1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
Hello, Thanks for checking in.
Yes, I still have the car. This is the most exciting one to drive in my fleet. I don't think I will be selling it for at least 40 years if things remain as they are.
I have not updated here, because I have not done anything with it. Parts cars, shows,, work, vacation, and family have been demanding my time.
I went on a trip last July 2023 from Irwin, PA to Greenwood, Ohio towing a U haul Single axle Box trailer with the Grüne Hölle Dart. I met up with a buddy to do some slanted discussions and to pick up slanted parts and a Flow bench in Greenwood Ohio, Also on the way home outside of Columbus, I picked up a Slant 6 core engine.
Well Long story short, I had to keep adjusting the valve lash.. found that a cam lobe was wiping away somehow.. Drove it back over 250 miles to PA slowly on 5 cylinders towing a trailer full of parts and stuff.
I started tearing into the '62 Wagon in October of 2023. I try to only work on one thing at a time, as my brain would explode if I had multiple projects going on. I hope to get back on this car in the fall or winter, as it is such a blast to drive. It puts my V8 Stuff and other seemingly well-sorted slant 6 rides to shame in a hurry!
