I restored this car in my garage. The only things I did not do myself was applied the paint and built the transmission. I have been restoring Mopars for over 40 years with many awards under my belt.

This car debuted this April 2022 at CPWs Spring Fling car show in Van Nuys California where it took first place in Class and Best of Show. This car is very streetable and easy to drive. She has about 150 miles on the restoration. I have been following these superstock cars for the last 30 years and I have learned a lot from them. All that knowledge has gone into this car to try and make it as correct as possible. The undercarriage is as detailed as the outside of the car.

$90,000

Possible trades plus cash. Looking for:
1969 Charger 500
1968 Hemi B body
1968, 1969 Super Bee, R/T or A12

What about the Dart???

What about the Dart???

The Dart…..my kid would kill me if I sold the Dart. It is a 472 Hemi 727 and 8 3/4”. I’ve had this car up and running for almost ten years. The only way I would sell it is if somebody gave me $175k for both cars. The gentleman in the first photo is Bob Tarozzi. He is the the man that work for Chrysler (and many other companies) and he was the head engineer in building these cars.

Have the doors been acid dipped? What side glass is on the car?

Have the doors been acid dipped? What side glass is on the car?

Good question. The doors have not been acid dipped. I did not want to do it on a street car. All the glass on that car is new aftermarket glass. The aftermarket glass is around .028 thinner than factory glass. Originally the thin glass that went into these cars were really problematic, it broke ALL the time. Once again I was not going to put a problematic part on a street car.
There are many things I took the liberty in doing for the sake of reliability. One is the ignition system. The original ignition system was the Prestolite system that is very unique. I have many of those parts for a complete set but I found the coil is very different ( the negative side of the coil truly goes to ground) and is the hardest part to find out of that kit. I hid a MSD Digital 6 in the glove box and put electric guts inside a real Prestolite distributor. I was not going to run a four speed car without a rev limiter.….I’m good but not stupid!!LOL!!

Hello there.
The brakes are 1973 and up single piston setup. Lol, I was not spending $7500 on a pair of hubs/rotors to but the correct brakes on. The car started off life as a 318 car but I did add the torque boxes. I do have a pair of velocity stacks for the car but the engines left the assemble plant with those cheap chrome air cleaners and the stacks were in the trunk. I paid $60 each for the blue repop fuel filters on my Dart. The lettering lasted 6 month and then was faded off, was did not do it again. The filters on that car are plain Fram filters with the lettering taken off.
I see that you had a clone yourself at one time but you sold it, nice car! Are you really interested in this car or you just want to see what I did?
One real cool thing I do on these cars are the wheel/tire combo. Did you guys know that they cam with 14” wheels on the front and 15” wheels on the rear? They did! They used a B body style rear diff that was around the same with as a 67 B body but the diff was too wide for the car. They made a special offset rim where the center was pushed out ( hoop was pushed in) so the tire fit under the quarter panel. They went with the B body style diff because they wanted a 4 1/2” bolt pattern and the option of a Dana. They ran a 14” wheel in the front because anything larger would rub the fenders. Fun stuff for sure.
Thanks, Troy
