1966 D/Dart

Economy may be a factor given that it's not a high profile car. If it reach es 40K he should take it and run.

Well went and looked at the pics. Looks like he's cleaned it up a bit. Looks like some big tube headers, maybe 1 3/4". At least they didn't cut out the inner fender. Still has the late model M/C and prop valve. I would have lost that Edelbrock aircleaner and the mondo battery. Didn't they come with the hipo exhaust system? Some of those simple things would of made the car more correct. He sure likes to throw GG's name around like it's going to get another 10K.

I think the people that would spend the money for a car like this don't have to worry about the market or the way the economy is. They have the money to spend on their toys.

I think the headers on the car now are the Doug's ones. It does make it look better. It did come from the factory with the hipo exhaust system on it. The headers, y-pipe, and hubcaps were shipped in the trunk. The carb and air cleaner are the hardest items to find for the car. I had a couple leads on them but they didn't pan out.

I like the Cragars. Last fall, I took the ones that I had on my '64 Belvedere and put them on my D/Dart just to see what it would look like --- and I liked it.

I have pictures of the car from 1998 when I bought it, however, I'd rather not post them. It's not my car and I wouldn't want to discourage people from buying it. All I would say is, I had owned this car for about 7 years prior to selling it. If I had the money, I would be interested in buying it again. I brought it up to "The Wife" the last time it went up on the block and she gave me that funny look and said "NO", and said that I have to finish my other two projects first. She's a great wife. She let me buy the second D/Dart knowing that we were moving down to Florida in 3 month and would have to ship 3 cars down here instead of 2. We also had to sell the house in Michigan. Now that's going out on a limb.

I've always regretted getting rid of it. It's a real solid car. I think it's worth the money.
