It depends on the mods done to it DJ. If it is not a track car but has some work i.e. headers, exhaust, then I would pay maybe $2k. If the owner wants $4k for it, it BETTER have a stout, built motor/trans. You don't wanna pay $4k for a car that will tear itself apart because the motor/trans got alot of TLC but the body is too weak/rusted to keep itself together.

Not worth it. Find a nicer high mileage one for cheaper (nice is the tough part) and put new stuff into it with less hassle.

when I say rust I mean very light on the bottom of the fenders repairable but the roof were it meets the windsheild has cancer about the size of a quarter again not somthing that cant be fixed.
I agree that 4 grand is out of the question.
The 383 has old school dart 2 heads,a cam with 220 or 227 (I,m not sure of exact or full specs but he has the build sheet)Slp headers, an extra set of headman headers, a lt1 intake convertion,gutted cat, electric cutout with the butter fly missing, flowmaster american thunder cat back. Disc rear with the stick shift n10 formula gears. I think they were 354 gears two extra rims the ones on the car are a 9 out of 10(No curb rash) slp cai, 52mm throttle body, koni shocks new ws6 springs (that have sat for the last 8 years on the car outside) hotchkins sfc, lca.
still have to drive it and check under the car for real body damage

but as the parts list grows I am loosing intrest in saving this one
estimate $2,500.00 in parts and another $2,000 in paint
I would have to get the car for around $400 for it to be worth it
