The rest of the story.

The Dart was red with black interior when he sold it in 1979. That was not the factory color though. I think it was blue from the factory. I will ask him. I have tried to locate the car, would love nothing more than to have it back in the family. Me and my father looked a few months ago to find a vin number in some of his old papers but no luck. The only thing I do have is the T-handle off of the 4-speed shifter that he used to run. And the licence plates from 1976 off of the car.
