My 1969 Dart GTS 340 thread!

The saga continued...

The car was delivered to me in mid July. The initial excitement wore off (quickly) once I realized how badly she was running and was able to see all the details. The car was in generally good shape but showing her age. She appeared to have been partially restored about 15 years ago and reasonably well done...but a lot was missed or ignored and the 360 Magnum engine install was apparently done by some local garage that didn't really know Mopars.

The car wouldn't stay running in gear at idle, it bucked and shook, rattled, groaned, the brakes were badly out of adjustment and it was nearly unroadworthy. Since I was going on vacation a week later all I could do was get a storage garage for her (no garage at my house) and park her while I wondered if I had gotten in deeper than I wanted to be. :(

It was going to be mid-August before I could even begin to figure out what I had on my hands...
