Default Newbie here....looking for some direction...

Joined this forum a few months ago, but haven't posted. Been trying to do some research on a car I own, and I'm looking to sell it. The problem is, I have no idea what to expect to get for it.

I apologize, in advance, if this is the incorrect place to post this, so if a Moderator sees fit to move it to it's appropriate location, by all means, do it.

My grandmother passed away 3 years ago, and 2 years prior to her passing, she signed over her 1966 Dodge Dart to me. It's all orginal, from what I know about it. It's been garage kept it's entire life, and has 28,000 original miles on the original slant 6. 2 door, power steering. Thing starts right up and runs beautifully, but there are 2 maybe 3 minor cosmetic flaws (crack in steering wheel, radio antenna missing) that would have to be address for someone looking to restore.

I am sadly in a position to have to sell the vehicle. The garage that I'm storing it in will no longer be available to me in the near future, and I just don't use the car enough to keep it for myself.

Where is the best place, internet or otherwise, to gain a better understanding of it's value, and also what is the best avenue to sell such a vehicle? Really in need of some guidance, here. Thanks to whomever can lend some advise.

Is this the wrong forum to have this posted in? Is there another room where I might be able to find some help?

Thanks.

No digi pictures on the computer to share, but I'll try and get some up soon!

Thanks for moving my post to the appropriate forum.

When is the show in Carlise? Depending on when it is, I might be able to work something out in terms of storage.

Hardtop, or post car? What color, is it a GT? Or a 270? Bucket seats, floor shift. A GT hardtop car would be of interest to restorers, while the post car would be of interest to the drag racers. More info please!

It's a 2Dr sedan. Light Blue. Bench seat, no bucket seats. 270 slant 6 with 28,000 original miles. Not a floor shift, either.

Hi. I just wanted to come and post. I decided to sell the Dart on EBay. Turns out I might have made a wise move. The auction doesn't end until Friday evening, and it's had quite a bit of action. Here's the link.

That's a pretty clean car. Checked the auction; you shouldn't have any problem selling it. Nice and original- hard to find one in that condition anymore!
