    Black M Code GTS at Mecum

    Geez, what's with the attack. "Another guy brainwashed by the expensive car wash hucksters." No, wrong. I've owned black cars for over 50 years. I know how to take care of them to not "repaint them every few years". If you spend more money on wax than gasoline you're part of the...

    Black M Code GTS at Mecum

    I was cringing watching him wash that car. He asks if there is a wrong way to wash a car. Yeah, don't use a sponge, it will scratch paint, particularly black paint. I also don't like dumping water down old cars. It gets in the crevices and stays wet. That car was clean enough he could have...

    1963 Dart VIN Locations

    Just checked that number through the paint, not the VIN. So, a-pillar and IBM card only? Also, where to go to obtain the IBM card?

    1963 Dart VIN Locations

    I found the VIN on top of the radiator support like 63Dart said. It's about the only thing that hasn't been cut out on my car, lol.

    Restored car pet peeves

    I'll join the fray. A loaded muscle car (any marque) with a high end restoration with dog dish hubcaps. Don't get me wrong, I dig 'em on a big engined stripper, but you know that chances are that restored car came with full wheelcovers from the factory probably with the faux wires. You see it...

    1963 Dart VIN Locations

    I didn't want to hijack the "Is My Car a Tag Job" thread so thought it best to ask in a new one. Besides the driver door pillar are there other places to look? I have to go to the Highway Patrol for inspection for registration and thought it best to have some knowledge after reading the other...

    '63 Axle Measurements

    Asking a huge request here. I'm trying to determine how much the axles were moved on my '63 Dart GT. If someone would measure from the front of the door jamb to the centerline of the axle, pic A and also the back of the door jamb to the center of the rear axle, pic B, would be greatly...

    Hey Ya

    This looks like the best place for the early A bodies. Recent aquisition of a '63 Dart AWB with a sraight axle and 4-speed. Had a '66 A100 in high school that I bought new with a 225 and 3-speed. The old man said no V-8s. That lasted about six months when I bought the drivetrain out of a...
