64 Dart Convertible Anniversary Edition

macman340 · Oct 26, 2016

I had been looking for a project Dart for about a year or so just casually sorta looking for the "right" one! My 1st car was a 69 Dart GT, then over the many years I owned a 65 Dart, and a 65 Barracuda, so I knew I like the style! Found this one to "Save", garage / Barn find on feebay

1964 Dodge Dart Convertible Anniversary Edition, 273 V8, pushbutton automatic 904

By no means finished yet, so here it is, on its journey back too life for all of you!
Many thanks to all here at FABO with all the tech, parts and more!

And so it began, I have been gathering parts from FABO, new parts from everywhere, restoring/ polishing old into new,

just need the $ to not run out!

I suppose it will be classified a RestoMod, mostly original looking & certainly all MoPar! Fire breathing 360, modern front discs for stopping, 8 3/4 rear to handle the power!

Starting with the floors, or whats left of them! Thanks again to a FABO member to help find the replacements!

Yeah, my 64 was a fun car. Cruised down the road just fine. The new owner has made several long trips from the NW to Phoenix and back. Brave soul with no AC and top down.
