My guess is the car may be a GTS body/title but the 440 and/or 727 aren't original - no 'numbers matching' in the description. More info including pics of the VIN, fender tag, build sheet & numbers off the 440, etc., plus an in person visit are needed before laying out any coin. Any idea what the car sold for at BJ? BJ purchase price, plus the buyer's premium, plus transportation, plus a little tickle for the current seller might be the $40K asking price. I'm thinking this guy bought on speculation and later found out the car wasn't a 'numbers car' from someone more knowledgeable than he was. Good lookin car though.

A lot wrong with that car. As an owner of a M Code this thing is a mess. I'm doubting it is really a GTS??

Would you care to elaborate please

I know someone expressing interest in the car.


Ps, just heard back from seller. real H code 383 GTS ,,, But originally a Green car though.


So, whats it worth in todays market . I had a feeling it was not an M code for that kind of money

Im think something in the mid 30s would be ok if it all cks out

67 and earlier wood wheel
Magnum 500 wheels, which means front and rear swapped to LBP
That seat cover pattern looks odd. Should have head rests. Check that pattern
Doors cut for speakers
I’d bet this car has disks now… but has drum brake master cly
Paint quality looks wierd. Need to see in person

I sure thought 68 and 69 had same bumpers

67 had backup lights in bumper. There’s a reflection of exhaust tips into bumper there.

68-69 have the same bumpers, it is correct. I asked for a picture of the fender tag to no avail yet. Nice looking car but way too much wrong to be considered a restored car, but at that price it woudl be a nice car to have fun with. twocents

Looks pretty, if not an authentic restoration/clone/tribute.
So as far as value it's essentially a modified Dart.
Couldn't be built for $40,000, but not enough info to put an accurate # on it.
Plus/minus whatever emotional appeal/execution/quality/driveability might be factored in.

IMHO, there are better options around $40K. Like more documented/better quality 340 cars.

A buddy did some work on that car, I was able to get a tag pic from him and a little of his info on it. He did say it had a little rust so I’m not sure more than what he said. Just passing it along.... blurry tho

Fender tag clears up the head resst issue. most other items have been discussed. Car price are up in all ABE body styles. I'm not saying its no worth money. Its just not even close to OEM car. This being said drive it like you stole it!

I agree! F5 is absolutely the worst color for 69, and with a green top and interior it would be near the bottom of the list besides L1. Still would be a fun car the way it is, no way it will ever be restored to factory... twocents

So in this case

The black on black change is probably an upgrade

Magnums on an A-body just look wrong to me & then chrome ones on a ‘69 just really top off the awkward look in my opinion.

Funny, I like the idea of a triple-green F5 car - there were a lot of triple green cars around SoCal when they were new.
The Magnums don't bug me, but I think the later Rallyes look better; that combo really bothers some folks here.

The triple green would be MUCH better with F8, I never did like F5 and it lasted one year for a reason. Cragars are the only wheel that look right on a 69 Dart, maybe Keystones if you had too, and of course the love or hate recall wheels, which I love...
