1968 Dodge Dart

1968 Dodge Dart GTS 2 door hardtop.  

This car has served as a “driver” for me since 1993.   Has been stored inside my shop for the past five years.  Not driven or started during that time. Not driven since being removed from storage.   No license or insurance.   I have just lost interest in having and driving it.   I would not recommend buying it with the intention of “driving” it home.   Time in storage takes a toll on belts. hoses. seals. tires. etc.

Originally factory 4-speed with 340 CID engine.  Now has A-727 automatic transmission with B&M shifter.   Present engine is 1973 340 CID.   Differential is 8-3/4 inch ring gear.   3. 55:1 Sure Grip.

On Jun-01-17 at 09:19:00 PDT. seller added the following information:

1) I just remembered that the rear wheel bearing on drivers side has a shim between outer race and axle housing. Not a big deal. Just don't want a buyer to discover it later and become upset. I found it when replacing the differential third member.   Drove the car for several years with shim installed.

2) Updated payment terms: Cash in person subject to authenticity verification by seller's bank is acceptable. PayPal deposit still required.
