A-bodies over priced?
All I can say is DUH!!
Got into the A body because I could afford it. That was in 92. Now the price of parts is criminal and repressive.
Good luck restoring your Dart on a tight budget.
And yes, I believe the market is being artificially inflated by those who would like to have it that way. Just like oil.
All I know is nobody else will get what's mine in useable condition. I'll personally ensure that.
