For Ebay, there are various methods. You can open an escrow account, or you can demand say 25% deposit 3 days after the close of the auction, with balance in ten days. You can set whatever conditions you want on the sale. Sure, there's a chance you will get stiffed on the auction (buyer backs out) but you can blackball them on Ebay and relist--Ebay will probably relist it for you for free if you get burned. Listing fee is flat $25, and if you sell, another $25.
Transportation is responsibility of the buyer, all you need do is provide the car for the hauler.
Best way to sell on Ebay is to post LOTS of photos and sell at no reserve.
Interior is very good, except for an aftermarket alarm system and what looks like an aftermarket cruise control. I've never seen a Dart with cruise, but I guess it's remotely possible it came with it? You can tell by the font they used on the labels, that it's at least of that vintage. It has bucket seats, but a column shift for the automatic tranny. Also, its 340 was converted to electronic ignition, but I didn't notice any other aftermarket mods.
It also has air conditioning, power steering, and the stock fake vents in the hood. Any guesses as to what it would be worth? They want $2800 for it. I know price-wise, a Dart GTS, unless it had a Hemi, isn't going to be in the same league as a Charger, Roadrunner, GTX, Superbee, Barracuda, etc. But would they command much of a premium over a more basic, mainstream Dart?
But the bondo problem is a real value killer, since it is an expensive proposition to repair properly. And heaven knows what else is wrong with it.
So really, what have you got here when your top dollar is only $6K-8K.....not much, seems to me.

No idea what its worth, but sweet car!
The modifications will hurt the value in any case, less so if it were a sport coupe than if it were an original W30.
car has been in the family since new and we have the original bill of sale, this car was driven from new till 1970 and then stored in a garage up on blocks,we have a recent appraisal of $5500 for insurance purposes any help to put a asking price on it would be appreciated.
You mean a 1200 bug? In that case, an asking price just below the appraisal price would be okay to start, depending on what you mean by "a little rust". If the rust has perforated the body, the price would be less of course. If it isn't running, or has been stored a long time, that will also lower the price, as VW engines that don't run for a few years usually need rebuilding. Again, this is not expensive.
Still, these old bugs have a following and they are pretty easy to restore. You shouldn't have any trouble selling it, although if you cannot absolutely verify the low mileage do not guarantee it, as you put yourself in jeopardy legally should something turn up to dispute that claim. You can say "believed to be true mileage but not verified" if that's the case.
If someone offered you $4,000-4,500 USD I'd sure take it.
A 1985 Porsche 911 would be called a Carrera and would be worth between $15,000-$20,000.
Being a Targa (removable roof panel) makes no difference in price. In fact, a sunroof car might bring a little more, since Targas are a pain in the butt usually.
If it's really a 1985 911 for $4,500, that sounds like quite the deal but keep in mind that a rebuilt engine will cost you $10,000.

The price ($4500) and model year (85.5) leads me to believe the car for sale is a 944. MY 85.5 is when the introduced the new dash.
1.It's not a 911, so not a "real" Porsche because of front engine, 4 cylinders and water cooling.
2. Expensive to fix considering the low market value.
