Bride Of Frankenstein
I thought I pieced together the history of this '64 Dart pretty good before buying it long distance. It only had a couple owners ( I thought). With Covid-19, I paid for an inspection and appraisal. I did not ask to take all the paint of the fender tag so I could read the #s...
The seller was convinced it was a factory original 4 spd. This is what I found after FINALLY getting under the cart to pull the tranny for clutch and synchros.
These gear markings look like they are from a wrecking yard? The shift plate side cover is the upgraded, beefier one. The Hurst shifter looks period correct, and the casting number is 1960's.
Guess the tranny had to come from somewhere, huh? Should probably count a few gear teeth to see what I'm actually playing with.
