Very cool! That spare would look great as garage wall art for sure! Looks like a nice project. Here's to hoping some of those cassettes still rock! haha

The price was right.

Great taste in cars and music! I bet if you look close there's cig burns(bottle toke marks) on the cassette cases
8 cyl, stick, "looks" like Commando. Nice score!

I see hydraulic rocker arms, is that normal for 66 273s

 

[barbee6043]

Thats the best kind to build and the price was right too!

No, 273 is probably long gone. Offy intake, front sway bar, HD suspension?

That looks like a great project that will be lots of fun when "finished" (as if any of these are ever really finished ) Have fun and enjoy!

i think in a previous post he said it was a 318 that had been transplanted in there sometime before being taken off the road.

273's went hydro in 68 with the 2bbl variant offering (dodge only, i think)

Was the engine under water for ten years? Looks like a damn cool little car. I’d have a 5.2 magnum in that thing so quick my head would spin. What a cool car, buckets, 3 pedals, v8, AND sabbath? Score!!

 

[SpikeWills69]

Man! What a sweet score. One of the better looking early Darts for sure with that cool roof treatment. Love it.

 

[Beams]

It’s perfect.

 

[Hyper_pak]

Very nice start.

 

[SSVDP]

Nice!
V8 four speed.
Sweet.

That’s the plan! Got a 5.2 magnum in the yard waiting on the oil pan and some gaskets and parts!

Yes it does have a extra leaf spring! And I believe it’s a 7.25 sure grip as well!
