Need advice - 64 Dodge Dart
Hello.
Something been in my mind since earlier today. Hopefully someone who knows more about Darts than i do, can help me out. Here it goes...
I bought a 64Dodge dart and is now at the body shop getting ready for painting... The car is missing pretty much all molding. I bought a grille, emblems, re chromed bumpers.. My guy at the shop was asking me when I'll be bringing in the moldings so i started looking around ebay craigslist and other websites looking for moldings passenger bucket seat but all are over 500 800 bucks.. I finally found a NONE WORKING dodge dart 64 WITH the parts i need and the owner is selling me the entire car for 1000. so when i told my guy at the shop i finally found the parts. He asked me for pictures of the beat up dart and he tells me ...
"Give me your Dart and I'll restore the one you just found just the way you wanted Your other dart. Paint, moldings on. New bucket seats. Complete upholstery. And you don't have to pay me a dime. Just give me your dart"
I don't know why he would go from charging me 3-4grand to fix my dart exterior and interior to not having to pay him anything to fix the beat up dart as long as i give him my dart. I don't know if there's something to my car that the other beat up dart doesn't have and he knows it??? Or what.
Please i need advice. It does sound tempting getting a 64 dart fixed completely without paying a dime but.. Giving up my other old car? My car is running. I just wanted body work and find all moldings. The Beat up dart is not running at all.
Thanks for your time.
