Wow that is beautiful. That's probably what it looked like going down the assembly line.

Mind if I ask why that car to keep and restore?

 

[Dartsun]

Sweet ride is that the original color?

My guess is that since it's a factory Commando, 4 speed, four door; it's a pretty rare car- and it's worth preserving the oddballs! And after 35 years of owning it, there's plenty of attachment to it.
Love it!!

Love it too

What a rare car!
I love the 4 doors.
It looks like they did a good job on the body.
I can't wait to see it assembled...

Because of the rare combination of the 273, 4 speed, I am the third owner, I have all the original paperwork for it, and I am in contact with the original owner.

That's badass.

Hard to tell but do your front fenders have the holes for the Commando badges in them? In the future we need to get our E-code 4 speed Valiants together!

 

[67Dart273]

That has GOT to be a fairly rare car!! NICE!

 

[Demonracer]

We all want to see the assembly as it progresses.

I had a pair of nos fenders to use, so, yes, I must drill them for the commando emblems

A dark blue 4 door with that engine/4 speed combo shows up periodically at Mopar shows in Western Washington State. Only one I'd ever seen in 25 years of Mopar shows, until this one popped up!
