I bought a 74 Dart 4 door for a drive to work beater! Slant PS, factory A/C, auto 10inch drum. Half moon headlight covers, and "Jr. Bling" hubcaps. :lol:

Tank leaks so the former owner installed a 6 gallon "fuel cell". Looks like a plastic generator tank to me.

It has the cracked exhaust manifold (I think) $400 worth of speakers.

Strong running, no smoke, and the guy drove it 60 miles one way to deliver it.

I will have no problem making it my drive to work beater! Something I can park without fear of it being stolen. :wink:

I bought it from a guy and his wife. I told them I couldn't get there until Sunday. They told me if I gassed it up they would bring it to my house 50 miles away.

The dude drove it with no tag, or insurance.

That ain't happening. Dependable is all that is going to get. Money goes to 72 Duster and Cummins.
