I'd have to say that the strangest and rarest options I've ever seen in person were : - 1970 Charger R/T with the R20 "Radio Ready Package" ( included every-thing except the receiver ! Car had speakers , antenna and all the wiring !). - 1973 Scamp with a factory hardtop sunroof (!!) . I...

I don't believe that outside rear view mirrors were required until the 1965 calendar year (e.g. , 01/01/1965 production) , but they were probably integrated by late 1964 ( circa Nov. / Dec. '64 ) . I'd seen a '64 Nova SS with dealer-installed outside mirrors . They were placed out on the...

I'm not sure as to whether or not this topic has been presented here before ; but if it has , then please post a link to its thread ... I'm wondering , what's the most oddball MoPar you've seen in regard to its options or lack thereof . This could obviously include colour combinations as...

Hmm ... I wonder if the guy that I knew finally restored it , or if he sold it off . Last time I saw the car , it had its original-issue black/gold Ca plates on it .

Thank you for your replies , RhinoDart and O.C.Dart. O.C. Dart : I didn't realise that Ruby's even existed at Whittwood any-more ! I though that it was sacrificed during the tear-down-and-rebuild of the mall a few years ago . RhinoDart: I have trolled the GTS Registry site , and have not...

I wish ! It was a junkyard score from one of my neighbours . He just gave it to me as he had no use for it (he was primarily a GM guy , but did like MoPars as well) at the time (early 90's) .

I lived in Whittier , Ca , from 1970 until Sept 2002 . I was blessed to have been raised in a city which was absolutely rich in car culture ; Whittier Boulevard was a stone's throw from my house . I've seen some sweet rides over the years ; Street Freaks to stockers , VW's to Lowriders , and...

Seeing the photos of that crushed VS29H3 brought tears to my eyes :wack: As far as rarity ; not many made , regardless of engine option . I've wanted one for absolutely years now ( probably since '74 , really ! ) . I have the crank and its bezel (in a tanish-white ) if anyone needs one ...

While '68 & earlier fender tags are an absolute mystery to me (ne'er could figure them out !! ) , I can ascertain that : - "62" = 383 engine - "418" = April 18th 1967 build - "H6R" = Red interior - "PP1" = ??? body colour And that's it from me :happy1:

Very nice EW1 Dart ! How much did he give for this gem ? Your B5 Barracuda is sweet , too !

At first blush , that 6-popper / 3 speed Belvedere seems like the best one; however , that 1970 D-100 seems like a winner , too . How about that '70 D-Series , with a 24 Valve Cummins swapped-in ?! :happy2: Now that would be sweet !

How long before the registration lapses and the car is "out of the system" at the motor vehicles dept ? If you really want to keep it , you may just want to store it for 7-10 years and let it be forgotten about . In California it's 7 years before the car is out of the loop . Can one even check...

I remember that article ! At the time (I was 21 years old , and the only fan of '72 & up A-bodies amongst my friends!) I was both intrigued as well as disappointed by this Duster . The only part which disappointed me was the orange engine , knowing that it's supposed to be blue / orange air...

I just find it odd that it's equipped with a factory radio (R11) , as radio frequencies are different overseas . It's alleged that it's not a Canadian-spec ("C") nor is it an export to Mexico (those didn't receive an "I" country code) , so its origins and its receipt of said radio are odd in...

I found this via "six degrees of image search" : http://www.nmucc.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4750&view=previous Anyone know whose car this is ? Is its owner a member of this forum ?

The LH/RH studs were a problem dating back to when these cars were new ! My parents had a '69 Dart Custom (1971-1985) ; and every time my dad took the car in for service , he'd either forget to tell the "service adviser" about the wheel studs or the shop's mechanic* would forget . Next thing you...

Agreed for sure . The buckle problems --durability-wise-- are exasperated by food and dirt finding their way into the clasp ( my work truck for instance ; its buckle is *wearing out* after 4 years / 170,000 miles due to the frequent buckle-unbuckle workload incurred from frequent stops . Then...

Is this a restoration or is the car modified ? If it's modified , then why not just replace the stupid things ? I've got a set of Mark XV 3-point belts in my driver Coronet , and I love 'em ! I've long despised Chrysler's 1972 & later seat belts (the 1970-1971 two-piece arrangement is the best...

I used to hear the same refrain about all non-440 and non-Hemi MoPars back in the 80's and 90's ! I never thought that I'd see the day when a clean 340 Swinger would bring so much as $10,000 , let alone 3 times that amount ! Those used to be $2,000 cars , tops . As far as that one-year-only...

I've seen it happen with not only cars , but parts as well . Some bozo keeps placing an ad on craigslist for a 318-A ("Poly") , trying to it'll work as a replacement for later 318's . The ad's been appearing for the last couple of years , with no price change (he's asking $800 !) . Then there...

I'm *guessing* that you can't get both , right ? That 318 / 4 speed Road Runner is tempting for a couple of reasons : - Last year for the 'B' Body Road Runner ; - Last year for the "RM" v.i.n. ; Now , is it a factory-produced 318 / 4 speed (sales codes "E44" and "D21") ? If so , it's got to be...

I'll throw my hat into the ring and guess that it's either $500 (five hundred) or outrageous , due to its "original" condition and "hard to find" status ; something like $7,000 . I'd give 'em a cool $20 for those vintage Michigan license plates !

That's a possibility . I'm basing my finding upon evidence found in the ad ; the "858" area code being the first clue (858 is a San Diego County area code) , and the obvious close proximity to the Mexico border . Did Canadian-market cars of this vintage have KpH speedometres ?

YES !! Other than B7 , B8 , F8 and X9 (any others ?) , the blackout on the core support is *supposed* to be there ( yes , I've seen cases where there was little if any , on 100% original cars in the salvage yards ). This is especially necessary if the car's colour is Hi-Impact , yellow(s) or...

*Which* '68 are you referring to ; his LO23 or LS23M8 ? The LO23 had black from the factory (or at least via Hurst ) , as did every '68 SS Dart / Barracuda . But , then again , these were also all "finished" in primer and fibreglas gelcoat .

Look closer at its interior , in particular the steering wheel and , more so , its speedometre ... ... those are Chrysler de Mexico parts ! KpH speedo and '72-'74 E Body steering wheel = parts from a Mexico-built , Mexican-market A-Body . As far as its v.i.n. is concerned ... yeah , no dice ...

The only unibody MoPars I can think of that had black boiler rooms were TX9 body colour or the 1968 LO23 / BO29 twins . IMO , black does look like 5h1t on unibody MoPars . I especially despise black compartments when the black was sprayed-over an original paint compartment (yes, I've seen an...

Not certain whether or not this is the correct place to post my inquiry ( I could swear I've seen a Toys & Hobbies sub-forum here , but now I don't see it ... ) . If this is the wrong placement , just let me know and I'll move or delete my thread . What I'm looking for is the "glass" (e.g. ...

Of little consequence : the "B" engine code ( VL29B0B ) stands for the 198 Slant Six ; and the "D11" on the fender tag = 3 speed manual , column-shift . Other than the "R11" AM Radio , it looks completely sans options !

My chief ***** about the new Dart is that its powertrain is facing the wrong direction ; other than that , I've no problem with the thing .
