I've been a Mopar guy since I was a kid, grew up watching S & M in pro stock, Richard Petty, etc. And even though I really liked the A and E bodies, B bodies were my favorites; my first car was a '69 Charger R/T, SE. Owned it for twelve years until I sold it in 1990 while waiting for my first son to be born. Man I wish I had that car now! But over the last few years, because of the price of B bodies and at the same time discovering the power-to-weight ratio of a V8 A body, I changed my tune and started looking at darts. I'm partial to the '67-'69 dart, although I also think the 70's darts and demon/dusters are really cool looking too. Back in HS/college my younger bro drove a '64 dart with a /6 and a 4 spd. hurst on the floor with bench seats. That car was fun to drive, and beat a few 289 mustangs along the way.
So after a year and a half of looking (and losing a couple of bids on e-bay) I finally got my dart! It's got a 360 MP crate motor with a tremec 5 spd and a 8.75 sure-grip with 3.55's. it handles like a stagecoach but man, is it fun to drive! After 20+ years of no muscle car in the house, I'm back in the game and loving it!
