    Back up lights 1964 Dart

    Hi All- My 64 Dart 270 does not have reverse lights. I guess the GT had the chrome piece across the trunk face with the reverse lights. Does anyone have ideas on how to add them? I could try to find a GT trunk and swap it out as one option. But I wondered if anyone figured out something...

    Apparently no one makes rear window seal/ gasket for 64 Dart

    Hi All- I need a rear window gasket for a 64 Dart 2 door sedan (b pillar post). I have looked all over and no one makes one. The front is available, and other years for the rear window but not '64. Has anyone had this same issue and found a solution?

    Please don't kill me...

    OK, here's my thought and apologies to purists: Made my '64 Dart a daily driver with a rebuilt /6. It wasnt the original motor (numbers indicate '67 or later), but what was in it when I bought it. This particular car was rode hard and put away wet, used, abused, and generally mistreated. So I...

    How much play is too much?

    Wondering if this is normal or not for a 64 Dart, manual steering. There’s a lot of play in the steering. Using the clock analogy, when driving straight I can move the wheel back and forth from almost 11 o’clock to 1 o’clock and not affect the steering/ direction. It’s like some old...

    weirdest engine

    Just wondering how far out it gets. What's the weirdest most unexpected engine you've ever put in an A body or heard of going into one. I'm hoping somebody put a 4-banger Japanese motor in one - just for variety.

    How the F#@% do I remove it?!

    Hi All- trying to remove the broken parking brake handle from my '64 Dart. It's just a handle and pin holding it in place. But I can't get the friggin' thing out for the life of me. I thought it was as simple as pushing the old pin out, remove the handle, put the new handle on and tap the new...

    Wheels, brakes, suspension sequence

    OK- Newb question here. '64 Dart 270, everything stock so far, recently purchased but has been neglected for years. I need advice on sequence of upgrades. The suspension front and rear is soft and sad, feels like a sailboat gong around corners and hit any bump at highway speed and it's a...
