Them cars were the cats pajamas all those years ago. May even have front wheel drive if my memory is quasi intact? Man they were big heavy and quiet! But they would fly!

Sorry Tim.
That sucks, it's not correct.
What are your thoughts on mine. It has been sitting garaged for 50 years with unknown amount of gas in it. I ordered a syphon today to get rid of whatever gas is in there. What are my next steps? Is there a way to clean without removing the tank? Here is a pic from under the car. Thanks.

No good way without pulling the tank from what I know.

1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years
UPDATE May 21, 2024 Welcome, for those of you reading this build for the first time, the car is done and I could not be happier with the result. It took 1 year to complete. Thanks for following along. Hello all, found the forum searching for info on the 1969 Dodge Dart we just received...

@Mopar Tim, was there an issue with your existing tank or did you just want to replace it?
