The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

The video was super helpful lol.

Sharp car. 340/auto/factory ac.....just what I like. That starting price is probably inline with the market today.

Most of it looks pretty nice, until you get to the trunk.
Not sure what's up with the missing fender tag, or the uneven gloss & maybe color along the sides of the car...

I noticed that with the paint but I think it's just the pics because it seemed to change with each pic.

Thats about as perfect an A body as I could want. Colors and options. Shame it missing al the under hood AC stuff. And no I dont see a fender tag either

But Ive announced a retirement date or I would have you going to take a look and haul it to AZ

Geez, I missed the the AC lines, and it may not have the heater hooked up either.
I would think getting all that in order could be kinda spendy.
The gas cap could be another adventure, matching the color, and Rhino could likely have a list of demerits for things I don't know about A-bodies...

Hey, happy retirement !

Good eye, I missed that! up I grew up in Lafayette, IN and never saw this car around there. My 69 GTS came from Lafayette Dodge, been out of business for 50 years, so nobody knows where the records went. frown

I don't live far from there. Talked to the owner a few times about it. Nice fella and decent looking car but too much coin for me with no broadcast sheet or fender tag. Fender tag was lost at repaint and no broadcast sheet found in normal places. Car color seems a bit off as well.

That color is extremely dependent on the sun. It gets really olive with any overcast and the yellow really pops with its bright out.

The overspray on some stuff is telling of the care taken. I like it overall and I’m not an a body guy. Very striking car. For that kind of dough I think the ac should be working. Heater and everything else too.


I want my fair share

Agreed. For me it needs a fender tag and the ac working to give it any thoughts at the listed price.

Im not a A body guy persay. But I like this one....A LOT.
And for me the year, color and options is near perfect package in an A body.

IT's an automatic and a firewall should give away it's an AC car.

So what's the big deal about no FT? The color?

It's obviously a GTS since in 68, I don't think you can get a 340 in a swinger yet.

A Dart Swinger with a 340 wasn't available until 1969
