Trying to sell a 318 is like trying to sell a Slant. Many selling one think they are worth a ton of money, but the people buying them don't agree.

Duster, I wouldn't have one for free because there are not many parts on it usable on a slant six. Here a 318 and trans in a running vehicle can be had for $300 but you might need a set of tires. Remember the old Commander Cody song..brakes are good, tires are fair? A good slant plus trans can be had often for free too, so why would anyone want a 318? I might go 25 miles to pick up a 400 something to rebuild and sell to make some bucks on the group of folks that like that kind of thing, though. Those blocks bring enough bucks here to buy a nice slant car or truck! rock '64d100 |

Recently I had a good running 318 that I gave away. I am not sure where you are located but around here 318 are considered junk. I couldn't sell it for $50....I don't think I would pay $450 for one with a transmission. Is it rebuilt and does he have receipts well maybe, but not for a used engine and trans with unknown millage or high millage. |

Offer half what he's asking. Any more is too much, and not worth the trouble...there are plenty of 318's out there. |

My brother has a '78 Newport that's actually a pretty nice car for just $200. Yes, it's 318 powered. I think it needs wiper linkage bushings and the windshield may be cracked, but it's straight, has a good interior and not that many miles. If you're willing to pull the 318 and trans you can probably recover $100 scrapping the hulk. |

I have seen several 80's V8 Dodge cars at the auto auction, they usually sell for $100 or less. Contact your local tow yards they usually have weekly auctions to sell the cars that people don't pick up. |
