65 Dart Owners Reply

Mine's a '65 2-dr Sdn, driven daily. Sorry, No Pics! (yet). 360/395hp, Keisler 5-spd, 3.91:1 rear, TTI headers,etc.
These (early) a-bodies were great handling cars with just minor modifications. They are light weight and have JUST enough room for a V-8.
Aftermarket parts, while available, hardly ever fit "as advertised."
Headers probably pose the greatest fitment challenge, followed by the 8 3/4 rear axle. IF you can find an early A-body 8 3/4, you may have to modify its width (and relocate springs) to accomodate wider rims for wider tires.
Being "handy" is a must, as is having deep pockets!
