One more A-Body back on the road!!!
Thanks to all of the help that this forum has provided (you guys are awesome!), my car is officially back on the road!
1973 Dart Sport
Originally a 318 car
Built October 1972, delivered 12/26/1972 in Charlotte, made its way to CT sometime in the 80s.
It's now powered by a "Magnum 300" crate motor (bought from a great local forum member) with a mildly built original A904, 650cfm carb, Doug's headers.
There's some sorting out to do...specifically tuning up the carb, reconnecting the tach, putting the power steering back together, setting up the electric fans...but I'm keeping it as stock looking as possible on the outside. The paint is all original (with the exception of that driver's side fender that was dented when I bought it) and it shows...but I like the wear and tear. :)
I'm still hunting for a suitable rear axle to replace the 7.25...
Anyway, I just got back from the DMV with my plates so I just wanted to say a big thanks to the forum. This car has been with me since I was 17 (more than half my life!) I put 30,000 wonderful miles on that old 318, only driving it in the roadsalt free months...then it sat for 12 years while I went on with life (like an idiot). It's so great to have my old friend back.
I'd also like to thank Mother Nature for holding off on the bad weather (in CT)... :D
