1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build
This may have been a dumb move but I picked up another car today! This belonged to an ex girlfriend’s grandfather and the car has been in their family since the 70’s. I had last seen this car in Chanute, KS around 2001. Long story short, my ex’s brother has had the car for many years. He drove it through college and eventually it just got to where he couldn’t keep it running. Thought maybe an electrical problem was the issue but it’s been sitting at a storage for over a year with no time or money to work on it. He offered it up to me several months back and I didn’t jump. Said I’d like to see pictures and such before I committed to it. He sent me a few and then offered it up for a price I couldn’t refuse. I said I’d take it and I picked it up in Dallas today. It’s cosmetically rough, but everything is there and it’s structurally pretty solid from what I can see. More solid than my Dart was when I got it, but cosmetically the Dart looked a lot better lol. So kind of polar opposite cars. My plans for it? I don’t even know!
