Remember me :D
Hey guys, it's been awhile but a post over at Dodgecharger.com reminded me I had to stop back and say hi again. And with some news. Picked up my First A-Bodie in a long time. but with a slight back story.
This is actually for my Mom, she's been really getting into the old car thing and was telling me she was interested in a old car. So I instantly thought that a bent 6 Dart was the way to go. I'll be maintaining and taking car of the car, and she's in love with the Charger, so Ma Mopar was the only thought that came into my head.
The hunt begain, and even though it was a little rough in the begining finding just the right body and year, I found this. Wasted to time, and picked her up for what I consider an extreamly fair price.
So here is my moms new toy,
A 1966 Dodge Dart 270
The car needs a little work, odds and ends, but she looks good. Rock Solid body, and a lot of fun. She's also got a few surprises.
The paint isn't too horrible, could use a new coat soon, also around the rear wheel wells she's gonna need some work. Should be a lot less work then the Charger was. The interior also needs some cleaning up. The front seats aren't original. there are a lot of things painted that shouldn't be. Also will need a new headliner. But all in all. I think it's all easy stuff.
The body is straight, has some filler where it doesn't belong, but the metal is solid for the year.
A few things to note. She's a Slant 6 Motor. With a twist. For the mopar guys with a keen eye, you'll notice a few very cool things.
1. Yes, thats an Offenhauser Aluminum 4 Barrel Intake. Complete with a 650cfm Carb
2. Yes, those are headers on the old Bent 6 motor
3. It has it's original Cert Card still in the holder
I will get a picture of the fender tag with it's information as well.
There is one bad things about the car. The motor has a bad Rod. so when she's pulling into my garage. the motor will be yanked out inspected. I'll repair what I need, and put her back together. This isn't a street fighter. This will stay a daily driver.
87,000 Original miles on the motor. I think I did very well with the car.
