Cool find, Bill! Darts are a funny breed. They are all over the place with price. Your buddy’s car has a few good things going for it with being triple black, papers, and numbers along with a few good options on the sticker. But the flip side is a repaint, wear, not overly rare, and despite the affection for Day 2 parts on this site, it just means bastardized originality to others that needs removal/replacement. Especially the fenderwell headers. That’s a big whack since I’m pretty sure there was a lot of cutting on those inner fenders.
A buddy of mine just sold his driver quality restored 69 GTS, albeit triple green, but with a lot of cool options for $30k. A solid, need nothing car with originality and correctness. So a price for your friend’s?
Depends on what he wants like a quick sale or does he think he’ll fund his retirement from the sale? I think a realistic price would be be close to the $20k mark, plus or minus a little. A triple black Dart? Go find another…..and you probably won’t so the higher price would be warranted. But at the end of the day it’s a project Dart no matter how you slice it.
But don’t take my advice. I’m lousy with money since I’m a pilot. If I retired today, I’d be good until about 2:30 tomorrow afternoon!
But if he’ll take $10k, I’m in!
Remember I’m a pilot, which means I’m also cheap!
Cheers
