Mod/Floral Top and project change of direction
So Id been planning to build my 69 Dart Custom into a cool driver/daily with carbureted 5.7, upgraded axle n brakes etc. Was going to keep the F6 and black bench interior. But after a year of owning it, i decided to look at the Fender Tag and, umm... V1H!!!
According to the ModTop registry its 1 of 25 Dart Custom Floral Top cars!!! So... No Hemi, no big brakes/big bolt pattern, no 8.75 axle. Now it looks like ill be doing a stock resto on a matching numbers car (i just checked)!!! Its no HemiCuda, but its rarer than one haha!!! Can't believe im so excited about a slant six car- but Ive never had anything "special" or rare-ish before. Funny thing, car changed hands a couple times just before I got it, and a local Mopar "guru" had it and didn't catch what it was!! Works for me!!! So any other Mod/Floral owners/fans out there???
