I really hate selling cars. I've had this for quite awhile and would like to see it go to someone who will have fun with it, drop in a v8, or just casually drive the hell out of it. I have extra parts. Super six manifold and carb (needs rebuilt), rebuilt slant engine assembled by builder...

I have a late 70's Dodge truck with 360 that I'm hoping will bolt in to my 73 Dart with 225. Physically looks the same, numbers are different. Will this work?

Like a few others here I'm looking for either 16"-17" rims for my 73 dart with big bolt pattern. I was looking at some aftermarket rims made for a newer Chrysler 300. The bolt pattern is 5x115mm, which converted = 5x4.5inch; right? The problem with these is the widths are mostly 8"...

Turned out to be the switch. I bought a ballast just in case, I now have a spare :) I have never had so much trouble putting an ignition switch in a car before. There are major clearance issues getting the old wires out and the new ones in, and how do you take off that lock plate anyway? I...

3 years ago I was looking for one too. There were actually A-Bodies in my local yards even then, but I never found one :( Good luck on your search though. I always liked those :)

I'm pretty sure this is the ignition switch, but you guys know a lot more than me. I really just started driving this car. It's a 73 Dart with stock ignition system. It died on the way home today after cruising on the backroads. I pulled the coil wire and ballast resistor connectors off...

I'm from the US and after seeing your car I MUST have that front end. I have a 73 Dart with the ugly 73-76 style US pointy hood/bumper. Are those Dart based Chargers with that grill common in your area? Are they valuable? Will 1967-1969 Fenders/Hood fit on 70-76 Darts? (US version) It looks...

I ordered my vinyl top through him. It worked out ok, but it was actually Legendary Auto's product. Very happy with his service though.

I burned a lot of tires in my turbo minivan so I cruise like a granny in the Dart ... until I get my turbo system installed. I jacked up the motor to inspect the mount.. the drivers side rubber is almost completely gone. Once I removed the pressure I noticed how bad it really is. I'm...

I just started driving this car after owning it for 3 years. I get side tracked a lot. So today I took it on the mountain highway and drove 60+ mph for the first time. The problem has developed... Not only does it "clutch" going 50mph on a 45mph corner, it started grinding/knocking. Theres...

Nice response :) It's not something I do for fun, it's just an example. I noticed the problem in town, so I tried to accelerate fast around corners to see what was happening. Any hard right turn under acceleration does it. Not trying to impress anyone or waste rubber :salute:

I have a 73 Dart with I think a 904.. whatever light duty auto came in a 73. If I try to take a hard right turn and spin the tires around the corner, it will just clutch and rev the engine. I can burn the tires on left hand corners fine though. :-| And it's not trying to...

My slant is tired, and I think it may need a headgasket. So rather than fix it I'm hoping to do a quick junkyard swap. The only one in town is from a late 80's truck. I know these have the hydro lifters, and probably all around worse than earlier motors. But will it bolt on to my 73 Dart...

Thanks! Thats just what I needed to see. I guess mine isn't as bad as I thought. It is missing a tiny bit, I wasn't aware that the indent went in so much. I thought it ended right at the chrome trim, but theres a little extra space too.

Its a 73 2 door dart. It should be the same on all darts 67-76. I'll see if I can get a pic. I'm finishing up my bondo on seams right now, top will be ready in 2 days when the paint is dry. I'm stuck on this one though.
