Hey guys, I'm Nick from New Jersey.
I was hoping someone could help me decide if this car is a good deal or not.
I found a 72' Dodge Dart Swinger for sale on CL the other day and we just got back from checking it out in person. The car looks pretty nice. I'll start off with the good. It's a #matching car and 318. It was restored about 9 years ago? I believe the guy said. But they cheated on a few things. It had a vinyl roof which was removed and now there is bondo or something which is cracked in the rear corners of the roof. (easy fix i think) and a column shift which now it's on the floor (6 passenger car) The engine is nicely chromed and runs good. It's not a Posi car. The paint is slightly rusted around some of the corner edges like the hood and trunk which could be touched up and never notice it. Also had a few dime size holes in the trunk. The interior isn't perfect but do able. Now he is asking $6500 and it comes with an open trailer which my dad thinks we can get $1,500+ out of if we had to sell it. So looking at it that way it'd only cost $5000.
Anyways, What do you guys think?
My dad says if I put 3-4grand into it we could have it looking real nice but never of us have restored one.
Thanks,
~Nick
