Looks ok for an original car. Some better detailed pictures of the rest of the car would be helpful - engine, trunk, and the bottom side.

Has a 71 grill in it, but that is an easy fix. Exhaust tips stick out kinda far, which makes me think those are not originals to the car. The 70 340 cars had their own shorty exhaust tips.

It does look pretty good and relatively unmolested. True patina unlike a lot of others. I did notice the exhaust tips. It looks like a true driver which I like. Maybe a little steep on price for a NOM but if it's that solid I guess in this market it might be a buy. If it was 727/column I'd like it better but I'm in the 10 percentile.

I think the hood has been painted the original paint would not crack like that.
Neat car!

I think original organisol was lacquer? Lacquer can and does crack , but I agree that I have never seen that type of paint end up looking the way that one does either.

yes lacquer I have a quart right here. It was never had a shine like that. And do not see the what I think looks like black, Gray and silver micro flake and a very light texture.
Guys texture. Guys try and duplicate it by shooting a semi or flat paint rough.
Remember decals were applied to it so was not rough like guys do.
Yes I have shot lots of it. And Gray Argent as,well as Light Argent.

I'm pretty sure the Dart belonged to a buddy years ago. If so it's a clean Dart and we thought the paint was original for the most part at the time
