not sure if it’s a 727 or 904.
I told him where to look and he sent me pics verifying it is a 360...I was worried it may be a 318. I almost got duped on that before when buying a car.
Car was restored about 5 years ago.
Fender tag in place.
Some small bubbling in quarters, but after seeing under the car I’m not concerned.
He was asking $15, we agreed on 13.5
