74 Hang 10 Project
Hello All,
Great site. I have recieved a lot of help in deciding which leaf springs to go for on my dart.
Now I thuoght I would tell a little about my car & show my progress to this point. I bought this 74 Dart Sport with the Hang 10 package back in 1996 in of all places West Yellowstone, Montana. It was sitting in a huge snow bank.
I went and asked the guy if he wanted to sell it. He said give me $50.00 & it's yours. I dug it out & eventually got it running. Everything was original on the car. I decided to rebuild the engine(318) & the tranny(904). Over the next few years I drove it very little. I did get a nice set of rims & tires & received several compliments on it's look. Thats when I thought I would look for more info on the Hang 10 package. I found a lot of info but of coarse not how many were built due to it being an option that was not tracked. The more I found out the more I wanted to try to restore it to mostly the original look.
This first picture was from about 2001 before I started any major work. Notice the lower rear quarter. It rusted through from sitting in the snow bank.
