What type of dart do I have?
Well, I bought the car as you see it, here in Peru there are a lot of spare parts for Ford, more than anything when we talk about American cars, for these Dodges with 273 and 318 engines there are not many spare parts, in fact everything has to be imported.
In my case I have other cars, but they are all 2 seater and in this case I bought the dart for a family car and especially for these characteristics:
- There is no post between the windows, so when both windows are lowered it is an incredible feeling.
- It has a 4-speed mechanical gearbox with its hurst shifter with trigger.
- Pretty good small block V8 engine.
- Original front disc brakes.
- Bucket seats.
- It's a Dart Gt, so in its time it was top of the line.
- It has very little rust, apparently no crashes and is 90% complete with all its bezels and emblems.
My project with this car is:
- Wooden steering wheel with pins.
- Upholster the entire floor, dashboard and door panels black.
- Dunlop wheels with white letters 265/60/14 rear and 235/60/14 front.
- Original suspension slightly raised at the back to have that muscle car look of its time.
- Shift Knob Hurst white.
- Chrome hurst shift lever base.
- Shotgun Air Scoop through the front hood
- Aluminum radiator.
- msd kit.
- Mopar valve cover.
- Phantom grill with 2 round headlights per side, one large and one small.
- Small aluminum dragster type spoiler.
- Sticker F.Bomb type of fast and furious.
- Preserve the patina, align some panels and lacquer the entire car.
- Autometer Tach on the column of the steering wheel.
- Autometer Water, Oil and Battery, under the dash align with the shifter.
- 1 Magnaflow and 2" inox line exhaust.
So far that is the project and everything has been purchased ready to install.
I'm not too sure about changing the carburetor to 4bbl, the car runs very well with the 2bbl.
