Here we go again! You will normally find me over on "B Bodies" but I restore a lot of different makes/models and this time it is an A body. I had a 76 Dart Sport, /6, console, with the fold down seat when I was younger so this car is a little special to me. I had a lot of fun in that car and would like to see someone else make memories with this one. I don't rebuild these to keep, I pass them on to the next caretaker to enjoy during their period of care. Let's get started!
Bought this car less than a week ago in southern Michigan. It spent most of its life in TN before being hauled up to Michigan for a rebuild. It was parked in 1999 awaiting this build but it never happened. It will now! So hang on, it might get a little rough. I will post the progress as best I can but it will take 6-12 months so there may be a week or two between posts. I will try to keep up as I strip it down and build it back up. Normally I would put this car back to the way it came off the line, but not this time. The 318 it was born with is long gone (I do have one I could put in) and a 360/727 resides in its place. So it will never be a "numbers matching" car. That being said, I will leave the 360, change the interior from white to black, change the color (not sure to what yet), put 15" rallye wheels on, add a hood scoop (might actually make it a functional ducted style, and rebuild it . We have the technology. We can make it better than it was. BETTER, STRONGER, FASTER.
