This puppy was my daily driver for about 5 years after a '76 4-door valiant that I had and sold... the Valiant had over 380,000 miles and ran strong.

This Dart I bought from Dale's Auto Parts a long time ago for $700. A bit too steep because it needed a head job, the transmission broke, radiator leaked... suspension fell apart... rear end blew.... u-joints crunched in reverse and still do... it's an all around mess. The body is shot and needs some work. But now that the exaust is new, transmission is rebuilt... suspension is new, swaybar in the back, KYB shocks..... (need to weld mounts on the control arms for the front swaybar... too old.. later models had them already). Car was fantastic until the bottom end of the motor went.

Look forward to sticking another motor in it so it can be mobile once again. I still have plans on building it up even further.

Old school with an old Offenhuaser...
