Take a picture of the engine. Show the front where the water pump is and the driver's side of the block.
We can tell you in short order if it's a low deck or not.

The only thing Im worried about, is rust. There doesnt seem to be any cancer, except for the leather top. its bubbled a little bit. Is there any KNOWN areas of rust.Worst case scenario, is if its more solid then my d100, then ill pull the 72 225 i swapped into my truck, put it in the dart, and drive the dart, while I fix cancer on my truck and swap in my crate 440/904 Ive been puttin off doing

My experience with vinyl tops on old cars has been bad. If I knew how to add a picture from a local drive, I'd show you a pair. The bubbled top is very suspicious to me. If the roof upholstery is stained and centered on the bubble area, you have rust perforation.

The suggestion to check the floors is very wise, too. Water tends to collect in the footwells and soften them up.
