I need your opinion
« on: February 04, 2006, 09:59:31 PM »

I just bought my new project, a 66 Dart GT.  I bought it for $400.  Do you guys think it is worth it.  It came with a jack, new jumper cables, owners manual, repair book for old mopars and even a new battery and radiator.  I know it has a slant 6 now, but we even drove it home.  Tell me what you guys think.

Only your bank roll limits what you can do. Looks like a nice car.

I think you stole it for that price.  You better get it put in that garage before the cops come looking for it.   Grin

Seriously, nice find.

any time you get a running classic for under 1000, you did good. but yours is a good straight body. whod you steel that from? did an old ladie die so you could get that for so cheep?

It was actually a woman who sold it to me.  She was askin for 750.  I offered her 400 and she jumped at it.  I think she just wanted to get rid of it.  If I pressed the issue I bet she would have given it to me for a hundred bucks.  honest

Thats the plan.  Only thing is my dad and I bought it and we're keepin it at there house because my parents have more room, tools, etc. The problem is, my mom said for us to keep it there, we have to first fix grandma's deck (her mom), sell my brother's 65 chevy pickup, get my duster off there property.  These were the conditions set forth by the one in charge.  So before my dad and I get to start workin on the 66, our weekends are pretty full for a month or so.  Go figure  hammer

Nice 66 mopowers! Much better than my starting point! It will be a little tougher to find stuff for it but don't give up. Throw a stroker small block in it and go smoke some chevies! agree

You got taken, man. I'm really sorry to see someone get robbed like that. I'll tell you what... I'll buy the car from you for $500 just because I feel sorry for you.  Grin Grin

Nice car.
