I plan on retiring from riverboats in January, started a new business, can't do both and "make it" with a "classic car" still needing the "final touches". So, with deep regret :crybaby: I'm offering my 65 Dart GT for sale.
What do I have in it so far ? We won't go there because everybody already "knows" how that goes.
I'll start with the "bad". It needs carpet, headliner ( not sagging but has some snags and is just faunky ), door sill plates, exterior cosmetic touch up ( some blisters, chips, sags ), gage work ( gas gage is off/on, gage lights haven't been even considered yet, temp & speedo & amp are fine ).
The so-so. Upholstery is not perfect but entirely serviceable with a button loose and a couple of small snags. Glass is 46 years old but no problems driving at night or adverse weather conditions, it's good just ain't perfect. Dash pad needs the overlay installed (have). Interior trim needs painted uniform color. There's more but you know how it goes when you try to remember everything at once.
The good. Numbers matching. Fresh rebuild on 273 Charger engine and 904 trans. New Eddy 600 carb sitting on new high rise Offy manifold with slightly hotter than original cam and converted to hyd lifters. Pertronix conversion and hot coil bypassing ballast resistor. Will be doing 500 mile oil change within next few days. Tires new less than 1000 miles ago. Rear tires may have a few more miles cuz even with the 7.25 2.73 open rear end it does OK. Firm Feel UCA's, all new brake system ( dual chamber MC ),all new lines ( brake & fuel ), new gas tank, new shocks ( air on rear ), and more but refer to the remember issue.
Now if anyone is still reading this and is seriously interested they can check out my Member Resto thread http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=98120&highlight=humble+bee and read thru the trials and tribulations and see some before/after pics.
Included is a complete 8.75 assembly, 3.23 SG, brake shoes, drums, shock plates, the whole works except U-bolts. This rear end I really, really, REALLY want to sell along with the Dart as a package rather than selling separate. Other extra and spare parts.
Commando valve covers resto'd by CudaChick/Leanna !
I guess I need to quote a price. How about starting with $7500 OBO
Might consider my trade + for a fuel efficient car or pick-up.
I'll be home for the next 3 weeks and will do specific pics for anyone SERIOUSLY interested. Please contact me by e-mail since I don't get on FABO as often as I like since the biz started taking off.
Thought if I made this long and rambling enough I'd type myself out of it. Guess not. THX FABO
