New owner 63 Dart 170 2 door sedan
Just thought I'd say hi. I recently picked up a 63 dart 2 door sedan from Nevada. I am up in Canada however. It came up here over 15 years ago and was in dry storage ever since.
It is completely rust free and all original including the paint. The only issues are the engine had the intake taken off and the rear window and roof got damaged when the car got away from the transporters from Nevada and it rolled under a semi trailer and the ball hit the roof denting it and breaking the rear glass. The hammer and dollied out the roof pretty good. I just have to locate a rear glass.
I already got the car running and it started really easy. All I had to doo was install the new core plugs (old ones were corroded and already removed), reinstall the starter and the intake and exhaust manifold. Car only shows 65,000 miles and I think it may be original.
Already replaced all the rubber parts in the brakes but the rest was already new (still showing paint), got all the rubber parts for the engine and transmission ordered, new filters and tires. Just today I ordered a new tank as the old one was so filled with varnish and muck I didn't want to deal with it.
I replaced the intake studs and have cleaned and painted the intake and breather since, but am pulling the engine to replace the torque converter seal on the transmission and will be replacing the seals and some gaskets on the engine and clean and paint the engine and engine bay while it is out.
Looking forward to getting this on the road.
