1970 dodge dart

For $4K I think you can do better than that car.

Recently there were several nice A bodies on the Richmond VA craigslist, which is not too far from you, for equal or less money. These cars did not appear to have any rust issues, which is the key to getting a good Mopar.
I have searched all over and I have not found any mopars for sale in SC, NC, or VA that were resonably priced without rust issue.
