My *** is grass......bought another Dart..
Y'know what I think happened?......I noticed that the 360 obviously has the lower radiator hose on the "wrong" side for a '68 Dart radiator.....AND the problem with the factory floor shifter linkage connecting with the Duster trans (special bracket may be missing)......AND the power steering pump bracketry connecting with the later 360 style water pump etc.....AND I noticed that the throttle cable isn't long enough to connect to the TQ 4-barrel carb. All these problems probably led the kid to say screw it. The dad told me his son got into rotary engines and RX-7's afterwards.
I'm gonna call this the "headknocker" Dart......kinda like just a bang-around loud-*** thrasher.......I'll probably let my sons drive it if they want. I might spend some $$ on it in a few years, but right now, it's......get it running, and THRASH!!!
As for my wife, for some reason she isn't too mad. I don't get it, but I like it. This just what I do.....I like to buy, fix up, have some fun, then maybe sell a few years down the road. I've made a few bucks here and there over the years, so she can't deny that. Unfortunately, I can't imagine myself selling this car.:cheers:
Speaking of dog dishes......there was a nice find in the trunk!
