Just waiting on wheel cylinders, brake hoses, an oil filter and some other small parts to arrive (should be today). I made all new steel lines, put in another single master cylinder I had from my '65 Valiant before I converted it to a dual master.
Put the bumpers back on and cleaned them up a...
Had to put in an ignition switch as someone previous had drilled it out and put in a pushbutton to start it, what a pain! I'm a huge Mopar guy but what a stupid design. Had to remove the gauge faceplate, but the screws were rusted, so had to drill those out. Then the ignition switch is held on...

The floors are there, although the front pans show history of being worked on. The issue is the frame rails, the rears are a bit crusty, and the fronts aren't far behind. I will get it up on the hoist and get a better look.
I only discovered a stuck valve because I pulled the rocker assembly off to check it out. I tapped it free and that was that. I haven't yet tried to start it (got busy) but I think it'll be ok. I don't really want to dump too much money into it, other than the basics to make it safe to drive.
Here's another one that I've been working on to try to save. I was offered this car by a guy down island, who said it was absolutely rust free and drove around the yard. After getting screwed around for a week to go get it, I finally got to it and realized it was not as described. The frame...
I bought it from Year One years ago, it's the correct style for the car. I don't know what cut pile means but a quick google search told me household? But nope, it was a regular loop style for a '70 Dart. Nothing weird going on lol
I don't have a part number or manufacturer, but I recall it being ACC carpet. It should fit your '69 Dart, the rule of thumb for the Dart is '67 - 76.
Correct, column shift with a bench seat. If you have a console, just cut the carpet where you need for your shifter hole and console brackets...
Dark green carpet from my '70 Dart 2 door hardtop.
This is automatic carpet, not 4 speed
It's in great condition, with no wear or stains. The car has Collector plates on it so the carpet has been kept in great shape as well.
$150 CAD. New for us guys in Canada is $200 + about $100 in shipping...
To me they look identical, other than the burgundy one has that little bumpout for some reason. I only can find the single burgundy one.. so if you want the pair, the green ones are what I have. I will figure out shipping today, thanks.
