    I'm back...or atleast I think

    Today is a SAD day. I went to look at it and I wish this guy would've sold it to me 10 years ago when I started asking him. There was a somewhat large embellishment in descrpition of the car. I think it was more of his perception than the reality of what it actually is. The great part is the...

    I'm back...or atleast I think

    I'm in Portsmouth, Virginia. The car is an all original la273 engine, floor console shift, a/c, powersteering, 8 3/4 differential. It is said to have only 1 hole in each lower quarter panel, I'll really find out when I get there, but he says the rest of the body is straight. The dash as he...

    I'm back...or atleast I think

    Quite some time ago I was on here because I had a frien of mine that was going to sell me his 69 Dodge Dart gt, all original which has been sitting in a garage untouched since 1989. Well after some time he backed out on the deal and I was devastated. All that research time, anticipation, and...

    Just got screwed out of a car!!

    Oh yeah my plan is to keep for myself ultimately. As I've told her don't look at it as it is now, rather look at what it can be. So for her to look at one in a raw state might spur her creative thinking process.

    Just got screwed out of a car!!

    I actually only like 2 Corvette's a 67 Stingray and 63 Split window and to own those I'd have to win the lottery, so I don't see that happening. I thought about the beater thing, we joked around and I told her I was going to get her an old Buick or an Olds, and make it something of a battering...

    Just got screwed out of a car!!

    I'vee been trying to buy this car for the past 9 yrs, when his dad was alive. It just sits in the garage, that's all. Over and over I've asked him if he was ever going to do anything with it and his response was always, one day when I get around to it. We're best of friends so this will not...

    273 Engine set up I'm thinking of going with, let me know what you think

    The reason I'm staying with the 273 is because of the originality of the car. I'm buying it from a friend of mine that was his dad's and has been sitting in his garage since 1989. Nothing has been done to this car outside of maintenance, it's all original. His dad ordered it from Dodge and it...

    273 Engine set up I'm thinking of going with, let me know what you think

    "If they would all detonate no one would be happy." Not sure what you mean by that? The 9.6/1 is your final ratio I take it. Do you run 87 octane or CAN you I should ask? Is the performance ok? Not sure what the timing has to be with these given my cam selection. Is it somewhere around 8deg...

    273 Engine set up I'm thinking of going with, let me know what you think

    The reason why I was thinking about using Edelbrock was becasue all three are a "matched" component set, up to about 5500 rpm. If there are other cam, intake, carb set up's that work well together, even if they are from different manufacturers please let me know. I'd like to see the imput on...

    Thinking about a rack and pinion for a 69 Dart gt

    I just found out the car has factory power steering!!!!! So I talked to A1 Cardone and they list all the parts but don't have any, they said their inventory is obsolete on this, however there are internet companies that have bought it out and to get it from them. I'm thinking this stuff works...
