As always, each and every car stands( or doesn’t stand) on its own merit.
For sale by private party doesn’t make it a good car, nor does by dealer make it a bad car.
Any expensive old car should be checked out by a 3rd party qualified to do so.
As a dealer myself, with an excellent reputation, I kinda get sick of people throwing a stupid blanket statement like the above out there.
Anybody who personally knows me, wouldn’t question my integrity, why question someone else’s you likely know nothing about.


Everyone is allowed an opinion. I stand by mine.



Last two Mopars I have bought( and at 68 years old I have had many, starting with a 69 GTS I bought as a junior in high school in 1972) were both from private parties.
71 Duster I bought, guy told me it had a 340 in it, it didn’t, had a 318. In fairness to him, I don’t think he knew. It was represented to him as having a 340 in it when he purchased it at Carlisle several years before I bought it from him.
And my current car( I will die with this one) guy told me it had a 340 stroker in it. It didn’t, stock stroke 360 was in it. And he was most definitely a liar.
Again, every car, no matter who has it, needs looked at by someone the potential buyer trusts. If it checks out as a good car, it’s a good car, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. It’s pretty simple really.
