The Nitrous 340 4-speed 68 Dart
Well here I go again with my second Dart project... My first was back in high school with a 67 2 door post that was just a shell but had a fresh non-fired 340 with eddy heads crower solid and fresh cheatah manual 727. With 3.91 it did pretty good holding its own. I never liked the post car so I was about to throw lost of money at it or keep it for a long time. It had been sitting for about 3-4 years after I took it apart to convert it to 4-speed and rebuild the motor. So I started looking for darts again about a year ago and found a killer deal in Washington for $2,000. It was a stock 273/904 2 door coupe with black interior and 20ft paint. I called him at the butt crack of dawn and told him I would be sending him half the money that day. Drove up checked it out, loaded it, and headed back for California... Thank god the girlfriend came to help with driving. The tranny puked fluid from the pump so when I brought it back I took the motor and tranny out and sold it to my buddies girlfriend who also has a 68 dart.
Its been a few months since I've brought it back but now I'm getting going on it again and hopefully wont stop till its drivings. I've taken a few pics of were I'm at now. I like how FlyBoy has documented everything he been up and I will try to do the same.
