2013 Peach City Beach Cruise - lots of pictures
This past weekend Carmen and I drove my Dart the 12 hour round trip to the Peach City Beach Cruise in Penticton, BC. Everything went well except for a gas gauge which didn't work, because one of the copper lines in the circuit board melted.
We drove up with a friend of mine who just bought a nice 72 Dart, /6 auto. We slept in Merritt, and in the morning went to the gas station to fill up. While there, Bruce (scatpacknorth) showed up in his cool 69 Dart with a couple of his friends, one in a 68 Mustang coupe - 289, and the other in a 69 El Camino - 454. The El Camino's starter wire melted on the header, so I spent a couple hours under the car with Kim, the owner, fixing the problem. After that, we were good to do the rest of the drive.
Favorite line of the weekend.. A guy and his 2 sons looking at my Dart as I fire it up, the dad says, "Son, if you had a car like that, you might get yourself a girlfriend!"
Anyways, hope everyone likes the pics.

Love this old Buick.
