Oddball 1970 Dart GT Find....

It seems to me that I read in Bruce's tutorial that these cars were almost always made in batches, with a lot of the same items from car to car. I believe that I read that every one he had knowledge of left the factory with the HD alternator and battery, HD brakes up front and not a lot of options to speak of. Lots of green cars too for some reason!!

Now, if this had been a 340 car I would certainly not cut it up, but the original motor was chucked in '94 when the guy I got it from bought it. Although he said it ran really well, he pulled the motor and had a 72 340 motor machined to replace it. Of course he just set the block in the engine bay with all fresh machining and let it sit completely open in a leaky old shimmy-shed until friday when I helped him pull it back out. He wanted $2500.00 just for all the 340 stuff... I passed!!! I didn't see the original motor anywhere, and know he sent it to scrap!! Oh well, so much for originality. If it had the original motor, that may have changed my outlook on the car, but it was just a 318 and it's long gone!!! Geof
