68 Dart GTS history?
That's a huge possibility! I have a feeling though that the original engine was blown up, which is why it became a parts car. I have a plate that came on the car (original or not, no idea) that had a sticker from 84 on it as the last registration date. Can't read it real well but it's RSE-993. The other picture is what the car looked like when we got it in the late 90s. Thanks for all the replies!
