74 Dart Sport Restoration

Thanks for the encouragement. Like I've said I have had the Dart for some time but just haven't had the time to do anything with it. I work on it when I can.

Depending on a persons interest, ie drag racing, cruising, concourse restorations and so forth, A lot of the A Bodies are somewhat under appreciated. More of the focus has been toward the B Body muscle car type and Hemis under the hood. At least that is the impression some get from watching the car auctions on TV. I will be participating in the Mecum Car auction in Austin this December as a driver.

I love to see the Hang Ten Darts, Dusters, A Body Road Runners, Demons and so forth.
There are still lots of good A Body cars out there with lots of parts available and a person can turn them into a very nice cruiser for the car shows and cruise nights. And with some effort you can transplant more modern drive trans into them and get good fuel mileage if that is a persons goal.

I think the average vintage car lover can have a great A Body ride for a lot less then a B Body.

A friend of mine in the MMCA, Mopar Muscle Cars of Austin, has a beautiful black and orange Demon that attracks a crowd everywhere it goes.

I'll post more on the Darts restoration as I go and I'll try to get back to the forum more often.
