    What's Carlisle Like?

    Mopar Jimmy, how do you mean the nationals have taken a seedy side? Mopar has officially pulled its name from the event? You have got to be kidding me!

    Went fishing, snagged a Barracuda

    From personal experience in getting my 67 Dart up and going, I would go ahead and just replace and keep the drum brakes for now. Unless you plan on going 4 wheel disc, the back wheels will already be done when you get the big fast engine lined up. However you are probably going from the 4 inch...

    Chrysler Classic Cincinatti, OH this weekend?

    I've never heard of this one. Just saw the ad in the Ohio Auto/RV trader. Aug 24-25 9AM-5PM. In Hamilton(north suburb of Cincinnati). I've been to Hamilton, seemed like a very nice town, anybody been to this show??? It lists the usual Drag Racing, Car Show, Parts swap, with spaces only $35 per...

    Modern style headlights

    To address and quote most of what Slant Six Dan said thus far and his response to my quote below..... My 67' Dart came with (I'm guessing newer) Wagner Halogens. I really like them a lot. “That is an excellent illustration of the reason why vehicle lighting devices' performance has to be...

    Modern style headlights

    My 67' Dart came with (I'm guessing newer) Wagner Halogens. I really like them a lot. They are a nice bright white with just a hint of blue and don't have any yellow or gold like color whatsoever.

    Today was pretty sweet

    My thoughts exactly, it probably reminded him of his Duster in Happy Gilmore. Pretty cool he's doing a movie in your town.

    Barn find hauler

    I meant "chrome" on the windshield as a joke, sometimes I've referred to duct tape that way. Reminds me that I would love to have my Dad's 68 D-500 1 1/2 ton for a Mopar hauler now, he sold it 20 years ago for a mere $300, but it needed a lot. I bet it's very hard to get parts for that truck...

    My first car show with the Dart - Pics

    I've also been through Lyons a few years back on my way to Rocky Mountain NP. Nice town. My brother lived in Longmont.

    Need help with purchas of 68 Dart!

    I'd say you did very,very well. $1,100 for a 318, 4spd, with disc brakes on already? Disc brakes will cost you about $700 if buying new. Probably $400-$500 used. Post cars don't bring quite the money the hardtops do. They have a more squared off profile like the 4drs, but they have their fans...

    Junk yard find

    Well established junkyards with 50s, 60s car are a dying breed unfortunately, at least around here. Glad to see a few around every once and a while. I've got a really cool one just 15 min away, but they are primarily GM.

    Barn find hauler

    Gotta love that aftermarket "chrome" windshield trim. I wonder what's under the hood, or um cab I suppose? Late 40s/early 50's model probably?

    new Pennzoil commercial!

    My old Boss at Napa swore by Brad Penn Oil and put it in everything he owned. Brad Penn is not a real person, it's short for Bradford, PA where it comes from. It's the old Kendall refinery bought from Sunoco when they bought out Kendall. I believe all of it(or at least what he carried) was...

    '67 to '69 Body Panels

    I bought a 68' Fender to put on my 67'(after filling in the marker light hole). I was told that the 67' Headlight bezels will not fit around the 68' Grill properly. Just enough difference to axe my plans.

    Resto prospect: '69 Polara 2-dr. 383

    I agree with the others here, not really the best prospect to flip. Not much interest. The aftermarket parts support for C bodies, as I found out is not too good. I was going to buy(not to flip though) a fairly decent 64' Newport 2dr 383 Pushbutton AT(which was a cool new experience) car six...

    Wouldn't you like to catch the prick who shot that $5500 blue scamp full of holes!!! Why on earth? Must have been some kind of payback or vandals or something???

    Good deal?

    I would also personally not sell my daily driver until I knew for sure the particular car I was intending to replace it with was immediately roadworthy and a overall keeper. My Dart "just" needed a cylinder head when I bought it. Cylinder walls ended up being too dicey to save. So I bought...

    PayPal safe?

    Don't do it!!! I had a very similar story last year when I tried to sell my running with a bad frame rail 68' Dart parts car. Guy said he was a marine overseas, wanted to paypal the full amount plus shipping without ever seeing the car. Mind you, this was not an Ebay deal, I had the car posted...

    need some advice and help here

    I have used steel wool lightly to brighten up white letters. Looks good for a couple of weeks usually. You have the exact same Am racing centerline rims I have. I contacted, A.R. the centercaps are no longer made! Mine are plastic, with a cheap coating that is peeling off badly. I guess I will...

    I hate the new Dodge Dart

    I saw one up close at the Mopar Nats last week, like others have said my first thought was "that thing looks like a Ford Focus"!!! I hope it's a decent car though. For what it is anyway. My brother and cousin drove Dodge Shadow's for years, they were crude but very reliable cars, and the Neons...

    WIW: 1968 NOS Dodge Dart Grille and Matching pair of head light bezels

    That is a thing of beauty. I wouldn't be surprised either if that brought $1K to the right buyer. I hadn't realized that the GT & GTS grilles are different for 1968 like they are for 1967. I am trying to sell a nice 68' Dart/Dart 270 grille w/ bezels for $175, and now realize there is less of a...

    Mopar Nats - Stay in Renoldsberg or Heath???

    I noticed the other day how the holiday inn in Heath was boarded up and looked vacant... Another area for Motel options close by would be Lancaster. Take SR 37 South, right at National Trails & I believe it's 17 or 18 miles. Nice/Safe scenic town & they have a few major chain motels on US 33...

    1963 Valiant/Cuda ? Convertable

    Nice ride there. 273 4 spd? I'd go for it. I see your from Lyons, CO. I remember that town, gateway to the rockies. My brother lived nearby on the West edge of Longmont, right on 66. Next to the "old farm" museum place.

    What is this demon worth?

    I agree as others have said. It's $500 parts car to me. The 8 1/4 RE & doors, hood & a few other parts would be the good parts. I'd pass and save your money for something better to start with. Let's say you waited even another year(& hopefully saving more money to put towards it) and then...

    MoPar Nats Ohio August 10-12

    I live just 20 miles from the Mopar Nats. What is really cool about out local event is state route 79(Hebron Rd.) in Heath on Friday & Sat nights Mopar guys get to do about all the burnout's they want(until 11PM anyway) & cruise with a few thousand spectators on the roadsides!!! It gets crowded...

    Factory Air on a 68' Dart???

    Hey guys, I am looking at a (running)parts car with a lot of nice little extras. I was going to buy it and try to fix it, now I am going to try to get it for parts. It has some serious, serious frame issues in the front. It has a complete, factory A/C unit, according to my Dad who went with...

    Best place for chrome bumper bolts???

    Hey guys, I am getting my 67' Dart up and running soon. I was just wondering where to go for chrome bumper bolts? The previous owner only has two bolts from who knows what holding the thing on. Thanks. My brother & I have time to drop the 1973 198/6 in, Easter weekend. We tore it down put all...
