    Valiant is no more, Drunk Driver totaled it.

    Damn man!!! I’m soo sorry to hear this! I’ve been eye balling your car for about a year so. I wanted to ask if it was for sale but never had any extra funds. That was a sweet little car. I glad you or your family wasn’t hurt! Give them hell!

    Any Road Trips?

    Zip tie drags in Tucson from Riverside Ca. Went to Irwindale to meet up with the Roadkill crew first and then headed out. Had an absolute blast. About 1200miles total. Doing it again next year.

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    Thank you for that! I never even gave a thought to anything like this! I still drive it all the time, even with the carb problem. It will pop and backfire once in a while. The carb is soo annoying that even my 8yr old will say “Stupid Carb!” Lol I have a few carbs laying around that I will look...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    That’s great. My problem is the carb is a 2bbl carter that is just a huge pain in the a$$. I don’t want to spend the money on a 4bbl setup because I have 360 mag motor to replace the 273. But I need a new bell housing, clutch, flywheel, etc., etc, first. Just lacking the funds right now

    2JZ VVT engine swap in an Early A Body?

    I found it on Deadclutch. I’m too dumb with computer stuff to link (actually I’m on my phone)

    2JZ VVT engine swap in an Early A Body?

    There was a guy in Canada that did a 1jz swap with a Toyota truck 5spd and rear end into a ‘64 Vailiant. He also did a swap to struts up front and I believe coilovers in the rear. I’ve entertained the thought of the swap you’re doing to be different and for the power. It would be a ton of fun...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    No work today, so the Beater is getting some love. I got the parts to finish off the front end rebuild minus shocks (no $$..yet). New front tires and an alignment to follow. I did the headlight relay rewire/upgrade along with a new battery tray. I don’t know what I was worried about. There...

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    Working on brakes. I need to redo the front brake lines. I switched to a dual master cylinder and the front lines stripped when I tried to remove them from the block. New lines and bleed the system, then I'm driving. I'm trying to make the Fall Fling next weekend

    If you could do ONE upgrade...

    It's a toss up between an Alterkation front end and dropping in my 5.7 hemi after I attach a 6spd behind it.

    how many 68 Darts are out there

    My parents brought me home from the hosiptal in a '68 GTS 340/auto. My dad sold/bought that car 3 times over about 11yrs . That made me like that model year of the Dart the most. Besides the round marker lights on the slab side looks good. I have a '68 GT Ragtop made into a GTS clone. It's...

    SoCal Car ****

    I hate to say this but that is a nice camaro. The early Cuda on the corner is not far from my house. I drive truck for a living (if you want to call it that) and ride my Harley as much as possible, so I am all over SoCal. I see a ton of older and classic cars all the time but Mopars seam to...

    What older Dodge pickup truck would you get if you could choose?

    Nice trucks!! Being that you are in SoCal I would watch out for smog. The smog parts for those old dodge trucks that need to be smogged can be real tough to come by!! Good luck!!

    Wana Buy BUT ,Whats the difference in dart convertibles 67-68-69??

    This!! I bought mine a year ago for 6k (`68 vert). It's a GT and the guy had every piece to clone a GTS. I mean everything... hood, door panel emblems, side letters, everything ...including the grill piece! It is a 340/auto. He gave me buckets and a center console too. The trans was shot...

    Hitch?

    I believe I have an owners manual..but not 100% sure. It's funny you say tear drop trailer. My dad and I are building one for him. I want a small old school travel trailer. Something like 10ft long. Just enough that my wife, my child, and I can sleep in. I would like to see a picture of your setup.

    Hitch?

    Thanks guys! I don't plan to tow with it. I got a 1ton cummins for real towing!!8) Really just mainly to plug a bike carrier into. Hidden behind the plate is what I was thinking. I just wanted to see if anyone had done anything like this. I will find a way! :D

    Hitch?

    I know this crazy but I want a hitch on my `68 dart. My car is a convert and I want to load the bicycles and cruise down to the beach. I have seen the old school bent flat bar hitches but that isn't going to cut it. I can't have one of those strap onto the trunk lid bike holder setups either. I...
