Bought a Frankenstein 69 Dart, someone put a 74 Duster sheet metal on the front of the car. Got a good deal on it, has 4 brand new tires and wheels on it. Wife made the guy sell the car. Plus I got another set of wheels and tires with the car.
Since this is being posted in the Race section, we (me) are building this car to run in the sportsman class (12 flat and slower) at LVMS, that class seems to be lacking cars. Driver to named at a later dated...LOL Plus this wont be done until this fall at least.
Body seems to be in decent condition, could only see a few rust spots in one quarter behind the passenger side wheel. Has nice seats and headliner. Someone hacked the dash were the radio goes but we will fix that later.
The goal is to use parts that I already have and not buy anything. I had to pay for machine work on the block, bored and honed with plate was 250 plus the shop charged 100 dollars to repair 6 head bolts with helicoils. Plus 95 dollars to turn crank to 10/10. I will have to spend money to get a 8 3/4 housing under it. Got a couple wider ones that can be narrowed. Got several center sections already to choose from. (4.30- 4.56 with spools)
The motor is a 273 that is frozen. Will not turn over. Has hooker headers, eddy performer, eddy 1405 carb, and small aluminum radiator, these parts probably will not be used.
