Got me another early A!
So my ‘64 Dart has been in storage for about two years now. Other projects have gotten in the way. I’ve been steady collecting parts to put a 340W2 setup in it this time around.
Anyways, one of the cars I’ve been working on was an Omni GLH turbo. After spending too much money and 9months getting it put together how I wanted it, I got it on the road. A few months later and the turbocharger self destructs. So out of frustration, I reach out to a friend who has wanted my GLH since I got it and we worked out a trade.
I ended up with a ‘65 Dart GT. 225 auto. Was original gold with a black bucket seat interior. The original engine was toast and has been replaced with a rebuilt ‘87 225 hydraulic cam engine. Still has the original torqueflite under it. The front suspension has been rebuilt, sway bar added, and a new disc brake conversion with BBP. The original 7.25” rearend was replaced with an 8.25”. The car runs and yard drives.
The front seats have been recovered and have new foam. The original rear seat looks minty fresh. Floor pan was patched. Sound deadener and new carpet kit. Heater box was allegedly rebuilt as well. Some of the weather stripping has also been replaced.
So there’s a long list of stuff to fix, but first I need to adjust the glass so the doors can shut without hitting the rear quarter windows. Not really sure on how that’s done.
Anyway here’s a couple of pictures. More to come later.
