New member and potential Dart owner

Was able to check out the car today.

Body is on the rough(er) side. There are several moderate dents, although nothing major is creased or damaged too badly. The rear floor panels are shot, but that's about the extent of the rust. My suspicion is that water soaked through the carpet and sat with the drain plugs still in. It seems I should be able to get new floor pans, and I'm pretty good with a MIG gun and angle grinder so I think it's manageable.

However, the engine is a true gem. It's got a 225 slant 6 (to my surprise), but get this. The owners had the entire engine and etc. replaced in 1997. When the shop wrote the ticket up, it had 106,304 miles. Checked it today - 106,324 miles. The shop was about 20 miles away. Yep. They got the entire kit replaced, drove it home, and it's been there ever since. Oil looks great, air cleaner is damn near new, etc.

If I didn't find out about the engine, I'd be on the fence. But that pretty much sells it for me. I'm going to make an offer in the coming days after consulting with my fellow partners. I'll report back once I know some more info.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone!
