Proud Early A Owner

Nice car!

It hasn't been said yet, but take it from someone who's "been there, done that": Never sell that car! You state this is your "pride and joy", and you're going to make a ton of memories with it, but 30-40 years from now you don't want to be looking back with regrets, if you ever sell it.

Trust me on this. I don't think I'm the only one here who feels this way.

Enjoy the ride!

I third this! We all have the-car-that-got-away stories. I wish I'd have kept my 52 Studebaker but stupidly I let it go. That's a nice looking Dart you have there.

If you haven't dived deep into your swap, you may want to start sourcing the engine mounts and center link. They are specific for the V8 cars from 63-66.
