I'm pulling the 440, 727, out of my 73 Charger and putting them in a 72 Dart.
Here's my question. Would I be better off parting the car out or selling it as a roller?
I'm Thinking about pulling  the following and going the ebay route or a Mopar swap meet.
1. Both front fenders. (Both in excellent shape and no rust.)
2. Both rear fenders.             same as above.
3. front  bumper.  (great shape)
4. rear bumper  same as above.
5. Bulge hood.  (excellent shape no rust)
6. Trunk lid.          same as above.
7  Trunk pan.  (great shape, no rust)
8.  floor pan      same as above.
9.  Front sub-frames.  (great shape)
10 Rear frame rails.      same as above.
11. 3 core radiator  (1000 miles on re-core.)
12 oem gas tank  (been dipped and sealed)
13 roof   No rust.
14 Both doors  (great shape no rust)
15 windsheild excellent shape
16 rear window  same as above
17 8 3/4 rear with 489  and new breaks
18 rear side glass
And any part of the just rebuilt steering and front suspension

Thanks
I used to have a handle on life....but it broke off.

I would think about how much you would get for selling each item individually, then think about what you would get as a whole. Chances are you will get more parting it out, but time is a factor. So is carrying around parts to swap meets and such. I've carried and am still carrying parts from years ago. Ebay doesn't always work, shipping is always a problem. Sometimes its better to cut your losses and sell the whole car as a roller, just to get it out of your life. You may be able to break even if your lucky. You could also install another motor in the Charger and sell it running. :Twocents: Johnny

Find a late 70's 400 as not to much demand and swap it in and sell.

 I agree. It would take alot of time to part it out and a Pain to ship items.

depending on location, if you part it, i'd be interested in a few of those items...

Agree with the others put a motor in it & sell. Have parted many a car, & unless you have the time & space, a big hassle. Let someone else worry about it.  :Twocents:.

If you part it out, I'd be interested in the front fenders and maybe the rear bumper if the chrome is still good on it.

Decided to put a 400 in it, then sell it  A bud has one with a 727. I can get for $300.  I know.  Why not leave the 727 that's in there, in it.  It's a Cope Racing built tranny.

The car is described to be in really good condition......I think I'd either sell or part out the Dart.....
