1969 Dodge Dart Custom Sedan Slant Six, Father-Son Project
This summer we'll install air-conditioning into this car, as well as do some nit stuff like EFI tuning tricks, and adding some firewall acoustic insulation. Maybe even modify the exhaust, as the way the local shop made the custom Y-collector just seems like an inefficient-flow design.
But for now, the Dart has officially driven off to its new home, with my son wearing a huge smile as he heads north on I-5 out of Seattle up to his college hometown, to go wrap up the Spring quarter of classes. He's been driving my Volvo station wagon for the past few months while the Dart gets the final steps completed, and it sure is weird seeing that Volvo back in my garage!
That Dart's B7 Medium Metallic Blue color - the original color of this car - looks great. It really changes hue on you, too, between direct sunlight and overcast lighting, and even at night.
It's definitely going to be a memorable First Car to have for him!
