Looks like it is run by a car transporter, what the heck, I joined...

Wow, it is a great car! Optioned well with fender turn signals, bumper guards, console tach, wood wheel, bumble bee stripe, power drum brakes and steering, surprised it doesn't have A/C! Looks like some paint loss on the trunk finish panel, but that's an easy fix. $46.5K but worth the coin IMHO...

I like this one, A LOT. And IMO will bring the asking price.

Or at least close to it

I'm inclined to think it could be the best of both worlds: original, well-cared-for car with fresh mechanicals.

Why a car with such low mileage would have a mech rebuild makes me wonder, though.

Hard to say without asking, May have been beat on pretty hard early one, maybe due to a spun bearing in the motor?????

Owner may have just wanted to freshen it up.

Pizzer for me is I didnt give much more than this money for my 66 hemi car .........My how times have changed in 2 years !!!!!!

if I was in the market. ( Im not btw ) Me and the owner would be talking. A 1968 Dart is near the top of the A body wish list for me. 2nd only to a 71-72 Demon

I've always wondered that too. See it often. I can understand re-gasketing but a rebuild? Where's the fender tag?

Good question on the FT - I can't really tell in the engine photo - though I do see the unpainted bypass hose, which isn't really a big deal.
Yeah, money - or prices - I thought I'd paid up on the RR I bought a couple years back, but nowadays it looks like I stole it.
Not that it matters; I love the car, it was worth every penny, and it's not going anywhere.

I know of one in the same colors and similarly optioned that was sold new here in Fresno and is still in the family of the original owner (he's passed away). Had a short convo on FB with his widow a while back. I knew the original owner's sister and her husband and rode in the car when I was in college.
