your Mopar's story

It will be three years ago this July when I bought my Dart. I had heard it was coming to town but NEVER thought I would get a chance to buy it. The PO had bought the car in 2004 to drive in the Hot Rod Power Tour. While on the tour he broke the oil pan and had the car towed back to Texas where it sat for seven years. He decided to bring it up to my home town to a big car show to see if he could sell it as he was having a street rod built here and wanted to put the money from the dart into his new ride. I was at the beginning of the show and a buddy of mine that has a 69 Dart was talking about my Dart and was going to look at it. I asked if I could tag along and off we went. As soon as I walked into the trailer and saw the Dart I was in love. My buddy was looking it over pretty close and saying that it was a good car so I stood back. After he looked it over I asked if he was going to get it and he said that he did not have the time or money for another project. That was all I needed to hear! I called the owner and made the deal. It was delivered two days later and the fun began. I pulled the motor, put a new oil pan on it and it fired right up. I have been upgrading things on the car ever since. In one of the pics you can see a pic of my 68 dart and my buddies 69 Swinger in my driveway!
