Well, after 7 years and more money then I care to count, I sold my 65 Valiant. Guy showed up with a trailer and cash so away she went. All focus will now be on my 71 Dart Swinger and more garage space. Ill miss her for sure.
I just bought a new starter for my 65 dart and I was thinking about changing the positive battery cable assy as well. I was always puzzled that the car has no proper starter solenoid/relay, is this proper for a 65 dart or has this been cobbled?
I am thinking of pulling the Eddy 600 off my commando 273 and using it for my 318 71 swinger . I would like to put a bigger Holley on the 273 but don't want to over carb the motor. It is a 65 commando motor with the 10.5/1s and was rebuilt that way with a bigger cam, headers and 2 1/2 exhaust. I...
Any body put a MaxWedge hood on an early A. I still want one of these on my 65 and now with headers it might help cool things down a bit. Pics would be great to help me decide. Thanks

What was the scoop on this car again? did you see it? If I had the room I would offer him 6500.00 what do you think? Or anyone since this is now...
Ever seen this? The new colomn I got seems to be 90 degrees out when I put the wheel back on here is why. Strange. Here is the way the keys line up old colomn compared to the new. (90 degree difference) am I missing something?
Does anyone have an exploded diagram of a colomn shifted steering colomn? I want to pull the guts out of my existing 65 colomn and use some of the pieces from a floor shift colomn I have to make the existing one look correct.
I will be leaving this to the muffler shop but I am curious, does anyone have any pictures of spitfire headers to exhaust. Mine are installed and I can't see how they are going to get a pipe in there. Drivers side, torsion bar,Z bar and a brake line are all close. Passanger side torsion bar. I...
I just istalled my Spitfires, pretty easy, (thanks for the filter adapter Scott), with one issue. Back of the driver side the header touches the steering colomn. I will be changing the colomn to a proper floor shift colomn when I find one. Will that change things? what are the fixes, do I just...
I know shipping would be a hassle but, just curious, What would a 65 Barracuda rear window be worth? I might be able to get my hands on two pristine examples. Also complete stainless.
This is my friend Mike"s new 65 Dart (maybe). It is a black plate California car we found here. No rust car (some minor surface). The price is right. We don't normally see these cars up here. The owner brought it here in 2004. He is the second owner for the last 15 years. The air conditioning...
Hey everyone . My friend and I came across an interesting find. A 63 Valiant , low milage 45K), Older seller (selling it for a deceased freind). I think this is a good deal at 2000 (or less maybe). Let me know what you think. I have not seen another original one in this neck of the woods in this...
I'm pulling the old starter which is cooked out of the 65 Dart. Top bolt is a bugger but not as much of a problem as wiggling out with the torsion bar, center link and steering arm in the way, does not look like enough room. Any suggestions here? Car has stock manifolds.
I'm going to be pulling the heads on my 65 273. Yes this is the one with the 5/16 intake bolts at the wierd angle etc. What should I be aware of as far as replacement head gaskets and intake gaskets? I heard the intake set for this year is hard to get and the end gaskets don't fit. I don"t want...
I have a chance to pick up some Spitfires for my 65 dart. This topic has been beaten to death on here and every othe Mopar site but. My car is a hurst shifted newer style 883 4 spd. Is ther a fit problem with the clutch linkage?
Ok so the floor in my 65 is not flat like Kramer Industries says it is.I just about bought some cool SS risers off them but decided to fab up a set out of 1/8 aluminum. I can't get these seats to mount where I want them. The floor is higher near the trns tunnel so I made the brackets adjustable...
My Dart is a bench 4spd car now. I am sending the front bench out to be re done so I mounted one of the van seats I have to move the car around. These things together probabally don't wiegh half what the bench does.
These seats are cool. Now I am thinking Aluminum seat brackets and keeping the...
Hey guys,
I may get a housing for the 8 3/4 center I just got. Will a 72 Duster housing be too wide for my 65 dart? (Flange to Flange). Can't afford new wheels and my 245/60/14s fit real nice right now with the 7 1/4 girly boy set up.
Also, I am too lazy to crawl under the car and measure it...
Pretty excited about the "new" 22" rad in my 65 Vart. Just took the car out for a blast and it never touched 180. Works great!! What a difference from the little six banger rad. Back of the thermostat housing still sweats a bit, Ive done everything humanly possible to stop that. No biggie. Car...

"I don't know of another offering ever of as unique a MOPAR this represents. One of 300 custom ordered through West Coast Dodge Dealers after the original 180 built only at the Los Angeles Chrysler Plant were gone. This particular Dart GT was...
Hey Guys, I have a chance to pick up 4 piston KH calipars, spindles, Upper control arms,rotors, master from a 70 Duster for my 65 Dart (to replace the 9" drums......any suggestions? anything else I need? (good deal so far).
Hey Everyone.
Did anyone see the '65 Dart last night on Pinks All Out from St Louis. The way the show was edited it looked like it made the final 16. I was pretty jazzed about this! called my buddies (rallied the troops)...............NO Dart, did I miss somthing?......there was a pretty cool...
