1966 D/Dart

I had a feeling the guy was a flipper, and that is probably why I didn't sell him my parts...even though it would have been nice to get the real carb/ect on the real car. The carb package I have came in the trunk with other stuff, and I had a fabbed up tall throttle cable bracket attached to the motor for a med rise dual quad intake and carbs. Never got that stuff.
I think the car is worth some good coin for what it is. IMO however THE performance parts that made a D/Dart, a D/Dart have to be there. Original numbers matching engines don't mean anything in old race cars. 99.9% of all original drag cars are missing their numbers engines and transmissions, and buyers are fine with that. For example, THE most famous S/S Hemi Dart has a 23-spline 4-speed in it. It has the correct shifter and lockout, but the tranny is just to move it around. Its race Hemi is exactly correct in build and build dates, but not matching. That car still traded for BIG money, and it is a very nice car. The seller had plenty of Hemi S/S transmissions and parts, but didn't need to put them in to move (sell) the car. It sold on it's own provenence.
I think D/Darts and the B/FX Mercurys, and the other factory junior stock cars are just as interesting as the big Hemi S/S cars, and even moreso. Those classes were more competitive due to the amount of people and cars in them. A/FX, Factory S/S and match race stuff was the big draw, but the meat of racing was the lower classes.

Dart4forte, the stone guards are the ones that are attached to the '66 rear wheel molding. I have a pair, and the molding is good, but the guards have damage. I could even make use of damaged moulding if the guards are OK. I'd combine with what I have.
