This build is sick! the history is really cool to see too. Very much dig the color and overall look. Yall did great.
P.S. Falling Down is my favorite movie.
This was a bit of work. All 4 are 17x8 inch USWheel Chrysler OE. It was going to be 8's on the back and 7's on the front but the 7's were on backorder.
2 of the wheels were warped pretty bad and obviously had been refurbished (touch ups and stuff). The car shook pretty good around 50mph. They...
@abdywgn Thanks man!
I get groceries in this thing. I want to keep it a driver... some how.
Latest is we did a brake job. Rock Auto. It needed it. The rotors were warped. Got that done and then the heater core is leaking, haha. I get the feeling a lot will be gone through on this car over time...
Wow thanks for the replies! Very cool to see the compression ratios and peoples experience. Certainly a lot to read and think about here.
@4spdragtop I suppose 300-400 hp/tq range. Much easier if I just get a blueprint 408 build. A friend of mine (who builds cars, but not the engines...
I wish I knew more about the car. I have talked to the previous owner and the one before that and there isn't much. Any tips on finding previous owners? Did a basic vin search and it didn't come up with much, sadly.
I am curious about the possibility of a performance 273 build. If this idea is just downright stupid let me know.
I like unique things and I was wondering if it is possible to build a solid built 273 with high RPM and decent power.
I have a 1968 Dart (originally slant 6) currently with a...
Realizing I never posted the pics!
Been driving the car. I have to do a brake job and going to do a new Willwood master for that.
I bought this car a little bit too early but you gotta strike while the iron is hot. I just couldn't pass on this one.
I might look in to it a bit more and talk to the DMV. But yeah I figure it doesn't matter, but ofcourse want to know especially since friend of mine who runs a restoration shop said he never heard of it before.
But likely some N/A type stuff for NC. Thanks!
Just got my title for the 68 Dart and I noticed the it says VOID VOID in very faint (have to see at an angle, almost looks like just nothing is there) in the boxes for Odometer Reading, Odometer Status, and Title Brands.
Any thoughts or concerns on this? Title in VA when signed over was not this...
Hey everybody. I am new to FABO but have been on FBBO for a long time. 2011 I picked up a 1968 Coronet 440 project. Very much a ground up project car of 13 years and counting (500 stroker 440 / RMS / 5spd TKX)
Recently many stars aligned and I'm now the proud owner of a 1968 Dodge Dart 270...
