My Dart has been wrecked at some point. I know the hood and truck lid are not original (blue paint showing through on the underside). The shock openings in the engine compartment are not centered and I always figured it was from a hack repair from the wreck. I ran into a guy at a car show that had a Dart with a very close VIN number to mine, built at the same Los Angeles plant and had the same hack arcing on the shock openings. Apparently, the factory used some kind of arcing device to center the openings on the assembly line...
