Mopar Muscle Association UK

Hello, new here but thought it a good idea to get involved with people who know about Mopars as I'm looking to buy something. I'm thinking of going to look at a 73 Dodge Dart for sale in Loughborough, It's on ebay,
Could do with some guidance as I've never owned a yank before, I do have a Mercedes 190e though, I'm selling that.
The Dart is at Hamiltons Gray.

Any response is appreciated.

This one ??

It's quite strong money for an A body, especially as it is also a slant six, not a V8.
It does look to be in very good condition and very original, but it is still quite a high price for that spec and year.
Most post 71 cars are worth a bit less as the hi performance aspect disappeared after 1971.

Yes that one.

I had thought about the general condition being more important than the slant six, of course a v8 could be a later addition, I am capable of doing that.
Regarding performance, is the suspension setup the same pre and post 71.
after owning a couple of older cars I know the mechanicals are easier to fix than the body.

I am trying to get more info out of the dealer about it and some underside photos, they are supposed to be contacting the previous owner.
I am reluctant to go and look without more details.

I would assume it has the weaker rear axle, so that it is a consideration if you are going to upgrade it later.

It is nice condition, but very strong money in my view, and not a particularly desirable version of a great car type.

There is a 65 Coronet 500 convertible that I know of, red with black interior and roof, 318 auto, asking 19,500, not sure about the shape of the convertible roof though, if it was a hardtop I'd be all over it.

As Mr Clarkson once said, most convertible roofs look like a Tramp’s Hat.
You’re right about wanting to see the underside. Regardless of how good the top side is.
Good luck with your search.

Looks clean and tidy, but as others have said very high price, even with a V8 it would be still high price.

if you have money it is buyers market and you will get a MOPAR for less that 20k, good luck.

Tha 'flat front' of the earlier cars is much more desirable and popular than the later pointy-nose models. And the fact that its all done with the right engine makes it a good buy, in my book
