Your right, it will come down to me actually seeing the material at some shop that specializes in vinyl tops to hold a white against the new Biege paint and then maybe there would be a shade so close to the biege that I would personalize my $20,000. resto. outside of the concourse original...

Thanks guys, I sort of expected it to be that. Now here's one I want to thrown out there because I am proceeding along nicely with my full resto: days from having the complete power train finished just out of this world Mopar correct, new. and am only a few months from stripping the body and...

I'm getting ready to do the complete body resto. on my great score from the original owner of a (color code, Lt. biege) GT. I've seen old promotional material that always show a black vinyl on the front 3/4 roof between the GT 'cage' trim. What were the choices offered then to be concourse...

The paint code is stamped into the plate that is always on the top of the driver's side fenderwell (next to battery)

I've converted my very nice '65 GT 273 commando to the front rotor dbl. master 8-3/4 rear end so of course the rotor system that I got off of e-bay last fall (from a '65 cuda) required I go to 14" SBP wheels which I found in great shape, had them sand blasted and powder coated (little overkill)...

I'm just a few miles over in Mountain View and last summer bought a '65 GT from the original owner here in Sant Clara. He was 88 and bought it new. My third CA car resto that is 100% rustfree, it too had 100% of the body trim in above average condition and of course the interior needed a...

I've spent the last six months restoring perfectly the whole power train in my '65 GT. The last huge score was finding seperately an actual correct 8-3/4 rear with the 10" drums and located a perfect suregrip. I went high and low to find original power steering and the correct front rotor system...

Hey, Monroe Mich., I grew up in Jackson but now live out in CA. I see your thread is a bit old. Any chance you still have that sway bar? If so, would it fit on my '65 GT? Thanks, F.P.

Andy, I like the advice Dan, Mike, Chief, and Mark have given. Since I picked up my '65 GT last summer I picked up five or six odd ball lamps some white inner, red inner, good, bad, and ugly lamps only because my left (red outer center was cracked). I've never seen an inner thats (one piece red)...

Just as you've shown I looked at many promotional brocheres and numerous show quality rear views and they all place the reverse lens on the outside. So a few weeks back I set about taking all the lights out to reverse the pieces properly but the bolt holes don't match, the reverse lens bulb hole...

I just read all of the reply threads and no one (even mine) gave you what I sense you should know. I got a '65 GT last summer and knew it could and would be a cool car if I went ahead and did it right. It had the same engine as you, the 273 2 bbl. and I knew it was high miles and tired and...

I've been doing a full resto on a '65 Dart GT and noticed that in many thumbnail pictures I've seen to study what is common and correct, the clear backup center lense has been both on the trunk lid side and then on the outside quarter panel side. I thought mine had been switched wrong by the...

I did the conversion on my '65 and got everything I needed from a scalped '65 cuda. The problem arose when the brake shop was rebuilding my calipers he said not only did I need the correct tandem master and proper proportioning valve but the power assist was a must to push the hydralics evenly...

Last summer I picked up an original owner '65 Dart GT from an old guy. It was a CA bone dry 100% with over 200k miles but it needed end to end restoration to be cool again. I quickly checked many resources to find that even the nicest finished project A-bodies weren't getting anything over 12 to...

I picked up a '65 GT last summer and found on e-bay a full front rotor set-up off of a '65 Barracuda the same week. Won it for around $350. and put it all together while my 273 2bbl. was being rebuilt to commando specs. I was super pleased with the install until I ran into a roadblock to get the...

You members have been great on alerting me that the original Mopar sure grips are out there and not be talked into the thou plus local shops modern suggestion. I've just located an original 8 3/4 posi from a 489 case (the one which I have w/o posi) which the seller says is in excellent condition...

I like the idea of going at it as several suggest with just putting in my 8 -3/4 as is for now to enjoy hanging up the new complete spring system I got from Springs n things without changing out the diff for now. As easy as that is (along with getting the driveshaft correct) I wonder if there is...

Thanks for ithe info. I finally went into a profesional shop (Rearend specialties in San Jose, CA) today and got the straight scoop about my options. He said that the Chrysler 'Sure-Grip' was obsolete and no accompanying parts are available anywhere, though I did have the perfect 8 3/4 for my...

Dustin, I'm 6 mo. into a complete resto. of an orig. owner '65 GT. Last summer before I even took ownership of the car, I jumped ahead and bought a complete rotor system off of e-bay from a parted '65 Baracuda in KY for about $350. and all my mopar cronies said I got the deal of the century...

So I'm converting my '65 Dart GT 7 1/4 to the 8 3/4 rear-end which I found months ago. After learning late and reading lots I see that "bolts right up" is not true and the correct "sure-grip" conversion set up has many combinations of right or wrong pieces that has to be chosen now if I don't...

Joe, great help. If I were to take this 8 3/4 case and have it professionally converted to the suretrak 3rd member and axles, green bearings etc. can I expect those parts to be available unlike the difficulty I encountered just finding my 66-72 full axle (which I now feel very lucky about)...

Geof, thanks a mill for your help. I live in CA but grew up in Jackson and my family has a cottage near you at Strawberry lake. My best childhood memories are of tooling through the Pinckney chain of lakes. I guess I'll start looking around for a '73 Dart Swinger driveshaft for starters. I was...

Joe, I've got perch to perch 43" with the small pattern studs so it must be the 66-72 8 3/4. Did those series come in varied axle width? To pop it on my '65 GT with a driveshaft modification will it clear the fenderwells? Thanks

Thanks Joe, I'm torn from sitting here watching the Master's (Tiger's losing his composure at the minute), and racing down to my shop to check those 43 to 44" hole locations. Wish me luck.

Help! I have been doing a full restoration of an original CA owner '65 Dart GT for six months now. I have aquired every option available (pwr. steer, front rotors,full 235 h.p. commando rebuild etc.) and have loved every minute of it, until now. About three months back I aquired a complete 8...
