This summer I took my Dart out of long term storage and did many needed repairs and got it running and handling good again. I got a lot of help along the way with the repairs from member of this forum. Thank you! This Dart has been in my family since new and still has original paint, vinyl top, interior and engine. 318 V8, green vinyl top, green interior, power steering and quiet car package. My Dad installed the correct rally wheels in about 1985 but I still have the original wheels and wheel covers. 99,000 miles.

Nice looking ride you have there !
Nice looking car. My daily driver is a 73 dart sport. People are starting to accept the "beakers".
My 73 Sport. Love the look of yours.
I just replaced the leaking differential pinion seal in my Dart. I got to thinking, I have fixed 10 leaks in this car in the last two years:
radiator
water pump
2 core plugs in the engine
power steering gear box rebuild. This had been leaking for over 30 years.
3 leaks in the automatic transmission
differential pinion seal
oil pressure sender
rear main seal in engine.
Thanks to all on this forum who helped with this list. I hope there will be no more leaks for a while. I am very happy with how this car drives now.
