1965 Dodge Dart Charger (?)
The story is that the car was purchased at a local dealership new, and never left the area. The previous owners had the car in the family a long time, and had several motors in it. The last iteration, they blew up a small block, and used a 1974 a body to donate motor, OD transmission, rear end, disc brakes, power brake booster, and probably more. The interior has been redone—black vinyl and carpet, turquoise piping, etc.
Floor pans are hanging in, typical rust around rear quarters.
I worked on it for about a year in the dirt. Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of bringing her home. The car lives in a garage now, which is a big plus. Since pulling it out of the weeds,I’ve done the following to get the car on the road (probably will forget a couple things):
-Cleanup
-Carb rebuild
-Spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor
-Conversion to manual brakes as a cheap fix for leaking booster/master cylinder
-15x7 wheels all around we’re donated, so I took the deal and bought new tires (215 60/15) all the way around
-Gas tank
-Sending Unit
-Mini starter
