    Rarity (and desirability) of a slant six/ factory 4 speed?

    wow, never thought the question would have generated 3 pages worth of good conversation. Regardless the car was gone that day before I got off work to go look at it. If the seller was legit, then it was a 17k mile one owner survivor, though the amount of duct tape on that seat makes me think...

    Dumb (but urgent) control arm question!

    Lol, thanks for the answers. I have the bottom one, which i now assume is a drivers side. so yeah, HEMI71X, I'd be interested in grabbing the pass (top one in the picture) side from ya if it's reasonable. A dude on evilbay has one for $50 shipped, but I'd rather support someone in our community...

    Dumb (but urgent) control arm question!

    I bought a big bolt disc set up from a guy out in WA and during shipping the boxes got beat up... in the end, they showed up to me tattered, and missing the prop valve and one of the control arms. The dude who i bought it from was cool enough to refund part of the money, but now I have one...

    NOT MINE. http://detroit.craigslist.org/cto/1261117823.html $1750 I saw the ad on CL and went to look at it a few months ago. The seller is a real nice guy. I probably woulda bought it, if i didn't already have 3 other projects in the works, but it would make a cool beater, or a cheap...

    Newbie 65 Dart suspension Question

    Ok, so I'm well into the chase for the BBP disc brake front, and i think i know if some rear ends around too. I looked into Spitfire headers, and i was pretty surprised to find that the dude who runs it has a track roecord that is ...less than stellar to say the least! I figured i'd contact...

    New guy form the motor city!

    Thanks for the comments guys! As far and motor is concerned, its a 440/727, which was a pain in the butt trying to keep low enough so that we wouldn't have to cut the hood.

    Newbie 65 Dart suspension Question

    thanks for the response. when you swapped the front brakes to discs, what components did you use? later a-body? and the spitfire headers, did you have to cut the inner fenders to get them through? thanks again

    WTB: 66 Canadian Valiant chrome!

    yeah, i know it's a stretch, but we have a 66 Canadian Valiant GT (it's a dart with a few valiant emblems) On the c-pillar where there would normally be the "GT" script on dart GTs of the same year, it has a Valiant "V" see pic. It wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't an exclusive piece, that...

    Newbie 65 Dart suspension Question

    pardon my ignorance on this, and feel free to direct me to a thread if there is already one covering this: Does anyone ever upgrade to a 5"x4.5" lug pattern on their early a-bodies? Do later components like volares/ later a bodies swap in? Is there a beefier rear out there that drops right...
