Dallas Native 1967 Dart GT Convertible
Initially my buddy was really prodding me to get it running and drive it. I tend to do a full tear down and do a long drawn out restore. I agreed, better to get it going and worry about it being perfect later.
He forwarded an ad for a 2000 mile stock rebuild 318, complete, edelbrock carb to pan with electronic dizzy, rebuilt 727 with converter, and headers. The guy pulled it from a Charger he bought and swapped a big block in to. $500 and it was mine. Pulled the valve covers, looked as much as we could. Looked like a fresh-ish engine.
Brought it home for a test fit after pulling everything from the engine bay and cleaning up a bit, a few spot treatments with POR15. Other than the battery and master cylinder area, it was rust free, which was a big deal for me. This is also after I started on the suspension, it didn't come that clean!
