First things first, the problem is almost certainly the starter (or solenoid or lock or transmission switch). First, make sure you have good heavy jumper cables. Second, try starting it from neutral instead of Park in case the issue is the switch. Third, if it still does nothing when turning the key, go to the relevant Allpar section and continue from there. If it was the ballast resistor, it would turn over but not start.
The 318 is in your favor as is being a Dart Sport rather than a Valiant four-door. When you say three speed, do you mean manual or automatic? Still it's not a terrifically valuable car.
Disclaimer: I have a 1974 Plymouth Valiant slant-six and have my eye on a 318 powered 1974 Valiant Brougham. And yes, selling's a good idea at this point. It really needs to be indoors and driven now and then
PS> If you want to sell it, for Heaven's sake, tell us where you are.
