how did you get your mopar?
I had been looking for a good Dart project car for almost two years. Looked in the usual places eBay, Moparts, newspaper etc. Didn't really have much luck. Looked at several cars but they were all over priced or needed too much metal work. Finally found my car on Moparts and emailed and phoned back and forth with the guy for a couple weeks. I sent him $500 deposit and made plans to go pick it up the next weekend. Took a Friday off work and started on the 6 1/2 hour drive pulling a trailer. Made it to his house and checked out the car, shook his hand and sealed the deal. We decided to come back in the morning and load up the car rather than leaving it outside at the motel all night. Overnight, an ice storm came through, and EVERYTHING was like a skating rink including the trailer! Have you ever tried to pull a car that you've never driven before, that has a stall converter, onto a trailer that is covered with ice?!?! Scary to say the least. We got it loaded up and began our sloooooow drive home. Took us an extra 4 hours of white knuckle driving to get home.
When we got home, I realized that it was my wife's birthday, so we loaded up the family in the new Dart and went out to dinner!!!
