I posted that photo and @pettybludart had to have one. He found a 170 post, shipped it home to Canada and eventually made it into a race car.Holy cow Mike.... That was a sweet car... Wish mine look like that when I am done with it...

Lite em up! Here's another cool sedan that will make you drool.Bent... More fuel to our fires.....
Well the time has come.
Last year I put the '66 back on the road after 11 years sitting in the garage.
Did the fuel system, tune up, LOF, front disc brake conversion
wheels ,tires and rear brakes and alignment.
Now its time for the exterior and interior . The Dart is in the body shop for some minor repairs and a complete paint job with a color change.
What you see now was done in 1975 so ya its time.
I'll make a new post later when its show time.

Funny how one can feel so differently about an appearance after a little time. Looks like the paint is pretty good? Not a lot of prep work?Well the time has come.

Looks like a pretty nice original.View attachment 1715186513 View attachment 1715186512 View attachment 1715186511 View attachment 1715186510 Not mine, it went for 7400 on eBay, I talked myself out of it, mostly because the **** would have hit the fan at home. Promised the wife 2 or 3 cars ago, “this is the last one”
Just sharing some pictures of my '66 Dart 270 Convertible RHD.
Restoration was carried out in 2010/2011. Car is off the road at the moment due to leaking/broken exhaust manifold and fuel pump (which I have ordered). Then, I should be getting the car inspected and taxed and should be good to go. Those exterior pictures are mostly taken recently, and yes the car still looks the same

Hey that the same car you teased scott with !!!This is the one that re-started it for me. Saw it at the Nats back in 08'View attachment 1715173002 View attachment 1715173003
Welcome and cool stuff. Almost identical to mine only a automatic and Made in Canada.My 1966 Dart GT, I just acquired it from a chevy guy who had plans of an LS or demo derby...I had to save the car. I plan to build a D Dart style clone out of it, the car was built in Ontario Canada, shipped to Eudora Kansas, and it spent it's entire life there until the kid before me got it. It is a factory 273 hi-po 4 barrel, 727 automatic, 8 3/4 rear end. I don't know if there is a sure grip yet, but I am gonna check once the snow melts. The interior was black&white buckets/console with the ZZ1 exterior paint code. The original owner also turned the car into a funky street machine(I am kind of fond of that look) I am gonna fix the flares(make them better), repair the rust, and build a D Dart spec 273 but shoot for a little more power with some home porting. If y'all are interested in checking out the build, just search Scott's Speed Shop on you tube, the car has been dubbed the Yard Dart.

Thanks again Mike for showing me the ropes brother, glad to be apart of such a cool little community.Welcome and cool stuff. Almost identical to mine only a automatic and Made in Canada.
Took mine for a first test drive a little while back. Skip to 5:00 if you're not interested in cold starts w/o choke on seven cylinders.
