Let me preface this by saying I'm a city boy and this is my first project :newb: . I'm not an expert at anything except how to use Google. About 4 years ago my girlfriend moved in and was driving a POS old Nissan Sentra. I felt bad and gave her my 3rd gen Miata and bought a Audi TT 3.2. All was well in the world until she caught the sports car bug and piled up a few moving violations and collisions. As a result the love in my relationship with my insurance company quickly faded. They were screwing me hard and I was running out of grease. I'd been looking at classic projects for awhile and telling myself as soon as all these premiums and deductibles dropped I would make a move. Finally I got fed up sold the Audi and started scouring craigslist for prospects. I found a 66 Dodge Dart 270 and got bit hard. It looks like some tried to turn it into a low rider and failed miserably(didn't even bother to roll the fenders before dropping the car). Also the paint job is terribly done. I picked it up off someone who wanted it as a project but now has to leave the country for $2,300. I feel I over paid because its a four door but I really like the car. The goal is for it to be a daily driver as I average about 5 miles a day in driving. No car note, low insurance and no costly foreign maintenance feels pretty nice.
