‘A’ Family Affair: 67 Dart and 68 Valiant restorations
Both cars have a great story of how we came to own them, so let’s get started on the 67 Dart.
We had been scanning Craigslist like we all do and weren’t finding much or if we did it was overpriced or sold immediately. Then one day my son sent me the link of a 67 Dart that was listed in a small town outside of Wenatchee, Wa. It wasn’t showing up in the major cities listings so people weren’t seeing the car. We called and went to go get it that weekend! Being an eastern Washington car it was almost rust free and had been in a barn for 10 years. The trip was easy and we had a great time picking up our new project (It’s always exciting when you find that car you have been looking for!)
We immediately pulled the interior out as it was rodent infested. The floors were rock solid!
Next post: getting it running...
