memike found a 66 dart

Ya, that link doesn't seem to work. I think this is it here, auction # 300123148654.


What kind of car do you want? I love early A-bodies because they're a little different and not as many around. They're nice and small too, fit into my garage easily.

This Dart you're looking at likely has 9" drum brakes all around and a small 7 1/4" rear. If you want a car to go drag racing in, you'd better find something else. If you're going to add headers, they're a pain in the butt with an early A. If you want to add disc brakes and a larger motor, you're in business...they're easily bolted right on/in. A larger rear end will bolt right in too.

If it's only 55 miles away, book an appointment and go look before you bid. If you don't know what to look for, take someone with you. Check out the usual places for rust, torsion bar crossmember area, behind the upper control arms and in around the air dams in the cowl. I see the chrome is pretty pitted, that would make me think there's other rust on the car, possibly covered up since the paint job. LOOK CLOSELY.

If you like it, bid high and win it. Use a Sniper service if you need to. That's just my opinion. Once you go early A-body, you'll never go back...so beware!
