Your car is worth every penny you put into it. My wife and I did a 64 Dart GT about 5 yrs ago and have nothing but fun with it in the summers up here in the northeast. We got ours after the car did not meet the reserve on ebay. I thought it was a diamond in the rough from the pics they had on ebay. I contacted the seller a few days after the auction and went and looked at the car a week later. I bought it and had it shipped from maryland to western ny. The car had 63000 origanal miles on it with the 273 and pushbutton auto. The car has 68000 now and just keeps getting better the more we drive it. Have fun with your car!!!
