I’ve been watching him look it over and see what he got into but... $6500 with shipping?! I’m glad I got my junk back in 80’s!

He overpaid for sure. Most of the cars sold for around $2400. I bought a 66 coronet 2 door no rust from the auction for less than half of what Steve paid. He should have waited until the auction. I do enjoy his videos.

Initial cost will be reduced with sponsorship for the project.
I like Steve's vision with a 4 door project.Sounds like fun.

Maybe he’s been watching all those goofs over on BAT. $100k + 1st. Gen Broncos.

We bought a car from that auction. Funny thing is that we were told that the family wanted to keep that Dart............

Maybe the reason for the high price.

Maybe the reason for the high price.

Yea for sure.

But he should have been required to bid like everyone else

Perks of the trade.But I agree with you.

Steve said he worked out the deal for $5000 with the family last spring.

He said Spanky Assiter paid him to do walk around videos of all 150 cars for the auction so he got paid for that. He also did say that most of the cars went for around 2500$ but he fell in love with that one so he made a deal with the family and acknowledged he paid more than he should but he wanted to get that cop car.

As long as he likes it... kool. I’d take the same vintage GM or Ford 2 door over it though.

He seems to be a good guy. It will be a good build to watch. Big block max wedge clone over 500ci.

The 62 Dodge dart is one of those I hated when I was younger but as I get older it's starting to grow on me. The 1960 Plymouth fury is starting to grow me as well. Never thought that would happen.

 

[440 PHIXX]

I like the ‘61 Plymouth. I know, not a B body. And the 2 door only.

He is. Known him for quite some time.

I don’t know what that has to do with overpaying for a ‘62 Dodge 4 door.
