Domestic Dispute! The Swinger's Gotta Go, But What Is This Rolling Pile Of Parts Really Worth?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Over the last year, we've been thinning and rebalancing our vehicular fleet, and the only thing left to go is our low budget, built from leftover parts 1972 Dart Swinger.
The only question is, how much should we ask for it.
I say it's not worth jack...Kathy Bananas thinks it worth a mint...somewhere in between is it's true value, and we're gonna rely on our viewers to tell us what that number really is.

Started at $8500. By The time you were done I was down to $2500.
Bout tree fiddy
That was exactly my train of thought
Not a shower or a goer. Its a good classic car. A decent project car $4500.
@@MrTheHillfolkThat's a gawdem lochn3ss monster
Haha, I started about the same, but bottomed out at $3500 because it runs, shifts, stops, has floors, almost complete A/C and I presume keys and a title.
The single and most important thing about this car sale is that the seller is an honest man. You rarely find that these days.
A very rare thing in the classic car market. He should send it to Stateside Motor to sell!!
A two door swinger running and driving, definitely not worthless !
Though anything called a "Swinger" is likely to cause a domestic dispute.
Nice to see your honestly and not hiding anything
id be interested in picking it up for my 15 year old son. im in michigan, be a good father son road trip too.
The value of anything is what the buyer is willing to pay.
💯👍
Mmmm no……
Duh
and what the seller is willing to take. In other words, value is determined by what the buyer and seller can agree on.
@@wirefly1000 you are correct
I'll say 4500 The fact that its mopar, its running, its not falling in half, it starts on the button, and It had an in'Famous' owner (which means people know its not bondo and cardboard (its steel and bondo...;D)
Worth more than you think tony...
Anything that isn’t falling apart and moves under its own power is $4000 easy. I’m going to say $6000. There are a lot of people asking a lot more for a lot worse.
$900.00 IF YOU LUBE THE DOOR HINGES $900.01 FIRM
Yep 👍
@@ronaldspins Bring the lube
I’m with you….it has little value to a rebuilder as he has admitted. Go for $2g’s but take $1g for the door and front fender.
It's worth whatever someone is willing to give for it. You may think I am crazy but I would rather have that imperfect Swinger than a pristine restoration or a super clean low mileage survivor. My reasoning is that it still looks good yet it can be driven and enjoyed without stressing you out if you have to park in a parking lot where you might get door dinged. I would say that car in that condition is worth closer to the $10K in my area than it is to the $1K. Here in the rust belt you just can't find them that aren't severely rusted out underneath. The only thing that would have me even slightly concerned is the lack of oil changes. I would insist on the engine being flushed out to remove the oil sludge and to see what the oil pressure is afterwards.
Shame on you for not changing the oil!
I'll give him points for being honest about it though.
Morebassman, if he doesn't grease or oil anything, doors, hood etc. Then he has never greased the ball joints, shackles or any other suspension parts in forever, it's nothing but an accident waiting to happen. The window tracks, seals, etc. are Shot, door hinges and every moving thing is needing replacement or rebuilding.
It's a liability that will take more work and money to be worth less than the investment.
That said ; Any car that is reasonably dependable, runs and drives half decent is worth $1000, there's no telling how much rust is hiding behind all the amateur mixed bondo.
My opinion is $1001 would be tops. Best thing to do with it is part it out and be happy with what you get.
Pre-SMOG car out here in the Kalifornia Kollective. Solid $6,500 runner. Do some paint and body and re-spray. Put a seat bottom in it, cardboard package tray. Oil the hinges all around and it's a cruiser ... 😀
At first I was thinking, "Hmmm, not too shabby," but as Uncle Tony went through the litany of everything it might need, it started to turn into an episode of Bad Band Sound Check: the bad band does its sound check, leaves the stage, asks a bystander what they thought, and the bystander replies, "Snare drum sounds good."
I have a rule about never buying a car I can't love, and usually must buy cars with problems I can fix. This kinda qualifies as long as most of the Bondo don't fall off too soon. A runner with many details to tend to would suit me fine, personally right now. I might get better healthwise, might not.
@@OllamhDrab Understood. I should have added that I like it anyway -- and if it were a Duster instead of a Swinger, I'd be _sorely_ tempted.
You should get what you can for it because a flipper will buy it and make a very tidy profit for the notoriety of it being Uncle Tony's car.
I wish we had rust free cars like that up here in the North. It would be worth a lot more up here. My dad had that car and it was stolen in front of our house in 1972.
I had a 1970 Dart gt no engine but it came from the factory with a slant six. I had it for a week,paid $50.00 for it in 85. I had a 440 I was going to throw in it and that was stolen too!
I'm in Rhode Island in New England U.S.
Looks like 8k
@@christopherarmbruster6241 that's not bad at all! Especially for a good 360 Dart, I'd take it.
After the description - 1000 bucks with a 250 buck rebate its pretty iffy no oil change 1/2 bondo no a/c crappy seat etc you got your use and value from it thats the real deal offer
"He who names his price first loses."
Delusional UA-cam Fame syndrome
My buddy , Mike ran a music store taught me " Always get the other party to throw the first number out ."
Give away car!!! I'd drive that hoopty all the way back to Pennsyltucky!!!
5000 to 7000
At first... I was thinking $4500. But then after listening to you negotiate me down... I'm thinking $2500. You're a tough negotiator!
Worth more than you are probably thinking Tony. I have no idea what that car is honestly worth but people are paying crazy prices for classic stuff! I bet it's in the $6000 range?
6k is a steal with this market
@@videosYOUenjoy I kind of thought so. I initially thought $10 k but he is talking me down. I legit don't look at classics or prices but know this stuff even for grandma cars has gone insane.
Thinning the herd is always difficult. I know, I am down to only 5 Mustangs now.
That is a pretty good team of horses you have with 5.
Oh wow.
Im thinning my herd too but its a 57 buick, a 79 trans am and a 78 f250
I remember that car I came up from fayetteville to buy some parts and you showed it to me love it.
Hello Uncle Tony! You are the funniest classic car guy and now the most honest classic car guy I've ever met! No one ever relinquishes the information that you provided on this video. It reminded me of my first car---a 1966 Dodge Dart with a slant 6. It needed 2 doors, a fender, and a truck lid which I bought in a junk yard. Then it needed an Earl Scheibe paint job which was $29.95 at that time. Your video took me back to my High School days.
A reasonable fair price I believe would be $3,500. I think the comment about eBay is a good idea! You may get more than you'd think!!
Good luck with the sale!
I have no idea of the value but I’m sure that you definitely wouldn’t rip someone off. You are totally honest and upfront about what the car is and what has been done to it. The car selling world needs more people like you 👍.
“200K firm! I know what I got.”
Minus the wheels and tires.
That’s the best part of it !
Damn man, it doesnt even have a cummins in it.
"And no low-ballers!"
@@gx21a
You got me!🤣
Would love to have it
You're a truly honest man Uncle Tony --and that's a lot to appreciate in 2024. We love ya ❤
@@user-ji7jy6dr8l this needs pinned 📌
Extremely roadworthy,professionally tuned complete and presentable. Looks badass from 50 feet. In today’s market pushing 10k
I’m going to say it’s worth $4k, and the “I need this thing gone” price is $3200.
I agree. The body and paint is daily driver at best, as is the drivetrain.
To think as a 21 year old I bought a brand new 'Cuda out da showroom for $4k. To me this is a $400-$500 car just for the Rallye Wheels. 👀
3000 and I’ll drive back and forth to work . I’m down here in Georgia can get whenever.
$5,500 It's funny how in the 80s as a kid. I'z thought these cars was ugly. But, as the years have gone bye. I'z grown to like them.
Same here!! That car is a good platform to make a 340 street machine, whatever you put into it will increase value if you aren't paying for labor- meaning you can do it yourself, or friends etc to learn as you go.
I think you're right on with 5500
They were old man cars in the 80’s
I liked them from the side. But not front and rear.
But then again, I liked the look of the Mustang 2 in the 80s. They looked like mini 65s.
So my opinion probably doesn't count here LOLn😅
20,000 or let Kathy keep it.
I think it’s worth $1500. Based on how much stuff does not work and the amount of bondo. It is so tough to drive a car with no radio!!
Not really...nothing on the radio worth listening to anymore...
That's my conclusion too ,
3500 bucks....Make a great driver or young Mopar man just getting started.....There is Hardly nothing out there to buy from 79 back.....and your honest and a man knows what he is getting!
15k - high, 10k low. We love it! Dad had a 68 dart 2 door, tan w/white nagahide roof in Colorado.
Love you guys, love these cars. Although this one hurts my heart😢 my first car was a 70 swinger that was 40 years ago paid $150 for it. I'm saying' yours is worth $900 adjusting for inflation and nostalgia and the raisin bran hood (2 scoops) please make it stop hurting 😂
The More Uncle Tony Talks I’m thinking Yard Art. 😃
Ya, even though it looks good that car is in rough shape. Any work on the pillars is expensive and difficult to get correct.
A couple of plusses: No power steering, No power assist brakes. I had a Duster like that and it was totally drivable.
This is a very cool car with plenty of warts; the market is crazy right now, so if the AC works it will go for more than the $3000 of cash I will show up with to bring it to California as a daily driver.
The new personalized California license plate I would/will put on it will be 72BONDO, which is currently available.
Being you're a mechanic and it's probably in good running condition I would say the cars were anywhere between $5000 to$7500 love your show Tony
he said he never changed the oil for 30,000 miles, the engine is pretty much done
Mechanics cars are usually not well maintained I frame houses and when something around my house needs fixed it takes months of oldlady bitchin to get it done
You ever seen mechanics cars? A mechanic buddy had a late 70's K-5 Blazer and the front diff was giving him problems. Rather that fixing it, he just removed the drive shaft, problem solved. Edited to clarify about their dailies, not the special unit they lavish devoted attention to.
Ive got a 1970 Challenger Deputy big block 383/727 project id trade ya. Im in north GA.
Do it Tony! It would be good for the channel.
I'd take you up on that! Challengers are way more valuable than a Swinger, even if it's a "project'.
Uncle Tony, I got $2500 cash for it real deal just gotta get it home to Texas let me know…
Buy it and gen3 hemi swap it be a good beater. @uncletonysgarage
@@NavalUnitedgot a nice 6.4L bet would fit decently. Tony need to bless me. I’ll come this weekend.
im from Indonesia, but i oftentimes look US marketplace especially in SC or NC just for fun or told my ex what car she can buy next(because she moved to US few years ago).
i would say this would be $4k top...
i mean being a marketplace seller or brokers..yeah i would put this 4k...
the good thing about this car is its honest... nothing being masked deliberately to "deceive" or to look good...
its just home built cars for hobby done properly...
yes that's my opinion...
agree
An honest junk but i loved it
In the state of the car with all those bondos in indonesia it will still hold its value for some odd reasons
I absolutely love that car and will miss seeing it… I’ve been priced out of even the “A” bodies unfortunately, and live vicariously through you tube videos of my favorite mopars.
You must mean you are priced out of darts and valiants. You definitely should be able to afford barracuda's. I struggled to sell my 1966 barracuda new suspension, rebuilt 904, no rust, no bondo, straight body, good running original 273, and an 8.75 rear end. I finally sold it for 1k. I had no interest at $1500. I've heard the same story from others.
@@jasonnelson6624 Ho wow ? ! : O
Give it away to a random subscriber.
Might as well...
I like it. That's a great idea. Someone will love it.
Hi, my name is "Random Subscriber"!
Preferably someone who has not seen this vid. Remember, sometimes free is too much to pay.
Being from NJ, a clean ( rust wise), V8 A BODY, that you could get in a drive, I can see $10,000. If you could do the work yourself, rebuild the seat, add some gauges, fix up the interior if you wanted, drive it as you fix things. Ok, so it’s got a bunch of bondo, but it’s structurally sound. This is a car with some work, you could drive anywhere and not worry about it.
Yes east coast price just shy of 10k but realistically 6500
10 g’s! Firm
I appreciate Your honesty in the description, Photos and Videos aren’t the same as Hands On. Daily Driver $5,500
Nice neighborhood, except for Tony and his old orange car.
Haha. I came here to say
You sound like my neighbor across the street. She said my old vehicles are running down the neighborhood. Blah blah blah
@@BillyLintzenich-wf7sk Duh, typical dumbass. It's not old vehicles, it's their owners.
Decent A bodies in my neck of the woods start at 2500 for a roller, no motor. I've been looking.
By A bodies you must mean dart or valiant only? Cause you can get barracudas with v8's cheap.
@@jasonnelson6624 for 2500? Ill take all you got.
I’ll say $8500. That’s 7k actual street value plus at least $1500 it will draw for UA-cam notoriety and/or credible seller disclosure.
Well said , agree …. Up to 10 g
I’m gonna say $4,000-$6,000 where you are, in Minnesota you’d probably get $8,000 or more cause no matter how rough you think a vehicle is……..it doesn’t have Minnesota rust 👍 fun little car for somebody with a great story.
It’s worth more than I have but I’m a long time subscriber and viewer. I would give you 4000 cash and keep it in the utg spirit for the rest of that cars life !!!!
5.00 spent 1 entry on merch give away
i wish i could talk to you on the phone and plead my case how my older brother and i would lve to buy this car for $5500. i had a couple of 73 darts, my brother was a big fan of the GTS and we are both big fans of yours. he is 72, and i am 67 and have cancer. my brother used to race slant 6 figure 8 cars at islip speedway in ny. we both would love to get a hold of a daily driver like this because this is exactly the kind of car type we went through our young adult lives when money was scarce and we had a need for speed. Thank you uncle tony and God bless
$6500 is probably close to what it would bring here in Southern IN but like we all know location can effect price a lot
$ 3,333.33 I liked the car a lot more when I didn't know what was wrong with it.
You a Freemason! 3333333333😂
At first glance - $5500
Further inspection -$4000
For a decent driver that has the look of a performance car, good starter to upgrade.
After Tony said he hadn't changed the oil in 30,000 miles.... nope, nope and NOPE.
It's a great 20-footer. $5K - $6K. You should fix the AC and horn, tht would probably be worth another $1K in value.
I think it would be a steal for $5500, only because of Uncle Tonys sales pitch. It is probably worth more, but it needs a lot of work.
It's worth $2,500 although it's worth $3,500 with an Uncle Tony autograph on the dashboard. 👍👍🇨🇦
What car doesn't have body filler? Mostly rust-free with a V8, $7500.
Yup!
My brother 1969 GTO is all metal
Wish everyone was honest like you and not trying to rob everyone. I put my engine together with a bent piston rod it's s shaped, not bad, it didn't bind up and has been 40k
I’m in agreement with starting of thinking it’s at $8000 but as you showed the flaws and realized it’s a good project car but needs lots of work - $2500 to $3000
If a certain classic car dealer can sell a POS Mustang for 30k this dart must be worth at least that.
lol
It's not a ford, bottom of barrel wore out Mopar might be worth 2grand on a good day
Don’t encourage this crap ! 💩 .
@@johnudonn4309 Fords are worth nothing,Fords cant handle nor move!
@@johnudonn4309 Mopars are worth double of whatever any Ford is worth.
6,500 to 7,000. I think you should give it away to one of your subscribers.
I loved this video and I feel like one of the big auction shows needs No Balogna Tony and Cathy Bananas to do the vehicle descriptions for them.
Living in the holler, I think 6 grand. If you are in the big city, I'd say $10,000 easily. I paid 7 grand for my '66 Charger almost 9 years ago and it was a runner but needed total restoration.
Roller Mopar are $4000 now . $8000 sale price cash only .😊
I wish you were a buyer.
Do a raffle/give away. 5 dollars spent on tony merch or 3 dollars donated via your choosen money transfer money- do packages for 25- 1000 dollars, clothing stickers up to a day with Uncle Tony, for the person if they buy a package they get the merch up-front, the day with Tony and Kathy is for the winner provided they bought into the higher priced packages youll get more than 8k this way easy and it'll make everyone happy the owner gets a price hes happy to have then once you reach the min youd let the car go for from sales (6500.oo usd id say) then announce the drawing day use an online automated draw system do it live and then do a giveaway day pick up/ drop off- day with tony and kathy or a short meeting to do paperwork and then you get to do multiple videos for this thing . That will also provide more money from the giveaway for you which basically means more profit from eliminating this car from the fleet.
I’ve owned about ten Darts and rust was my number one concern when buying one and this one looks good. “As Is” I would say $5,500 because what can you get for anything under 5K these days, not much!
$5747.USD as is. What might we win if our guess turns out to be the average price or close to it?
Maybe a UTG HAT or shirt?
Cheers guys. 🇨🇦
Uncle Kathy is right, and you knew this already
$6500
Every time I see that dart it reminds me of when I use to live in Antioch and worked in a shop I Smyrna I bought a 72 dodge dart for 200 bucks, when I moved back to Massachusetts I lost the car due to city codes, it was only a six but it was reliable
$4500 for your labor + $1000 for your honesty!
Isn't it amazing we get to a certain age and just stop caring about certain things? I guess we learn what's really important and what isn't...
I’m still in disbelief of the amount of xjs you’ve got
At least you're honest I got screwed from a marketplace deal was told "it's just cosmetic" nope engine was shit.. 5,000 you'll sell it fast.
looks like my old car, same year, color and interior. the substructure rotted out so I sold it for junk a few years. I'd like to buy it but it's probably out of my budget.. Good luck with the sale and Great Video as always!
The law of averages says it will come out at $5500.
10-12,000 and your low because you live an breathe this stuff. Also why people want you to help them buy cars. You have been VERY HONEST and any buyer more then knows what they are getting. $10,000 is the number
$10000 is the number!
You’re nuts!
@@jimkalfakis9893 Its not 2013 anymore. Go find a comparable car on marketplace or craigslist. Cant even get decent rollers for 4500-5000 anymore. This is easily a 8k car as is. Its running, driving and has pretty decent interior. Doors can be found easily cheep and fenders arent hard to find either. Whats hard to find is a complete decent looking car.
Yeh, Ive seen people pay 3500 for a shell, completely dissembled with no engine and trans, but it was rush free solid, sand blasted.
Its a rust-free (mostly) car with a v8, 10k isn't crazy
Interested in seeing what the price ends up being. I'd like to buy it and daily it. Figure it'll probably do better on gas than my 78 B200
Man, thats a tough question, and location means a lot too. Rust free, its gotta be worth 7500.00 since you can jump right in and drive it. Surely gotta bring 5k without much trouble.
Uncle Tony's (XJ and bike) Garage.
I would list it for $5,500 and take no lower than $4,500. It's a classic Mopar. Keep up the good working videos
I second this.
I would go get a loan from the bank if this was that cheap.....I just paid 5k for a 4 door. A 2 door is at least 8-9k here and a Swinger is at least 15, usually 20k.
I believe that’s a $3k dollar car. Bondo bucket with used parts but a Mopar with some cool hood scoops and a 360 is a great driver car.
It's a driver. It is being sold by an honest man. I would rather know what it needs, so I can factor what any future cost would be. It ain't the buying price - but the keeping price. I do not have a lot of tools to work with on cars, so I have to have an outside party work on it to keep it running. The two prices together are $8,000 ; $2800 purchase and $5200 keeping price. Just saying what I think would be the needs of this vehicle. If it was a 1971 Plymouth Satellite 2dr Hdtp., I would be bidding on it. I had one new and really liked that car, our first born came home in that car. Someone will be getting a great driver. Mopar did not many good new cars, but sure made some great old ones. C J Mahovic
$9950 🤠
Worth more than what Dulcich paid for his Glow in the Dark Chompers. $5.500
This is the perfect daily car, points ignition, lightweight, decent fuel economy, completely mechanical and can be fixed by anybody. The only change I would consider is an A833. I would give you whatever you were asking if I wasn't swamped with 7 cars at the moment, in large part for the chance to meet you and say I own the UTG dodge dart.
$2500 and only cause you could say, I bought it from Uncle Tony. You are one honest guy! Bravo to you! What ever you get for it buy a Boarder Collie for Uncle Kathy😎
You can’t get a running driving “classic” for under $7500 today, especially one that could be “daily driven”, and I truly think yours is worth closer to $10,000 to the right person.
I just got a 4 door 70 Dart that could be daily driven with no rust for 5k.....because it is a 4 door, sadly no one wants the 4 doors...well good for me.
😂😂😂 I struggled to sell my 66 barracuda new suspension, rebuilt 904, good running original 273, no rust, no bondo, straight body. I finally sold it for 1k. I couldn't get anyone interested at $1500. I had the exact same problem selling a 67 Newport with a 383 except I couldn't even get 1k. So only select mopars bring in money.
Tony you're a genuine guy, in my opinion that's a $4500 to $5500 car all day long. Great job on the headliner uncle Kathy.
Think it would run OK for a 250 mile trip? I don't have a trailer. Will have to figure out how to use marketplace. Hopefully it will be in my limited budget.
I think Kathy wants to keep it. Edit: raffle it off, with five or ten dollar tickets. On sale for X number of days, then have a live drawing. But I think Kathy wants to keep it.
You can easily get 8000.00 for the car I have seen way worse going for more a reliable vehicle and a classic no less than 5500.00
$7k
If you weren't a beloved UA-cam personality, $6k.
I wish you were closer to Minnesota! Im a 23 year old Mopar guy and i love Darts! I have a 71 and id love to have a 72
If you were not in a rush to sell i think you could get pretty close to $10k, considering the rush to sell and assuming it has been smoked in $6500. Running, driving, more or less rust free it would be hard to see it sell for less than $5000.
It’s a decent driver. I’m thinking $10,000-$12,000. Go shopping, and try to find a nicer one for the same price. Someone would love that car!
$3900.
$4601.00 ALL DAY! Whats the rear gear ratio, cam, and MPG on what fuel? Thank you for selling something that you BOTH have so much time invested in and SHARING. Sounds like an enjoyable car🦩
I’d say $4500. Put your signature on the air cleaner for a few bucks more 😂.
What decade are you living in?
