    69 parts car options...?

    I am looking for a donor car to have on hand when I put my 69 Dart back together. the previous owner did a lot of replacing of bolts and now none match... I would like a spare set of parts in the form of a car, that would also act as a roadmap for me to reassemble properly. It would have top be...

    dash refurbish help...?

    I need help, ideas or tips on how to clean up and refurbish my instrument panel and heater control panel. the previous owner painted over it and it looks pretty bad. I have already stripped most of it down, but now I need to think about painting it... Was it originally chrome around the edges...

    is it worth it...?

    I was going to buy another Jeep, my buddy had one for sale that was newer and had less miles. But he happened to sell it just before I called him. I think keeping the Jeep is the way to go for now, but the satellite would be pretty sweet...

    is it worth it...?

    Some random guy offered to buy my Jeep for a very reasonable price. It is pretty much exactly what he has been looking for in a Jeep. I want to say no, but I am tempted by this car... http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/2020857131.html Or this one...

    patch panels?

    I have been looking for a patch panel for a 69 dart. I only need a small piece on the passenger fender, right behind the rear wheel... I have been looking online, but can only find a complete or nearly full rear quarter. Anyone parting a 69 that can cut for me or know where I can buy one?

    need advice, on value

    Thanks! Yes, I was pretty excited at first, but the more I learned, the more my gut said no. Looks like it might be a good project car, but daily driver, might be a stretch. I will keep looking. OR jsut keep the Jeep.

    need advice, on value

    ok yes, this is another what is it worth thread... I am not familiar with barracudas. I was toying with the idea of trading my Jeep for another A-body to use as a daily driver. so i would want something in the 5 to 6k range (value of my Jeep) and needs to be reliably running. I found a few...

    vehicle towing...?

    it is still on wheels, but that is pretty much it. I will have to reconsider the dolley again, but it makes me nervous for so me reason...

    vehicle towing...?

    Here it is in a nutshell... My Dart is stripped down and nowhere near driveable. I need to get it from Colorado Springs, CO to Katy TX. I have a freind that can tow it, but he is pretty busy and would have to do it in a weekend... 17 hours one way would make for a long weekend. So my...

    Losing my job..

    Sorry to hear it and good luck... We just found out a good portion of a group may be moved to consolidate. I am hoping like hell I am not one of them and I am hoping that if I am not, that I still have a job... We should know in 2-3 weeks...

    what is it worth...?

    The only options that were obvious, was the rally dash and it had a spoiler, which was removed... I am probably gonna pass on it, but I am gonna get a VIN and look into a wee bit.
  16. Dart_Guy

    what is it worth...?

    Thanks! I was wee bit confused, 10,000 for paint is still fresh paint, but I see what you are getting. I would get more to enjoy it for a few years then resell later. Not a good market now anyway. And I would not go for a 20,000 restoration, but it would be nice to it the potential for that...

    what is it worth...?

    ok, so what would the price be with fresh paint and seat covers... Wha tis the difference between restored and fresh paint?
  18. Dart_Guy

    what is it worth...?

    It is a 340 car and it only needs new seat covers, which I can do pretty easily. Once complete, would you agree with the aforementioned 20k to 24k? Hell, I might try to buy it fix it up, drive for a summer, then sell for profit... I need to pay off some debt.

    what is it worth...?

    No hoped up engine. Colum shifter and the grill is horizontal slates. Solid Start as far as no rust and it runs. Would need some new interior, probably a front end rebuild and an exterior paint. I will probabyl get the VIN and do more investigating...

    what is it worth...?

    It is pretty stock and I didn't check the VIN yet. I didn't think they were worth that much... I should jump for 5500?

    what is it worth...?

    I got a line on a '70 340 Duster in great shape... It has the original, running 340. it is an automatic. Bench seat, B5 blue. I looked at it and it had no rust, anywhere. It has the rally dash and black interior. It needs a paint job on the exterior only. engine bay and rest of the car has...

    value of transmissions

    That seems more reasonable and if I were still living in PA I would ask 100 to start and let them talk me down. Ever since I moved to Colorado I realized how much cheaper PA was to live in. I see people put things on craigslist for what I think is a joke so i just needed a 2nd opinion. I...

    value of transmissions

    I figured, I would be giving the small one away, if I can even do that. The larger one, I was hoping to get a couple bucks out of it... I have seen them on craigslist around here for upwards of 300 and that seemed high to me...

    value of transmissions

    Hello all. This weekend i pulled my tranny from my Dart and now I got two laying around. I got a 904 from a 71 /6 Dart and a 727 from unknown vehicle. My '69 Dart was a 4 speed originally and will be again. The previous owner swapped in an auto and I don't know where it came from. So...

    How are the sales prices of older Mopars holding up?

    I watch Craigslist pretty regularly and there has been a slow down of Darts being posted. and a jump in ads that state need to sell by the weekend, or hit hard times and need to sell... Might be a good time to buy if your not hurting. Some people are letting go of there stuff even though they...

    Don't Buy from this Ebay vendor."ramjamstuff"

    That would not bother me at all. I never go out there anymore. I get spam from sites that aren't e-bay and have reported them to e-bay but that is the most I do with that site anymore. It was my first time using the site and I forgot to set the reserve. I would have sold it for cheaper...

    Don't Buy from this Ebay vendor."ramjamstuff"

    I posted a part and it was way too low before the item was about to go... So I had my Dad jump on and bid what I wanted... Needless to say I still have it. Was that wrong of me? I have not used e-bay since I sold my Jeep for 9000 on there... That was 3 years ago.
